    Weighed in today and was actually really nervous about it for the first time in 7 week, but I lost 2.5 pounds which is 5.5 pounds so far this month!! Woo-hoo! That is 13.5 pounds in 7 weeks. Next week is Spring break; it's going to be really hard to keep up the good work because I will not have a car for a few days, so it will be hard to get to the gym., but know I can do it!!
    Hopefully everyone else has had a good week!! Happy Friday :-)

    So I haven't checked in all month because I'm feeling sorry for myself. I started at 148.5 or something like that, and today I am 146.5... I'm doing wonderful so far!! LOL Not giving up though, guess I'm just going to be slow this month!

    I'm down 6lbs since the beginning of the month but I'm not sure I'll hit that magic 10 number till the second week of April since I've been averaging 2lbs per week.

    Wow , so many of you are really dong this, I am impressed!!! I am only down about 4lbs so I don't see making it to 10 by April. I will be happy to make it at least half way though. Gotta say I am inspired at how quick some of you can shed pounds! My body seems to have me on an every-other-week plan, a couple pounds one week, and the none the next. What is up with that? I do wish it would move faster, but I am trying to be content that , although slower than I would like, there is downard motion.

    Congrats to everybody who have already reached ten, and who are close to ten! Pretty amazing job! :flowerforyou:
    Whatever you are doing, just keep doing it.

    Yep, I am right there with you. I lose one week and maintain the next week. Oh, well! I am still working at it though. Maybe I'll hit 5 lbs by the 31st...5 lbs in a month isn't too bad! Let's keep at it!

    It is impressive how well so many of you are doing! I was on a roll, but a few things got in the way and I haven't lost anymore. I might still be able to make it by April, we'll just havwe to see. I'm going to give it my best though!

    Congrats to those who have already lost 10 pounds, and good luck to the rest of us still trying! We can do it! And if not, at least we'll be closer than we were before. :happy:

    Glad to see people are still going strong out there! I've lost 5 lbs, gained 7, and then lost 5 again! Heh... Well, at least I'm more or less where I began. I'm down 2 lbs since March 1st so far, and my adjusted goal for the month has changed to 185. It's a long shot, but that's ok. I was SO happy when I stepped on the scale this morning. :bigsmile:

    Havent posted much since joining this challenge. I was frusterated because I was doing everythng right and not losing at all. I think that I have finally figured out the right calories and it is all starting to come together. I uped my calorie intake from 1200-1500 and the pounds are melting away. I think that I finally believe the whole "eat to lose" idea. I started this challenge at 159.8 (I think). I held steady at the for about 3 weeks, but have since dropped 5 pounds. I weighed in yesterday at 154.6! I really think that if I keep at this pace I will make the 150 pounds that I was hoping for by Easter! 4.6 pounds to go!!!

    Good morning, everyone! Congratulations to all the losers out there! It looks like everyone is doing really well. I also really like that no-one is giving up! Those of you who are not losing as fast as you expected deserve the biggest pat on the back for not giving up!I am happy to report that I have reached my goal. I lost another 1.8 this week for a total of 10.4. I was pleased and surprised. The goal I set for myself is a modest 1.5 lbs per week, so to have reached 10.4 feels really great. I don't anticipate such big losses in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for all the support and encouragement and the best to you all.

    I enjoy a good challenge. I do have a very unfair advantage as I have a lot to lose. However only with 9 days left it will be hard. So let’s see what happens. Good luck to you all. Even if you fall short your still are a winner! :glasses:

    Well I didn't loose any thing this week so still at 9.5 lbs but I got measured for the first time since I started with my personal trainer on 2/10 and I lost 9.75 inches :noway: ! 4.75 of them from my waist. I did a little dance in the measurement room when I saw that. :happy:

    I am doing so horribly this week..at at Olive Garden, then ate at the Corner bakery and the Cheesecake factory...but I am still working out, but I know I have eaten way to many calories in the last 3 days..grrrr....this week will be hard to weigh in since we are on spring break and I know you are supposed to weigh in on the same scale, but I won't beable too...hopefully the scale at the health club likes me just as much as the scale at school.

    Great job to all those who have reached the 10 pound mark for March!! Keep up the good work :-)

    Well I weighed in this morning and I am 197 (with clothes on :wink: ) so that means I made my 10lbs challenge for March. I am going to wait a few days and see how it goes since sometimes it fluctuates for me.

    Congrats to everyone for still being involved so late in the month!!!
