    Wow the months has whizzed by. Congratulations Angelwings on the weight loss.
    Terri, Surely the gain today was water retention. We'll see by Friday if you are down again. I am sure you will be.
    I lost 5.5 pounds this month Feeling great. I think today I will get out the sewing machine and take in a few of my baggy pants. I took in a t-shirt this morning before I went out because it was too loose. took my measurements and lost an inch in my waist, one in my thighs, one in my hips and even one in my bust! Life is great! It has not been easy but it has been worth it. I like the slow and steady progress. Each week one pound doesn't sound like too much but it all adds up.

    SW 159
    3/1 - 150.5
    3/5 - 149!
    3/12 - 147
    3/19 - 146
    3/26 - 145
    3/31 - 145

    Good luck everyone and can't wait to start APRIL and see what happens next month as well.
    Phyllis:wink:

    Look at you! You are almost 1/2 way to your goal. That has got to feel so awesome!:drinker: :drinker:

    Angelwings, Terri, Phylis and others "losers"., congrats. That is great. I'm still in the lurks. I'm down at my mother's, gottat take her in this am for some minor surgery, but I weighed on her scale and I made the 5 lb. loss by 2 lbs. But, you know how scales can vary. I'll weigh in on my won tomorrow and report. At any rate, I'm celebrating. :smile:
    Spring break is a downer here as well, Its cold, rainy, sometimes snowy. I drove the 2 hr. trip to mom's yesterday and went the gamit of weather. Started with drizzle, then rain, then snow. And that was fefore i even left town. Later getting down here it was just rainy off and on with patched of blue sky, but cold (20s - 30s). Ya gotta love the weather in Idaho.
    Good luck on the job hunting rj. I know the right job is out there waitng for you and needs your talent.
    Terri, we will continue this next month,right?
    Checking in tomorrow,
    Jacque


    I plan to continue this challenge next month also. I think we have found a great group of supportive and dedicated people.
    Your drive sounds like the one we did on Christmas day. We left my parents and it was snowing hard with very little visibility. The drifts were so high we did not think the four wheel drive was going to make it. The further east we drive the lighter the snow became and by the time we were an hour from our house it was raining. That was an odd one for Minnesota. Yesterday was in the 70's. This has been a strange spring but after the long cold winter it feels good.

    I will start a new thread tomorrow and post the link here so everyone can find us.

    Snack time is almost over so I better get the little ones out of their high chairs.

    Wow - look at what we did! Congrats everybody for losing and maintaining and hanging in no matter what.

    I really feel my win this month was not so much the loss, but the staying with it, and I have you all to thank for that. Next month should be an interesting process. I've only managed to weigh less than this before (as an adult) through obsession, punishment, suffering and unrealistic workout schedules, so this will be a new experience.

    My official weigh in is 129.5 which is 4.5 pounds down, and I'm happy with that. I might make the 5 pounds by tomorrow am, but I'm going to the Happiest Flipping Place On Earth today so I'm not holding my breath!

    Angelwings - we're just about in the same place - that's so cool.

    OK, I was up 0.2 lb for the month which is OK since 3 weeks of the month were not focused on logging my intake and logging my exercise. It could have been a nasty weight gain.

    I will be happy with after 6 months, maybe I have learned to eat foods that are somewhat healthy and in moderation as a way of life...making better choices, which is really hard with a full bar and buffet for a week

    June 19th, I will be participating in the warrior dash...5K obstacle race (jumping fire, mud crawling)...at the end waiting is an ice cold beer. So, I need to build endurance running and building strength so I can climb the walls

    10 weeks to prepare....Goal of 1 to 2 lb weight loss per week...total loss by race day is 10 to 20 lbs

    Happy April everyone!!!!

    I will weigh in the morning. I just wanted to say that I finally see my endricrinologist in the morning and I will discuss with her why weight loss is so very slow for me - is it just the diabetes or is there something else going on or maybe I just need to be even more strict with my food. I am exercising every day so I feel like I'm good there. I do hope that I have at least lost another pound tomorrow. I will let y'all know after my appt.

    I only lost 3 lbs this month will work harder next month and not eat my extra calories from my workouts and see if that helps.:grumble:

    For the people that didn't make their goals at least we can start fresh for the month of April. :happy:

    For those who made their goals CONGRATULATIONS. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
