    Sorry all I have been MIA for about 2 weeks. We went out of town to a wedding where my computer's motherboard died. So I was computerless that week and when I finally did get home and bought a new computer my internet wouldn't work. We have verizon's wireless so we finally recieved our new one today and so now I am back. I hope everyone is doing good with their weight loss.

    Hey guys!

    Sorry I've been MIA for about a month lol I'm actually trying hard to get back into my groove. I've been doing good so far with exercising and logging my food.

    How has everyone been doing?

    Are you guys pumped for Eclipse!?!? I sure am! :drinker: It's coming up so fast!

    No loss for me. I don't think I am going to make my Eclipse goal, I've been having a hard time the last couple of weeks. I feel like I need a break not a completely stop break but a a break but then I feel guilty. When you are losing weight for so long it just starts to become a pain. I just have to keep telling myself 16 more lbs then I can maintain!!!! I just wish it would hurry the heck up. Well anyways I hope everyone is getting excited about Eclipse, I believe there is 6 more weeks till the premiere. I need to give the books another go around before it comes out. I hope everyone has a great week!

    Is it too late to join? I just joined about 5 days ago, and love this site! My recent weigh in was 198, a BMI at 34 and heigth of 5'4 and 34 years old.. I'm ready for a change, and i'm ready to lose for good! I couldn't help but notice :Twilight" in the subject line, love the books! If its not late, I'd love to join. By June 30th, the goal is to lose 10 pounds, and BMI down to at least 32.

    Welcome funngrl and monmcb!! :flowerforyou: (and welcome to the site monmcb!)

    Yay for 6 weeks left!! Usmc, don't be discouraged at all, I agree with wannabeacullen, it just means a better number next week!:glasses: Are you putting on muscle? I've maintained the past few weeks, but have definitely upped my weights and put on some muscle...so putting on muscle weight + not losing overall weight= lost some fat = :drinker: I do have a few more pounds I want to lose though before the premiere, and then like you, I'm stoked to do some maintenance work!:wink:

    I just started the Muscle and Fitness Hers magazine challenge today, anyone doing it? :smile: I wanted to change up my lifting splits and workouts, so I'm going to do it for eight weeks, then do Jillian Michael's 30 day shred (eek!:noway: )

    Happy Monday everyone!!! :happy:

    Great Job KCSPEARS! Down 34lbs is awesome. You already got your tickets? I didn't even know you could buy them yet. I guess I know what I have to do today! :happy: I can't believe it's gonna be June soon that's crazy.

    Welcome to the group yahtzee, monmcb & funngrl!

    Oh so I figured out why I was feeling so crappy last week and why I was starving and almost ready to quit........TOM graced me with her presence Monday morning about 1 1/2 weeks early. What a pain!!!!:grumble: But now that she is here I feel much better. I just keep saying 16 more lbs, 16 more lbs.

    I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Keep up all the hard work.

    Congrats on your loss acureese! Your almost there!

    welcome!!! :-)

    i'm like you too, too high a BMI... i'm 34 and had a BMI of 27.3, but since i've joined, its dropped to 25.6 so being on here, and the supportive environment, has really helpful and i hope it helps you too!!!

    You are where I started! I'm down to a BMI of 25.9, only .9 away from being in the healthy category:bigsmile:

    You can do it, if I can! You have a great goal for yourself, but I bet you'll surpass it by June 30th! Congrats on the 1 pound you've already lost:drinker:

    Congrats KCSpears!! That's awesome!! :flowerforyou:
    Thanks usmc, yep two more to go, feeling awesome!! I think it's going to take awhile though, I'm trying to put on some more muscle too, so I might gain before I lose. We'll see! :smile: This 8 week challenge from Muscle and Fitness Hers definitely had me sore this week!! Wow TOM visitor was early, glad it explained how you were feeling! Sigh, gotta love our hormones :tongue:

    Funnygrrl, way to double it up! :glasses: I'm pretty excited to do it, too! How's the diet part of it going :smile: I'm doing this 8 week thing first to put on more muscle mass, then want to follow it with the shred to really push me that extra bit...it's gonna be an awesome summer of workouts!! :drinker:

    Oh...I know it's really late in the game, but I just recently joined MFP and would really like to join in! Right now I'm at 156 and change and I'm 5'4" tall. My goal by Eclipse is 151 - think that's really do-able.

    I love the Twilight saga and have read all four, plus what was written on Midnight Sun (I really hope she finishes that one too) and a few of the extra's on Stephanie's website. Someone's probably already mentioned this, but I didn't see it so just in case...."The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" comes out in June too I think.

    Has anyone read "The Host"?

    I can't wait!! Oh..and I'm team Jacob :) Extremely warm blooded, tall, dark, handsome, protective, strong...okay, I'll stop...ahhhhhhh.

    Plus I'm hoping the Twilight Challenge will be extended for Breakding Dawn too :)

    Down .8 this week. I have been doing good during the week but letting go on the weekends. I know I would be losing a lot more if I could stay focused on the weekends as well. I hope everyone else is doing good.

    Welcome to the group JesseD! I think extending for Breaking Dawn is a great idea as soon as we have a release date.

    I got my Eclipse tickets, those suckers were 12 dollars a piece for the Midnight Premiere! You know they are going to make a ton of money off this movie! But I am super excited about going, about 5 more weeks.

    Welcome JesseD! :flowerforyou: I haven't read the Host either, anyone have any reviews to share on it? :smile: I like the idea of a Breaking Dawn challenge too, it'll be fun to have new goals one we meet these ones!! :glasses:

    Great job usmc! I hear you about the weekends, they're the hardest for me too. Living abroad we tend to travel a lot or explore different restaurants with friends, and it's hard not to want to drink all the wine and eat cheeses and desserts and everything (especially when they're all so good here!). I'm getting a bit better at moderation though, and I figure if I'm eating clean during the week, I can enjoy a glass or two of wine and a dessert on the weekends guilt-free, right? :tongue:
    Wow, only 5 weeks left? Time's flying by!!

    Ooh I wanted to share, I have a new PR for holding a plank, held it for 3 mins and 15 seconds today, whoohoo!! :drinker: My goal is a 5 minute plank by Eclipse!! :happy:
