    Good Morning Ladies! My stats for the week are:

    SW: 181
    CW: 170.5 (down 1 pound since last week)
    GW: 140

    NSV for this challenge:

    1. Finish this 30 day shred!
    2. Eat more fruits and veggies this week
    3. Work harder to stay within my daily calorie limits (I did pretty good on my calorie intake this week, all things considered)

    My previous NSV was to fit into my size 10 suit on Easter Sunday....well....I can get into it, but "fitting" it is a whole other story. I still need to lose about 10 more pounds before it will actually fit like it used to, but I'll take "getting" into it for now. :-)

    Official weigh in goals:
    2/21: 177.5 (met this one)
    4/21: 160
    6/21: 143

    Between lifting and TOM scale hasn't moved...in fact it was up a few pounds. I have decided to up the cardio and clean up my eating. Giving up is not an option...new month time to get it all right.

    Hi, ladies I hope all is well with everyone. This week I have not lost nor have I gained so I am at that plateau I guess so I am determined to kick it up a notch. I currently go skating now twice a week, I jump rope, and now I have incorporated jogging into my workouts to switch it up a bit.

    SW: 204
    CW: 178
    GW: between 165-175

    My goal size I have met a 10/12 my shirt size I have met M/L. So now I have reset my apperance goals to include a tummy tuck in March of 2014, because I have had a hysterectomy, sinus surgery, and lost a great deal of weight all in the last 6 months. That is my reward to myself for going thru... and dealing and committing to this LIFE JOURNEY. I have had 4 children and my pouch will not go away for anything. I have been to the 3 different doctors and they all say the same thing no amount of exercise will make my lower abdominal muscles go back together, so that's why I will be getting it. I have already started saving for it! wish me Luck...

    I'm down .4 this week!!! I'm thrilled about it. Any loss two weeks in a row is winning for me. :) I've been eating much better, and I'm hoping to do a better job in coming weeks of syncing my good eating habits with exercise. It's spring and I'm getting my second wave of motivation. I'm powering through.

    Keep up the great work everyone!!! :)

    NS Goals this week
    1) Burn 3500 calories by next Sunday
    2) Keep sugar and sodium low
    3) PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY! Because if I could do it alone I would have. It's time to call in the reinforcements! :laugh:

    Everyone is doing so well -- way to go, ladies!!!

    Here's my weekly check in

    03/18 SW 199
    03/25 197.6 woot!
    04/02 oops! no weigh-in
    04/09 203.6

    This week's weight is way up, but I ran an 8K yesterday so I think my muscles are still a little angry with me an holding fluid. Especially since my clothes are smaller (woot!) and I haven't been going crazy with my calorie intake. I'll probably check in again mid week and see if it drops any before I go into a full-blown panic.

    I've done some damage during the Spring break/Easter and was afraid to step
    on that evil scale. But, I'm shaking it off and getting back to work. I just hope I have not
    hit the dreaded plateau! (again)

    Glad to know things are going well with you. I know that first trimester can be a beast, but you're almost done with the first one and from there, it should be a little easier day by day. Best wishes!
