    My current weight is holding steady at 286.4, ugh...I suppose I shouldn't be upset, I'm still exercising and watching my food intake, so it really could be worse.

    Hello ladies just checking in! I am excited to continue this weight loss journey but as I call it "My Lifestyle Change." I have started boot camp and weight traiing so the scale is all over the place....I gained 2lbs of muscle but lost inched off of my waist, so that is a plus. My trainer told me not to focus on the numbers now but how the way my clothes fit. Needless to say they fit great now!

    SW: 204
    CW: 180
    GW: 170

    My goals by June 21, 2013
    1. comfy size 9 (currently in a 10/12 but can fit some 9's)
    2. weight down to 165/170lbs
    3. go shopping for a new wordrobe! :-D
    4. run 2 5K's

    YANA150,
    You are still doing an excellent job! Keep it up and it will all change because of your hard work and dedication to it.....
  • Hello Ladies,

    I would like to join in the weight loss challenge.

    My CW: 178
    My GW by 6/7/2013: 168
    My GW by 7/7/2013: 158
    My GW by 8/7/2013: 148
    My GW by 9/7/2013: 138
    My GW: 135


    How do I plan to get to those markers...hemmmm well I plan to track my calories and points (WW). I plan to have a least 1 protein shake for a meal each day. Eat healthy (by this I mean add fruit and veggies with each meal & snack) and no eating past 8 pm. Oh and 64 oz of water per day.

    When it comes to exercise I plan to do 30 minutes of cardio 5-6 days per week and 2-3 days of at home strength training (push ups, lunges, squats, kettle bell swings)

    I am hoping improve my energy levels and increase the quality of my sleep.

    I look forward to chatting with you ladies each week. Lets make this happen.

    Good Morning Ladies! It's been a couple of weeks since I checked in. The last two weeks for me, I stayed the same, but during that time period, I readjusted some things, I'm refocused and back on the losing side again. :-) Here are my stats:

    SW: 181
    CW: 164.5 (down 3.5 pounds since last weigh in)
    GW: 140

    NSV for this challenge:

    1. Get more strength training in so I can see more inch loss
    2. Eat more fruits and veggies this week
    3. Work harder to stay within my daily calorie limits

    Official weigh in goals:
    2/21: 177.5 (met this one)
    4/21: 160 (not so much; I'm at 168 as of today, but I'm not going to complain)
    6/21: 152 (adjusted from 143 since I was so far off my Apr goal)

    Summer Challenge SW: 184.8
    Summer challenge GW: 165.0

    April 21 goal: 170 (actual 170.8; close enuf)
    June 21 goal: 165

    5/13 172.4 (+1.6) :sick:
    5/20
    5/27


    NSV:
    1. Re-focus and get back on track. I am not working out as hard as I should and the scale is reflecting that. Thinking about trying CROSSFIT.
    2. Get my butt out of bed and workout!
    3. Continue to eat well and cut out the sweets. I "allowed" myself a few too many celebratory treats.

    You're doing great! I am trying to keep up with you on the weight loss but you've just left me in the dust. Going to focus on "catching up" with you to motivate myself (hope you don't mind) :flowerforyou:

    Just wanted to check in I lost 1 pound this week. I am celebrating every pound lost. I am at 18lbs lost and I am 19lbs away from my first goal to get under 200lbs. I have not been under 200 since my 7 year old was born. I know I need to clean up my diet, and exercise outside of work.

    You can do it .Do not forget to increase your water intake and decrease your sodium. This works for me when I want a little push. Good luck .

    I'm having very slow weight loss...not discouraged but it's difficult to work so hard and only see a little loss. I'm going to drink loads of water this week and watch the sodium as well as keep up the water aerobics and walking. Good luck ladies!

    I definitely understand what you're going through. For me, the scale is moving in the wrong direction! Sodium is a major culprit for the appearance of weight gain and trying to drink the necessary amount of water to alleviate the water retention can be tedious. Hang in there, we can do it.

    hi Rachel, welcome !. You have joined a very supportive group of ladies. Hope that your journey will be very rewarding to you. I have never heard of the 80/20 rule. But when I stick to the 100% rule , I definitely see results. Good luck on your journey.

    Hi ladies, I'd love to join your little group. I'm hoping to lose the baby fat (35 pounds) after having our little princess 10 days ago. All I can do is walk at the moment for the next 5 weeks post surgery, but hoping to progress to a heavier workout schedule after that. My family has decided to do a full lifestyle change with juicing being a big part of that and I look forward to a healthier future. I definitely need the motivation and encouragement and hope I can find that here among you lovely ladies...

    GW: 199

    I'd like to complete this goal by the time my son leaves for college in August. I've already lost quite a bit, but I'm not completely happy with those graduation pics!

    Although I suffer from chronic anemia due to kidney disease, I'm determined to push through and make it happen the best way I know how!

    Thanks!
