    Wow, we have some determined people in this group!! Welcome everyone. It's great to have you join us.

    Well, I am feeling wonderful today. My weigh-in is on Thursdays but I always check in on Monday mornings expecting to be up 2 lbs over the weekend. I ate pasta on Friday and a hamburger on Saturday. But I also cleaned out the garage on Saturday and a finished on Sunday. I walked with the kids for about 30 min on Saturday too. I still didn't think I "worked out" enough though. As it turns out, the scale didn't move!! If it showed fractions of pounds, I think I would have even been down a fraction! Woo hoo!!! If TOM doesn't come, I could be down 1 or 2 by Thursday.

    Good job Eboni! I love when a chore turns out to be a good workout! Then you feel like you got twice as much done!

    I had this terrible accident where I slipped yesterday, and a java chiller, meatball sub, and french fries accidentally fell into my mouth! I am refocusing on my goals and determination today. When I got my bodybugg 6 months ago, August 8th was my original weight loss deadline. It's all but here, and I am close, but still 8 pounds off. So I am hoping hoping hoping that I can hit my goal by the end of this month and then start maintenance. If not, it's no biggie, but I am ready to be done with the losing phase after 8 months. My eating habits will not change much, but I would like to stop measuring every ounce of everything I eat, LOL.

    So I've got this green pair of pants hanging in my closet. My old faves... ones I used to wear everyday. Well, not EVERY day, but you KWIM. Anyway, I was thinking about them the last few weeks. Wondering if I'd fit back into them again eventually after having another baby and the hip spread thing. I picked them up this morning, and looked at them. They looked so SMALL to me. I thought, did I really used to wear these all of the time? I knew they wouldn't fit, but I slid them on anyway, just to see how close I am. Well, I got them on, and buttoned all the way up! They're def too tight to wear, but I am not a total sausage in them either! If I lose maybe 5 more pounds, I think I'll be into them again :). Which was shocking to me! I may do a pic in them later, and then again at the end of the month and see where I am at. But I hung them out on my closet door to help me remember what my goals are this month.

    What kind of things motivate you guys?

    :laugh: Tattoodfreek: I love the bit about your accendent...:laugh: I'm sorry you had to go thru that! You WILL make your goal! And great job on the favorite pants.:flowerforyou:
    My motivation/surprise is/was my old haltertop jean dress that i wore back in high school. It may sound weird, but it really is a cute dress and rather fitted. I remember wearing it and it started to get tighter and tighter. Then it got retired to the back of the closet. About a month ago I got it out and it looked and felt pretty close to how it did back then! It was a little snug, but maybe in about 5 more pounds it can come out of retirement!

    Hello Eboni,
    I like to weigh in on Thursday or Friday and my offical weigh in is Sunday and Monday. I take the best weight from Sunday and Monday weights. Monday is usually the winner. I am glad I found this tread today because I did not want to do the challenges either but I did want to set a goal for myself. If I get close I am going to be happy.

    Well, I'm off to the gym in a couple minutes. I have a motivational pair of jeans too. I used to wear them "everyday" too. :wink: Well, I have a picture of myself in them after my first baby... which was after I lost 30 lbs to be at my goal weight, 8 years ago!... anyway, they looked so cute on me with my little baby in my arms. They are in my bottom drawer and I can't wait to get back into them. 40-50 more pounds to go!! :laugh:

    Hi everyone :smile: Time to start fresh with a whole new month ahead of us! I haven't posted in a few days cause I was in bed with the flu. BRUTAL. Didn't work out for a whole 3 days! (but didn't eat anything either, so I hope it won't kill me :tongue:) I did make my goal for July though! And then some with the last 2 days, but I'm not counting that...
    Keep up the good work everyone

    Hey Kids! It's great to be back. I was away from my computer for 4 days so I didn't get a chance to post my total loss for July. I lost 9 pounds! I did have a rocky weekend though consisting of a seafood buffet on Saturday and a pizza buffet last night. No more buffets for me for a while. This was kind of my mini-vacation for the year! I think I will shoot for a 6 pound loss this month. I look forward to reading about everyone's progress. Keep up the good work everybody!!

    Welcome to all of the new faces!!

    We are gonna get in those motivational clothes!!!

    Last night I had what I would like to think of as a progressional setback. My refound motivation from yesterday was hiding last night as I decided to eat back all of the cals I burned at ZUMBA in ice cream and chocolate peanut butter bugles. I was still under my cals for the day, but I should have made a better choice! Oh well, day #3 of the month is going well so far! I went to the farmers market and got a bunch of lovely produce. It was so stinkin packed there, people must have backed into fatbaby in her stroller at least 1000 times. She probably has whiplash.

    I am debating if I want to do class at the gym tonight, or just go and do a workout. I really want to do this kickboxing class, but I just have a feeling fatbaby is gonna pitch a fit (she hates the daycare there if her brothers and sisters are not with her) and I am going to be embarrassed when they come pull me out of class. I should be lifting anyway since I did cardio last night. Then it's only frustrating instead of embarrassing AND frustrating.

    tiarapants: down 2 pounds is great!!

    So, I've been cheating by getting on the scale early and often. Monday morning I had maintained from Thursday's weigh in. Tuesday and today I am down 2 pounds so I hope it sticks... at least one of them. Anyway, after my weigh in, I'm taking the kids to the free family movie day. Fun, fun!

    Hello Everyone,

    Eboni I have been cheating also. I don't know but being in this WL group has given me the push I needed to foucus on my goals. I reached my 20 pound milestone June 5th and then I gained back over 10 of those pounds in the next 10 days or so. I had to spend all of July getting the 10+ pounds off again:sad:

    Last Thursday I hit 20 pounds down a 2nd time this year!:smile: and I was hoping it would hold until Monday and it did and I had lost an extra pound to boot for 21 pounds. Now that I have learned my lesson from the last six weeks, I think I am ready to keep going and be consistent until I reach a the dreaded stall or plauteau. I am feeling good. I have the right mindset from all of my different support groups and I am ready to lose my next 100 and get under 300 pounds by March 2011.

    I love MFP and it does work if you work it.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Finally after 4 months I have learned more each day about navagaiting and using the site to the fullest. So glad I found this group and I know I am going to lose my 10 and if I do more that is even better. If I do less which I doubt, I will not trip either like I did in June. I am going to lose something this month.

    With this being hump day, I have worked out 3 days so far with 2 or 3 workouts left. My minimum each week is 5 days and anything extra is gravy.

    Everyone have a good week!!:flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou: I will check back in on Monday for my official weigh in!!

    Great job so far eboni, tiara, and mollie! You guys are getting it done!

    Mollie, as much as that backsliding stinks, I think it teaches us a valuable lesson. I am glad you were able to take something from it and refocus!

    I had a great time in Zumba last night. I really like the Wednesday night instructor versus the Monday. I am anxious for weigh in tomorrow!
