    yay!! im interested in that challenge exactly.. 147ish now and hoping to be between 135-140 by the first week of august and a flat(er) tummy and inner thighs i don't have to feel crazy self-conscious about in shorts. [being a teenager sucks] i had a tough day at work today.. i work at an amazing sandwich shop where i get any food completely free.. i took only small bites of some really naughty foods.. and felt very guilty. they do have a few healthy alternatives for when i am truly hungry, but i also have to handle with the wonderful smell of delicious fresh-baked cookies ALL the time.. haha any suggestions?! everything is so tempting!!

    Hi hanah-

    Welcome aboard. I would try to bring something healthy like a hungry girl sandwich with you so you are not tempted to eat the high calorie stuff. Keeping yourself hydrated and satisfied is the key.

    Hi Ladies-

    Today was my official 1 week weigh in for this challenge. I lost between 1.2 and 1.4 lbs this week. That gets me to the 10 lbs lost mark. Last night I went out and bought my reward sun glasses. I can't wait to hit 169 now! Hoping for next week :)


    How is everyone else doing?

    Love and light

    Hey, seems a little late maybe, but I hope you all dont mind if I join. At the end of July I am going home to visit my family. They have not seen me since I lost all of the weight, which was last November. I know I have made alot of progress since then, but I really have hit a rut recently and I hope to lose ten more pounds before I see them. Actually 11 lbs because that would put me in the 160's and I havent been there since I dont remember when!
    Current weight: 180 lbs
    End of July goal: 169 lbs
    Good luck you guys! We can DO THIS!!!

    Welcome aboard ladies!

    How is everyone doing today? I am feeling pretty good. I am at 2 and a half weeks and I am even about to start my cycle and I am feeling thinner today. I haven't felt any different until today. I am hoping and praying to hit my 10 lbs on Monday. I have a few things comming up in the next 5 weeks.

    I would love to hit these goals but they are big and I am not going to cry if I don't make it.

    4th of July: down 13lbs
    July 15, 2 year Aniversay: down 19lbs
    Daughter's 1st Birthday 26.6 lbs down

    How is everyone today? I didn't exercise yesterday or today, I was out of the house at the times I normally exercise and my daughter is teething and having bm issues so she has been very uncomfortable, not sleeping or napping well. Plus TOM so my energy level is way down. I am going to try to at least go for a walk tonight and exercise tommorow, weigh in is Monday. Still hoping for the 10 lbs mark a little nervous!

    Hello everybody!
    I just (as in 10 minutes ago) registered with this site and from what I've seen so far, it's great!
    I'd like to join this challenge. My goal is to get down to 135 by the beginning of August. Right now I'm at 150.
    I just got back from dinner at a restaurant and am feeling like I let myself down today but it's just a blip in the road and I'm going to keep trekking along!
    One day at a time..:smile:

    Hey Ladies,

    How is everyone doing? I have like 40 hours until my in-laws get here. I have been working so hard on getting my house ready and trying to catch up on sleep because my daughter is waking up 3 times at night that I haven't been able to exercise for omg a week now. I don't really know how I am going to exercise for the next month. I am going to have to force myself to get out walking. I was however out of the 180's on my homescale. :happy: Hope everyone is having a great day!

    Congrats on getting out of the 180's CW. I am managing to still ride the bike. However, my puppy insists I hold her during it or she tries to bite the wheels and gets hit in the head. She is 5 lbs I wonder if I burn more calories holding her????

    Hey Everyone!

    How was ya'lls 4th?

    Mine wasn't bad. I have eaten 4 times this week and normally I only eat out once. I thought I was out of the 180's but not quite yet. That was my at home weight so I will see for sure on Monday. My in-laws are here now and my 13 year old sister in law wants to exercise with me and I think she is going to totally kick my butt. She runs a mile a day or so. I use to run a mile everyday when I was her age. Wish me luck! We are going to be out and about a lot in the next few weeks. I really wanna lose 15lbs in 4 weeks from today! I gotta step my game back up if I am going to do that.

    Have a great weekend!

    You have my support....congratulations for making it this far. My goal is to lose 20 pounds which will put me at the top of the chart for a healthy weight for my height. My goal is to lose the weight, stay healthy and hopefully to be able to throw away the blood pressure medicine!! :flowerforyou:

    I hope everyone is doing well and this tread is not dead we have a few more weeks.... Keep strong! I am extremely stressed out, my in-laws are driving me insane, I am trying to find a few children to watch in my home, but I am trying to keep my head in the game. I have 2 and a half weeks to drop 9.4 lbs. I lost .4 last week so I am way behind. Good luck everyone!

    My Game Plan:
    Walk 30 minutes 2 x a day, 100 sit-ups daily.
