April, i know what you mean about the stressful week. I was just looking back over my "bad days" and it seems they always fall over the weekend. I hate to think this, but the only common thread is that that's when the hubby is home and helps make food choices. Somehow it's harder for me to stick to my goals with him eating junk in front of me all day long. I seem to pick myself back up immediately monday morning and do fine again until the weekend occurs. Don't know what to do. Oh well here's to fighting for strengthening will power. I know if we work hard and keep each other motivated we all can put our bad days behind us and forgive ourselves for having them eventually.0

Woohoo, first page!
I'm excited for everyone. I love seeing all of the progress that is being made and the determination that is going along with it.
April - looking forward to seeing the new 'do!0 -
I think I will be down another lb tomorrow but here we will see.

I am very sad to report that I have lost no weight this week!
( I'm not really sure why. I haven't done anything differently...except a margarita Friday night...ooops! lol I don't really think that hurt me because I hadn't lost any weight up to that point anyway! I'm really hoping for a better week this week!! I need everyone's help to keep going and not feel too bad!!!!! I'm pretty disappointed!! I was really hoping to hit that 20 pound mark today!! ( I hope to have better news next Monday!! I hope everyone else had a great week!!! 0 -
Here's to a successful week ahead. It's Back to School night for me tonight (so, teach all day, then go to the gym, then another round of teaching....) So, I should at least be completely dehydrated when I return home at 9 tonight! (Ummm....silver lining meter says XXX,,,, okay, I'll be moving and on my feet for the next 15 hours?) Lunch and dinner are packed, and I'm ready to go!

Hi all! Hope everyone is well. I haven't lost pounds, but I've lost inches.... so I'm still happy.
3 lbs lost out of 200 -
What a morning to start the day .... today is my hubby's 26th birthday :smooched: so dinner will probably be Applebees (yum) however, I went in the spare bedroom to say good morning to my Wasser (6yr old bearded dragon) and I found him not breathing :frown: Nick and I have had him since righ after we started dating and it's hard. What really makes it worse, this is the 4th pet within a year I have lost. This summer, my mom (and my) cat Kiki of 8yrs (our 3-legged kitty) snuck out of the house and the heat got to him, in Feb, our much older bearded dragon, Fat Fred, passed away (he was easily 15yrs and a rescue) and then one that hurt the most was my dear Sox (aka my Poppy since he wasn't a puppy at 10yrs old) passed away in my arms a week after surgery with anesthesia which he had a reaction to. Sorry to pull you all into my really gloomy day. but if you have any pets, furry or scaly, give the a good hug.
So, now that it is Mon, what are some exercise plans? I'm running today and possibly tomorrow then no more til Saturday. I may try 30day shred again soon, I'm on L1D3 whenever I do it. I have plenty of walks in mind and perhaps so pilates again. Enjoy your week all. :drinker: Here's to mine getting better.0 -
Hello all H20er's! I didn't weigh in yesterday 1) because I was keeping my 9 month old nephew and he doesn't understand that I need to take a moment in the morning to step on the scale and 2) TOM has arrived and I wasn't even motivated to try to fit in a second to do it. I had the swollen fingers/feet and had been feeling so UNmotivated for most of the week. Did well with food all week and even struggled to eat all my calories but I just could NOT get my azz moving! Ok...so it has been a stressful week for me too. I'm helping our daughter fill out all of her college apps and missing her already so have been a little on the depressed side. (Ok...A LOT on the depressed side) The legs just didn't feel like moving! But I am feeling better this morning and it is a new day and a new week and I am ready to get moving again! It doesn't hurt that the scale is showing another 1.1 lb. gone! Congrats to everyone who has lost and don't give up to those who didn't!
8/15 - 231.5
8/22 - 230.5
8/29 - 228.4
9/5 - 225.5
9/13 - 224.4 (total lost for this challenge 6.1...only 13.9 to go!)0 -

Awwww Bru....I am so sorry. Our pets are our babies and I know how bad it hurts. We lost a pet this year too and it was just heartbreaking for all of us. Our NoNo was a beautiful kitty and he had Feline Leukemia when we adopted him. The doc told us he could live all of his life with it or he may go early. We left for a night and came back the next morning and he was laying in his favorite spot barely breathing. The vet couldn't do anything for him. My heart hurts for you!0 -

Good Monday morning everyone looking foward to a great week my goal this week is to set my menu in the morning for that day and stick to it without changing it it worked out well yesterday and today I already have it set and I am only 5cals over but a little high on fat will have to work on that part. Getting my water intake back up and hitting it hard with insanity picking back up where I left off so I think I am in store for a good week!!
Bru sorry about your pet actually made me feel crappy because I am sitting here thinking about getting rid of my dogs they need to be well trained and noone here wants to put in the time sad but true!!
So far week 1 I wasn't officially here but I weighed 159.4 8/20
Week 2 165.2
Week 3 164.8
Week 4 9/13 164.2
Week 5
Week 60 -

He is still looming I hope he's gone by weigh in day (Wed)!!! I am going to start my week with some cleaning I have lots of cleaning and rearranging to do before Wednesday,, I think my scale lied to me last week it said I had lost 9lbs.... With TOM being here IDK if it was accurate or if I was just standing wrong IDK I am going to see this Wed I guess lol Stupid old fashioned floor scales!!!

Way to go on the losses and maintains, you guys! Maintains are victories, too. Remember that.
April, your new hair is so cute! I'm digging the red highlights.
Bru, sorry to hear about your lizard. Losing a lovie is so hard. They're not pets, they're family.
Kitsune, that fox costume is SO cute! I found this one - it isn't as cute as the Yandy one - but it could be a good option! http://www.amazon.com/Costume-SuperCenter-Foxy-Lady-Adult/dp/B000GWHBAE0 -

So I just stumbled upon this 20lb thing. when did you guys start? I have been doing this now for 20ish days. Im not excercise much because I am doiing core stregnthing 2 times a week for a injury. The eliptical only 10mins on that same day. I can do more just need to do it. I was thinking of joining with you guys on this.0 -

This is our 4th week. It doesnt matter if you make it to 20 pounds lost or not.. Its the fact you are trying. And were all getting to know each other really well.. Pinky & Bru, help out when I dont have time.. Welcome aboard.. Looking forward to continuing the journey with you.. 0 -
Welcome Certified_Femail!
I need to get myself psyched up about my efforts again. I get all excited and make good choices, but then I get lazy and complacent and make not so good choices. While I've gone over my calories only about two or three times in my time here (25 days), I am being lazy on the exercise. I'm a housewife. I have practically NOTHING else to do during the day aside from housework. Why is it that even though I'm flooded with "me" time, that I have a hard time ramping myself up to use it wisely? Hubby and I are getting out there and being more active, which is definitely a good thing. But, the good solid workouts are lacking.0
