New Year Challenge!

Congrats to you, Bru! :bigsmile: So happy for you to finally reach ONEderland! You are amazing! :flowerforyou:

I peeked at the scale this morning & I have finally reached the exact weight I was at the day I left for my cruise! 206.6 lbs :bigsmile:
So now I can finally start "losing" again! :drinker: :bigsmile: :drinker:

Come on ONEderland for ME! I'm trying to get there by the 15th....so gotta kick some boo-tay between now & then!

Good afternoon everyone and TGIF! Today is a very special day as it marks my 1 year MFP annivesary. I can not believe it's been a whole year since I embarked on this journey. I am very proud of all that I have accomplished this year and want to thank you all for playing a very special role in it.

Congrats on your ONE YEAR with MFP, Chocolickkyss! That is FABULOUS! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: You are truly dedicated to yourself, as we all should be! :drinker:

Good afternoon everyone! Today I headed to my local gym and completed 35 minutes on the elliptical and then took a 50 minute kickboxing class. Tonight is one of two ladies night out events. My friends and I are heading to the movies to check out Tyler Perry's new movie "For Colored Girls" and then we'll head to a nearby restaurant for dinner, drinks and discussion.


Thank for all the support ladies, it's truly appreciated.

Good morning everyone! Yesterday's evening out with the ladies was great. The movie was very, very, emotional and deep but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The powerhouse of actresses was just unbelievable and they all did an excellent job. In my opinion, Tyler did an excellent job w/trying to stay as true to the play as possible. After the movies we headed to the restaurant for dinner, drinks and discussion but unfortunately that did not last long because everyone else had the same idea and it was a 2 hour wait. I chatted with the ladies a little bit but decided I was not going to eat that late at night. We arrived at the restaurant a little after 10 PM so waiting until midnight was not an option. After chatting with the ladies a little bit I decided to head home but because I was hungry I stopped by McDonald's and purchased a yogurt parfait and made some whole wheat toast. It satisfied me so I did not go to bed hungry. Also, instead of purchasing popcorn at the movies (please keep in my I ABSOLUTELY LOVE movie theater popcorn) I snuck in some apple slices. Overall I'm very happy with my choices yesterday.

I'm hoping I can make similar choices today. A different group of ladies are heading to a play this afternoon and we might have dinner afterwards. Since dinner is not definite I have no clue what my restaurant options are and am unable to check out the menu prior to arriving.

Anyway, today is my designated rest day so I decided to keep it light. I completed 16 minutes of the Fast Fat Burn dvd and 16 minutes of the Fast Abs dvd from the Kettleworx series.

Good morning everyone! Today I completed the Push Circuit 3 dvd from the Chalean Extreme program and the Core-week3 dvd from the Kettleworx series. My legs and back are very sore from last week's workout. I plan to push through the soreness even though I have to admit I procrastinated with today's workout. I really did not feel like working out today but managed to get up and push play on the dvd.



Havfaith: You are doing absolutely awesome. It looks like you will surpass your goal if you continue losing at this rate. Great job!

Bru...I know this is such a difficult time for all of you. We are thinking about you and your family and sending lots of love. Hang in there sweet girl!!

Sorry guys, it's been a tough few weeks, but I'm back! Just finished our Respiratory block and am now to Heme and Lymph! Woohoo! 6 weeks till Christmas break and I get to see my family... they haven't seen me since I was 195, so this should be fun! ; )

Don't know if I'll make it down to 140. Not worried if I don't. I can say that I have had a lot of excess skin with the rapid loss back at the beginning of the year that has regained some of it's elasticity, so I don't really mind seeing huge drops right now b/c I kind of want things to tighten up too.

I'm still trying to reach ONEderland by Monday....I've been trying to do some extra workouts this week, but I'm not really doing so great. I had a few beers twice this week, but oh that Pumpkin Ale is OHHHH so good! :drinker: I'm hoping to at least get a few pounds off this week. I KNOW I CAN DO IT! Come on, Kelly!

I'm actually surprised that the scale went down, after the horrible 3 weeks I've had, I thought for sure I'd be up this morning. Anyway, I hope you all have a better weekend than I will be having. Watching Nick tell his Grandpa goodbye will be hard. Hug your family extra tight everyday. Bru

Good afternoon everyone! I had a fun-filled weekend and I'm really looking forward to chilling out and watching some football today. I got up early this morning and got my workout in. I completed 2 miles of the Leslie Sansone Fat Burning Walk dvd. Once the workout was complete, I got dressed and headed to the grocery store. Now that all my errands have been completed I don't have to leave the house for the rest of the day.

I'm getting really disgusted! I have had a few days that weren't all that good but nothing major and I feel like I am still on this flippin' plateau! MFP changed my cals when I reached 213 and I am wondering if that had something to do with the last 3 weeks. Just kicked TOM to the curb so I really don't know. AHHHHHH!!!!
