    Hi everyone!

    As of this morning, I weighed 160lbs... that means 3 pounds gone this week!!!! yuiiippe.... i know, don't get too excited.. it's probably water weight. I just started 2 days before we started this competition.. (I didn't get to do measurements this morning and I'm at school right now)

    Anyways... week two here we go!!! My goal is to have another 3 pound week... I want to try and get in a 2 hour gym workout each day!!! Yikes(I only missed one day this week.)...and stay within my calories ... and I WILL NOT get sucked into my sister's candy eating habits. (She's smaller than me, but she's ALWAYS eating candy and has some when I see her... not good for me.)

    OK WE CAN DO THIS!!!! I'm excited :)

    hi everyone,
    I'm a little late for this week but was away on vacation. I lost one pound over our family holiday, I had wanted more (the story of my life :) but am happy not to have gained. So far a total of 9 pounds lost (down to 218.2).

    My goal for next Monday is to be down an additional 2 lbs - that would get me back on track for my goals.

    Hope everyone is staying on track!

    Hi everyone! I hope someone comes to post with me later today so we can celebrate our hard work together :)

    I'm down 2 lbs this week!!! I'm at 158... a total of 5 pounds since we started :)

    Starting weight: 163
    Week 1: 160
    Week 2: 158

    My goals for this week:
    1) to lose another 2 pounds.
    2) to do better recording my calories this week...
    I know I'm going to start hitting the point where I won't be losing as fast so I need to make sure I stay on top of this.. and stay positive!!

    I hope everyone else is doing well.. i can't wait to hear from you.., and don't forget we're here for support too :)

    HI~!! I lost one pound this week bringing me down to 162 so it was a slower week, but still a loss

    My goal is to lose 2 pounds this next week, and
    to figure out how to control my sweet tooth ....

    I was actually surprised I lost weight b/c usually at this time of the month(ahem)
    I don't usually lose, I only gain, so that was good:smile:

    Hmmm...my scale showed that I didn't lose anything this week but I know EXACTLY why. On Friday it'd shown I'd lost two pounds (I HATE weighing in after a weekend!) but I went to a wedding on Saturday and, well, let's just say that I had to nurse a pretty nasty hangover on Sunday. Nursing hangovers requires bad foods and tons of water. I'm guessing part of my problem is from the wine and bad food consumption (I didn't over eat at the wedding, though, and even avoided the cake!!!), and from all the water I drank yesterday to re-hydrate myself. I'm hoping for better success next Monday.

    petunia and kristie....

    I'm sorry about this morning... we are starting a new week and both of you are probably right, the weight is probably from water...

    last week I went to eat sushi with my auntie and sister... and the next morning i was 3 pounds heavier... i was sooooooo upset... it took me three days to get it back down ...so I know how you're feeling.. just keep at it!!!

    Hi everyone - I'm a firm believer that as long as we keep at it . . it will eventually come off - even if it takes longer than I want :)

    I only lost one pound this past week - my goal had been two, but I guess that's better than nothing. The frustrating part is that I worked out a lot, especially yesterday, and was feeling like I would reach my goal.

    Congratulations funo145 on your loss! You had a stressful weekend and still came out ahead - way to go!

    Way to go everyone else for your successes - or just being honest with your progress - it would be way too easy to not report and go back to old ways (that in itself is a success!).

    My goal for next week is two more pounds down . . .

    Hi everyone!
    Another monday and another check-in.

    I, unfortunately, lost nothing this week - however I'm not that disappointed/discouraged because I was able to wear a pair of pants on the weekend that I haven't worn in a looooong time and it's a certain time of the month (which typically means I gain weight, and the fact that the scale hasn't moved is encouraging!).

    How's everyone else doing this Monday morning?

    I lost two pounds this week, it was actually easy b/c my husband was out of town, so I had more time to work out, and I didn't eat badly at all this weekend soooo...2 more...wooohoo hopefully I'll be seeing you guys next week in the 150's

    weight 160

    well... I guess things are OK on my front... the 2 pounds that were around last week (water weight) were gone within a day or so... and I'm 'maintaining' - nothing lost in about 2 weeks though.. :mad:

    not going to get frustrated.. just happy that the scale didn't go the other way...

    my clothes are really feeling different, etc.. so I'm telling myself that I'll see the scale DO WHAT IT'S TOLD soon..

    bad scale... :grumble:

    Hey everyone,

    Just tought I'd check in a few days late. I was in Lake Tahoe for a bachelorette party for a couple of days.... which means... lots of food and lots of drinks. I didn't do toooo horrible on the food part... just a little horrible..hahaha... but the alcohol I'm sure killed me. AND I haven't been able to go to the gym at all since I left..

    My goal between today and monday is simple.. get back on track... go back to the gym daily, and start eating right. As of this morning, I weighed myself and I'm up one pound (probably from all that partying I did) so one pound for all the memories isn't bad to me at all. My goal for monday is to get rid of this one pound I gained.. and one more if possible but i only have a few days... :)

    I'm glad to hear everyone had a good check in this monday... :) and I know you are all doing better than me right now... so I better get going so I can get back into the game...

    (Thanks for being a place to check in and encouragement... Would anyone be interested in keeping this going longer than just this month????)

    Hi guys.
    I would like to join your little group.
    I have 20-25 lbs that I would like to loose. I lost 18 lbs through a challenge on Baby center.com. I did really well for like two months and then I fell off the wagon. I gained back 7.5 lbs during my hiatus. I have climbed back on the wagon this week and I am feeling better about things, but I know that I need the motivation of a challenge.

    Hi and welcome... sorry none of us have responded until now... we usually check-in on Mondays... good luck to you and welcome back to the wagon (I'm strapping myself on this time so hopefully I won't fall off.. :laugh: )

    I'm in this for the long haul, so I'm game to keep going... good luck on your goals of getting back on track and hopefully the scale will be kind to you on Monday (I'm hoping my little plateau will be BROKEN by then :grumble: )

    Bad Scale... Bad..

    I'd like to continue to! I was hoping Monday wouldn't be the last!!!

    As for the wagon, I have myself locked on with a thick chain . . . :) Welcome genabena74!

    FYI we're at the end of our first month's challenge (final check-in on Monday). The awards ceremony will follow :) . . :drinker:

    It looks like we'll start up again - perhaps for another month-long challenge?!?!

    I'm hopeful for the next month as I was on vacation for three of the past four weeks:sad: The vacation was great - but not the weight loss! (Look at that, the excuses are starting already!)

    Happy Monday morning :smile:

    My results for the past month are okay - I've lost 3 lbs and pretty much an inch in every measurement.

    I'm looking forward to the next month as our home routine is getting somewhat back to normal.

    My goal is to lose an additional 8lbs in the next 4 weeks (2lbs per week).

    How did everyone else do?

    OK... here it is...

    The good news is that I FINALLY BROKE THE PLATEAU I WAS ON and dropped another pound..

    so, that brings me to a total of 4 pounds lost... :drinker:
    right on target, a pound a week is my goal (would love it to be more, but beggars can't be choosers)...

    I didn't record measurements until a few weeks ago, so I'll have to see next month how it goes...

    We do have vacation coming up in September, so that's extra incentive to do well in the next few weeks..

    Thanks everyone! Good Luck for next month! :bigsmile:

    I started this a month ago at 163 and I am now at 158 = I lost 5 pounds. :)

    WOW... this final weigh in makes me happy. I was 158 2 weeks ago, but then I went to a bachelorette party in tahoe for a few days, came back at 159, and today went back to 158. So, I feel like I haven't really lost much, but to say i'm down 5lbs, makes me feel awesome.

    I'm so glad you are all in to keep this going...

    Congrats on being losers this month everyone!!!!!:drinker:
    And once again, thanks for all the support!!!:flowerforyou:

    Ok my goal is 8 lbs this next month. (2 lbs a week..) This is going to be a challenge as I go back to teaching my second graders next week... Best of luck everyone!
