I should be able to post a modest loss tomorrow. I've been a bit laid back on the intake as well as exercise. We'll see tomorrow morning.

I posted a great loss finally. 2.8 pounds this week after a stall on my losses for a couple of weeks due to a death in my immediate family. I have started back with my exercise this week and am feeling like I am fully back in the game again. Hopefully, your week is going well and you have pushed yourself to meet some goals and are seeing the results you were hoping for. Hang in there!!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. Take good care.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Well I had a heck of a loss this week (-4.5), in fact, it's the biggest loss in a week I've had. I think I overreacted to my binge last week and really was eating too little (<1200), I'm also not sure if this is a bit of dehydration as well. Since I have a couple birthday cakes to work on this week I suspect I'll have a bounce. I'll be happy at least today. I've been working harder at weights the last few months so with the weight I've lost in that time I'm starting to see more definition in the muscle area, my boys are telling me I'm getting abs (NSV)! I remain skeptical.:huh:

Based on Shmu's brilliant spreadsheet, we are nearly 39% of the way to Independence. Let's all make May a big success one week at a time. The results coming in so far are pretty typical, like any endurance event, it's all about keeping a steady pace--one pound at a time.

I'm really enjoying reading the posts on our group's page--we have some great members that share their stories and support others. I invite those that have not posted to weigh-in (get it?) on the threads, your story helps others and the act of telling it helps you.

Happy Mothers Day

Mule

As I expected, I managed a small loss of 1 pound. I guess I can't complain after the loss I had last week.

Congrats to Mule for leading the pack!

I am down almost another pound. I suspect I will gain that back after this weekend.

I'm down not quite a half of a pound, I'll take it!

I want today's numbers to be the same on Monday - I know we are being taken out at least twice this week-end for Mother's Day. But, I will make good choices!!

Me too! I'm having a Mother's Day lunch with my kids and a huge Italian dinner at my mom's for all of the Mother's in the family and I'm already having panic attacks! LOL Time to pull out the extra willpower!!!

I plead the fifth this week :happy:


Teacher appreciation week was well celebrated in my daycare and well I really did forget to step on the scale this morning...(something I rarely forget to do).....oh well I will post my weight soon but i probably won't be happy with it or myself....:embarassed:

So sorry for your loss!

I am still sitting at the same weight but I'm not too worried. I've been definitely eating in a deficit but I have been weight training, so I just need to be patient and let my body do what it needs to do.

Start: 187
April 11: 185
April 18: 184
April 25: 183
April's Loss: 4lbs.

May 2: 181
May 9: 178I

I've been really sticking to my meal plan and it's paying off. I'm feeling good and the weight is coming off. My workouts are becoming more effective.
