    Thanks Billybed. You're the best. Some day soon I'll show a loss instead of a gain. I may not lose the 50 lbs. but I'll lose a good chunk. I'm bound and determined now :happy:

    So I jumped on the scale this morning just to peek at my weight and I have gained a pound...WTH!!! I have got to do better with working out EVERYDAY! I haven't worked out since Sunday(i know, i know) its terrible! I am really starting to lack motivation! It feels so good to have lost as much as I have but I can not get complacent with what I have lost I need to push, push, push.....but my give a dang seems to be busted right now :(

    You and me both!! :embarassed:

    Love the chart! Thanks for putting that together for us.

    I was 190.6lbs this morning, so in exactly one month, I've lost 37lbs!!!!!
    Also I was 217.2 when I started this challenge (before I had my son, right at the beginning) and so that puts me at 26.6lbs lost of the 50lbs). HALFWAY THERE!!!
    Okay so having the baby helps, but I did gain 35lbs thanks to him. :laugh:

    Wow, look at us. Over 650 lbs gone as a group. Woo Hoo. Well ... although I would rather be running along a beautiful beach ... since I have oodles of cold and snow ... I stayed indoors and played some wii Zumba for over an hour and according to my HRM I burned 573 calories ... not to shabby at all. I'm off to hit the shower now and then a nice low cal low fat fudsicle. I earned it ... mmmmmm. Have a great weekend everyone. Talk again soon.

    I can't believe how many people have lost 3, 4, or 5 pounds plus in one week. I am green with envy.

    I think I've identified the reason for my slow down. I've started eating (nibbling) at night again. I stay under my calories but my body doesn't get a chance to burn it off and I go to bed with my belly full.

    So a new new year resolution - Stop eating after dinner. No food once the clock strikes 7:00 PM. PERIOD!!!!

    So, I watched that television show called village on a Diet. Im not sure if anybody south of the border has seen it. I can tell you this though. Our little village here is doing much better than the village on the t.v. Congrats everybody. Keep up the good work.

    Well I hit ONEderland and 50 lbs lost earlier this week, so I've been working my *kitten* off ever since to keep it going in this downward spiral! :laugh: I went skiing with my niece, 2 nephews and my brother last night. I haven't skied in 10 years because...well you know.....FAT HAPPENS! :laugh: We had a blast & it was the kids first time on skis! They were all doing the black diamond runs by the end of the night WITHOUT FALLING! PROUD AUNT MOMENT!!! :bigsmile:

    Today I joined my friend Bru (here on MFP) to do the Bold in the Cold (Virtual 5K) from facebook. I haven't done a 5k since Oct 30th, but didn't do too bad! I was about 5 min slower than before, but I did walk quite a bit - last time I didn't walk at all! So NOT BAD. Now I'm gonna go do some cleaning & play a bit on the Wii! :smile:

    WEIGH IN: 205.6

    So, I totally lost it over Christmas and went back up to 210 lbs but this morning I got back on the scales and I lost almost all of it again! A little excited... but trying not to think about it too much because then I start down the path of 'Well... I lost weight so I can eat a little more...' which leads to more weight gain. It's always so much easier to gain weight than to lose it....
