Lost 3.2 in the last two weeks. Remember, I was sick last week and didn't weigh-in. I'm also happy to report I had to overdry two shirts last week in order to make them fit and today I'm wearing a pair of pants for the last time because they are TOO big!!! *HAPPY DANCE*

Ooook, back to Wednesday Check-in's for me. This morning I weighed in at 281.6 for a total loss of 47.8. I'm getting really close to 50. Hoping I'll hit in in the next week or so.

My goals for this week are simple:

Get back in the habit of logging everything that crosses my lips.

Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

I'm going to wait until I'm feeling a little better before setting any workout goals and just take it day by day. Hopefully I'll be back to feeling normal soon.

What are your goals for this next week?

Alana! That is sooooo awesome that you hit the 200's!!!! I'm so excited for you! Great job!

Happy weekend everyone.

Shannon, welcome back good to hear you are feeling better. You'll make that big 50 soon enough.
Carrieann, Great job, congrats on shrinking out of your clothes, lol.
Alana, Congrats on getting to the 200's and meeting your goals. I think loss goes faster at first because of the water weight, then slows down as we get to mostly fat loss, so it's slower, but better loss.
Wonderwoman, you have been doing awesome this week. Be proud of yourself rather than frustrated, 3.2 lbs is a great loss for one week, weight takes time to go on and to come off.


Now for my results:
1. Water Water Water, again at least 6 cups a day, hopefully 8. Failed, although I tried.
2. Exercise at least 3 times. Failed, only one workout.
3. Think of one inspiration to get the weight off each day. I did do this.
Saturday - I'm doing this for my boys, to be around longer and able to do things with them.
Sunday - So I don't jiggle like jello chasing after my my guys.
Monday - I'm doing this so that I don't feel so tired all of the time.
Tuesday -
Wednesday - I'm doing this to fit into my cute clothes again.
Thursday - I'm doing this to improve my self view.
Friday - I'm doing this to fit into seats more comfortably.

I was 303 on Friday which means I'm down 2 lbs from last week
(I'm thrilled considering the way my week went, I normally would have stress eaten my way up a few lbs.)

The upcoming week's goals:
Not meeting my own goals is making me a bit sad, so this week is simpler still.
Just to do better making time for good food and exercise.


See y'all next week flowerforyou

Ok, so I was the same weight this week. I did get down to 281 last Thursday but I was back up to 281.6 today. Still thinking I could see 50 lbs (279.4) any day now.

I've been logging every day and drinking my water every day so we are back in the habit.

This week my goal is to keep going on the logging and water and get back into working out. I'm finally starting to feel back to normal so before next Wednesday so I want to work out at least once, maybe twice.

Yay, it's Saturday. Time for a new start.

Alana & Shannon, good for both you not gaining. Water is a hard one to get in on a regular schedule.
Wonderwoman, great NSV's as I keep saying, you are doing great, keep up the trend.

I was 303 on Friday which means no change (I was 301 on one day, but apparently back up the next). I have been grabbing those little snacks & greasy chips while I'm cooking the real food. Bad habit I need to re-break.

The upcoming week's goals:
Avoid Greasy snacks (only popped or baked snacks).
Drink water (that appears to be a big one for all of us).

See y'all next week :ohwell: may it be a great one for everyone.

dbeaut I did a Pre-Couch to 5k to get started and it really helped...Week 1 was 15 sec and 2:15 walk for 20, Week 2 was 30 Sec to 1:30 walk and Week 3 was 45 Sec Jog to 1:45 walk. It helped me a lot. I haven't ran in about a month but I was up to week 2 after doing the 3 weeks Pre C25k. I'm finally ready to get back to it so we'll see if I'm still on week 2...

@shannonin - pre-C25K might have been a good idea. Oh well. I'm into it now. And! And! Today I JOGGED THE WHOLE NINETY SECONDS! TWICE!!!!! I had this stupid big grin on my face when the timer went off and I was still going.

@alanna - Hellooooo! I have the problem of overfeeding people too. Like last night. I made three nice moderate portions for myself (one for that night, two for work lunches) and ALL the food for my wife. Ooops.

I don't have a ton of free time during the week for something like 30 day shred - that's like a video workout series things like P90X, right? I'm doing C25K because I can do it on my lunchbreak at work. Will not go tomorrow, give my body a little break.

Ok, still haven't seen the 50 lb mark, I was down to 281 (48.4lbs) this morning after a sodium filled weekend. I've been good on my water and better at logging, I was sick a few days so I wasn't logging those days and now hubby is sick so haven't gotten in the work out, been taking care of him. So my goal this week is to work out again.

I did it! I hit 50 lbs! Thanks for all your support ladies it means the world to me and I seriously couldn't have done it without you. On to the next 50!

I'm a day late and a dollar short. Yesterday wasn't my day. But, I'm here, so lets get started,

Dbeaut, great to see you here. Those are some great challenges, lol, I know I see my extra calories and have to remind myself they are not for fried chips and cheeseburgers all the time. I agree with Shannon, start your workouts slow and build your way into them. If you feel like you are going to die, you might be less motivated to continue, if you enjoy yourself and feel a bit of burn, that's a good workout. Sounds like it got better though. I love the stupid grin, I get so few of them lately.
Alana, you've been doing great. Congrats on the loss this week. Birthday's I've made up so many excuses now not to eat a huge slice of cake and a cup of ice cream like my family dishes out every time... my tooth is sore, I have a loose filling, I just ate, oh look the baby wants it... lmao, last birthday party my 1 year old dumped my plate on the floor, whoops, but it saved me a ton of calories. Next party if you do make a lot, try to make something you can freeze after, then thaw it in small portions when you want it.
Shannon, you hit 50 down YAY congrats to you, you've worked hard for it and as it should be the hard work is paying off.
Meadow, welcome back glad the surgeries are over for you.

As for me...

I was 298.5 on Friday which means I'm down 4.5 lbs from last week's 303.
YAY I made it to Twondlerland?

Gonna keep up doing more exercise, less junk food more water

I found my measuring tape... And here's the fun part!!! Since I started (108 days ago), I have lost 1 inch from my neck, 7 inches from my waist, and 6 inches from my hips!!!! No wonder my old pants don't fit!!!

Hooray on twoderland which definitely needs a better name....deuceville? twinning? Feels so good when you reach a new first number on the scale...or a new second # for that matter!

I was thinking about this the other day. Deuceville sounds awful though. Hmmm . . . SNAKE-EYES nope don't think so.

I am down another amazing 5lbs! I gotta slow down at some point, this has to be just water weight. But then yesterday I had a *kitten* stressful day at work so I ate pizza after dinner and felt awful. Today is much better though. As I was eating it I was going "this isn't even tasty, why am I doing this . . ." and just felt ill.

On the downside, it is now too cold to go jogging on my lunchbreaks (damn you, Canada). Guess it's down to the treadmill I go.

NSV: I was shopping yesterday and my shoe came untied. This is usually bad because I need to sit down and put my foot up and tie them... But yesterday, I bent over and tied my shoe. I haven't done that in years....
