Morning everyone!! It is a brand new day yay! My goal today besides staying within my calories, is to drink at least 8 cups of water because I have been falling short this week.0

I am horrible at drinking water during the day too...I will join you!0

Been staying under my calorie limit but I keep gaining weight! It's so frustrating.0

Hi! I'm Lacy. My goal is to lose half of my entire goal weight by the end of summer (30lb) and to lose at least half, but more hopefully 2/3 of that by May 2, when my family is taking me to Disney World for my 27th birthday. When I did an internship with Disney in Florida in Fall 2006, I weighed about 150. Now I'm 183, down from 192. I'd love to be 150 again for the May trip, but I'm shooting for a more realistic 160ish.

Hey guys,
Hope you're all well.
First weigh in of the challenge tomorrow and I'm not optimstic unfortunately. I had a seriously heavy weekend so I've been playing catch up all week. I'll be good from now on I promise.
If any of you would like to add me as a friend so that you can give me a nudge of I fall off the radar it would be helpful.

So confused, when I weighed myself at the gym last week it gave me a totally different reading then when I went to the doctors today...I think I am going to go with the doctors of course, but also am getting my butt out right now to get that digital scale I have been meaning to get <----procrastinator
I have been drinking my water though!!!0 -
I finally broke down and got a digital scale to go by too. It is just so much easier to keep specific track that way. I always weight in at my emptiest - in the morning, after the bathroom but before breakfast. I always go by the specific reading to judge my weight loss.
Lacy, we have the exact same goals, I'm gonna friend you What did you do during your internship ad Disney? That is such a cool place to have an internship. 0 -
OK so I didn't get the scale last night, but I will this weekend I promise, walmart didn't have the one I wanted. So the scaled reading I got yesterday was 259!!!! SCARY!!

Don't get discourged. Just keep at it. Increase the intensity of the workouts, and you'll see it'll come right off. Drink more water, and stay under calories. That seems to be working for me. Just keep going!0 -
Good morning everyone!
So first official weigh in. When I joined the group I logged in at 215lbs. This morning after my weigh in I'm at 209lbs. It feels good to know that my sacrifice is working. I know they first few pounds are the easiest but i'm exited to get to my goal of 175 by the summer.
How you do?
Good luck!0 -
Hello All! My name is Trista I am 26yrs old and I just joined in Jan 2011. I am really wanting to loose around 30-40lbs by the end of Sept/ early October. My reasons #1 to feel good about myself/ look good for my husband, #2 Going to Mexico at the end of Sept #3 My Sister In Law is getting Married early Oct. This website is amazing with great people to help motivate each other. I plan to loose this weight by eating right, walking my new puppy, and doing P90X workout.0

+1 to that!
Also, are you measuring? Last week I was bummed when I was up a couple pounds, but when I measured myself I was actually smaller. I think the time of the month and salt intake were really screwing with my scale reading.0 -
Weighed in this morning and haven't lost but maintained. I am trying to be happy with that since I have steadily been gaining since I quit BF'ing my daughter. :sad:
Have worked out 3 nights this week and will be doing Pilates tonight!! :drinker:
We can do this!!!0 -
Welp, the scale can jump in a lake. I worked out Monday-Friday and the scale says 152.6 as of this morning, but my fresh-out-of-the-dryer jeans falling off of me as soon as i put them on yesterday told me much more.
Hubby got a wild hair last night to try jogging, so I made sure we did intervals so he didn't immediately burn himself out and we managed to go for about half an hour - through our neighborhood, up to the park and back. Wrapped up this week with 45 minutes of yoga...nice mellow workout before i take this weekend to recover.
and can i just say: coconut water is about the best thing ever for soreness. it takes a little getting used to the flavor (and beware, the Goya stuff has chunks, which really caught me off guard) but it really does help; I don't think I could've worked out all five days without it.
so, i'm not liking the scale, but i AM liking the way i'm feeling. looking forward to week three!0 -
I also weigh first thing in the morning, after the bathroom, but before breakfast. Seems if I weigh myself later I am unhappy with the reading. I didn't have time to weigh this morning though because mom stayed over last night. They lost power with the snow storm that tore through here Wednesday night, and therefore had no heat. It was 55 degrees INSIDE their house. Crazy. Hopefully I'll remember tomorrow, and with any luck at all, I'll be at my goal weight for my first fitting which is at 1:30 tomorrow!!!!!!! Yipes!!0

grrrr Weigh in did not go well....I am at 214...up 4 lbs.:blushing: I went on vacation last week, but I did well...Skiing 4 days burning lots of calories plus a 3 mile hike...I did drink less water so I think that might be part of it. Off to refill my water bottle now.
I'm still down 10 lbs. though since January 1st and my pesky monthly visitor is coming up so I'm trying not to sweat it. My initial January goal was to lose 5 lbs...so 10 still kicks but0 -
Hello everyone, I am new to this site as I didn't like the one I was using and this one seems much easier to navigate. I started this journey to health with 22 of my coworkers 3 weeks ago. I have lost 6 lbs so far and want to lose a total of 40 lbs to reach my goal weight of 175 as I am 5'11. I am so proud of the group of ladies as we 11 of us are actually trying to LOSE weight. The others are trying to maintain now or tone. We help each other make healthy choices and the 11 of us trying to lose are excercising together AT WORK at the end of the day 5 days a week. It has been amazing! So motivating and talk about accountability. I am loving every minute of it and love reading all your progress as well.
We are not alone in this quest to health. Let's get off the couch and DO IT!0 -
Week 1 of the challenge and I stayed the same weight. I had a very heavy weekend last weekend with a couple of different social events. I'll do better this week 0

Is it too late to join in? I think this site is great, and the support and motivation you guys all give each other is outstanding
Hopefully, having to admit to people if I've put on weight will push me to make the extra effort to work it off!! I'm only 18, but I want to sort out my eating habits and stuff now to help me live a healthier (and hopefully skinnier!) life in the future. My goal is to lose around 14-21 lbs by my summer holiday with my friends from 6th form. And I'm not sure if there's an "official" weigh-in day, so I'll do mine now. This morning I was 147lbs, but that weight has been sticking around for the past week and a half, so I'm trying to think of ways to kick-start my weight loss again after this sort of plateau.
Thanks, and good luck everybody! 0 -
I weighed in at 204.
5 pounds till my first goal.0 -
