    Hi, hope its not too late to join in. Monday is my weigh in day.
    My name is Melisa (Mel) 45 years old
    I am in Australia - 2009 I was at my fittest ever weighing in at 154 pound - when on a 105 mile bike training session for a triathlon my training partner and I where hit by a car. We are both lucky to be alive but it did leave me with serious injury and out for 12 months and thats when I put the weight back on.
    I joined about 3 weeks ago I started my hard training again January 10, 2011 and I was 191.84 pounds.
    February 7,2011 I was 183.84.
    My short goal is to be 170 pound by the end of February things are looking good at the moment so hope I can stay on track.

    Ok, did my weigh in tonight. 242.8, not bad. I haven't been on this in awile so I don't know how much I've lost since last week. My goals this week are at least 8 glasses of water a day, sticking to my calories and hopefully 4 lbs. Lost by next week. My monthly friend should be stopping by this week so hopefully that won't throw me off too much!! Hope everyone has a great week. Keys chat throughout the week!! I need to talk to keep myself motivated!!!!

    I'll join in, even though my weigh in day is Saturday morning. Loss for this past week was 5.8 lbs, which I 'm not really sure how I did that while on a business trip. I tried to watch every bite I ate, and hit the lousy hotel gym. I was sooooo glad to get home and go to my "real" gym. I was rather surprised that I lost this much.... I credit the massive amounts of broccoli that I was chowing down on.

    And my latest discovery.... take the cab to the grocery store and get yogurt and fav cereal for breakfasts. It was SO nice having some sence of normalcy at breakfast, especially since business dinner meetings sometimes went til 10 pm. The worst part was actually travelling and trying to maintain my healthy eating plan on a 7 hr (with connections) plane trip.

    Goal for this coming week, a reasonable 3 lbs. I think I can, I think I can......

    Hey! So this weigh in is a day late, but I totally forgot to post on here!

    I didn't lose or gain any weight but I must say that I am on day two of vegan week and have been feeling pretty amazing!

    About Me:
    I am a 23 year old college student, and I am going to graduate in the summer. I recently broke up my fiancée and decided it is time to purge myself of all negativity that was a result of that relationship, including the pounds that I have packed on over the past 5 years. I am really excited about this Monday weigh in group and I think we can all succeed and meet our goals if we just help each other and offer positive support!

    I'm Jen :) I'm 20 and from Falkirk in Central Scotland. I'm currently living in Dundee to study at University though and have been for the last 3 years. I play jazz flute - www.youtube.com/fluffytattie :) I love playing gigs and have played in several bands. I also used to play ceilidh music but I had to give that up when I left school.

    My weight has never really been an issue... when I started high school I was quite big, and bullied, but surprisingly not really because of my weight so I never bothered about it. By about 16 I was a skinny ***** hahaha and stayed that way until about 18/19 - I must admit that it's most likely the student lifestyle (booze and lots of it, bad sleeping patterns, lack of exercise and not exactly the most nutrional meals) that have caused me to gain weight. Some mornings I will look at myself in the mirror and think "you actually look quite good, just go and enjoy yourself!" but most days it is the opposite. I have grown out of most of my clothes and everything that still fits me, my mum has told me that I'm too big to wear it. It's a huge confidence hit. So this, and my summer holiday with friends, is my boost to lose some weight. I also used to be snap-happy on nights out - now I rarely take my camera out because I can't stand the way I look in the photos.

    I would love to join. My normally weigh in in Monday mornings, so this will fit right in.

    A little about me:
    My name is Leah; I'm 24 from Madison, WI. College really did a number on my body, and I'm not trying to fix that. I was around 115-120 in High School, and I would love to get back down to that weight. I was on MFP around this time last year and did really well; I got down to about 128. Then slipped up and gained everything back plus some. I started again Jan 10th, and have been losing ever since.

    CW: 137
    GW: 116 (I only want to get back down to this b/c my boyfriend said if i hit this weight he would get his 6pack back :love: But I would like to maintain 120)

    I weigh in on Mondays in the morning when I get to work. That way I can use the same scale. I also have access to a gym here at work and am given time to exercise (if I want to take it :) ) I will do a Monday weigh in group with you.

    Last week 157.2
    This week 155.2

    Very happy with a 2lb loss. My overall aim is 1/2lb a week. Been quite intense in exercise and was generally busy so the larger loss does not surprise me.

    Last week: 182.2 lbs
    This week: 182.9 lbs

    I was away this weekend - i now realize that if there's no computer handy to see where my calories are at on MFP that I should still be writing it down the good old fashioned way!

    Still 182 and pumped to get it to 180 by next Monday! Good luck everyone!!!

    Hello everyone!!!

    This week was a 1.5 loss....I was really hoping for more....but I understand where the small loss is coming from. I ate out 3 times this week (and although tried to stay good, I know I most likely went over on calories), and only hit the gym 4 times as apposed to my normal 6.

    So, it looks something like this:

    Starting Weight: 327
    Last Week: 311.5
    Current Weight: 310
    1st mini goal: 299 by 3/14 ("under 300 by St. Patty's Day!")
    2nd mini goal: 270 by 5/30
    Ultimate goal: 175

    Can't wait to hear everyone else's weekly check ins!

    -Rachel

    Hi everyone! So I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Melanie and I am a licensed social worker with a Chippewa tribe in NW MN. I screen children for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, and I am a stress and boredom eater. I have two beautiful girls who are 14 months old and almost six, and I lost weight both times I was pregnant because I ate better and walked, so I know that if I paid attention even a little I can do it. I didn't have a problem with weight in high school, but did in college when I was living with an overweight roommate. Then, a year into my marriage, I gained 50 pounds when I was on pain meds after a car accident. I haven't been able to get rid of them. I hate water and exercise, but have found that Crystal LIght To Go packets are a life saver and the other women in my department (all three of them!) are working out with me, so it has become a team effort. I want to do this for me, and I haven't wanted something for myself for a long time! I am still working on figuring out little goals, but I sure am enjoying seeing the scale go down! LOL :happy: See you next week!

    Great,

    Hey everyone my names Jeananne and I weigh in on a monday morning.

    Im 24 and I work for an IT company - so I sit on my bum all day. I have always had jobs where I have been on my feet until now. I have always been overweight but wasnt too bad at the end of high school when I was dancing 5-7 days a week - however when I came to uni (2004) I stopped all excercise and weight has gone up and up. Now that im in this job i am eating through boredom!! I want to snack all the time. I gave up smoking on xmas eve also. I knew I was gonna want to snack even more at my desk so I made sure it was good things (carrots, rice cakes and peas). I am rubbish at my glasses of water per day but Im really trying to change that. I am also trying to excercise a lot more!!! When I started on here 07/02/11 (UK) I was at the heaviest I have ever been - even I was shocked at my weight! So lets hope I have had the kick up the bum I have needed!!

    Good luck to you all - We can do it!!!! xxxx
