    Only lost 0.2 lbs this week - gained a little back - but it's still progress, so I'll take it!

    Does anyone have any good suggestions for homemade recipes? I have my old favorites that I love to make, but I would like to try something new. This week my goal is to focus on healthy and being under my calories.

    Count me in for the next challenge as well!

    I wish I could be more active, but I will be laying low for quite awhile. Procedure took 15min once the gas knocked me out. Best sleep I've had in a month!! I have my meds now and I'm home. Now, on the road to recovery. This is gonna be a long week as my Godmothers Grandma passed away on Saturday, the wake is tomorrow.. Hope you all are having a MUCH better week than I.

    My weight as of last Friday 302.2 lbs. 1.6 lbs away to have lost 50. I had a terrible weekend with food. I was craving for salty food all weekend long. Nothing was satisfying my cravings... I was really bad. Today is a new day!

    April I love your though of the week and the graphic also.

    I won't have much time to exercise this week since I'm leaving Thursday night for my daughter's hockey tournament. The good part of it is that I will be staying at my cousin's house so I won't need to eat out in restaurant all the time but won't have time to exercise much. Oh well I'll do what I can and we will see what happens.


    Have a great week everyone. I can wait till spring is here. The temperature is not going up at all. It's not as bad as in January when it was minus 46 but it stays in the minus 25 and 30... I can't wait to go for a walk outside. Getting sick of the treadmill.:sick:

    Bru, as I said in the other thread, keep your head up! We're here for you! :-D

    I will weigh in tonight. I don't think I ever updated the chart from last week though.

The sun has been out a little.... so I hope that brightens myspirits! I am going on the treadmill today...that is my goal!

    Have a wonderful week everyone! Congrats to those who are celebrating a loss!

    I weighed myself on Friday morning just before we went away for a long weekend. If I lose anything this week I will be amazed, a maintain will be fine:smile:
    Got home at lunch time and managed to get on the tea time spin class at the gym tonight, now have a mountain of laundry to sort out plus loads more.
    3 days off mfp, and I start tracking again tomorrow.
    Good luck to everyone, I will try to catch up with everyone's news over the next few days.

    See? I can keep track....Sometimes :) LOL

    Bru - hope you feel better soon....I had dental surgery not long ago and it's not fun in the least :(
    April - I kinda like the spring one (Spring Slimmer, I think)....but they're all good


    Congrats to all that have lost and congrats to all that have maintained over the course of the challenge. Did anyone else find January/February to be almost as difficult as December was in terms of actually losing weight?

    Seems like I lost a weigh in somewhere....oh well. My weigh in this morning was 235.2 (which is 0.3lbs down from my last one - putting me at 6.6lbs lost since the beginning of the challenge. I WILL close out at over 7lbs lost for this challenge!!!

    Starting weight for the challenge: 237.4
    Goal weight: 229

    I am not weighing myself this week. Had Hubs hide the scale Monday morning after a bad weekend. I need to focus, and the daily numbers were getting to me. He'll give it back Sunday I think, so until then it's just work and commitment!

    I started a new workout today. Jillian's 30DS. It's HARD!
    I've also re-started water watch. I am horrible about water, I always have been. I've been really good the last 4 days though, and am continuing that trend the rest of the week.

    It's a blizzardy kind of day today. Going to work (I guess, LOL!) and hang out with the girls and worry about Hubs out on the roads. Then later I get to go out in it (it should be done snowing, at least, by then) and re-stock my kitchen! I am out of everything, I have NO idea how I'm going to eat healthfully today. Here's hoping.

    jsecret - *bow* you're a freakin' rock star! Congrats on surpassing the challenge!!

    bjshooter, keep that positivity going!

    violet_810 - you're only three pounds away from your goal! That's great. One of my go-to places for recipes is (don't hate me/scold me) the Campbell's website. One of our favorite recipes is chicken rice with cream of mushroom soup. It is seriously the easiest thing to make. You put all of the recipes in a casserole dish, pop that sucker in the oven, and then in about 40 mins you've got a really satisfying comfort food dinner.

    Bru, I'm sorry you guys keep getting hit with unhappy things. :( Glad you got great sleep while in the dentist's chair, though! I do love happy gas. :laugh:

    Chantal, wow! Almost at a 50 pound loss...that is fantastic news. Have fun with the hockey tournament!

    nursee, a maintain is better than a gain! How was the treadmill?

    casey_when_u_go, WTG on the loss and for being so close to the goal!

    fitterpam - I'm TOTALLY finding Jan/Feb to be harder than December. I've completely plateaued since Christmas and haven't seen the scale go down one bit. Inches are getting smaller, but still, oy! But look at you - you're a sneeze away from hitting the 7lb challenge. Go you!

    ashley0616, congrats on getting back on the water wagon. And good for you for starting 30DS. Everyone seems to love that program. You'll find a happy medium with checking yourself on the scale.

    ceelovejay - YAY!!

    April - congrats on the loss! That's great. You'll get away from the soda again. Maybe just really tell yourself you're not allowed to have it. Like, it isn't even an option. Just have a water bottle with you always.

    emilysebastian, thanks for the website! I'd never heard of it and both of those dishes you mentioned sound really great.



    As for me, I'm feeling good but don't know what the scale holds for me tomorrow. Went and hit the track tonight and got in 2.93 miles in 46 minutes. I was doing a run/walk with a friend and she walked while I ran, but we ended up talking while briskly walking. It was really great being back out there. I feel like a wimp complaining about this, but at 49 degrees it was cold out there! Not used to that.

    Thanks a bunch for the challenge!! Just wanna say that the graphics at the beginning of each week are awesome! Great idea to post the chart in Google charts.

    Bru- glad yer done with the surgery and here’s hoping you have a quick and full recovery. Love the laughing gas too, but hate the drooling while yer waiting for the freezing to wear off. I also had a hard time motivating myself, but I started hot yoga and I think I’m addicted. I’m hoping to start my C25K again when the weather warms up. Single digits would be great, Just hoping for out of the negatives lol (Canada).
    April Val-congratz on the loss and hope all goes well for you soon.
    Jsecret- yer a machine girl, great job on your success.!! You must be very proud!!
    Pink-congratz on the loss and I love yer new pic!! I’m really trying to get back into running again, buts its hard to motivate myself.
    Fitterpam-yer so close!! You’ll do it I’m sure. Congratz on your success, great job on the hard work.
    Chantal yer disappearing holy moly you killed it!! Great job!
    Violet – loss is a loss congratz!! I’m a vegetarian, if you would like some veggie recipies, I would be happy to post!!
    Ceelove- hope yer gonna reward yourself for your great success!! I see new spring shoes in the mix. Great job!!
    Nurse- keep it up, youll get there before you know it.

    Thank you all for letting me be a part of it. Count me in for the next one, but I don’t have any ideas what to call it. Lol!! It’s been really fun to check in and hear from you all.

    Have a great last week everyone!! If I have missed anyone, I’m sorry, but I’m cheering you on to do great!!
