    I know I haven't signed on (or weighed in) in awhile...but something odd has been happening over the past couple of weeks and I wanted to share it. I haven't really changed my eating plan or my exercise plan since I started....still trying to eat controlled portions of healthier foods with occasional treats mixed it. ...But my weight is really bouncing back and forth. I lost 3 and some odd pounds ...putting me down to 228.75 ...yeah....and then the next week...I had gained all 3 back.....and then the next week (this week) ...I was back to 229.25.....So I'm kind of at a loss.....I only weigh myself once a week....because if I weigh myself ever day I'll become obessive about numbers.....but is that a mistake?

    I guess I just don't know where I "went wrong" in the past couple of weeks........and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing....

    Hello everyone! This mornings weigh in was 139! Maybe good bye to the 140s? I won't celebrate yet, but did realize it's time to retire a pair of jeans. I really want to start buying new clothes...but the more I dig in my closet, the more (smaller) sizes I keep finding! It's good for my bank account, but I keep wondering how I just kept putting on the weight and really what made me start to care. When people ask, I say I'm loosing weight bc I'm a bridesmaid in my friends wedding. It works they don't seem to inquire more, but to be honest I was just getting bigger and my big girl pants were suddenly too tight. Truthfully I did not want to buy a new wardrobe and it was getting too cold to keep wearing dresses. Also I wondered if I could return to the "normal" BMI range in a healthy way that would stick - well "normal" BMI I'm almost there!

    I was thinking of a new challenge for this week. Let's step up the intensity on our workout my increasing our minutes or speed by 10 percent. So if you usually walk for 30 minutes at 3.0-- walk for 33 minutes at 3.0 OR 30 minutes at 3.3...you don't have to do both. Unless you just want to! If you workout for 180 minutes a week, shoot for 200 minutes, so that's adding a 20 minute walk during lunch or after dinner. Anyone game?

    You guys are all doing great! :)

    When this challenge started, it was 46 days until, April. Today is day 20! We're almost 1/2 way there already!

    Everyone that is still working, but the scale is not showing it, hang in there! I started out losing 10 pounds each of the first 2 months, but then it took me 2 more months to lose just 5 more. But I'm finally losing again!
    Hang in there, your scale will start co-operating again soon!

    My weigh in day is not until Friday, but I stepped on the scale out of curiousity this morning.
    175.6 holy moly!! I'm so happy now. Nothing can take me off this high! So I am going to take this momentum into the week and see what happens by Friday, my actual weigh in day!
