    Tina I'm still waiting to hear how your experience went! :flowerforyou:

    I did it! I got into the 30's on my 5k!! 38:14! 6 minutes fastest than last time in Sept. Woot woot!! Had a great day! We even got to go fishing too :) Didn't catch anything, but enjoyed my time with Nick. :love: Now it's time to relax and watch as few movies.

    So far so good this month! Down 2.3 lbs this week! Almost at my goal for Easter... maybe next week?! March is turning out to be a better month for me so far than February!

    good ladies on the 5 K. I'm proud of you all.
    I went swimming for an hour yesterday after being out of the water for so long. It felt great. Phyljen

    Results from the 5k are in. My official time was 38:34 (which I still saw 38:14 when I crossed the line, but so be it) which I'm still beyond stoked that I did that much! And out of 209 people, I placed 115th :) Now to increase my speed a little more. I broke into the 30s, now I wanna hit 35. I got this!

    Hey gang. Not much of a loss last week but I've still met my March goal. Hopeing putting new batteries in my scales had something to do with the low number because I upped my workouts 4 out of 5 days this week.

    March 1 - 181.6
    March 7 - 177.2
    March 14 - 175.8
    March 21 - 175.6

    Ugh! It's Monday and time to get to work. Have a wonderful week everyone. :flowerforyou:

    March 1~ 163.8
    March 7th ~ 162
    March 14th ~ 160.8
    March 21~ 160.2

    Not a change really..with TOM and a bad eating weekend, I expected as much. I did start Insanity last week though so I'm hopefully that now the weekend of too many adventures out with restaurant stops will show a much better scale change!!

    Congrats to everyone on their 5ks. I'm hoping to start training for one this year but I want to get down a bit, weight-wise, first.

    I ended up caving and having a cheeseburger and a handful of fries from Five Guys yesterday. Getting ready for my TOM and I was craving a cheeseburger SO BAD. But back on track today - one meal does not kill a diet and I'm still really proud of the progress I've made.

    Weigh in for me isn't until Thursday, so I'm not too worried about one bad meal. ;)

    Mar 1: 178
    Mar 7: 180
    Mar 14: 178.5
    Mar 21: 179 (TOM)
    Mar 28: [Goal: 173 lbs]

    Had a good week, although I gained a bit due to TOM I did alot better than last month when I gained 8 lbs..
    Hopefully by the end of the month I'll be close to my target

    WOWZA! Looks like everyone is doing well on their journeys this week! :bigsmile:

    Amanda - how are you doing without that scale? I did great all weekend & didn't step on it! I'm really hoping I can make it all the way to Easter (since my peek on Fri). When I called my dad & told him I was a sinner - his response of course was "I know" :laugh: But anyway...he said he didn't care & was very proud of me & that I just need to keep doing what I'm doing & I'll get there. :bigsmile: I LOVE the support my family gives me! I can't wait till my mom & dad get home for Easter and to see if they notice any difference in my appearance. I haven't seen them since Christmas day!

    Hello! Im in as well. I had a bad week and I feel like I need to make up for it. :embarassed:

    SW: 171
    CW: 149

    144 by April 1 would be wonderful!

    So it looks like I am doing well
    3/12 - 145 this morning
    4lbs!

    March 1 - 149
    March 7 - 147
    March14 - 146
    March 21
    March 28
    March 31

    I am up one since 2 days ago but I know fluctuation is normal. Three down (by averages) and two to go. This is very motivating!


    March 1 - 149
    March 7 - 147
    March14 - 146
    March 21 - 146
    March 28
    March 31

    i've had an injury that is keeping me out of the gym but I am getting as much cardio as I can without it. Nothing lost this week (so far). I am hoping for 2 more lbs lost by March 31st. I hope I can get back to the gym this week!
