    Hey I am right there with you both too....the scale says what I had lost.....has found me again! Is that even possible???
    Anyway, here we are and now we gotta get back out there! I am trying to work hard to at least get the scale back to where it was! We can do this......I know we can, just take it one day at a time.

    Hey everyone!

    Just thought I would check in.... Seems like everyone had a challenging weekend!

    Don't get discouraged!! This week has been tough knowing that the hard work probably isn't going to show up on the scale this week, because I am making up for the Easter/TOM debacle. My plan is to think long term. Seriously, what is a one weekend set back within the scope of what I have going on here? NOTHING!!! We have a great resource here and a wonderful support network available. [thanks :smile: ] We can do this!!!!

    It's going to be tough to lose 9 lbs this month, but I'm going to really push it. The past few days have been hard. I've wanted to comfort eat for my emotions, since my city was devastated by a tornado. I've just tried to maintain focus on my goal, and get my comfort elsewhere. My goal for the next week is to complete level 1 of the 30 day shred (today is day 8), and maybe even finish it without feeling like I'm going to die.

    Ok....slow and steady I guess is ok....but not sure I'm going to get those last 4 by the end of the month! Guess I have to work at this a little harder.....

    HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

    ====================

    Goals....hummm I think my problem is that I do pretty good during the week....but weekends are truly a challenge for me! I need to try and be good all week and not just 5 of the 7 days! This weekend might be another challenge....hubby's birthday and we are going out to celebrate with some friends....I'm sure there will be some eating, drinking and dancing. **That's it I just have to dance enough to get a huge calorie burn! LOL

    Well good luck this week to everyone! DJ31 I am so sorry for your loss....I am not sure what town your in, but with the destruction I've seen on the news I can only imagine. Our prayers are with you and your town.

    Not too bad if you consider Easter 1.8 for the week and .8 since the start of the challenge. That second part is a little disappointing, but I think I am at least moving in the right direction.

    Other good news... I donated my size 12 jeans to GoodWIll yesterday. I was looking for my size 8s, because I *knew* I had worn my size 10s the day before (because of the fit) Turns out I couldn't find them, because I had worn them the day before and my 8s fit like my 10s!! I figured if 8 is the new 10 then I have no room for the 12 in my life. yay!

    Okay I am down to 220 and I have lost a total of 1.5 inches.....so I am guessing that switching up my routine is helping. I am hoping to stick to this and have some fat loss here soon.

    not gonna get to my goal weight at this pace...def need to kick up the cardio (again)
    just started the 17 day diet as of yesterday so hoping that might help me with my GW.
    i took a road trip last weekend to surprise my lil sister for her b-day so i KNOW that didn't help my cause. drinkiing and eating not-so-healthy foods for almost 70 hrs straight?? can't be a good thing!
    looking better for the week ahead though and with cutting alcohol out of my diet as well...that # on my scale is GOING DOWN!! :)

    Yuck... I blame this on spring break, plus a host of injuries that kept me from running. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on the exercise band wagon again soon. I'm thinking of starting P90X... as soon as I have money!

    Here's to a better next week, for all of us!!!

    Hey snarky, how tall are you?? One of my goals for the last few years has been to get out of the double digits size-wise... I'd love to know a ball park weight range for that! If we're a similar height, then maybe I'll get there in the next 20 lbs!!

    Hello swinginchandra!

    I am 5'-6" My sizes are all over the place these days. I have a pair of Levis that are 10s that are wearable, but tight. But in the cheap, ugly, intentionally NOT SEXY mom jeans that I wear to not draw attention to myself at construction sites I am down to an 8 which is baggy :) The size change in those is a real change, because it is kinda my work uniform. I always get the same hideous style. They are inexpensive... I don't care if they get damaged... they are roomy for bending over, squatting, and climbing ladders without too much of a show. The show is now about me hiking them up because they are slipping over my hips and I don't have a belt. ooh... plumber's butt!!! perfect for a construction site! I should go rescue those size 12's... just kidding, I will just hold onto those size 10s they will be there soon enough!!! maybe not by May 27th, but soon enough.

    bummer missxena, I hope that you had a good time at least?

    SO, I can't believe it is May already. I wonder how I am going to pull this out? really 25 days left in this challenge and I feel like I haven't really even started. I would like to order an *kitten* kicking for me too.

    Count me in the pity party.....I knew this wasn't going to be good with the hubby birthday and going out, but yuck! I think this last 25 days will have to be gruelling to get anywhere near my goal. It always seems like I can get "about" this close and then....boom I get lax and slowly start to justify a little more of this and a little more of that! Before I know it the scale is going the wrong direction. I just can't seem to get rid of these last few pounds. And I did not set my goal to high, I absolutely SHOULD have been able to do this...and yet.....

    I really needed a good weekend and Frosted Brownie Cake was too much to resist....as well as the several mixed drinks following that! :angry:

    Alright guys, it's time to kick it up a notch! I just got 30 DS, and I'm going to be doing it every morning... any one want to join me? It's only about 30 minutes a day, so it looks like I should be able to add it in pretty easily. I need to get serious if I'm going to hit my goal!

    I start tomorrow morning!
    Yuck though, big swing dance convention this weekend... those always mess with my sleep schedule.

    Bad week here....no excercise for 2 days and eating apparently more than I should....if I eat my calories of 1200 - 1300 I guess I will still gain weight.....I thought even without excercise, eating at this level would still maintain my weight or just a smaller loss?? Oh well...here's this weeks not so good report!!

    Still gotta keep pushing this out if I'm going to be able to reach my goal... I was stuck at 169 for too long.

    By the way, anyone have any fun rewards planned for the end of this challenge? Mine is clothes shopping!!

    I am fairly new to this site, I have used other sites before. But I know what to do but need the encouragement and push as well. Did you all get things going? Or can I jump it to what you are doing?

    Ok so the scale isn't moving I even made my kids stand on it just to make sure it wasn't just stuck on the same number since it hasn't seemed to move!! My scale is an old fashioned dial scale so unless I lose a whole pound I don't see any change :( I'm really trying not to let myself get discouraged, but it is difficult. I did just buy the 30 day shred waiting to get it in the mail! hopefully I can make myself do it!
