    last week 342
    This week 339.8

    Down 2.2 pounds!!! Yay it's going down again!! I don't know if it was from all the water my body retained from my excessive sodium intake last week, or what but I am glad for it! On Tuesday I was even up to 343, so since Tuesday 3.2 pounds of something fell off! lol I'm glad I'm sticking to it now, I'm sticking with exercising and not giving up, and a special thanks to Mollie for bringing to my attention that even though I was staying under calories, I still might be needing to eat cleaner, I started on Wednesday I believe, eating more fruits and veggies with my meals or between my meals and look what happened!!

    Crazy stupid scale!!!!!!!!!!! So I felt so bad this morning after weighing and realizing how bad I had done that I went out and ran 10 miles!!!!!!!! Liked to killed myself, burned 1385 calories!!!! Get home, ..... weigh ....... and now I am down to 142!!!!!!!! That is 5 lbs less then this morning!! As much as I would like to take that acurate, I think I better wait til tomorrow anyway and see how the scale looks in the morning. Now I am going to rest!!

    Ok, weighed this morning and I am at 143.6. Down 2.2 lbs from last week. I am vowing to myself to work hard this week and not to weigh until next week. I have become obsecessed with the scale and weigh myself 4 and 5 times a day.

    So, this week work hard, eat right, weigh in only on Friday.

    My BMI is almost at 25 so I am very excited about that.

    Good luck ladies!!!!!

    Stressed out snowflakes! Lots going on in my life the next week, hopefully closing on my house soon, they keep changing the date!!! Crappy eating habits with everything going on/STRESS!!! I am up on the scale which is SUCH a disappointment for me because I was at my all time lowest at 222 last week!! I understand life happens though so I wont let this get me down. Once I am in the house and I can focus on myself it will be a lot easier!

    Routing you guys on this week, I will try to do my best but I am thinking this Fridays weigh in wont be that great either.

    Hey Ladies!! Happy Monday!!! I am proud to say that i am done with school for the semester, so now i will have plenty of time to focus on weight loss!!! I have decided to have myself a "Makeover May" --cheesy i know but I am pretty excited about it!!! I actually put on a bikini today for the first time since I had my daughter and I have to say it wasnt great but it wasnt as bad as it would have been 6 months ago :happy: So for my makeover I took the before pic in the bikini and will be taking the after in the same swimsuit....and by makeover i mean I am planning to go hardcore this month :laugh:....meaning I am not only going to focus on eating better, but I am going to try to run atleast 9 miles a week, and do some type of ab workout everyday, I am also planning on teeth whitening, a spray tan, and a haircut and color I have also ordered GNC's Be-Beautiful vitapak and started using the Mederma Stretch Mark Therapy!! I am really excited that i might just be able to wear a bikini again!!!--I never thought I would but now i think it might be possible!!! If you all are up to it I would love for someone to join me in my "makeover may" :happy:

    On another note...congrats to everyone who saw a loss this week!!!!

    Sounds great girl! I'll join you, but mind you I will NOT be at my goal by the end of May. I can be looking a lot better though. I need to get back to exercise. Since I met my first goal, I need to schedule my hair appt as well. Spray tan would be nice, but I really don't want anyone to see me as bare as it takes to get one. :blushing: I've got some spray stuff at home from Ulta that is pretty good so I can try to do my own. Vitamins are a good idea. I have Centrum Women's formula at home I need to get back to those as well. Let's do it Amanda! We can rock it out!

    WooHoo!!! We can do this and we WILL look fabulous!!! I will not be at my goal by the end of may either!!! I will be happy losing 8lbs, heck even 5!!! I think the main thing for me, is to actually put some effort into taking care of me :) I get so busy with the little one and with school I havent really been good about getting ready or even trying to look my best, which in turn makes me feel like crap!!! Oh and as far as tanning goes, I have the neutrogena spray and it works amazingly!!! and its only like $9 a can, so its much cheaper than going and getting sprayed, actually the only reason I will be getting sprayed is because my march madness bracket beat my bf's and thats what I won LOL otherwise I wouldnt pay $30 for it!!! I know you are busy with Jacob, and all the other wife/mommy duties, so take some time for yourself!! You will be very happy that you did!!

    I gained this week, claiming it and moving on! Stressing about $ this week. I have a lot of bills that are due the next two week which will only leave money for the basics for food. I hate stressing about $! Well it is what it is. I really need to find that money tree!

    Today makes 500 days that I have been on my journey.

    I'm looking forward to May! The last week and a bit has been horrible for me, logging and workout wise, but I'm picking it up from here... My April calendar was very empty in terms of total workouts compared to Feb and March, so I know there's lots of room to improve!

    Laura- Girl I know its hard. I am stressed about money myself, since I am just starting the new job. But you know what...working out takes me out of the stress zone, even if only for a little while. Everything will work out fine girl! Stay strong!

    Amanda- love the makeover May idea! Pretty awesome! I am just trying to get back to losing this month. We are almost at the end of the challenge, so it is time to rev it up and be ready to look awesome for our final pics. Let me know how that Mederma works...I want to get rid of my stretch marks on my tummy really bad!

    Steph- I hear you girl. I'm excited about this month too, I am ready to get back to my clean eating with no sweets and kicking some butt! Let's do this girly!

    I'm right there with you with the no more sweets! I had 2 sweets today, which was controlled, but I know I can do much better.

    Just checked the spreadsheet and realized we have 5 more weigh-ins til this discussion board is over. Not sure aqbout the rest of you ladies but i am sure I will not be where I need to be in 5wks. Krystle I know you posted about trying to do another challenge after this one, had anymore thought about it? I have come so far and feel I need the support to make it a way of life. I feel even after I get to my goal weight i am going to need to maintain it for a year before I really feel like I have a grip on this. Just puttin git out there that I confess I need you all and hope that this doesnt end any time soon!! Have a great Thursday ladies, One more day til weigh in day!!! Good luck everyone!!

    Wow, so I am a little surprised that there has not been more discussion this week! However, I understand we are all busy so fair enough. Hope everyone is having a great Thursday! Can you believe it is time to weigh-in again tomorrow..WOW! Where did the week go? I will say I'm extremely happy to report that I have not had ANY sweets at all which is awesome for me lol! I am very happy with that, and proud of myself. I just feel like I need to keep this going this month...its not worth it right now. And I will be able to enjoy those things in moderation later.

    I have give a lot of thought to a new challenge and I think I want it to be centered around inches. So every two weeks we will take measurements. And them in the interim we will just use the discussion board to set mini-weekly things like (steps taken, calories burned, fiber, protein intake, etc. I need to put this paper to map it out in a more organized fashion. I just don't want to do weight again (although we can still post our weights periodically). I want to make sure that no one gets discouraged and "drops out" because I think this is the reason why we lot a lot of people. That and the fact that a lot of people are gung-ho about losing weight in the beginning of the year and then fall off.

    So this is what I have been thinking over in my head! Because I want us ladies that are still here to stick together! LOL

    Sounds great to me kry, Im up for what ever!! In fact I think you maybe onto something. The trainer at the Gym keeps telling me to measure instead of weighing 5 x's a day :) Hoping for good tomorrow inspite of the fact that I went on a chocolate binge today!!!! I have confessed and even logged the food ........... then went and worked out hard to try to make up for it. It was so senseless!!! So proud of you Krystle for not giving in. I kicked myself all evening, I just have to learn from it and go on. I just have to say, what is the shelf life of Easter Candy?????? It's gonna have to go!!!!

    Happy weigh in ladies!!

    You caught the same bug that I have!! :tongue: I also tried to make up for it with a late workout, but didn't quite succeed. We'll see tomorrow. PS - I think the shelf life is one day. BETTER THROW IT OUT!! :laugh: (We still have Christmas chocolate!! :noway: I'm throwing it out as soon as no one else is looking, cause we all know who will be the one to eat it...)
