    I weigh on Wednesdays so I will edit my spot on the spreadsheet them. Thanks again for starting this group. I could really use the support. I didn't think after coming this far in my journey it would still be this hard.

    I don't know how to add myself to document yet. I'll find out how to open it in another browser. For now will someone put me in starting weight 145. Seeing the progress will be helpful. Thanks

    I lost 20 lbs then got off track. Yes, it is just as hard now because people are complimenting me on my weight loss and telling me how good I look. My motivation might not be as great as before. Set a goal and have a reason to stick to it!

    Add me plzzz! I could use some MFP pals to hold me accountable. I have more than 15 pounds to go but my next big goal is about 15 pounds to go so I'm kinda there too!

    So my husband is taking me to steak and shake for supper. I decided ahead of time what I was going to order, added it to my diary, and ate the rest of the day accordingly to stay under calories. Genius! The weekend is hard as I'm off my routine. I WILL lose this weight! I'm gonna take one day at a time.

    I haven't really got off the blocks yet... in fact I might have gained a few pounds. Oh well...
    There's one more day till weigh in on Sunday. I'd better make it count.
    How have you guys found week 1?
    Do you share food diaries then?
    I'll open mine. But don't look at today's disastrous intake!!!

    Feel free to friend me and I can have a good old pog at your eating habits.
    Wonder how differently we all eat?

    How's everyone getting on with the weekend?
    We took the kids to the cinema and I mindlessly muched through half a bag of popcorn. 500 calories later.... eugh

    Went out to chinese with friends. I was so determined to just eat green beans, chicken on a stick, and healthier things. As soon as I walked in and smelled the food, I lost it. I used almost the entire days calories on the one meal. I'm not gonna beat myself up as we don't do that often . I enjoyed the meal and I'll just start fresh tomorrow. The weekends for me are terrible. Failure is "blowing it " and not trying again. Did u mess up? The only people who fail are those who try! :D

    I am down another 0.2 pounds this morning, it is not much but at least headed in the right direction! So good to read everyone's posts about their journey to lose weight and how we are all on the last bit! Inspiration and motivation comes from within others so thank you for whomever started this thread! It has been a wonderful help!

    Hi everyone.... Live reading your posts. I did a little math and calendar work and if I can lose 1lb a week from now until the end of May I will reach my ultimate goal. Currently 13.2 lbs to go. So now the focus is 1 lb a week. Just have to keep up the health eating and getting exercise.

    My other focus, is that finally this week I am starting some extra exercises for abs/booty/arms at home. I want to get atleast 15mins a day at home on this strategy to work on my trouble spots.

    Went online and pulled together a list of exercises that I think will work. Fingers crossed.

    Exercise is destroying my weight loss!
    I'm not going to quit though. Just drop my calorie intake to 1000 a day.
    I'm almost half way through insanity and went for a 5k run today (my day off insanity!)
    I've piled on 5 pounds so far but so many people say the 2nd month shows on the scales.

    I love the accountability sheet!
    Although I can't edit it... next time someone's on there please could you add my 131 pounds in the box?

    It's so good to see those pounds lost on there. Bravo you guys!
    I'll be aiming for losing 3 pounds this week. If not more.

    Right. I'm going to have an 'add' fest now. Xxx

    Way to go everyone in completing another week. Together we can do this! Whether losing a little a lot or none, we are aware of what it takes and can move forward. Let's have another great week!

    Thought I was making homemade pizzas to fit with my calories. After dinner my husband lovingly informed me that I had mis-read the label and consumed WAY more calories than intended. Ah well. Also, enjoyed a soda this weekend. Tastes sooo much better when you havent had it for a week! Looking forward to stepping on the scale tomorrow. Thanks all for your encouragement!
