    Do you have a suit in mind, yet? Is it in your hands?

    I have a very cute one yes. I think maybe I'll take it up on my bedroom wall.

    Take a pic with it on now, so you can compare to how it looks later. :) You could even post that pic on your fridge, if you like. That will be mighty motivating for me when I get mine in!
  • Bikini body photo (of the model in the magazine) is up on the fridge as a constant reminder! I decided to go ahead and ordered my suit along with a cover up. :) I can't wait to get it and work on seeing the photos of before and after during my journey!


    That is a GREAT motivator!!

    I need to do that, great idea!

    Well, this weekend was a write off...we traveled to my inlaws who live 2.5 hours away as they just got back from 4 months in Florida. There were my 3 children plus 3 of their cousins and it was total chaos (but fun!) and I didn't get a single bit of exercise in and the food intake was way too high. I didn't even turn on my computer to log on here.

    My only thought is that I can't eat or drink the whole day tomorrow as I am having a stomach scope done so perhaps that will even it all out, lol

    How did everyone else do this weekend?

    Yikes! I hope the scope goes well.

    I stayed just under calories on Saturday, but over by 50 on Sunday. I got at least 30 min of exercise in on both days, so I'm happy.

    My 2 piece will be in next Thursday. I was hoping it would be in sooner for before pictures, but I'll still have plenty more pounds to lose once it gets here, lol.

    How's everyone else doing?

    Hi everyone!!!

    This weekend was my best friends bachelorette party, and even though I ate pretty well, I think my alcohol intake was like 2000 calories! LOL! I weighed myself Monday though and still around the same point. Which I guess is good. This week I am trying to do alot more outside exercise....walking a lot, then probably zumba 2 times. I am limiting my carb intake, which is making me choose wisely that foods I consume. Hopefully after the wedding this weekend everything will even out. I am not going to over eat or drink either. Weddings are long and busy days!

    Good job to all of you for keeping up with this!!! You all will be successful....keep it up!

    No success for me, yet. It's my TOM, so I'm hoping for a nice drop next week. Right? I've been working hard, though! Getting plenty of exercise and staying within my calorie range.

    PS. I love your mustaches! hehe

    Tinab, I am dreading, in some ways, my next night out with the girls. I'm scared to look up what my frozen margaritas will cost me!

    Congrats on your 2 lb drop! I ordered a 2 piece, but not a bikini. I got a tankini with a skirt! It should be in on Saturday. :)

    Well, not so good for me this week. Gained a pound. Weighed in at 162 this morning :huh:

    How often are you guys weighing? I planned on doing it once a week on Sunday, but I couldn't help myself this morning, and I'm down 2 pounds!

    I weigh once or twice a week. Congrats on your 2 lbs!

    Today I went to a hoop class and did day 4 of 30DS. Tomorrow, I finish up Week 3 of C25K.
  • I know i shouldn't but i weigh myself most mornings, it's a bad idea because i obviously fluctuated this week and thought i had put on - prob water or something like that.
    But my actual weigh in day is fridays and to my complete surprise i have lost 2 pounds as well!! Now i am feeling totally motivated!!
    Going to run tonight - and no booze or naughty food!! Going to run tomorrow morning too and save up some calories so i can have a few drinks on saturday night.
    Well done to everyone else who lost, and those that didn't its prob muscle weight or something annoying like that!!x

    Awesome loss!!!
  • I weight once a week, on Friday's. So today is 1 week for me and I was down 2 pounds! yay! and that's with having my TOM too!
    I just had a little talk with my TOM and told it I was kicking its butt.....LOL

    I got my suit in today. It's not too small as I thought it would be. It's even a little loose in the top straps. I'm trying to figure out if it's because I ordered a tall. I'm tempted to order a size down just to see how it fits since I plan to keep losing. Hmmmmm.

    Great work everyone! I see we had a little 2 pound thing going this week...lol.

    That's great atouria. Isn't it satisfying when something you just knew would be too small isn't. I can't tell y'all the last time I went swimsuit shopping. This is going to be an adventure.
