    I carry around a water bottle but I had the same problem after my first five pounds. I upped my calories about 2-300 and fit in an extra workout, then dropped them back down and it came falling off after about the 4th day. Also those lemon squeeze bottles you get at the store go great in plain water. :smile:

    This week I upped my calories for a few days as I had seemingly stalled out but i made good choices. I didn't hit my two pound mark but I'm at 174.4! I had a 1.6 pound weight loss which is good enough for me! Even had a pumpkin spice latte yesterday too!


    SW : 218
    9/16: 180
    9/23: 178
    9/30: 176
    10/7: 174.4 CW hit my first mini goal of 175! Next big goal is 165
    GW: 150 pre pregnancy weight.

    Next week's goal is 172.4 :) good luck everybody!

    171.2! I missed last weeks weigh in even though I was down to 173. I'm almost to the 150s which is awesome. I need to fit in some workouts but it's been incredibly hard with a 10 week old defying all of her naps. Here's to a happy and healthy week!!!

    SW: 218
    9/16: 180
    9/23: 178
    9/30: 176
    10/7: 174.4

    I won't post my weight here, but I've been steadily losing 2 pounds a week since August. It's the first time I've lost over 20 pounds in years!!!

    I just joined this Dietbet if anyone is interested. It's been wonderful for me, and it's over before Thanksgiving!!

    Lost 2lbs this week! Only made it to the gym three times but was under my calorie goal every day!

    Sw: 245
    Cw: 232.4
    Gw: 180

    Sw: 245
    Cw: 230.0
    Gw: 180

    Lost 2.5lbs in two weeks. Slow moving but still going in the right direction! Haven't worked out too much the last couple weeks but started upping that again a couple days ago. I have an ambitious goal of 3lbs in 10 days to hit my diet bet!

    Try keeping a bottle of water on your bathroom counter. Every time you go drink up before you leave. We all know how often we're in there when we are hydrated, it's bound to increase your intake!

    I've been eating well under calories and drinking lots of water. Getting lots of fiber in also. I've been doing strength training for a few days now and I really like it. Enjoying participating in Fall Fun Amazing Race and October Walk Challenge. I didn't lose today when I weighed in today but lost 1.8 in the last week. I'm now down 9.2 lbs and looking forward to 10! Y'all have a great week! B)

    @Hensday, thanks for the water tip, that's a great one!
