    I've managed to still loose .2 ounces even though I was dehydrated for 2 days because of the stomach bug! I honestly didn't think I would loose anything because my body trends on the side of retaining water. I'm grateful for the loss!

    Sunday Weigh In -- Week #4
    SW: 155.6 - 12/4/2016
    PW: 150.6
    CW: 150
    GW: 122
    Target Date: 1/28/2018 3/25/2018; 2/4/2018

    My goal is 1/2 lb per week so I made my goal. Have been in a step challenge with another person. That was motivating me to really up my steps, until she stopped walking much. Wish I found that motivation from inside all the time. But if that were the case, I wouldn't have gained this weight the first time or this time!

    Prepped carrots, kale and spinach for my smoothies. Each is processed into liquid then frozen into cubes. Eliminates a lot of waste. IF I have one each day, I don't have to think much about a balanced diet.

    Somehow I managed to lose 1lb, despite my best efforts the last few days. I'm not going to complain! Getting serious about it today. Thankfully, I'm still so full from last night's escapades that today should be easy

    5'2" and 144# and 62 years young. Need to lose 20#. Lost it last year (and the year before also) and regained it both times. Lost a pound this month. Big victory as I can easily gain 5-10#'s between Thanksgiving and Christmas. My goal is to get to maintenance and have it be a 3# range, not a 20# range!

    Haven't seen many weights posted lately. How is everyone doing? I for one do not look forward to weighing in Sunday (after the holiday), but I will. Folks need to see the ups and downs I suppose.

    By the way those who post to be added, you already are. To benefit most from the group, post your weekly weigh ins. Also nice to pick out a few folks you think you'd connect with and send friend requests. Including a message with the friend requests helps as well.

    Last time I posted was Dec. 23rd and I was 129.0 -- then Christmas came! But it's not too bad -- I'm 129.8 -- and I'll take it! When I reach my goal (now it's 117 -that would be 35 pounds overall) I will need to deal with the ups and downs and maintain -- so I'm trying just to maintain right now until the holidays are over and I can get back to an eating routine. (We're traveling and visiting with family right now -- it's tough when everyone wants to entertain and make special dishes and eat out! But -- it's fun, and it's real.)

    Can I join in? I know this is a slightly older thread but I've only been back here for 10 days. I left when I was TTC. I just had a baby girl by c section in November and am waiting to be cleared for exercise by my healthcare provider. I've done nothing to lose weight since my daughter was born, but I have still lost more than 30lbs in the last six weeks since her birth.

    Age: 31
    Height: 5'3.5"
    Highest weight - 223lbs (while pregnant so it doesn't really count...)
    Highest not pregnant weight - 210lbs
    CW: 191lbs (on Monday)
    Lowest adult weight - 167.7lbs*
    GW: 135-150lbs

    I understand my goal is strange, but I also want to gain some muscle mass in addition to losing fat. I'm not sure what my numbers are going to look like at that point.

    Right now pounds are pouring off me even though I eat to satisfaction (estimating 2000-2200cal daily) and am basically sedentary or light activity so my body is clearly shedding something.

    * This happened a few years ago and done in a rather unhealthy manner at a maximum of 1200cal daily and exercising 90-250 minutes moderate to heavy cardio daily. I got very sick (migraines, severe abdominal pain, muscle weakness, sleeping 14-16h daily, fainting) because my net calories ended up in the 100-400 range. Don't do this. Feed your body. When I stopped doing that level of harm to my body, the yoyo back to 195lbs or so was awful.

    What kind of exercise are you ladies doing to get to your goal weight? How do you stay motivated? I don't have trouble staying in my calorie range during the week but the weekends derail me and I really need help to keep the eating (and drinking) in check! Any advice is welcome & appreciated! :blush:

    I lift weights. Rarely do any cardio, aside from a 5-10 minute walk as my warm up. I have a lot of aesthetic and strength goals and I just genuinely enjoy going to the gym to lift weights, so it's pretty easy for me to stay motivated for my workouts.
    I have used calorie banking if I want to eat more certain days. Save about 200 calories a day for the weekend (so if you saved 200x5 days a week = 1000, you could eat 500 more on saturday and sunday.)
