    Saturday - usually my day to catch up on sleep but I've been running since 10 am (equivalent of 5 am for me)! On the bright side I've already exceeded my goal of 4000 steps (well on the way to 6000). Exhausted but feeling pretty good.

    I missed last week's weigh in. I was busy moving, and didn't get weighed. Now I'm afraid to, as everyone had to keep shoving food in my face while family was down, helping with the move. Not to mention, my son had his 17th bday, and yes, there was cake!

    Bad week. Was stressed and busy with work - getting in early meant missing my morning workouts. Worth the craziness because I now get a weeks vacation and am visiting my family including my new nephew. Going to try and watch my diet and get in my steps this week then it's back to the grind next week.

    EarthDay Weight Challenge for Week of April 5 - ending on Sunday April 9th ...

    We had 12 people weigh in out of the 26 that signed up for it but dropped out along the way. As a group we had a 0.30 lb loss over last week. ... This was a hard week that saw 6 of us gain weight, and one person joined us with their first weigh in - so no loss or gain was shown for that individual.

    Two more weigh-in's and we are done ... the week of April 12 and April 19 ... Good luck ... lets see if we can't all lose 1 pound each this week!

    :'(:|B):#:*>:)o:)<3

    Every little bit helps ... it all adds up over time ... I'd just rather see weekly losses, even two-tenths of a pound, rather than the 1 or 1-1/2 pound gains I sometimes get ... know what that is from, just still working on mastering the input control board in my brain!

    Weight -/+ this challenge: -13.8

    So excited I hit my goal of 228 AND I have lost my first 30 pounds since I started in the middle of January! Celebrating by having a piece of pizza tonight! I've been missing it, but one piece still keeps me within my calories I just can't eat much else or I'll be over! :)

    @sand86802 good for you increasing your fluid, great job, keep it up. I know I need to track and increase my fluid too but it's a real struggle for me. I have to work at it just to get to around 44 ounces, seldom make the minimum of 64 ounces. Maybe, if we do another challenge (and I hope we do) we can do weight and tracking our fluid intake because I bet we're not the only ones who need to increase their amounts!

    @Nikion901 I love your turtle posting, I think I'll put that saying on my bathroom mirror for motivation!

    Have a great week everyone!

    Sorry I didn't do my weigh in this past week. It's been a really bad week for pain and consequently major loss of sleep. Been keeping my calorie goal pretty much but not my carb and sodium levels so my fluid retention has been poor even on diuretic days. No point in weighing until I get it under control because it really doesn't mean anything. I did manage to walk all but 700 of my step goal today but I did poorly with my water goal and at long last I had the carbs and the sodium back in range. Hoping for a better week.

    @bapcarrier : WOW! :smiley: Awesome job so far. Congrats on reaching your goal!

    Just checking in tonight to read the posts I've missed since last week's weigh-in (a gain for me :( ). This thread has been a big motivation for me in getting back with the program, even though I was so disappointed with myself for gaining last week.

    One very good thing that has come out of the past few weeks for me is that I seem to be getting a bit better with avoiding "mindless eating" and emotional-type eating. One week of gaining doesn't erase that progress. I think the gain I had last week was entirely due to my decisions to eat out at a couple of favorite restaurants, and I was ok with that. I enjoyed those meals. Being honest with myself, I know that I didn't reach nearly 230 lbs by occasionally splurging at restaurants. My real issues lie with the kind of thoughtless eating that adds up, calorie by calorie, day by day. That, and somewhat compulsive over-eating when I'm stressed, tired, etc.

    Here's hoping everyone is having a good week. At least where I am, spring is in full swing. The change of season has brought a tremendous positive shift to my mood and my outlook on things. :smile:

    Almost Friday fitness. Been a strange week walked 20 minutes 3 days and an hour today. Saturday paddled the kayak really hard for about 45 minutes into a 20 mph wind . This week has been about learning how to eat and eliminate soft foods. Both are much harder than you would expect.
    I had a huge NSV on Tuesday. I test drove a car and they kept my drivers licence. They called me and I went back for it. The salesperson I met at the door went in the back to get it and came out with one in his hand and said it wasn't mine. I looked at it, he was wrong. He got all slack jawed and said wow you've lost a lot of weight. I am also down another pant size. I can buy clothes at normal people stores now. With no elastic in the waist!!!!

    @pneschich great job on your Nsv! That is amazing!!

    Years ago I heard that you weren't supposed to smile for a government ID so when I was surprised that I would have to take a drivers license picture I didn't. Wow that was the worst picture ever (for many reasons) and I've hated it when I have to pull it out since. This past week I had to go into the DMV so I decided I was going to retake my picture....I didn't realize that I would have to refill out the whole form. Well it had me put down my weight, which made me look at the weight on my card, which I was now only 20lbs from. So I changed my weight on the card from 175 to 180, because who wants to put down their real weight. Now that is my new goal. I got my new license today and every time I pull it out it's going to be my reminder!! What once was a piece of plastic I hated to touch has now turned into my motivation!!

    Hi there! My name is Valerie and I just stumbled across this discussion board. I am 31 years old and a mother to two beautiful little kiddos. I am 14 months post pregnancy and 2 months post op from Thyroid removal. I have not lost any of the baby weight that I gained with my daughter. I have a goal of losing 120lbs, I am looking for friends with similar goals.
