    I'm happy at the rate that I'm losing weight. It could be faster but I dare not try because I'm scared of possible rebounds. I still stumble along the way but what's important is I get up and move onward towards my goal. A 30lb loss by Christmas is wonderful but my real target is at least 40lbs. Almost halfway through. Yey! Yey! Yey!
  • I need to loose 20 by Xmas or before ! I'm in

    I did not loose anything this week. Feeling a little bummed about it.
    I have to keep at it. It's so hard to stay motivated. I just want junk food and to be lazy.

    Well-no loss this week, discouraging, but not unexpected with 4 days away w/friends. This is where I typically say screw it and give up. NOT THIS TIME! Back to planning, prep & portions....that's the combo I have most success with.
    Thanks for being here- I think it helps to know I need to check in at beginning of the week.

    I am going on a cruise next Friday. I think that might set me back a few weeks! All the reason to work hard now :)

    I'm having a hard time this week too. We can do it!

    I am really struggling to make healthy eating choices but also to get myself to workout. Anyone have suggestions on how to snap out if it?

    Make that 3 of us.
    I did well and reached my 25lb target. Then managed to put 3lb back on in the space of a week. Here's hoping it'll come back off soon.
    As for exercise I just can't get past turning walking into running

    Is it too late to join? I've lost 16 lbs since July 27. I need to lose 19 more. This will help me stay on track.

    Only down .6 this week :( Ovulation week, and a cheat day last Sunday, made it difficult to rebound.

    Here's hoping for a bigger drop next week! So close to being back under 200...

    I gained a couple pounds this week. I need to step up my game.

    I need to stop drinking more than 1-2 glasses at a time, it throws me off my game. I had a visitor from thursday - sunday so there was a lot of wine, eating out and cake. Not beating myself up though!
