    @bigghunny , Melanie, congrats on getting in the 40's for lbs lost!! :D You've been having some good motivation and are so supportive of everyone else. Just think, you've found what is working for you and so much more is also possible. Just keep your head in the game, no matter what goes on during your vacation in Vegas. We all need some fun in our lives. We will be here for you when you return.

    Good Morning:
    SW: 305
    CW:299
    Total Loss: 6 pounds. But for me the fact that I am below 300 and plan to never be there again is huge for me. I am pretty pumped that I have lost 94 pounds and I am close to 100. I want the 100 so badly. I am feeling the need to really push myself.

    The 1st half of March, I had my stomach virus and lost lots. So, I've been mentally doing the 2nd half of March and trying to lose 7.5 lbs, or more. At mid March, I weighed 314.6. This morning, I weighed and I'm at 309.4. I hope the scale doesn't go back up much in the next few days.

    @CassieBinTC You've been doing real well, and for quite some time too. o:) You've come a long way and have lots to look forward to. *high-5* for reaching the 200's.

    Good job everyone! So this week I only lost a pound, but I was so proud of myself because I exercised twice and that's my biggest struggle. I easily lost more than 15 pounds my first two months, but I guess my body is settling in and slowing down.

    SW: 380
    LW: 376
    CW:375 (only 1 little pound this week)

    Total lost to date 39lbs

    Hi everyone I was recommended to this group and am pretty new here trying to change my lifestyle and could really use some support.

    I don't really know how to add friends, so if anyone wants to add me I would appreciate it. Like many of you I have over 100 lbs to lose. Thank you

    Ugh! So between my cold last week and my "time of the month" this week, I am only down .9 oz. I am happy that its a loss and not a gain, but I am so hoping that this next week is kinder to me - especially since it is the last week of March.

    Down -4.4 in March so far

    sw 297.9
    cw 293.5

    @cnavarro002 it’s still a loss and headed into the right direction. And look at you are 3.5 lbs away from being double digits under 300lbs. Keep pushing and leave that old mark in the dust.

    @Dad4Myla thank you!!! Even better, wanna know a secret? I am 9.5 lbs away from hitting 50 lbs lost! I want to hit that mark SO FRICKEN BAD!! Which is why it is so hard to only lose ounces right now...

    Well after being up 0.5 pounds last week, I happy to report that I am down 2lbs this week.

    PW 306.6
    CW 304.6

    It would be so awesome if I could have a whoosh next week and get below 300 by the end of March!!!

    I worked really hard this week and drank a lot of water the past few days, At least 120 oz. Here’s hoping I can do it again and get another 4.2 off to hit the mark....but if it don’t I’m still proud of myself!! Woohoo!!

    @meldwel - nice job! You hit it out of the park, girl!

    @meldwel you crushed it. And weather you hit or not, it only matters that you went after it and never gave up. We are all going through the same things. So it’s cool to be able to watch one another transform

    Hi everyone just got back into town from my awesome vacation. Congrats everyone for all your great loss numbers. Had a major setback on the scale but enjoyed my time away. After this vacation I realized how I got this size. So many bad food choices and not holding myself accountable. So needless to say had a big gain over the week. Looking forward to a new challenge next month and I am here cheering you guys on. Have a great week everyone!

    @bigghunny most likely a lot of what you are seeing on the scale is water weight. It’s hard to do too much damage over a short-time. Also, it’s so awesome that you were able to learn more about yourself. That insight is so important to long term success. Along my journey my “mindless eating” has greatly reduced. When I go overboard it’s definitely consciously... which means I can stop it before I spiral.

    @Mellykay88 from one Melanie to another thank you for that! I hope its just water weight...lol It did make me realize this is a lifetime change not just some fad diet. You are are such an inspiration to me and everyone.

    @bigghunny Awe shucks! You guys keep me going too. I don’t really have anyone in real life who is on this journey, so having this community has been a huge factor in my ability to really do this this time.

    WoooHooo! I finally had a great weight loss week! I lost 5 pounds in the first three weeks of March and 7 last week. And I didn't reduce calories this week from the past two at all. Crazy! I'm so glad I kept at it. I'm 3 pounds to the goal with 3 days left!
