    Hi ladies,
    I know that you all are about 2 weeks into your challenge, but can I join as well? If so my stats are as follows:

    Height: 5'3"
    SW: 185.2 (as of 4 Aug)
    GW for 12 week challenge: 176, that's just about a lb a wk which is supposed to be obtainable.

    I have been reading through the thread and this seems like a really good group and I'm really excited about taking this final stand. I recently had some life events happen to make me realize how important being fit is. I'm in the Air Force and with today's ops tempo you have to be ready to go out the door all the time.

    For the most part, I run 5 days a week, strength training with my personal trainer 2 days a week and then more running in the evenings, lol.

    BTW my name is Selena. Good luck to everyone!

    Hi girls! I'm updating the chart now. Vacation was great, but I'm happy to be back. I had a 2 lb gain over vacation, but that's to be expected with all of the extra calories, eating out, and not drinking enough water. I'm back in the middle of week 3 so I'm not sure if I'll have any results on Thursday, but I'm ready to go. Eating well and exercise ought to help. It did feel pretty good on vacation to have lost the 20 lbs that I did before we left and not feel huge in a bathing suit :)

    Good luck the rest of the week everyone!

    Hi Selena! Welcome to the group :flowerforyou: We're happy to have you join us on your fitness journey. I'll add you to this week's chart (which is a little delayed again since I was out of town). We weigh in on Thursdays with the goal of being able to post the weekly results chart by Friday. Good luck!

    I've been away from the computer all week/weekend and am sad to report that I gained: 164.0...sorry to hear of your gain as well, but let's start afresh and get back on the plan!

    Hi! I will add yours to my internal chart, but the posting below won't show it this week. I already did the uploads, etc and now my computer is not looking so good tonight.

    Here is last week's results for Week 2. Great job to everyone, and if you gained, it's a new week so try again. Aside from overeating and special occasions, women just have weird systems and cycles ~ it's bound to get better!

    Also, I want to apologize for any odd colors on the chart. Since coming home from vacation, we have had nothing but problems in the house and now my computer is showing a red screen or red tinge anywhere there is black background. It may not last much longer :grumble:

    I am hoping to have a much better weigh in this week. Much easier to make better food choices at home, and also been picking up on my water consumption again. It seems to be clearing off the excess from last week! :smile:
  • Thats good to here. Vacation is nice but its always nice to come home and get back to your normal routine. Good luck this week!

    Fingers crossed for a better result on the scales tomorrow! Now less than 7 weeks until it's time to don the tankini so really need to step it up!

    Good morning everyone!!
    How's everyones week been going?
    I've been so busy as had a huge assignment due yesterday. I haven't been getting enough sleep so I'm a bit worried I'm getting run down. However went to bed early last night and got some well deserved sleep in. My assignment also stopped me from organizing my meals. I never went over my cals but I didn't eat enough veges this week and my body can feel it. So today I have to get back on the vege train so to speak!!
    Ok so weigh in today: 236.9 Which I think is a loss of 2.2 if my calculations are correct
    Hope you all have a great week!! And wish everyone the best for their weigh ins.

    Weigh-in report:

    Scale said 185.0 this morning so that's -.2lbs. I'll take it considering the week that I had. But I am going to have to up my cardio. Hope everyone is having a better week than I am.

    Yayyyy!!! Weigh in today at 139.8, woohoo very happy!!

    Even though my weekend was not perfect, I did a bit more exercise this week and it has paid off, bringing me under 140 and my goal weight is firmly in sight.

    Good luck with weigh in everyone.

    Hi. I was looking for a "shorties challenge and was told to check you out. I see you've started weeks ago. Are you taking any newbies? I would love to join. In Jan. 2011 I weighed 142lbs and with the help of MFP I lost over 20lbs and was at 120lbs. However this past month and a half I've had way to much fun, stopped exercising, ate out a lot and drank quite a bit so therefore I am up 8lbs and feeling it. I need some help and motivation to get back at it. Will you have me? I am currently 5'0 and weight 128lbs. My final goal would be 115lb but would be happy to at least get to 120lbs. If not I understand and keep me in mind for the next round. I look forward to hearing from you.
    Good luck to everyone.

  • Good Morning!

    weigh in today 176, up 1.6!! I am beating my head against the wall. It must be the smoking, I quit 10 days ago and nothing seems to be working. Guess I will just have to plow through it.

    Good Morning Shorty's!!
    Well, I was able to work off most of my TOM weight gain. Or maybe I just evened out. Haha. Who knows? I'm back down to 167.8 this week.

    I am back up to 122...I am at the end of TOM so hopefully that is why!
  • Bump for round 3, or is it possible to join now? I'm a newbie to MFP and it would be great to join. If its not possible to join in, please do keep me in mind for October’s round 3. Thank you and good luck!
  • I am at 139 this morning and very happy with that. I lost two pounds from last week and looking forward to next week!

    I am happy to report a loss, even if very slight. I had been gaining every week for a couple weeks, so happy not to have gained. I weighed in at 150 lbs. Dropped .6 pounds.
    Thanks for the great tables!
