100lb cahllenge - week of 2/17 thru 2/23

Hi. I posted this on the old thread. Hope this is ok!

Hey. I just joined on Friday, but actaully starting today. I weighed myself about a week ago and Im finally down to 201......believe me, this has been a struggle!! Ive been separated 2 years (its a good thing, really), but anyway, last May, my weight went up to 245. I looked swollen. I was embarrased to go out in public, meet new people, and that ISNT good for someone with 2 kids. I couldnt even bare to wear shorts. I felt hot, sweaty, lethargic, all the time. Ive lost over 45 pounds in less than a year. I have another 60 to lose in order to be where I want to be, but now its time to get on track with my eating and I could really use the support. Currently, Im in a super tight 14 (lol) and a comfy 16ish. My goals arent to hurry up and get there, but want to take it slow and gradual. I give up soooo easily on dieting and stuff, but I think its finally my time to get to be the woman I was before kids!!! Im 28 years old, and 5'6 1/2" if that helps give any perspective! I look forward to getting to know all you fine people and work on this togather

Hey, thanks! And congrats to you as well for losing 6 pounds in 3 weeks!

I went over my calories by 268 yesterday. Maybe the chicken nuggets at 10 pm werent a great idea. Whoops! Lol...I had to have SOMETHING though after Prison Break...

New day....right??

Well I haven't joined any challenges lately because things were at a stand still:frown:

But I did some checking and I feel a little better. I have lost 5 lbs this month. Only 100 to go now.

That is a total of 40 since August for me.

Actually, after taking another look at this post, have 2 more comments. Casta you are doing great!!**20 lbs** since january. I am almost there and started at least a month before you. You are rockin it!!! And eve23 I noticed you changed your picture. I may be wrong but is that an updated pic from the one you had posted before? It looks as if your face is thinning out. Either way **40 lbs** is awesome. GREAT JOB!!!

Here we go with this weeks results.
I am weighing in at 219
I am now down 4 pounds for this week and down 7 since we started on the First!!!
Measurements have not changed but I know that when you measure yourself it is hard
to get it accurate. I should trust my boyfriend to do this for me but I still a bit embarassed by
how large I have gotten.
Hope this was a good week for everyone.:drinker: :flowerforyou:

Hi everyone, I just joined today. I'm currently at 182 and my goal is 110. I hope this site will help me. I've tried diets and all that for many years. I'm turning 23 next month. I've been trying to get to my ideal weight since I was in high school. Any tips would be wonderful :happy:

Hi, I'm new here and was so excited to find this site while doing a search. I am currently 268 lbs and need to lose 118 to be where I should be. This number sounds so overwhelming to me but I know if I can just stay focused I can do it. I've lost a considerable amount of weight on diets before...Weight Watchers, Slimfast, but can never seem to keep it off. This time around I am praying it will be different. I look forward to reading this board and gaining inspiration and strength from all of you. I know I'm not alone and we can all help each other. I will keep you posted on my success.....here's to a new beginning...good luck everyone!
