    I'd like to join in, too!

    I lost 70lbs in 2006 and gained most of it back in 2008. I binge at night BADLY and I have depression and emotionally eat regularly. I'm getting married on May 23rd so this group would be really helpful for me!

    CW: 180.8
    GW: I have no idea...way less than 180.8 I hope!

    Ok, I am the first to check in this morning.
    Beginning: 125.6
    Last week: 125.6
    Today 124.6

    I lost one pound! However,I was 124.6 on the 17th so I haven't lost anything since Tuesday and I worked out everyday! That is kinda disappointing :ohwell:

    Checking in...
    Down only .6 and am kinda bummed. This is the first time in 8 weeks that I have lost less than a lb. I know it is still a loss...so I know you will say that. But it is a let down. But I also know that we ate differently this week...too many servings of pasta, potatoes or rice. So I am back to once a week on those trigger foods.

    Last Week 214.2
    This week 213.6

    Have a great Saturday and a super week!

    Checking in:

    Last Week: 130.0
    Today: 127.8

    This week was good, but I have a feeling that next week will be a challenge, especially since I have been losing weight so quickly. I am gonna have to make a point to be extra strict with my diet to stay on point. Congratulations on everyone's success. Just keep looking forward to May 15th!

    Hi my name is Zoe, hope its not too late to join
    today 354 #'s

    Have been on MFP, have only lost about 5 pounds, seems like I'm on a roller coaster, and cant get off

    About 8 years ago, I lost 120 #'s, with Weight Watchers, I gained it back in less than a year, I had alot of stress I was working through, and I dont think WW really taught me portion controls...

    So a weekly weigh in would be great for me

    So does this group have a name??????

    My goal is to be at 200 #'s in a year

    Checking in! (I weigh in on sundays)
    Last week: 144.4
    This week: 143.5
    Almost a full pound:happy:
    Hopefully I won't gain anything this week, I'm starting midterms which usually equals a lot of caffeine and stress. We should def come up with a name for the group so it's easier to find! good luck to everyone this week!

    Just create another one (tickerfactory.com has alot of choices) & cut & paste it into your SIGNATURE at your SETTINGS tab. Just be sure not to lose your MFP ticker!! :bigsmile:
