    sounds like the perfect challenge for me - I have currently lost 80 pounds since 11/17/09. My goal is to hit 100 by the end of the year. So, 20 to-go. The scale has been bouncing around since I hit 80 so I really need to focus. I will have to get my measurements.

    BW - 242.5
    CW - 162.5

    Well, only down one pound to 223, however, that's pretty good considering I haven't had too much time to exercise and I have been surviving off of catered food while at training.

    I also recently started 30DS...!

    I weighed myself this morning, and I'm down 3lbs from yesterday! I ate a decent amount of salt over the last day or 2, so I think it was water weight?? Either way, I don't care, I'm thrilled!!!! Really this only means I'm back to my original "SW," but it also means that I'm moving in the right direction! :happy:

    Well I had a crappy eating weekend, bad cough so no exercising and hard time getting my water in. Lets hope for a better week so my weigh in on Friday will be exciting. :happy:

    I am back from Chicago where I gained officially 6 lbs. I am being the process of detoxing today. Hopefully, by weigh-in day, I will have lost the 6 lbs. :ohwell:

    Hope you all have a great week. I plan to start the 30 day slimdown today if anyone is interested. It incorporated her 3 DVDs, 30 DS, NMTZ and BFBM. I can post the schedule if anyone is interested.

    I think on easy days of the slimdown, I will do some C25K

    Peace :flowerforyou:

    I did pretty good this weekend. I did go to the fair yesterday and enjoy some fair food, but went on my speed walk last night to make up for it. :smile: I stepped on this scale this morning and was down another 2 pounds!!!! Hope it stays that way till Friday, official weigh in day :wink: This group has given me some new motivation!!!!

    My weekend was good! My daughter (who is also doing MFP) and her family were here. I stayed under my calories all weekend. The tough one will be this weekend. We are camping for 5 days with our three grandkids and our church family. No cell or internet service so I won't be on MFP. I need to do a good job of pre-planning all of my meals.

    Boy was I bad on Saturday! I didn't feel that well - hay fever - and ended up eating like a pig! Sunday was a little bit better but not much. I did do 30 minutes of Wii Zumba on Sunday but I usually like to go for a couple of really hard workouts on the weekend. It's going to be tough to take a pound off this week - still have to get rid of the half pound that I gained over the weekend!

    Last night I went for a bike ride, what I really need to do is run. I dread running, I was a cross country runner in high school and used to love it. In my junior year I started to hate it and haven't been able to enjoy running since. I haven't found any other exercise that has as much impact for me as running. I will have to lace them up a couple of times this week if I want to lose any weight. I have a wedding to go to on Saturday which will make it hard to get in a good workout that day too....

    Can't give up..my boyfriend keeps encouraging me and tellingme how much I am toning up and how good I look. Still a long way to go!

    madyncaden- You've had a tough week girl!! Glad you're feeling better now! I know I'm gonna be a wreck in a few weeks when my little one starts!!

    hallzz- I hate running too...soooooo much. it's an evil thing. LOL Glad you've got some support at home. That makes everything so much easier!!

    Renee-Have a great time camping! It's hard to worry about calories when you're camping. Just make good choices, and enjoy your time away!!

    Keep up the good work everyone!!!

    As for me- my food choices have been crap lately, I've gotta get my head in the game. Work has been sooo stinkin busy. (I run a hotel, so summer is always super busy for me) And at home we're trying to get ready to go on "vacation" for a week and the boy starts school the monday we return. Then a few days ago my HS choir teacher asked if I wanted to sing in a chorus onstage with Barry Manilow tomorrow!! How awesome, right?! So i've been trying to make that happen (it's about 3 hours from here.) Also I'm trying to finish a quilt for the boy before school starts...rriiiiiight, we'll see if that happens. LOL!

    I've updated the spreadsheet finally! Here's a link again- Great job everyone, keep it up!

    Ok I will start the weigh in this morning with bad news and hope that others can change the trend! I've been bad and gained a pound this week. I'm struggling to get beyond the 5 pound weight loss. I may need to go to more drastic diet and change my calorie goals for 2 lbs lost per week? Any advice is welcome.

    CW - 170. :explode:
