Well Ladies, I think a lot of us are losing motivation (including myself) We seemed to have gone down to 3!

llievengood - 16 points (but you only logged in 3 days)
me - 30 points
losinmama - A whopping 64 points becuase you log in everday and work out like a feind!!!

I've lost a bit of weight although I;m doing something right cause I'm losing inches. Which I know is better than weight but the scale has such a pschological effect.

We're almost done ladies!!! STRONG and BEAUTIFUL

    Well, I am back from vacation and ready to get back on track!! Even though it was hard for me to log my calories and exercise on my trip, I weighed myself for the first time this morning and I have lost 2 pounds!!! I am so shocked! So I am once again motivated to get back on track. I have a new heart rate monitor so tonight I will be able to acurately tell how many calories I burn during my class. I am hoping to go every night this week to get back into a routine. I have not measured myself yet but I will try to do that tonight.

    So it is good to be back in MFP-land...Let's keep it up girls!!! :happy:

    OMG! Congrats Ali!! That's awesome to lose on vacation! Well done!

    I'm SUPER proud of myself for doing so well this week AND on top of that I lost 3lbs. I weighed in this morning at 184. WoooT!

    Keep up the awesome work...and stay focused. We can do this!! Tracking EVERYTHING is what has made this process easier for me. That and this group have seriously motivated me. I love seeing my number of points go up.

    Here's to another great week ladies!

    Wow, great job with the weigh-in today girls!!!!! I am sad to report that I gained .6 lbs since last week. :( This is getting really tough for me, because my body is at a weight that's comfortable (my "happy" weight). I wanted to push myself down to 125, but I know that will be practically impossible to maintain for my body type. BUT, I'm not giving up trying to get there. I haven't made time for exercise and I won't bother to make any excuses for that!!! You guys are giving me fresh motivation!!!

    Livengood - I just looked on your profile that you have a 5k in August? DId you do it...are you going to do it? Just curious because my first 5k race is in September and I'm so excited and freaking proud of myself. C25k is a Godsend, seriously - I never would have dreamed even in my wildest imaginings that I would be running a 5k, and now I do it 3 times a week!

    Losin Mama- I did not end up doing that race...my husband ( and running partner) hurt his knee so running has been put on the backburner for us for a little while. I did work myself up to 3 miles, so if I don't do 5k soon, I will be very mad at myself in the long run!!! I'm with you- I NEVER thought I'd be able to do something like that. Before a few months ago, I thought it'd be impossible for me to run a mile! Congrats. It feels great, huh? :)

    It really is an amazing feeling to be able to conquer something like running. I actually really like it and it makes me so happy when I shave some time off the run. Its ridiculously rewarding!

    So I've been going to a nutritionist and seriously - this lady rocks and I'm super excited with my progress. I've been eating handmade meals every day (I actually cook a lot when I have time and then take leftovers with me to work...its strangely easy which is suprising to me). My weight loss is amazing too...I mean take right now. I just started my womanly time and usually I gain between 1-5lbs of bloat...no bloat for me! This morning I was down to 181.8...I mean we'll have to see what my real weigh in is on Monday...but WOW! Eating clean really does make a difference...like HUGE difference. Crazy.

    Ok...I've been totally off track this week - no real excuse, just a bunch of lame ones ;(

    BUT, I am sooo happy to the rest of you. Seriously, I can sense the excitment and happiness coming through the screen!!! It's contagious. I will be back on for this week.

    I told you guys at the beginning...it's tough for me to maintain motivation. It my biggest battle. But I'll allow a slip, not a slide!

    Keep it up and I'll post week 5 tomorrow!!!!

    Well my weigh in today is official - 181lbs. I'm very excited and encouraged by my new losses and I'm hoping it continues at this rate with the help of my awesome nutritionist. We'll see! I really can't wait to break into the 170s...my wedding day weight was 175 so getting back to that would mean that I've finally lost my honeymoon/winter holiday weight (only took a freaking year). Although I think my inches are totally different (I think I'm a smaller size now then I was then though I can't really be sure unless I put my dress on again) Here's to another great week ladies!

    well, my weight is the same 213. I was hoping for a loss but at least it wasn't a gain...

    Good luck this week!!

    I miss everyone....hello? anyone? Beuller? Beuller?

    I was very proud of my run yesterday! It was week 8 day 1 of the C25k program (so only 5 more days left before I "graduate") and I totally rocked it! As far as I'm concerned I'm totally ready for my 5k on September 10th! I did the 5 minute warm up walk and then ran. That's it. I mean I literally ran the ENTIRE 3.2 mile loop around my house. No stopping - even up hills! So I literally ran for 47 minutes straight!! Yes I'm super slow...but still! So awesome!!!!

    Well even if I'm in this group by myself I'll keep posting. I hope everyone comes back...we've got 3 more days of week 5 and then we're on to the last week of the challenge! Maybe its time to save the best for last and make one final push for sensational changes!

    I went to my nutritionist this morning and she weighs me every time I go in so I thought I'd post the changes this morning since they're official and from a Dr's office. I weighed in at 178 which is pretty awesome. So a 14lb loss total since I started going to the nutritionist - so that's only 3 weeks!! Pretty awesome if you ask me. I'm excited to see what happens over the weekend since I've got a nice and unstressfull weekend planned. No special events or anything so I feel like I will do really well and Monday's weigh in on here will be even better! So here's to an awesome weekend (hurricane or no hurricane)!!
