    Down another pound, which means that I've reached my goal... In 2 months I've lost a total of 16 pounds!!! I'll finish posting later; I have to take my girls to a doctor's appointment...

    Down 3 lbs from 192 to189! I am so excited. I am not longer a 190. Glad everyone is having a good week so far!

    Okay... I'm baaaa-aaack!!! Both my kids are sick, so it's been kinda crazy... I managed to get a weight-lifting workout in this morning before everyone was awake, though. And last night at volleyball I burned 1142 calories!!!

    I updated some photos, as promised. The light blue shirt photo is at three weeks, the dark blue shirt is at 8 weeks. Hopefully you all can see a difference!!!

    Thanks, guys!!! I think you all are amazing, and I appreciate all the nice comments. When I looked back at the pics, I was really surprised! I hate pictures, and have hidden from them forever. I think now that I've had some progress, I'll start doing it more often!!!

    Christine, you are awesome!!! I knew you'd kick butt this week!!! Your hubby is going to be blown away!!!

    Everyone's doing such a great job, and I'm so proud of our group!!! I've seen other groups start to peter out after a couple of weeks, but we have been going strong for 2 whole months!!! I would really love to add up all of our weight loss, and see how much we've lost together in the last 8 weeks... The numbers would be HUGE!!!

    Awww... Thanks, Dave!!!:blushing:
  • Ok so I saw Resa's post and did some investigating and the grand total so far is..................................

    123 pounds in 2 months from everybody. You do of course realize that's a person. We just lost my other sister (petite little thing you just wanna punch her:laugh: ).

    I agree your new pics are great!

    BTW -- In times gone by the comments have been made that we were dwindling down and only a few people were posting. Well after going back to get everyone's weights, it's been that way for quite some time now and I think we'll be fine:bigsmile: . Since like week 2, I think we'll still be here for the long haul.:laugh:
  • I maintained this week.

    Kacee-Oh fearless leader, what would we do without you?! We need to send you a cape, because after taking care of kids, hubby, cows, calves, and everything in-between, I can't BELIEVE you found the time to figure out our weight-loss!!! When do you sleep?!!:drinker:

    123 pounds is a HUGE number!!! I wonder if that's including Livi's weight loss, too? Where's our Mister Sister?!!! I want to know how he's been with his contest at work.

    I have volleyball tonight, and am doing a weight lifting workout for P90X. I have been hemming and hawing about doing couch to 5K, and my Beach Body coach has helped me work out a schedule so I can do it... I've even bought an expensive, nice pair of running shoes so there's no backing out now!!!

    are you serious 123 pounds? :noway: how many people did you add up? and how many are still part of our group (my mother is she just comes on once a week to post cause lifes gotten a bit busy) but i seem to see a few consistent posters so curious how many of us our left.


    123 thats insane and incredible :flowerforyou: go us

    slow and steady remember
  • I am proud of my daughter :smooched: :bigsmile: and I want to thank all of you for being there :flowerforyou: .

    I lost nothing this week.:cry: I know I should be happy that I haven't gained but it's not easy for me to see that dial on the scale not budging at all. :grumble: I'm really being good, none of my bad habits have resurfaced yet, no bad food snacking, eating good protein, little if any cheese, except for cottage cheese.

    I have been eating three healthy meals a day and excercising too, cardio and weight training. The :devil: in me is whispering to cut back on the carbs, even though they are all whole grain. I've been drinking lots too. I'm wondering if I just can't handle 1,200 calories. I'm wondering what the heck is going on here?:sad:

    Ri, this takes slow and steady to a whole 'nother dimension..LOL

    As for all...123 lbs is huge..I'm glad everyone is doing so well, and at least I haven't gained anything..I hope next week things are different for me. Thanks y'all

    Congrats! Plateau's can be very hard to get through. Lots of people give up but you stayed strong and made it.

    I can't weigh in yet this week. Our friendly competition at work is over and so there is no more scale here - I need to go buy a new one! But... I can say that my jeans fit better (put them on yesterday and was pleasantly surprised!). I'll post my weight loss (how's that for optimism) as soon as I go out and buy a scale!

    Congrats on everyone's weight loss and maintaining!

    Jen

    ps: Resa & Pepa - love the new pics!

    Don't lose heart!!! I know that we will continue to do well, and that includes you!!! Maybe you're not eating enough calories... Try adding in a snack or two, and see if that helps...

    Oopps, double post...
  • Great job everyone this wk!

    123 lbs is a huge accomplishment in only a few months :drinker:

    I can only imagine what those number will be like in a few more :happy: Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:
  • So now with Lucky's the total is 125!!!!
    To answer the question, I just took all the posts and added them together. Some people started the site before the group, so I just began counting when the group started.

    Resa -- when you said I juggle kids, house, hubby and animals, let's just clarify that. I'm not nearly the super-woman you make it sound. Kids is only one, and she takes good naps.:laugh: So we get quite a bit of work done during those times, and if necessary the neighbor sits for a while. Sometimes she comes with us to check cows, she likes car rides anyway. House? Well I'll admit, I haven't been up on things like I was, the dishes might have to sit for a day or 2 (no dishwasher), but we're using mostly paper plates anyway. The laundry is a grab and go kind of thing. I have a few baskets that need to be folded, but let's face it, I've always hated that. :laugh: Hubby? whatever. :laugh: :laugh: And well, we know the story on the animals.:wink: The next few days will be busy. We haven't been able to tag calves in a few days (can't in cold weather cuz it messes up their ears, hurts, and doesn't heal right) so now we have something like 30 to do all at once!:noway:
    I haven't been able to make myself make time to exercise, so I try to get all the physical activity I can in throughout the day. Today I helped wrestle a 500+ lbs. tractor tire back on:grumble: . Then I loaded 50 lbs. mineral onto the truck and helped unload 250 lbs. feeder tubs. I try to make an effort and jog to gates instead of walk , or jog to the barn instead of taking the 4 wheeler. I feel like it's enough to at least maintain, so far it's worked, I guess we'll see.:wink:
    Jen -- the friendly competition at work, how did you do in it?
