Motivated Mamma's Week 2 (Closed Goup)

I have to work tomorrow so I decided to weigh in today.

M/M 1st weigh in: 215.2
M/M Week 2: 213.4
Loss: 1.8lbs!!!!

I am so excited to say I have reached my first goal officially! I have lost 31.4 Pounds, I can't believe it!! I mean I can because I have worked hard for this but I am just so excited right now!! I was so nervous getting on the scale this morning, with the stress of work and adjusting I didn't know if I would lose this week. Thank you all for your support, you inspire me everyday to keep pushing myself!

SUPER-star!!!! You are awesome; way to go!

163bs! I LOST A LB THIS WEEK!

So happy, first time I've been under 164 which I reached 6 weeks ago!

Emotional challenege:
I helped come up with this challenge and I still had to think all week about my answer.
How will my life change? I will feel more confidenet in my clothes, I can wear any clothes that I like, not just ones that hide the poochy tummy I had. I love that I have never really looked my age, and now that I've lost the weight that I wanted (only 2 lbs to my goal), and started to focus more on strength training, it's only getting better!!!

I just have to say that I love your new profile picture; so beautiful!

Thank You, :blushing:

Evening ladies,
My name is Brandi i am 25 yrs old. I am not a momma yet but i hope to be in the near future. My main reason for wanting to lose weight is so that i will be a happier and healthier person when my child finally comes into my life. i want to carry my child in a healthy body and i want to be active with them while they are growing up.

You ladies are amazing and i can't wait to start this challenge with you tomorrow, i just have one slight problem, i don't know where to go. Do i post on here and will the challenge be in here or ids there somewhere else i need to be on,

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!
to all of you that i have lost lbs and reached their goals. as i said before you guys are doing great and i can't wait to be a part of this amazing, supportive group of ladies.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow.

Hi Brandi,
I can totally relate. 6 months before my hubby and I started trying to get pregnant I changed my whole diet. Gone was all the crap and in came all the healthy foods. I maintained that throughout my pregnancy and had a healthy beautiful little boy in July 2010. Then it all went to crap and I gained weight something fierce! It's easy to do it when we are preparing ourselves for the little ones we so desperately want. And now, he is again my motivation. I want to be able to run and play and set a healthy example so that hoepfully he won't suffer the weight/self confidence issues that both my hubby and I have. So glad you have joined us! Can't wait to get to know you better :flowerforyou:

Ehn, I'm not too worried-- I knew last week was a pretty big surprise!! I REALLY worked this week with my workouts too, between getting in extra walking and doing 30DS, so I'm actually looking to dial it back a bit this week. I'm fighting off some type of cold bug too, so I think probably a little rest is in order! This should be REALLY interesting with this week's emotional challenge!! Lol..

Woohoo!!!

Alright, so better late than never. No excuses, I apologize...havent been very loyal on the message boards lately. I will definitely be trying harder next week.
Emotional-I think that all around I will just be a happier and more joyful person. At my lowest, which was last summer before I got pregnant, my husband said, on more than one occasion that I seemed so much happier. I figured it was the nicer weather and the sun which was perking me up. But I've come to realize that it was more likely my feeling of wellbeing and general good health. Who was I kidding....I HATE the heat. And strangely enough, I wasn't my happy joyous 'summer' self this year. So I am looking forward to that, just a general happiness that is brought on by the fact that I feel good about myself.

Food challenge- I made the best spaghetti squash the other day. I always eat is as spaghetti, but this time put a white sauce on instead of a tomato based sauce. I had lots of onions, mushrooms, some corn. For the sauce I had non fat sour cream, some flour, no salt added chicken broth and some part skim mozza. It was tasty, and full of veggies! As for fruit, I have been munching on a lot of grapes lately, the sweet, crunchy ones. Yumm!

This weeks weight: 201.4
Loss this week: 2 lbs

WOW you are getting super close to saying goodbye to the 200's! Congrats!!

This week I managed to gain 2lbs! Well, not exerecising regularly + stress + not keeping up with my calories a few times= Weight.

This has just made me refocus, I felt sick to my stomach when I say that scale move up 2lbs:sick: and I don't like the feeling. I will be back on track this week, the past is done, I must Keep it moving:bigsmile:
