    Wow LeoBaby. That is a great loss! I am down 1.2 and am ok with that. I feel like maybe I am going to break through this last 15 lbs this time! I excersize so much - just did a 5 mile run and some ab work. I am sure I could do more but not sure when to fit in more! So it has to be about the food. I am trying to eat more clean...mostly lean protein, fruits and veggies. I did it all week and it was great. Yesterday i went to a family function and blew it! It is amazing after this life change for me... having maintained my 90 lb weight loss for over 4 years the control the food still has! Unfortunately I think it always will. So today I start over trying to make better choices because after all the mac n cheese, rolls, cake, etc, etc I had yesterday I felt terrible and that is the feeling I have to remember the next time food gets in the way!

    Hope everyone else had a great week! And I am more committed this week!

    Great job everyone! I hate to be the odd one out, thus far, but I GAINED a pound at 0.2! :sad: Guess it's because I was so busy and stressed about Steven (my brother) leaving for his business trip today. :frown:

    Well thank you AScarbrough19!

    So you lost 90 lbd already? Wow, talk about achievement! Congratulations girl!

    My coworkers probably haven't noticed the loss, but I sure do! Clothes fit better and I already feel prettier :) I have an apple shape (legs don't gain or lose weight - or not much) so my pants and bra are the first to notice if I'm losing weight. I feel great and ready to tackle this goal! I wanna loss 40pounds by next october, and if I get there before that, I want to STILL be in that weight by october LOL!

    I think we sometimes when reached a weight goal, let ourselves fall into bad habits again. Well not this time! I will target my weight loss goals and after that, I will make a goal of not gaining weight again :) Ever.

    Great job everyone!! I thought I'd see a gain this week, but I actually lost a pound! I'm down 70lbs from my highest and I'm not quite at goal, but the past few months have been a real struggle. Challenges like this definitely help me to stay on track though;)

    I'd love to join! I realize I am a week late in joining but better late than never! My heaviest was 205. Over two summers I lost 25lbs without really trying. I pretty much maintained the 180lbs until I recently gained 5lbs. I really need to drop some poundage! I've been slacking off in my workouts and healthy eating habits for the past few months which really needs to stop. I need this challenge so here I go.

    I'm glad to see everyone weighing in today and posting their weights :D Anyone is welcome to join at any point during the challenge, just make sure your goal weight is attainable!

    I did have a pretty good loss of 3 pounds this week. However, on Friday and Saturday, I was 176.6 both mornings, but I had a little mini binge Saturday morning. But I'm still happy I can record a loss. :)

    I think it would be great to have pictures of us starting the challenge and post it with an after picture when the challenge ends :)

    I'm willing to post mine anyway, who's with me?

    I wanna be one of those "WOW" stories too! :D

    I am in on the picture idea. I will be starting the 30 DS soon and I want to see those results also.

    I'm late posting but did weigh in on time! (Can't figure out doing this on the phone app). I lost three pounds last week which was a big surprise as I had a major red day on the chart last week where I just gave in and attacked a box of chocolate biscuits. Seems from the scale the victory was all mine though - take that cadburys!! Glad to see others doing well too :)

    @CherokeeTopaz: Everyone is welcome! :) Just add your name and info to the chart, weigh-ins are on Mondays :)


    And I just wanted to come clean about something going on with me right now. The past two days, my eating has been horrible. Yesterday it was fine during the day, but I overate last night. And today has just been horrible overall. I just need some good thoughts and hopefully tomorrow will be better.. thankfully it's not to late in the week to get a decent loss by Monday!
