    I weighed in exactly 1 pound less than last week. Not all that impressive, but considering I was almost certain I stayed the same or gained a few, I'll definitely take it! Gotta get better motivated this week and drink all my water! I'm so proud of my roomie! I won't spill the beans on her success because she should brag on herself, but she did a GREAT job this week! Go Heather! :flowerforyou:

    I'm not excited enough to do a happy dance - but congrats to those who are. I'll take any and all downward progress, so I'm happy to say I'm down another 0.5 pounds this week. I wonder if that will be a pattern?

    I'm going on a vacation with my kids for Spring Break next week, and I will not have a computer. Currently the plan is to just write down what I eat everyday in my journal (or daytimer), and then enter it all in when I get back. We're going to be doing a lot of beach going, playing, snorkeling, kayaking and touristy walking stuff - so I'm not too worried about not getting exercise. It's the vacation mentality of "relax, eat what you want, let go of calorie counting and have a great time" that has me the most concerned.

    wk1 183
    wk 2 178
    wk3 177.5
    wk4 175
    wk5 174.5

    Happy exercising everyone!

    Yay! I'm so excited!! I finally LOST!! it was only .5# but i feel so much better. I have run 4 miles every day this week and really watched my calories - as per my other post - sometimes too much! But I am feeling great with a ton of energy and I finally seem to not be so crabby with my kids - get those refined carbs out and see what it can do!!

    Hopefully next week will be EVEN BETTER!!!! :love:

    gained .8 but ate for a whole week a ridiculous amount, i was actually digusted by myself. had to take 8 antibiotics last night at once, so today im feeling really slugish and tired so im taking the day off. I will eat healthly tho, and tomorrow its back at the exercise

    congrats to everyone this week.

    I don't believe it...but I lost 3.5 pounds this week. I thought for sure that I would have gained this week with having a bad weekend and all.

    Good luck to everyone on this weeks weigh in.....

    Gotta go...my family and I are going for a walk.

    Hi,
    We went a couple of weeks ago and my goal was to maintain and try and not gain. I did do a little extra cardio about 4 of the days and I was successful in maintaining my weith that week which was my goal.
    You can do it if you just try not to over eat higher calorie foods. Also drink alllllllllll the water:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
    Have a great time with your family and god luck.

    Thanks Lynn - I think I'll be okay - I just like to write my worries out, so they're not swimming around in my head too much.

    Okay, so this might be TMI, but I peed like crazy today!!! I mean, like every 30 freakin' minutes. I'm just finishing out my TOM, and I'm pretty sure I was retaining water - so it seemed like all the 2L of water I drank yesterday, plus the 2L today, was coming out today. Just need a weirdness check on this. This is the first period I've had since I started using MFP and consistenly drinking the 2L of water a day. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Thanks,
    Kathryn

I am starting today just took my before pictures then you take more pictures every 30 days to see your progress as well as take measurements.

    So far this weekend has been great. I have been eating a ton (so it seems like) yet I've been good with my calories. I worked out twice yesterday just from boredom. My kids were away for the day with the hubby so maybe that's why.

    Hope everyone else has a great weekend!! :drinker:

    hello all my summer challenge friends! this weekend has been pretty great! stayed in my food range....worked out HARD yesterday, and took it a bit easier today. roomie and i went to the spa yesterday after killing ourselves at the gym for an hour and a half. it was an amazing day! just for grins, yesterday morning she got on the scale and saw that she was down a couple more pounds! yeay for her! so, i thought, "what the heck. ill get on too." this is something i never do. i always wait to thursday to get on the scale in the morning. anyway, got on and i was down another pound! woot! not going to put it on my ticker though. that is something i save for thursday! have a great palm sunday everyone!:heart:

    hello fellow summer 2009-ers!

    i hope everyone's weekend is going well! in general my weekend is going really well-i'm squeaking by under my calories (by planning ahead for the drinks involved this weekend :drinker: ).

    i had a wonderful moment in yoga this morning when i was looking in the mirror i noticed that my chubby legs were not longer touching all the way down from hips to kankles! my ankles are loosing weight! i may have to STOP calling them Kankles! there's actually space in between my legs from knees to ankles. i was so excited! (ok i still am :tongue: ).

    also i was trying to weigh my dog at the vet the other day, and the vets scale thinks her and i are 184 pounds, and that she is 30 pounds (by maths that would mean i am 154 pounds--which is 5 pounds less than my scale at home PLUS i had clothes on, which i normally do not--on the scale that is. i'm pretty sure i always wear clothes to the vet :laugh: ). i'm trying to figure out another place i'll be soon with a reliable scale (no doctor's appts coming up, no scale at yoga). . . i mean my scale i've had for 3 years and was $10 so how much can i trust it? :huh:

    anyways, happy palm sunday!

    today is already the 6th of april and my mini goal of reaching 134.4 by the 30th is not looking to realistic. I just want to get out of the 140's. This happened the last time too i was just stuck . The weather has changed its been great and im like i take the dog for walks this week to get my excersise back in and wouldnt you know its raining today! Its so hard once you havent been excersisng and logging calories to get back in. I know it benifts me i saw the difference atcually everyone has seen the difference :happy: but its like ldkfgnldknfldgf . Hope everyone else is doing great and had a good weekend. Heres one more week closer to summer.

    Good Monday morning all.

    I feel pretty good about the weekend. I worked out on Sunday and my knee isn't giving me any grief at all.

    My hubby went out to dinner Sunday night.
    I skipped the wine and had a fairly healthy meal and 2 bites of my hubby's dessert :bigsmile:
    The meal portion was bigger than I needed so I'll have to watch that next ime. :wink:

    I hope you all had a good weekend. :smile:
