    How has the weekend been for everyone? Mine is winding down now and I'll be relaxing the rest of the day, ahhhhh. I had a great moment this morning though...while I was getting ready for church I tried on a shirt that I haven't worn in some time and it was baggy all over. So I tried on a medium and it fit very nicely! I had my husband take a picture of me this morning since it has been another 10 pounds since I took my last progress picture and I noticed I'm in dire need of a new bra. I'll pick one up this week after I take my measurements. I last took them March 23 so I'm anxious to see the results.

    Hi Everyone! I'm on a mission to lose 30 pounds in 90 days - who's with me?!

    Day 1 starts tomorrow, Monday, April 13th. We'll weight in and record our starting weights and will then weigh in each Monday after that to record our progress. Not only will we concentrate on losing weight, we will work to support each other on our journey to health. We'll share tips, recipes, and motivate each other to give it our all.

    To start off, here are some things to think about to set yourself up to succeed:

    Eat "Clean"
    The most important thing about staying healthy is to eat wholesome foods that I call "clean." These are unprocessed foods. Read the labels on your food. If there are all kinds of ingredients listed that your grandmother wouldn't recognize as food, then don't eat it. Fast foods and processed foods are loaded with hidden sugars and fats. Treat your body right and give it the kind of wholesome energy it needs to be healthy.

    Plan Ahead
    The most important thing you can do to lose weight is spend time planning what you are going to eat. Eating clean means you'll be doing a lot of your own meal preparation, because processed foods are full of ingredients that will undermine your progress, even if they are labeled as "diet" or "low calorie" or "low fat." Be in control of your food. If you have time to get a manicure, then you have time to grocery shop or prepare food. Each evening, prepare your lunch and snacks for the next day. If you get to a meal time and don't know what you're planning to eat, you are more likely to go off the plan and eat something convenient that is full of calories, fat and sugar. Take time for yourself. Make yourself and your food a priority. Plan ahead. It's the only way to make sure you stick to your diet.

    30 pounds in 90 days - we can do it!!!

    I know I am late, but I would like to join this Challenge. I have 80-100 pounds to lose, but I have an immediate goal of 30-40 pounds in 90 days as of today. I am getting married in Vegas on July 26th! I need to lose at least 30 pounds to fit comfortably and look hot in my dress, as it stands now you would nto catch me dead in it. So can I join in? Can someone catch me up with this week?

    Starting weight is 232 as of this morning. I am working on 3.33 pounds a week.

    Posting on Sunday again while I'm thinking about it! If I continue on this pace I'll end up at about 121 pounds by our ending date. My 30 pound goal would put me at 115, but either way I'll be thrilled!

    Starting weight 04/13/09: 145.0
    90 day goal: 115.0

    04/20/09: 143.2 (-1.8)

    Well, I have good news and bad news...

    My aunt called last week to let us know she's OFFICIALLY CANCER FREE! And off of all the medication she's been on for the last 5+ years. That was the great news. The bad news is she wanted to go and celebrate at her local pub.

    We all ate terribly, I had a plate of fish and chips as well as some deep fried shrimp and scallops and two beers. I entered it all into my food diary, cringing the entire time, and figure I ate about 2000 for the day, which isn't too bad.

    Ah well. I'm realizing that I indulge far too much, even though I'm eating really well through the week, something usually comes up and I want to enjoy myself. I'm still losing weight, just very slowly. This week will be better.

    That is wonderful news on your aunt's behalf! :heart:

    As long as your losing and not gaining your doing a great job. Maybe if you can the day after you eat a lot of calories that you didn't want to then work out hard the next day with lots of cardio... Your on the right track so that is very good... keep it up girl! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    Well, right after this message I went out for a long walk to burn some calories, and I asked my parents to let me make dinner tonight, healthy stir fry, instead of my mom doing it. Managed to keep my calories low, burn off some, and drink lots of water to get the salt out, and I'm feeling terrific. Thanks for the motivation!!!

    I have a question for you guys.... Are you also taking body measurements too? If so how often? I started the same day the challange started and plan to do it every two weeks... So tomorrow I hope to see some inches lost! :wink:

    I took my measurements at the beginning of April when I started dieting, when I was 164 pounds. I'll measure again at the beginning of May. I don't think there is much change, but I'll let you know!

    I didn't even notice that she did... that's weird... I just hope everyone else that has joined decides to still stick with it! We are all here for each other so let's keep motivated and stay focused because summer is around the corner....

    Hey ladies, I'm not weighing in until Tuesday again, but I have great news. I bought a Polar F6 from Sports Authority and I am in love. I burned 650 cals. yesterday and 661cals today. That included about 80minutes on the treadmill and 5 ,10 minute solution session on my 2 DVD's. I can't wait to weigh in on Tuesday morning. Have a blessed week and thank you for just being here to listen. WHo needs a weight watchers meeting when you have friends right here!:flowerforyou:

    Happy birthday, Brandiann!

    I am doing measurements once a month. The last time I took them was actually March 23 and I'll be taking them again on May 1. I'm pretty excited to see how much I've shrunk in that time.

    Turtle, yay on the Polar F6! Highly jealous here :tongue:

    Hi- I'm two weeks late but would love to join the challenge if I still can.
    This is my first posting ever and therefore first "group" that I'm joining since being a member on here in Jan.
    I live in Jakarta, Indonesia so I'll be a day ahead weighing in, but if that's okay with all of you, I'd still like to do it; I need the motivation and support if I'm going to continue this.
    Please feel free to talk about anything with me.

    Have a great week!

    April 27th - 187 pounds
