    Hi Everyone,

    I dont get it! I weighed myself on Thursday and had lost 2lbs...and than I weighed myself today and I only lost 1 lb since last week. I think I ate too much this weekend. :mad:

    Starting Weight 180lbs
    04/20/09: 178lbs (-2)
    04/27/09: 176lbs (-2)
    05/04/09: 175lbs (-1)

    Final weigh in 07/12/09
    Total Weight Loss to date: 5lbs

    I need some help....I know that I have been eating well and exercising. This is esentially the safest and healthiest way to loose and keep weight off. But ...I need to cheat just for this week. I have a competition with my family on who looses the most weight...so far everyone has lost 10lbs-12lbs. Since April 10th....and I have only lost 7lbs. The goal is to loose 15lbs or whomever comes the closest. Can someone please let me know how I can loose 5 to 6 pounds fast. I am willing to do anything.. This would only be temporary.

    Great job on the 1 lb loss! :drinker: Your doing a great job... The only thing I can suggest that may help is cut out carbs for that short period of time. Then when your competition is over make sure to include them again.

    Happy Monday. I am going to try and stay positive I got woke up at 3 am by one of the kids who had a bad dream. Never fell back to sleep before the alarm went off. Everything is harder when I do not get enough sleep. Hope all had a great weekend.

    04/27/09: 186 bad bad week, felt so run down that working out did not happen as much as wanted. Pizza Friday night out for anniversary last night ( of course my husband picked an Italian place for dinner)

    I started phase 1 of the South Beach Diet today Looking back at my food diary I can see I have been eating a lot of carbs....I was staying in my calorie counts but am really stalled. I have done Atkins but found it too restrictive to make it a lifestyle. Hoping I can find that lifestyle with South Beach because I do not want to count calories the rest of my life. I would also like to not worry about how many calroies I burned during a workout. I just want to work out and be proud that I did it.

    Sorry to hear that you didn't finish your beauty sleep. :flowerforyou: I am really proud that you are back on track and doing a great job. :drinker: :bigsmile: Keep it up girl you are worth it!. Good luck with the South Beach Diet also...

    OK so I definitely have to start over this week. Finals have really screwed me up! I haven't been properly dieting the past 2 weeks and haven't worked out any. I didn't make my mini goal for the island trip, but I did take pictures so I could start to measure my progress. Don't make fun. It's far from where I want to be. So... today I'm starting over.

    4/13/09 153 (starting weight)
    4/20/09 150.8 (-2.2)
    4/29/09 147.8 (-3)
    05/04/09: 148.8 (+1) :(

    Final weigh in 07/12/09:

    I did already eat breakfast this morning though so maybe I didn't gain a whole lb but we'll see tomorrow I guess. I really need to be down to 135 by July. We have my husband's work convention in Florida and then I'm in a wedding Aug 8. I don't want to be the fat girl!

    I know they have a lot of sodium but I like smart ones a lot. I usually eat those everyday for lunch so that I know exactly how many calories. For dinner I cook a healthy meal.
