  • So encouraging!!! Thanks for this :smile: My goal that I set for myself is drink only water, because I would drink anything else, but water:embarassed:
  • SW- 260.0
    01/07- 255.5
    01/14- 253.5

    Lost 2lbs this week, was hoping it might be a bit higher but that just gives me the incentive to work even harder this week. Good luck to everyone

    SW - 185 lbs.
    Wk 1 - 180 lbs.
    Wk 2 - 180lbs.

    Wk 4

    Unfortunately, I have been ill this week and didn't get to exercise like I wanted to, so I also didn't meet my mini goal, but I will try to look at the bright side, at least the scale didn't go backwards. Next week will be a much better week.

    I missed the post about Week 2 but found it here! Posted this on the week 1 thread I think, but reposted here. Thanks!

    Hi All!

    January 1st SW: 182.1

    January 7th Was out of town and didn't weigh in
    January 14th 180.3
    January 21
    January 28th

    Got more serious this week (week 2). I think with the support from MFP I'll continue as my boss had us share our goals for 2012 with everyone, and I chose to share my weight loss goals knowing that it would put added pressure on me to succeed!

    Since starting, I gave myself a goal of only 16 oz. of Mt. Dew per day as I was extremely addicted. WAS is the key word. As I started loggin every day and keeping a watchful mind on my intake, I didn't even have one yesterday...and I didn't even miss it. This week my mini goal will be to push myself to limit the Mt. Dew and add a day of exercise. Good luck everyone on their goals!

    A much harder week this week, worked out well but on few days only just under calories. Had a bit of illness which not sure if helped but this week lost 0.4 of a lb. Still a loss but hoped for more.

    Next week will be much better- I started today at the gym and also brought a new bike so tomorrow Im off on a bike ride.... all out for a successful weigh in next time, hope you all did well. x x

    I'm only down 1.5 lbs this week, I thought that I would do better than that but something is better than nothing! (:

    I haven't been doing so good on my soda mini-goal.BLAH! I failed on that! ):
    I've gotta lose like 5 lbs next week to makeup for this crappy week!

    SIGH! this is going to be a lot harder than what I thought It would be...

    10 lbs is a lot to lose in 1 month...don't get discouraged and fight hard this week. Try and replace the soda with something else, it's the habit you need to break. I have to do it at work.

    My mini goal is to watch my protein portions. I gave up my Pepsi and it was harder than I thought. Pepsi max is okay. It helped me quit entirely cause I made myself only have that when I wanted a regular Pepsi. Good luck to everyone!!!
  • Great week everyone!

    Well yuck, that's not the direction its supposed to be moving, but I finally got back into the exercising routine. Didn't realize how much I needed my endorphin fix, but go tin 5 1/2 miles on the ellipse this morning. So I'm ready to really buckle down and get the ball rolling, even though tis the 11th hour

    Mini goals love the idea. My mini goal: workout at least 5 days weekly any thing more will be a bonus.

    Cheers to all of us! I don't weigh. Just go by my clothes which are fitting looser.
