Started mfp 12/6/07 @ 258
Last check-in 3/15 235
APRIL 1st 231
Lost 4 lbs!
27 lbs down lots to go
This is actually my weigh in from 2 days ago because I am now on vacation and do not have access to a scale (don't really want one anyway) although I feel as if I am still doing okay down here eating semi-healthy and definitely more energy spent just sightseeing and on the beach. I am actually looking foward to my next weigh in since I will be away from the scalE until at least the 12th

I started just over a week ago at 265. That was down from my high at Christmas of 273.
Today I weighed 260. Its a start.
My first goal is to get below 200, my second is 180, my third is 160 (Normal weight for my height) I think I would be happy at that and think hubby would too since that's only 5 lbs more than when we got married 14 years and 5 kids ago. Ultimate goal would be 145 (what I weighed when we were dating), That means I have to lose 115 more so I definitely qualify for this challenge, but I've got to keep in mind one pound at a time.0 -
Yahhh!!! Lots of new people. Definitely helps me when I know there are people in the same boat and I love to try to encourage other people. I am still keeping with my healthier vacation I don't even think twice about making a bad choice anymore I just check out the menu and pick one of the healthiest things I can find and that's my meal. Even at the cracker barrel restaurant I think I did great- grilled trout, green beans, coleslaw and mac and cheese (of which I only took a couple bites of). I find myself feeling soooo much happier after I know I didn't over-indulge. -Heather-

ok so it would not let me edit today but that is ok I am pretty upset with my weigh in any how.
I am up a half pound this week. I guess it makes me so angry cause I bust my rump in that pool every night. and now I know I have to work harder this week to make it to my June goal of a size 26.
Errr how frustrating!0 -
don't worry rayneenie... you are probably just building muscle... you dropped a lot last week and you are doing great and keeping up with your diet and exercise... scales are evil beings who delight in torturing us... don't let them win... keep it up and the weight will come off...
Here's a big hug for you and a pat on the back for a job well done...

I'll join in too.

Not bad, 2 lbs in just a few days! I've got a long way to go but I know I (and all of us) can do it!!
:happy:0 -
Ok, even though I am a commitment-phobe (New word!) I will join in here... If you guys can do it, so can I!
Started diet March 19, 2008 at 335lbs (highest weight ever, scary)
Started MFP April 2, 2008 at 331lbs.
My goal is to weigh around 160lbs... whenever I get there
Really, I'd be extremely happy with anything under 200

Hang in there Rayneenie. As long as you are consistent you will ultimately see results - the fluctuations are normal. I know its discouraging though. I weigh every day, but I only "count" the one on my scheduled weigh day. Make sure you are weighing the same time every day - makes a big difference for me. I quote from one of my kids favorite movies Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim, swim.":happy:0

I had an incredible dose of reality last week as my father (63) had a massive heart attack and subsequent triple bypass. He is doing well and is home now recovering.
HE ID NOT CONSULT A DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING HIS EXERCISE PROGRAM!!!! The warning is there for a reason! If you know that you have not lived the healthiest lifestyle (overweight, smoker, couch potato, high cholesterol) PLEASE I BEG YOU - GET YOUR HEART CHECKED!! I saw the results of DENIAL this week and it was not pretty. His cardiologists words to his family were "He dodged a bullet. " He stopped smoking 7 years ago, he is active, he was exercising but it was too little too late, if he had just had the right test he could have avoided a very scary situation.
thanks for listening!0 -
Heres my stats. I started dieting on 1/25/08 weighing in at 305 lbs
started mfp March 20th at 292 lbs
March 27th ..... 290 lbs
April 3rd .......... 288 lbs
I am averaging 2 lbs a week and im a happy with that. My weight goes up and down during the week so i try not to get discuraged if it looks like i gained a pound or what ever before my end of the week weigh in, it usually goes back down again. Before i started mfp i was only averageing a lil over a pound a week and that was starving myself. I am eating more healthy now and am acually liking my salad now . I have eaten out a couple times . You can eat out and still watch what you eat , just choose less fatning foods that arnt deep fried. I will edit this my once a week for my weight next is on the 10 th.0 -

Mar. 31 weigh in: 269 - 89 lbs to go
I can do this, I can do this, I can do this, I can do this :laugh:0 -

You are doing GREAT!!! Your progress looks a lot like mine did from early on. Trust me, all these 2-3 lbs losses (even with weeks of maintaining or whatever), will add up quick! I mean, WOW 18 lbs in a little over a month!!
I have posted this before but I figure I should post it here and there to help people to feel hope! My progress since September. As you can see, March sucked!!!! LOL!

Heres my stats. I started dieting on 1/25/08 weighing in at 305 lbs
started mfp March 20th at 292 lbs
March 27th ..... 290 lbs
April 3rd .......... 288 lbs
April 10th......... 286 lbs0 -
I started MFP January 4th weighing in at 274.5
now 4/10 I weigh 243.5
I've lost 31 lbs so far.
I'm averaging the 2 lbs a week that I'm shooting for....
some weeks more, some a little less, but it's averaging out to be 10 lbs a month!!
so with 84 lbs to go, I'm hoping and praying that in 8 months (I'll give myself up to a year), I'll be at my goal weight.
I haven't found anything like this website, anywhere, ever!! I'm forever grateful to Mike and the wonderful people I've met on MFP!!
