Good Morning,
Great job Maggie! Thanks for letting me know about this website!!! Its pretty cool.

Call me computer challenged...but how do you insert those neat looking tickers?? :huh:
I know it says to copy and paste but copy and paste where?

Great job to those who had weight loss this past week! Hang in there for those of who did not.

What is your mini goal for today? Mine is to avoid the mindless snacking I have been doing lately between the hours of 3 and 4 and then again at 8-9 at night. For some reason those time frames seem to be my down fall. Also to drink extra water today.

Updating for the week.

Start Date July 15 Starting weight 303
Week 1 July 22 - 300.4 down 2.6 I'll take it!
Week 2 July 29 – 300.4 No loss but after camping last weekend I’m surprised I didn’t gain. Hopefully next week will show a loss.

Week 3 August 5 - 299.6 -.8 lost really been struggling. Still trying though.
Week 4 August 12 – 296 -3.6 woohoo!!!!!:noway:

FINALLY!!!!!! After 5 weeks of plateau I'm finally down a pound, and I'm never looking back. I like it here in the 150's! :happy:

Everyone here is working so hard. You are all beautiful and oh so motivating!

Well, looks like I enjoyed my vacation a little too much. Dang it!! Also it's almost TOM so that probably doesn't help. I am not liking these numbers but I have to be honest and be accountable for my actions, that's what got me here in the first place, right? Any way, here it goes. I gained 8.6lbs back and have lost 2 of those just this week alone (probably water weight and the other 6.6 are actual pounds :mad: )
But I am back on track and hopefully it won't take too long to lose them again!!

Congrats to everyone that is doing so well. I am so proud of all of you!! Keep up the good work!

At this rate, I won't lose 20 lbs by Christmas. I'll be lucky if I lose 5. In fact, at the beginning of this week, I had gained all the weight since I started. So I can't tell if I'm really losing weight (all 1 1/2 lbs for the month:noway: ) or I'm just looking at natural water/TOM gains and losses and I've really done nothing over the month. I guess all I can do is double my efforts. Just a little disappointed.

Start Date July 15 - Starting weight 140 lbs.
Week 1 July 22 - 139.5 lbs (-.5)
Week 2 July 29 - 137.5 lbs (-2) (-2.5 total)
Week 3 August 5 - 137.5 lbs (nothing this week)
Week 4 August 12 - 138.5 lbs (-1.5 total) :grumble:
Week 5 August 19 -

Week 23 December 23 Christmas Eve is Tomorrow!
My goal is to lose 20 lbs. by Christmas to bring me down to 120 lbs. But I'll be happy at 125 (I'm short and very small framed). If I meet my goal, I'll go shopping for myself at all the after-Christmas sales!!! I'll probably do it anyway, but I won't feel guilty about it; it will be my reward.... hmmm what should I get, maybe a smoking hot outfit for New Years Eve?
