So I lost 2 ounces since last week... and why is this a victory for me? Well, considering that I only walk 3 days instead of 4 AND we have had 2 birthday parties for my daughter AND all this darn Easter Candy around....I was just glad I did not gain this week! So onward from here! My goal is to walk at least 40 minutes 4 times this week and also get 2 classes of zumba in. In all honesty, I will probably have some candy everyday until all this stuff is gone, but I am still shooting for losing maybe a pound this coming week!
May the odd be ever in our favor! LOL

When i got on the scale yesterday, it was down 1.2lbs. But then again, I had a good Easter Sunday meal...so i'm going to say I didn't lose any this week and try again for next week!
Goal is to be in the 150s by Memorial Day!0 -

So yeah, I gained 2LBS...... not a great weekend and no one to blame but me. And yes I have a sugar hangover from jelly beans. I appreciate that my plateau is my body adjusting but it hasn't helped me keep motivated. I work hard, eat well and no loss on the scale or tape measure. Now I feel miserable and bloated. This is a very good reminder of how I used to feel, the thought of easter candy makes me nauseous. Sweets are a huge trigger for me, and now that I don't have the consequence of a gallbladder attack as punishment I have found myself slipping more.
Congrats to all that have lost because of you I can move forward and get back on track. You all are an inspiration!0 -

Greetings.
Must say that I'm not really happy to admit, this is the first weigh in that I haven't lost...
It was after Easter Sunday and I had a piece of ham and some salted tortilla chips - awoke with tremendous thirst -
know I must have been retaining water. I've been on a low sodium diet. So... the salty foods are not ideal.
I started on 2/1/12 at 176 - I'm 5ft 6inches tall.
On 4/1/12 I was down to 156
On 4/6/12 I was down to 155
This morning, on 4/9/12 I was back up to 156...
Still showing a 20 pound loss - but I want to see the scale keep going down.
My original goal weight was 150. I'm thinking 140 is probably more realistic to really rid my body the
excess baggage.0 -
So I am at the end of day 1 of the challenge - I noticed that after reading the other post, everyone is posting how much they weigh and I have kinda shy away from that. But I guess, if I'm all in, I need to be "all in".
Last Week's weight: 252.4
Today's Weight: 252.2
There - I did it. (deep breaths!)
Okay, at the end of day 1, I did meet my goal and I walked 61 minutes! (goal was 40!) I also planned out my meals for the week and went grocery shopping accordingly. Now, to stick to my meal plan! I will be the first to admit I am a sugar-aholic. I have a very big sweet tooth and trying to tame it is hard! I added lime to my water today. Just what I needed for a change from just water and it was good too!0 -
I wish the Easter bunny would hop his *kitten* back to my house and take back this candy0
-
Cobehale- WOO HOO! That is GREAT you hit the 2's I am so happy for you!!!! Keep up the fabulous work!!!
And I agree the Easter Bunny needs to get this candy out!!!!! Oh my gosh I mean really????
I am so proud all of you are my friends and are rocking this challenge!!!0 -
Well, I was hoping to get on here earlier today!!! Been going since 6am and am just finally getting home after working my 2 jobs for the day!!! SHEW!!! Well first of all congrats to everyone for all the hard work. Keep it up!!!!! I am so glad to be a part of this wonderful group. You are all so amazing!!! Well, here goes nothing.
My starting weight: 237
My weight on 3/29: 211
My weight on 4/2 205
My weight today 4/9 199.7
The weight I would like to be by Memorial Day would be 175. We will see, but I will be happy with any loss. Happy that Easter is over, so I can get back into my daily routine again. It's funny how the little things can throw you out of whack!!!!0 -
slleeper - congrats on making it one-derland !0

I am so proud of myself! I have knocked day 2 out of the water today! I felt really good when I got up this morning so I walked for 51 minutes before I ever got ready for work (and still made it to work on time!). Tonight was Zumba night so I did that too. When all was said and done, according to my pedometer, I did 100 minutes of aerobic exercising today totaling 815 calories burned! I can't tell you how happy I am about this!
Just had to share! 0 -
Hi everyone-
This is my first post to the challenge. I, too, am among those fortunate enough to have met Walkmypantsoff through MFP, and I appreciate her putting out this challenge.
So, my goal is to lose 6 lbs by Memorial Day, which would get me to the upper range of my goal weight. I want to weigh between 142-147. At one time I weighed 189, and at one time I weighed 142 (actually twice, the first time I was 9!)
It may not seem like much to lose, but I've been finding it hard to move downward, and I have an eating disorder in my history. You look like an awesome little group, and I'm glad to be among you.
