    Hello, hope I at least lost a pound when I weigh in tomorrow. Haven't been hitting the gym, but have been trying to keep up the walking for this challenge. Eating habits have not been too great at all, so I am going to challenge myself to step it up next week. Sister is doing ok, still healing so I think in about a week we will start walking on the trail behind her house for a start. Drank all my water.

    not the best, but I had family from out of town staying with me, and didn't really exercise or eat that well. I need to get back on track this week!!

    I AM HERE!! I was suggested to come here by Momma2four (Thanks! :flowerforyou:). Here I am, and I cannot "weight" to weigh next Friday, I just weighed yesterday, so I need to wait until next week. My SW was 281, my CW is 271, and my GW is 250 by 12/31/2009 @ 11:59 p.m., so I can start the new year right. :smile:

    I want to join your group! I am currently working with a nutritionist and heading to the lap band in December. When my boys started school on Monday I started at the YMCA. My goal is to do some sort of exercise everyday. I work out of my home as a graphic designer & tend to eat when stressed. I do not have a supportive husband in the matter as he has a drinking problem. I will be 40 in April '10 & do not want to spend the rest of my life in a size 24! I was not heavy until about 15 years ago. I know what I need to do to lose the weight I just have real issues with will power and support. Any help will be greatly appreciated! I am in WV, 245 lbs., 5-4" and miserable!

    CW 245
    GW 160

    Weigh in: 210.2 (I didn't realize how much my TOM changed my weight last week!)

    That means I hit goal #1, and am REALLY close to goal 2 - no longer obese! Halfway done with my overall goal - be heatlhy by my BMI! :D

    I'll shoot for 30 lbs by the end of the year. Too many food oriented holidays coming up. :tongue:

    My goal for the end of the year will be 35 pounds. As far as the challenges, I like what we were doing, having the biggest loser of the week (at weigh in on Friday) pick the next weeks challenge.

    cw - 250, went up 6lbs in the last week:explode: :explode: :explode: :explode: , I don't know what happened but not very happy with myself. didn't get as much exercise as I should, but I didn't eat that bad.

    gw - 160

    I have decided to make a goal for myself for the next couple of weeks to be really good at eating and to make sure to have my meals planned so I don't have any excuses to go out.

    I hope everybody is have a good morning and will have a good weekend!!! :flowerforyou:

    Thanks, I am back from the school and she was so proud. She got a medal and I asked if she wanted me to take it home. Noway, she wants to wear it all day.:smile:

    trikstar, I asked how tall you were because I have to weigh 163 to get out of obese range, :huh: I noticed that you were already almost out of the obese range. I guess my problem is not weight it is my height:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Thanks, Andrea. :D

    Momma - yeah, height is on my side in this case. :D I am about 2 lbs from being "overweight" instead of obese. (SO excited about this...!) and soooooooo close to being under 200 I can freaking see it. :D I'm not letting anything mess this up. I've come way too far. I can't even remember the last time I weighed less than 200. It has to have been at LEAST 10 years ago.

    OK ladies, I am having problems again. I am a yo yo when it comes to weight loss and gain..when i get into the grind I get down and exercise like 4 times a week and the weight comes right off me..then I get into the state I am in right now...laziness. I don't know why but I just stop, and my weight loss of course comes to a halt, no weight gain right now but no loss what so ever.

    I am going to make a small goal to try to get into the gym once this week, and on two other days do some sort of activity...just to get back on track again. Any suggestions friends?


    Andrea
