Sorry that I missed weigh in this week. My 20th High School reunion was this last weekend. We stayed out all night and brought in the dawn Friday and Saturday nights. One of the best weekends I've had in a long time. I managed to not gain any weight and I drank a LOT this weekend. I have been stuck at 138 for at least 5 weeks. My goal for the first day of Fall is 130, but I will be happy if I reach 135. I will be having a breast lift in July and a tummy tuck in September. So, I expect some set backs, since I can't work out while I recover from surgery.


I will try to recruit some more friends to this challenge.

For those who have just joined the group, a little bit about where I am...

I started my weight loss journey at 205 lbs. At my highest (non-pregnancy) weight, I was around 215.
During our Valentines Challenge, I did extremely well! I met my goal and even my revised goal (just squeaked under).
Our next challenge (Sexy for Summer) was a complete failure. I gained almost 10 lbs. I completely stopped exercising, logged less and less and quit caring as much about what I was eating.

My husband and I have always said that we would enjoy ourselves if we wanted to (he has lost 85lbs on his journey). I went a little overboard. For the first time in a very long time, I feel fat again.
I need to reign myself in and get this under control again!

My strength is my water consumption. Rarely do I drink LESS than 9 cups of water a day. Usually it's closer to the 15 mark (although, I don't always log my water).

My weakness('s)...right now, everything else. I don't have the willpower that I used to. I snack too much and too often. I don't exercise. I own a treadmill, EA Sports Active 2 for the PS3, Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum for the Wii and a Yoga for Beginners DVD that I love...there is no excuse!

My husband is incredibly supportive and so are my friends, both on here and at home. I'm hoping, along with your motivation and support, I can get back down to 155 and find a routine to help me stay there!

My goal for the upcoming week, exercise 2-3 times. I know that it may seem like a pretty easy goal, but I need to develop a habit. Take baby steps and celebrate every victory! I believe this will help me maintain my motivation.

Good luck to all of us!
