SW: 228 W2: 225 GW: 198

I'm interested! Just getting back at it. I want to lose 24 pounds in 12 weeks. More would be great!

Congrats to you! I just had my fifth at the end of June. I gained everything during the first half of my pregnancy and then stayed pretty much the same weight till the end. Maybe try upping your calories a bit? If you aren't eating enough, your body will hold on to everything to make sure the baby (and your body) is taken…

Great job!!

Only 4?! :( Sorry I didn't post a thread last week. Down .8 pounds this week.

Down 3.6 pounds this week! Yay!

I know that feeling all too well. Just finally made a break through this week. You may not make your original goal but set a new small one and see if you can get there :)

Weigh in for me today. The weekend was horrible and then was followed by a horrible week. I already know I gained and am right back up over 200. My husband is my own worst enemy when it comes to trying to eat properly. Its very frustrating since I have to cut down portion sizes and snacking...and its going to be a lifetime…

WickedStitch - Ugh TOM! Sigh I get to deal with that starting today or tomorrow. Sorry about the er trip. Kids. Gotta love them.

Ouch! Hope it heals quickly. Yay for the weight loss though!

Sorry you're having a hard time. I would definitely look up tdee (total daily energy expenditure) and bmr. Maybe you are not eating enough. Google a calculator for both and don't just rely on what mfp tells you. A good tdee calc is: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ use the "activity level" method. You should be eating…

I eat between 1700 and 1800 everyday. 5'5" and 199

Weigh in for me today. Was 203.4 last week and now 199.2. Wish I could say its a great loss but my starting weight was less that that. I'll take it though! Feeling so much more motivated than I was!

Sorry you were sick for over a week. We've been fighting colds and the stomach bug around here for awhile. Not fun! Hope your biggest loser challenge goes well. You'll have to keep us updated! Great job also on losing 5.8 already!

How is everyone else doing? I haven't been very good with MFP since February. Started back up Tuesday and have been doing great! Let's just hope the weekend doesn't send me in a spiral again. That seems to be the trend. I'm feeling very motivated and excited though so I know I can do great! I started running also. I've…

Went ahead and moved those who haven't weighed in since the beginning over to inactive. :( Sad to see the challenge isn't very active. I haven't been on much either. I'll start up a weekly weigh in thread and maybe we'll get more participating again instead of just imputing their weekly weight.

Moved members who haven't weighed in since the beginning to inactive list.

I think I got it fixed.

I've used this calculator (http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/) to figure tdee and then took off the 20%. I've found MFP to be very basic when it comes to calculating what you should be eating. It may seem high and you may gain a pound or two during the first few days but I've found it to be a great way to make those pounds…

My Plans: Take a walk each day Get up and move Limited alcohol Cut out soda Limit juice Limit snacking Eating more fruits and vegetables Drinking 1/2 my weight in ounces of water each day Goals: Lose 15 pounds by Halloween Stay on track

Hi! I'm Amy. I started back up on MFP after my fourth baby was born. He just turned one last Saturday. I slipped a bit at the end of February when my husband was put in the hospital for high blood pressure. I had been doing great up until that point with tracking calories and staying around my goal each day. Stress got the…

Agree! There are a few on here that have done GREAT!! Sadly not me either lol. We can do it! I know I NEED to stop making excuses. Its been a rough year but I've come to the realization that there's no reason to keep sulking about it. No matter how rough life gets, I want to get healthy. It's been a year that my little one…

Thank you for updating! Just realized I either missed another weigh in besides last week or just forgot to update the spreadsheet. :/ Whoops! lol

Yikes! I'm up a pound from the beginning of the challenge. :( It's been a rough 10 weeks!

I'll join in. Probably won't be very active till July but I'll still weigh in. I'm so over trying to get moved. Blah! Its really got me down lately. Once we're moved though I'm going to kick it into high gear! Hoping to be moved by the end of next month. It seems like we're never going to be able to close on our house.

Awh :( Poor baby. Hope he gets relief soon! My middle 2 have had a lot of issues with that. Definitely not fun.

I finished the first day of couch to 5k today. It went so much better than I figured it would and even got my 3 and 6 year old involved. That helped a bunch! Also managed to track everything I ate today and still have a couple hundred for a snack. So happy! If I can keep it up for a couple days I know I can get back on…

Hmmmm....I know I weighed in for week 4 but my weight disappeared. lol! Added mine for weeks 4 and 5. Still up a bit but that's not really surprising. At least I'm maintaining. I'll eventually get back on the wagon.

Sorry I haven't participated much this challenge. Life has definitely gotten in the way. Trying to get the motivation back but I'm hanging on by a thin strand right now. I'm very sad that I think I forgot to log in at all yesterday ending my streak :( I was up to around 200 days. Adding my weigh in from last Friday. :/ I…

NSV: I haven't weighed in for a few days now! lol! I used to weigh in every few hours. The scale does not own me! With that being said, I know I haven't down great this week again. Just trying to make healthier choices and cut down to "normal" portion sizes. We'll see where that gets me. I really need to start logging…
