Don't beat yourself up over it. 7 lbs is a pretty good weight loss. It is a little over a 1lb a week. Even though that is not how it is working out. They really do say the slower you lose the better to keep it off. I would think of steping up your cardio a notch. Maybe jog or run some of your walk. Even if it is only 30…

Also I thought it was cheesy at first but I wear a pedometer. It is not always completely accurate especially when I work out, but you should walk between 10,000 and 12,000 steps a day. At first even with all my walking I was only getting about 7,000 steps a day. I was surprised cause I walk almost everywhere. So I have…

Well here is my workout. I vary sometimes, depending on mood and motivation or if I have eaten really bad. Monday Gym 8-9:30 Stair climb level 10 for 15 min, Couch to 5 K program Run 4.5-5.5 and Walk 3.5-4.5 off and on 30 min, Weights 30 min Evening 200 sit up challenge week 4, 100 push up challenge week 4 Tuesday Gym…

I am starting to feel like a freak of nature. Not that I am not excited about the weight loss, but I keep thinking it will taper off or slow down or that I will hit a plato. I have been lucky to keep it up. All I do is work out every day and eat my calories. That's it, I swear. MY husband can't believe how fast it is…

Yay Congrats! Breaking out of the 200's was a huge step for me. At first I didn't want to be to excited especially when I was 199. I went up to 201 and then back down. Now I am officially out of the woods so I never want to see 200 again.

I am down 4 lbs from 199 to 195! I hope you all have a good week!

So I am finnaly able to get on the site. I have not been able to get on all day! Last week I baught the Polar F11. It was $145 and I hated it. I returned it the next day. I really wanted something that would tell me how many calories I was burning the whole day. I hated the chest strap. I would never wear it all day. I…

iwanttostayhealthy- Sorry if you felt left out! We kind get in our own little land here. I didn't think you asked anything, if so sorry:( Seems to me like you and your daughter are doing well together. I wish I had someone to go through this journey with! I hate not haveing a workout buddy:( In NY I had a group of 4…

I think it jus seems like a lot of people are gone. Maybe like you said they just are not posting much on here. It just seems like that first post, when we were voting on a name or the first week that we has a lot more people. I like our group, we all have great imput's. PumpkinHeadsMomma- Are you keeping track of our…

I hope not! We have to stay together and stay strong! I am addicted to this site! It is the first thing I check in the morning and then I check it through out the whole evening cause that is when you all post.

That is what I keep saying. We are dropping off like flys.

Hey I hope I'm not the rabit. I know I am in the lead right now but I am sure it will not stay that way for long. I am not sure how it is falling off me. I eat all my calories, some times more. I just workout like crazy and I actually slowed that down this week cause I think I was working out to much and not eating my…

Yay! So 3 lbs this week! I need a new scale but I am scared it will tell me I am heavier than I am. I have a plain old kind that the dial goes up when you step on it. It is not old but I want a digital. Our old digital broke and I couldn't see spending $60 on a new one. I guess I should break down and do it some time soon…

I am such a Biggest loser fan! I hate that it does not even start until the 28th here on our tv. I can not wait to watch it. I always get very motivated to lose weight when this show is on.

I am sure you will catch me and pass me in no time. For the simple reason that guys seem to lose more. I think I will be hiting my plato when I get to 190. That is usually where I get and have a hard time breaking that. Pep- I started January 5th, good thinking to see when everyone started.

You can do it! My huband is in the military. He is my big motivation however it seems everytime he would leave I would gain weight. Well I stopped this cycle during his last deployment and lost 60 lbs. This time I had just had a baby when he left so I started working outin January and I have lost 23 lbs since he left. I…

Yeah it is a crazy thing! We first of all have no idea what we want at this point. I know I want a boy. If I could magically do something to make sure it was a boy I would do it the day he comes home. I however am happy with the two I have. The military makes life a struggle as it is so I don't know if adding a third child…

Depending on the hormones in the pill you can somtimes gain weight. I have never personally lost weight while on the pill. Only gained or stayed the same.

Hi eveyone time sure if flying! I have been crusing the Success board and love looking at the before and after pics! I could sit and look all day, it is so motivating! Anyway my day is almost over. Have to take my daughter to dance and figure out what is for dinner. I am getting tired of eating healthy. I just love food to…

Wow you had a great week! I know what you mean. For me it was hitting the big 20 that I was super excited about. Congrats!

Thanks! I had gotten to 199 the day before v-day and then gained back the 2 lbs and was at 201 so then I have kicked my butt in gear and got back to 199. I just want to keep moving down. I am actually only a few lbs away from when I got prego. I don't look the same phyically but I just have to keep at it. By the way…

So are you eating all of your calories? Also are you eating your excercise calories? I try and stay as close as possible to eating my daily calories. If I find my self running low then I have a snack that is high in calories but not to unhealthy. One of my favs is an apple with 2 tbl peanut butter. The apple is usually 72…

Down from 202 to 199! I am so happy I am below 200!

OH my gosh weigh ins tomorrow! I am all messed up here with the holiday today. I better get my butt in gear. I would love some Aussie cheese fries! Oh I think when I go home if ever or when I move home I will gain 20 lbs. I miss food so much! I know I should not think that way but I am so deprived of good american food!…

Yeah how much is a big thing for me too! In November my Mom made me a cake for my birthday. Well no one was eating it so over the course of 2 or 3 days I ate the whole thing. I would have huge pieces for breakfast lunch and dinner. Now looking at hoe many calories I was eating, I could die. I ate 4680 in cake alone. I am…

Sorry you had a bad day! It is ok to over do it once in a while as long as it isn't every day so start out the new day on the right foot. Get those workouts in. It will all be ok. Maybe you and hubby could go on a date night no kids to make up for the bad day.

I am not sure I would go with 9 lbs. I would say 8 lbs a month or 2 a week. I am not sure what you started at but the lower you go the harder it is to take it off. You have to be more strict with calories and excecise more. So if you are at right about 200 I would set your goal at 185 by April. I have my goal for 195 by…

Yeah I thought long and hard about this. I just thought I am not going to never eat cake the rest of my life. I am young for god's sake. I had my cake and enjoyed it. I added the calories and excercised like I would any other day. Unlike before I started this journey. I would have sat down and eating half of the cake maybe…

I was wandering where you were. I am so sorry that you are suffering from PPD. I have never personally experienced it but I know many women that have. I think the decision you have made to take what ever weight loss before his wedding is the best thing right now. I think you have done great with your weight loss and if you…

Hope everyone had a great Valentines day and a good weekend so far. I had a nice valentines day. I did go to dinner and got cordon bleu which was to die for. It came with FF so I gave most to my daughter. I know it was not super healthy but I am in Germany, nothing is super healthy. I saved most of my calories for my…
