Ok fellow Tigers, we have half this week down.........we can do this!!!! :happy:

Tigers will be saving you guys some flies and bugs for your diets! :happy:

The thing we have to remember is this is journey not a sprint to the finish line! My fellow Tigers ROCK!!!

got mine in!

This morning I was at 147.2

Ok, I am a little slow but I made it! Really hoping this will get my last 10 pounds off for good!

I was about to post and decided to do a search first on this topic! Glad I am not the only one. I usually don't get this sleepy, but WOW all I want to do this morning is go to sleep! I was a little bit concerned , but see now it's not that uncommon. I will just stay hydrated and eat righ for the rest of the day! :yawn:

Congrats! Awesome job and dedication!

Awesome job! I can really tell a difference. Super happy for you!!!!! :happy:

Are you taking your body measurements? I finally figured out that the scale does not always show your hard work and efforts. I may not loose any pounds but loosing inches, I would feel good about the way I look and feel than be stressed over the what number the scale AKA devil box shows. You are doing great, don't give up!

WOOHOO! What an awesome feeling, You should be very proud! Keep up the great work!

^^^^^^^^^ this for sure! There are some exercises you can do from a chair and walking would be good choices. Just don't over do it on matter you choose to do. Start out like you can hold out. Remember the road to becoming healthy is a marathon not a sprint. Good Luck! You Can Do This!

My husband is very fit and I am working on getting there. We bought Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. Her videos are great because they have an advanced workout and an easier modified version. We have P90X and I am scared to do it all with him. I also have Les Mills Combat that I am going to try in a few weeks. So glad you…

I am a 36 DD and i tried several brands and wearing two of them before finding one I liked. I ended up liking a NIKE with lots of support. (razor back with adjustable strap) The "girls" move very little now and I love that! Good Luck finding one that works for you.

I can't believe it but this is exactly where my goals are headed. I am almost 45 and now sit at about 147. My goal is to loose 1/2 pound a week and meet the 140 goal by Thanksgiving or before.

Wow very eye opening! I have lost an automobile tire!

What an amazing transformation! Good Luck on the rest of your journey!

I know I was the most unhappy person when it came to shopping for clothes and swimsuits!?!?!?!?!?!?!? My poor husband was so wonderful but said a few days ago when we were shopping how much more enjoyable it was for him now too! :happy:

Good Luck on your journey! I wish I had the time to be this person for you, but I am honest when I say that I get so busy with remodels and work............that I may not be on everyday. I wish you luck with your search.

I do not trust the body fat on my scales, too many factors that cause it to be so different. I starting using the navy body fat calculator I found online. I take measurements every few weeks and use them to calculate my fat percentages. http://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy

^ This!

Congrats! I still weigh weekly but I take my measurements every two weeks. I was very frustrated in the beginning of this journey until......my husband finally encouraged me to start tracking measurements. I also use the navy body fat calculator to track my body fat using my measurements. Good Luck on the rest of your…

I notice from day to day my can fluctuate especially if my blood pressure is a little higher than normal or I am just more stressed or tired. I would definitely have it checked out if it continues to concern you. Good Luck!

I too have realized weight is just a number......one that doesn't really control me. I want to be a size 6, currently a size 8. (I am only 5'2") I know I can not reach this in one month, but hope to get close. My actual goal is September first to be a size 6. I would like to loose 1/2 pound a week.

Thanks for the info and look forward to doing this challenge.

Oh wow! Where do you teach? We go back the fourth Monday in August and its still hot here in Texas too.

Feel free to add me! Why is it that most teachers need and want the consistency of our daily schedules??? I crave and function best with my daily routine.

First of all WELCOME to MFP! You will get a lot of information some will be great, some mediocre and some will be just terrible. Since you are just starting out........follow the calories that MFP suggests and just log everything you eat and try to work out at least 3-4 times a week. With time will you will get more and…

I do this too! I know that stress and boredom are my triggers. I know they saying admitting it is half the battle.........so now to find ways to tackle it is my next battle. Congrats on all your weight loss. You can do this!

Where and what type of caliper did you get? The closer I get to my goal weight the more interested in loosing body fat. i know I am in the overweight or even obese category.
