I'm back after going totally off track for 2 weeks. Actually gained in April. :cry: I'm refocused and recomitted and looking forward to losing 5 lbs this month. Good luck everyone ! May 2 - 176.6 May 9 - May 16 - May 23 - May 30 - Oh, I soooo want to get out of the 170's. So tired of seeing those numbers.

Thanks Phyljen for the compliments and encouragement. :flowerforyou: Amanda - I did it! I made my BF hide the scales from me. I thought having the scales where I saw them everyday would keep me motivated but instead I obsessed about getting on the dang things everytime I walked in the bathroom!!!! Getting healthy is about…

I am having a terrible month. :cry: I'm on track with my eating and exercising but the weight is just hanging on. I so wanted to make the 50 lb loss this month even if I don't make the 5lb challenge but I'm struggling. I have been under a lot of stress the past couple weeks and I know stress isn't good for weight loss.…

I use extra lean ground beef and grill it. Top with mustard, ketchup, onions, tomato and pickles and wrap it all in a couple lettuce leaves. No bun needed.

My goal weight is 160. That will be a 61 lbs loss. I will still be overweight but I want to hit 160 and maintain that for 6 months and then try to lose 10 more. I have lost down to under 150 a couple of times and could not maintain it so I want this time to be a realistic, maintable weight that I can live with for the rest…

Happy Monday everyone. :happy: I know I just posted my weight Friday but since Monday is my weigh in day, thought I'd do it again . April 1 - 174.0 April 4 - 173.6 So almost a half pound lost over the weekend. Really has a great workout yesterday. I'm slowly adding running back into my exercise and hoping my knees hold…

Thanks for the positive post Marnie. I thought of you today when I was pushing my sister to finish our walk. I told her the 3 P's !!!:bigsmile: Congrats on the skinny jeans too. :happy:

Hi everyone. Glad to see so many people involved in this challenge. I know it really helps me having these small goals and all the support this board gives. Let's get to it!!! April 1- 174. 160's here I come. :happy: Good luck everyone.

March was so much better than February. Must be the spring weather that has me re-motivated. Total loss for March is 7.6 lbs. :bigsmile: March 1 - 181.6 March 7 - 177.2 March 14 - 175.8 March 21 - 175.6 March 28 - 175.0 March 31 - 174.0 See you all on the April board.

Bru - Sorry about all the stress in your life and you're right, it does show on the scales. In-laws living across the street :noway: can be hard to deal with even if they're the best people in the world. My sister is losing her job and may have to move it with us for a while and that is stressing me out. Love my sister,…

March 1 - 181.6 March 7 - 177.2 March 14 - 175.8 March 21 - 175.6 March 28 - 175.0 Good grief! My weight has been like the March weather - "Roared in like a lion and goes out like a lamb". :noway: I'm glad I had a great first 2 weeks because after that, it has been a dribble. Shouldn't really complain though because I've…

HECK YEAH !! :drinker: :drinker: Definite Type A here. :blushing:

It seemed to overwhelming when I first started this journey to imagine my heart would ever make it to the right side of the ticker. Makes me feel proud when I see how far I've come.

You are having a super month blackbyrd61 !! Way to go.

Hey gang. Not much of a loss last week but I've still met my March goal. Hopeing putting new batteries in my scales had something to do with the low number because I upped my workouts 4 out of 5 days this week. March 1 - 181.6 March 7 - 177.2 March 14 - 175.8 March 21 - 175.6 Ugh! It's Monday and time to get to work. Have…

Had this last night with steamed green beans. Love Palmeros ultra thin crust. 1/3 is more than enough to cure my pizza cravings.

March 1 - 181.6 March 7 - 177.2 March 14 - 175.8 Already met 5 lb goal for this month so now I have to stay focused and motivated to stay on track the rest of the month. Would love to lose another 3 lbs. to help make up for losing NOTHING last month. :grumble: Hope everyone has a great week both in life and on the scales.…

Welcome and congratulations on your decision to get healthy. Recently a friend asked me how much weight had I lost. When I told her the number she said "gosh, that's alot. You must be so proud of that." I said "yes but what I'm most proud of is that no matter how many times I slipped up or went on a binge, I haven't given…

Orville Reddenbacher Simply Salted or Butter popcorn. :heart: :heart: Have it every night. Will do without other stuff but not this.

Bru - Congrats on meeting a milestone loss! :flowerforyou: Hopefully my ticker will register 50 lbs soon.

YAY !!! Happy skinnier jeans shopping. ::flowerforyou:

4 Minutes - Madonna and Justin Timberlake Super Massive Black Hole - Muse Get This Party Started - Pink Dancing Crazy - "can't think of who sings it" Dynamite - Tiao Cruz

Non Scale Victory - It's rainy and cold here today and had a rough day at work and I soooo didn't want to work out after work. Wanted to come home, put comfy clothes on and pile up on the couch. All afternoon long, I was having a ping pong match with myself coming up with reasons not to work out, reasons why I should, etc.…

When I get discouraged I think back to my vacation at the beach last July and remember how miserable I was. I hated how I looked and how I felt and I remind myself that I do not want to go back there. Another thing I do is take it one day at a time instead of looking at how far I have to go. I'll just tell myself "just for…

I just freeze it in the container it comes in. (Dannon Light & Fit 6oz). I put the container in the freezer when I get to work in the morning and it's frozen by lunch time.

Looking good girl! Congratulations on your progress. :flowerforyou:

Good morning everyone. :flowerforyou: After 2 bad weeks of terrible eating, and gaining 3.2 lbs, I was back on track last week and had a great weigh-in this morning. :bigsmile: March 1 - 181.6 March 7 - 177.2 4.4 lbs down so I'm very happy not to mention how much better I feel not eating girl scout cookies, cake, ice cream…

Honesty with myself is exactly my reason. I had mine open to friends only for a while but I found myself "forgetting" to log that candy bar. It's the character defect I have thinking I have to be perfect and if I'm not, people will judge me. So it's for my own good that mine is private. Everybody has their own reasons but…

Good Morning all. Welcome to all the new joiners this month. This is a great challenge to keep you motivated and there's some very supportive people on here. Good luck. :flowerforyou: The last 2 weeks of February were terrible for me. It started with the girl scout cookies and went downhill from there until I bottomed out…
