Very close to twins! 56 yr old female, 5'6" SW 197 CW 181 GW 160 Working really hard to get below 180, I see to be very much stuck there! :cry: I will just keep on plugging and see where I can go!:ohwell:

SW: (Starting weight) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 180.4 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 174 Weigh in Dates: 4/16 Wed: 180.6 4/19 Sat: 4/26 Sat: End of Month (4/30 Wed): So, as you can see, not moving the scale at all so far this month. The 180 mark seems to be impossible to break. :( New resolve, getting over this horrid…

Good Work! You look great!

Good for you! Ugh, for me. I am at about three weeks now, bouncing between 180 and 182, and I cannot seem to get below 180! I know it's me and I just need to be more diligent, but I am really losing hope. I eat between 1200 and 1600 calories a day an log everything, but it's really disheartening. Keep up the good work! You…

SW: (Starting weight) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 180.4 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 174 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (4/01 Tue): 4/05 Sat: 4/12 Sat: 4/19 Sat: 4/26 Sat: End of Month (4/30 Wed): Total weight lost: I really, really need some motivation! March was not a good month at all. I seem to have reached this…

SW: (Starting weight in Jan) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 182.4 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 178 Weigh in Dates: 3/1 183.0 3/8 181.00 3/15 181.2 3/22 180.4 3/28 180.8 End of Month So very depressed this morning. I really did work hard to stay at or under calories this week, and all I see is a .4 gain. :( 2.2 loss for the…

Good work! You have a great smile!

SW: (Starting weight in Jan) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 182.4 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 178 Weigh in Dates: 3/1 183.0 3/8 181.00 3/15 181.2 3/22 180.4 3/28 End of Month Loss for the month: 2.6 lbs. Five pounds seems like a really really long ways off! :( So, not the kind of loss I was hoping for, as I have been…

SW: (Starting weight in Jan) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 182.4 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 175 Weigh in Dates: 3/1 183.0 3/8 181.00 3/15 181.2 3/22 3/28 End of Month So, I seem to be stuck here at around 181. Ugh. I guess the good news is it didn't go up much, but it's really sort of discouraging. I was actually looking…

56, (is that too old?) out of shape, but started losing in January and starting workouts tomorrow. I'd love more motivation. I have the best friend who helps me every day! My daughter and I are starting the 30 day shred tomorrow. Every bit of encouragement will help. I also love to hear about everyone's successes, big and…

SW: (Starting weight in Jan) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 182.4 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 175 Weigh in Dates: 3/1 183.0 3/8 181.00 3/15 3/22 3/28 End of Month So, when everything seems too busy and too crazy, it's such a huge reward to see that my scale is still going down! I ate the right way this week, almost without…

SW: (Starting weight in Jan) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 182.4 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 175 Weigh in Dates: 3/1 183.0 3/8 3/15 3/22 3/28 End of Month A bit higher this morning than when I weighed in yesterday for the last day of the Feb challenge, but I'm not stressing over it. Just a good reason not to weigh in for…

Great job! You look wonderful! I'll bet your daughter is very proud of you, too. (Even though she doesn't act impressed when someone mistakes you for her sister, she probably loves it deep down inside. It's just not cool to show it, you know.) ; )

SW: (Starting weight in Jan) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 182.4 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 175 Weigh in Dates: 3/1 3/8 3/15 3/22 3/28 End of Month So, 5 pounds in March would actually be 177.4; however, 175 would be such a nice round number! (Still a little too "round" for my own good, but that will hopefully be…

SW: (Starting weight in Jan) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 189.2 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 182 Weigh in Dates: 2/1 189.2 2/8 189.00 2/15 187.00 2/22 185.8 2/28 182.4 End of Month - Total loss for February = 6.8 lbs. ! YAY!

My daughter turned me on to a new snack last night, avocado pieces drizzled…

Great Job!

SW: (Starting weight in Jan) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 189.2 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 182 Weigh in Dates: 2/1 189.2 2/8 189.00 2/15 187.00 2/22 2/28 End of Month Well, made some progress, even though it felt like I wasn't. Yay! Now I need to stay on track. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...........

I agree with the thought that society has gotten very "instant gratification" oriented. I even have to struggle with that myself sometimes. I want it right now, or I will lose my motivation; however, I think (hope) I'm mature enough to know that the only way to do it right is to pay the dues and do the work and then it…

SW: (Starting weight in Jan) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 189.2 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 182 Weigh in Dates: 2/1 189.2 2/8 189.00 2/15 2/22 2/28 End of Month Seems like soooooo much work to only lose .2 of a lb. :( Bright side -- I didn't go up! Reality -- Some weeks will be better than others, I just need to keep on…

Keep up the good work! Great job. (I am afraid to take a picture of myself the way I look now; however, maybe I should, just so I can someday see how far I've come, and for motivation to not go back to the dark side!)

SW: (Starting weight) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 189.2 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 182 Weigh in Dates: 2/1 189.2 2/8 2/15 2/22 2/28 End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use) Grrr, why am I always a bit up on Saturday morning from what I weighed on Wednesday?!! I guess I need to be more careful on Fridays!…

I am in! SW: (Starting weight) 197.4 CW: (Current weight) 188.6 GW: (Goal weight for the month) 182 Weigh in Dates: 2/1 2/8 2/15 2/22 2/28 End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use) I've been weighing in on Wednesdays. I'll weigh in again on Saturday morning and start from there. This cold, cold weather always makes…

SW: 197.4 GW for January: 190 GW: 160 1/11: 194.2 1/17: 192.0 1/24: 190.8 1/29: 188.6 1/31: Yay! It makes it go so much easier when you can actually see results! Another 30 lbs and I may actually not hate the way I look. I'm already starting to like myself more just because of putting in the effort, even though looking in…

SW: 197.4 GW: 160 1/11: 194.2 1/17: 192.0 1/24: 190.8 1/31: From my starting weight to now, lost 7 lbs,; however, starting to feel a little hungry at different times of the day, something I didn't notice early on. Maybe I need to go back and look at what I was eating when I wasn't feeling hungry. Hopefully I can regain…

SW: 197.4 GW: 160 1/11: 194.2 1/17: 192.0 1/24: 1/31: A little bit up from Wednesday. That's very hard to take, but I'm going to keep going! Trying not to worry about losing small battles, it's the big war I want to win. Those first pounds came off almost too easily, now it's time to get real!

So, I came home from work last night starving. I had gotten some popcorn a few days ago for times like this when I needed something quick to satisfy my need for a snack, and still not blow my calories out of the water. I have two grown sons who live with us right now and my popcorn was missing! Not a mystery where it went.…
