I am so in! I want to loose 15-20lbs by the end of this year.

I completely agree with you. I'd be a hypocrite if I said I don't compare myself to other women on a daily basis, but I am working on catching myself and telling myself that comparing myself to other so-called "perfect bodies" is not going to help me. It is so easy to fall into that comparison trap and I am a victim of it…

I am right there with you. I have been around 148-155 for so long, I don't know how many times I've lost and gained the same few pounds. I am trying to get down into the 135-140 range. I actually enjoy exercise and love running but my problem is that I have a hard time sticking to a diet or staying in my calorie range.…

I want to join! Jan 1: 154 Goal: 149

Thanks again everyone! Today I am drinking so much water, since I read that this helps the day after a binge or having a huge meal.

72 Swarla Current Weight: 146.6 I lost .2 lbs I only have 16.6 lbs to go!! I did terribly on the challenege. I love my diet coke and I caved within 2 days. I did cut though, but I can't completely give it up. I am excited about this week's challenge!

Thank you all so much for your comments, I feel a little better. I am trying my hardest to not beat myself up about it, but it is really hard to convince myself that it's not a big deal. I think maybe with mother's day and eating out, I justified the overeating, but I will definetely get back on track tomorrow. And do it…

You look great! I was wondering how tall you are because I have kind of a similar goal as you. I love you Hello Kitty shirt as well! =)

Name: Grace MFP SN: swarla Starting Weight: 146.2 Feel free to add me

I only had a small piece of chocolate, but there is still time left in the day and I am sorrounded by chocolate. Hope I don't cave.

This is a great idea! My finals aren't until May, but I have so many essays to do all because I let the work pile up the entire semester. So I am sure that I am going to start stress eating within the next 2 weeks. I just hope I can make room for the gym or for a good run instead of stuffing my face with cookies.

Wow you look great, congrats!

Sounds good. And thank you for the raffle, that's so sweet!

You look fantastic, great job!

I need the motivation, so count me in!

April 19: 147.6 I'm a little disappointed, I was hoping to lose at least 1 lb. Oh well.

I hope it's still alright to join. Starting Weight: 148.2 Goal Weight: 138

You look amazing, great job!! I also love your hair, it's so long and healthy-looking =)

I also feel a little (ok, very) resentful today. But my plan is to turn all the negative emotion into something positive by working out extra hard today. Afterward, I'm hoping I'll be too tired to feel resentful =)

I usually listen to music, but what I also find helps me is to imagine myself somewhere else. I usually picture myself in a forest or somewhere out in nature. It really helps.

I'm also a student majoring in psychology. How do you guys stay on track with your healthy eating? I've been having so much trouble with that lately.

They look great! I've been trying to get into 9's for a looong time, but I'm still stuck at 11's. :mad: Keep up the good work!:happy:

I know I'm a little late for this challenge, but I think this is just what I need to get me motivated again. I've been having a problem monitoring what I eat, so this is great to keep me accountable! My name is Grecia. I am 20, I am 5'6" and my current weight is 149lbs. Valentine's Day goal: 138 lbs. Week 1 (12/20) - Week…

Wow, you look fantastic, keep up the good work! I love your sweater btw, really cute =)

I eat a lot of eggs for breakfast: scrambled or omelet. I usually add salsa, Serrano peppers, onions, etc to add more flavor. For some reason, I don't feel full if I just drink a shake.

You look fabulous, Great job on running your first 5k! I''m also trying to get these last 10-15lbs off but lately I've been so frustrated because I've been trying and can't. I'm getting very discouraged, but you're such a great inspiration.

I love lemon, so I almost always use that on my salads

Oh my gosh, your transformation is incredible, you look amazing!

Wow you look incredible! You're an inspiration.
