Hi Team, I did weign in on Monday, but didn't make it to the posting. Working a lot lately, so it's been a little crazy, but I am watching what I put in my mouth. Down 1 lb. Better... May 3: 184 May 10: 181 May 17: 184 May 24: 184 May 31: 183 June 7: June 14: June 21: June 28: July 5: July 12: July 19: July 26: August 2:…

Sorry I missed last week's posting. I went back to my body's fav # - UGH. Still pushing through it. It's been a stressful 2 weeks, so I know that plays a part. But, I'm tired of making excuses. Ready to watch my food even more closely this week and challenge myself more in my workouts. I need to get more sleep too. I guess…

Down 3 lb. this week. Yippee! I had a head cold this week but logged my food every day except Mother's Day. This week, I will continue with getting back to logging all my food - for all 7 days. Thanks for all the encouragement. You are all doing great! I'm getting back to wearing my Heart Rate Monitor during my cardio…

I'm coming in a little late, but this is a great motivation to get back on track. I peaked last year at 194 lb, lost 20+, and slowly let 10 lb. slip back on. I am looking forward to some accountability and to encourage others to make a healthy lifestyle change as well. My goal for this week is to simply log my food…

Hi All, Still holding steady. No weight loss this week. It's TOM and still lots of stress from my boss being "let go" less than two weeks ago. I am ready to move on and get it in gear this week. I cannot give up -- it is not an option :). You all are doing great. I just finished watching the BL on DVR and it inspires me to…

Hey everyone, I weighed yesterday, but didn't get to my pc. CW: 179 lb lost this week: 0 Water: ? didn't track Cardio: 4/7 Calories: ? didn't track It was a rough week. My boss and dear friend was "let go" on Thursday and there have been meetings and the good-bye's ever since. I had kiddos home sick and the sun did not…

I am stayin' steady this week. Weight lost this week: 0 Water: 7/7 days Cardio: 7/7 days I'm making some small changes and looking to eliminate or at least reduce my morning coffee ritual. I will also focus on those calories and work to earn all those challenge points this week. Small changes day by day = big results long…

Weigh in at 179 lb - a 1 pound loss for me. I'll take it. Even at a pound a week, I will be 50 lbs. lighter by this time next year, right? Yippee! Good job, everyone.

Hi! My weigh in is 180 lb. I am still down from 195 which is where I began last year. I am ready to be accountable and shed some lbs. I also pledged 20 lb. for the Pound for Pound Challenge. I am sure some of the food I will not be eating can go to a better cause! Let's do this! I ran on my treadmill for the first time in…

Count me in! Thanks for starting this challenge. Looking forward to encouraging one another toward a healthier year.

Lisa, First, you are doing great! Progress is always progress. I am a mom of three so I understand your challenges. This is the first year mine are in school. But, when mine were your ages, it's all about planning and compromise (with your spouse, that is). With planning, really brainstorm some other times that might work…

Well, I'm baaacckk, if you will have me. Got off the bandwagon and it's time to get back on. I am back to my previous weight of 177, from beginning of September. I know it will keep inching up and I do not want to go back to my high of 195. I have been avoiding logging calories and general accountability. It's obviously…

I am down 1 lb. this week. My goal was to log ALL of my food. Well, I did improve on my logging from last week, but I did not log all of my food. My goal this week is to log everything. I am still getting over a cold, so my exercise component is sluggish. I am hoping to slowly get that back up and going as my body is able.…

This weekend was off track for me - entertaining guests gets me off very quickly. This week I am looking to just get diligent with tracking ALL of my food. Also, I have found that when I keep my breakfasts, lunches, and snacks relatively the same each day, I am more successful. I can then mix up my choices at dinner and…

Hope it's not too late to join the team...

Hi JenniferAnne (from your post on 7/15), Thanks for the input on plateaus. Basically, it's been summer and I have three small kids. We have been having fun and taking several vacations. Therefore, my food logging has been limited and my exercise has been reduced to playing with kids and walking a lot. I am thankful that I…

I just found this "newer" thread and am hoping to jump in. I hope this can be a place of positive encouragement for one another. I have been focusing on calories and fitness seriously since the end of Feb 2009 and have lost about 20 pounds. I am looking to lose a total of 50 so I am almost halfway there. Yippee! I have…
