Good morning All, I lost 1 lb this week. I'm pretty happy as I've really been struggling lately - tiny progress is still progress. It's a low key week coming up so I'm hopeful for further progress. Here are my stats: OSW: 230 lbs UGW: 140 lbs Starting weight for the July 4 Challenge: 182 lbs Goal weight for this Challenge:…

Most 'experts' recommend not eating at 8:00 pm. That, however, is ONLY because that's the time of day when many people tend to eat empty calories or to eat mindlessly. The calories you eat after 8:00 pm are no different from the ones you eat before that time. My thought is that, if you are prone to eating mindlessly late…

Good morning, all. I've been away so this is my first week weighing in on this Challenge. I've been struggling lately and so my weight has not changed. We've been travelling a lot and I've gotten out of some of the good habits I had developed over the past number of months (like exercise). I'm working on getting back into…

Good morning Everyone, I lost 1 lb this week. I'm still having a bit of a struggle to get back into the groove after vacation plus we've had SOOOOO much snow - I haven't been able to walk my normal route as the city hasn't plowed the streets wide enough to permit pedestrians. Well, let's face, I could have walked somewhere…

I will definitely join this group. I was in another Christmas Challenge group and had great success. While I won't meet my target for the Easter Challenge, I can't say I haven't had success - certainly a vast improvement over this time last year. So, I'm looking forward to the support offered by the group again. I will…

You can always start now, Sweetie. We're in the final throes of the Easter Challenge - tag along - you should always start when you're in the right frame of mind. Cycletrack1 can add your name to the Easter spreadsheet, if you'd like to also use that tool. Just let her know if you're interested. Good luck. (btw: sweet baby…

Good morning, I'm not able to access the spreadsheet. Would you kindly update it for me? My weight this week is 183. The entries for the previous weeks are all correct. Thank you.

Good morning all, I lost 2 lbs this week. At last!! I've been really struggling since I left for Florida at the end of January. I've been back about 1 1/2 weeks and am finally getting back into my healthier eating habits. Here are my stats: OSW: 230 lbs UGW: 140 lbs SW for Easter Challenge: 193 lbs GW for Easter Challenge:…

I'm definitely in. Thank you.

My weight remained the same this week. I can't really complain as I've survived 4 weeks in Florida and 2 weeks of travel during which time I lost 2 lbs. In my previous life, I would easily have been up about 7 or 8 lbs. I'm looking forward to getting things under control again. With just 3 weeks remaining in the Easter…

My weight remained the same this week. Disappointed but not surprised. I'm still in Florida and still having lots of company. It's a real challenge to stay on top of things. I'm still walking lots but need to get control of my food. Oh well, this is big progress over same situation last year. Have a great week, everyone.

I lost 2 lbs this week. Finally, after a 3-week plateau. Very happy!!! I'm in Florida for the month and we're having lots of company so I've really been struggling to adapt - not that it's hard to adapt to this weather :) . It'll be a race to meet my target by Easter!! Here are my stats: OSW: 230 lbs UGW: 140 lbs SW for…

Hi All, I remained the same again this week. Our houseguests have gone home so, before the next group arrives, I'm getting back on track this week. My stats are: OSW: 230 lbs UGW: 140 lbs Starting weight for Easter Challenge: 193 lbs Current weight: 187 lbs Weight lost under Easter Challenge: 6 lbs Weight remaining to lose…

Atta girl! Good job!

Hi Everyone, My weight remained the same this week. I spent the past week travelling to Florida and now that I'm here, I'm struggling to get into an eating and exercise regime that works for me. Oh well, the struggle continues. My stats: OSW: 230 lbs UGW: 140 lbs Easter Challenge SW: 193 lbs Easter Challenge GW: 173 lbs…

Hi Everyone, I lost 2 lbs this week. It's been a busy week and I am presently on the road en route to Florida - trying to avoid all of the snow down the eastern seaboard. Not much exercise this week but I've been pretty good with my food. Here are my stats: OSW: 230 lbs UGW: 140 lbs SW for Easter Challenge: 193 lbs GW for…

10 lbs in 3 weeks - You rock! Of course, you've already lost almost 100 lbs in the past year. This must be like a whole new life for you!! You might be my new hero!!

Wow, excellent results!

That's completely amazing. That alone is worth the price of admission. Good for you!!!!

Wow, this group rocks - I'm so impressed with the progress!! I lost 1 lb this week. I found this week to be a struggle: we had a couple of social functions resulting in leftovers which means having party food for 3 meals rather than just 1. Also the weather has been bad so it's tough to get outside for a walk. This means…

I just love reading all of your comments - they give me such inspiration. - Zx14Chick - I know exactly what you mean. Attitude is everything and when you're head's not right, nothing is. It's the chicken and the egg dilemma. I particularly love Cherirana's comment that her shoes no longer fit - that's so funny - you know…

Yay Valdosta. I drive past Valdosta every year on my way to Florida. Will be passing by in a couple of weeks. Welcome!!

Hi All, I just love how our group is from all over the world. I'm a travel junkie and it gives me ideas and inspiration on where I'd like to go next. I am Canadian, born and raised - currently living in Nova Scotia, Canada. I am 58 years old and a somewhat-recently retired accountant. I am married with 2 great kids and 3…

I lost 3 lbs this week. Yay! I was on a cruise over the holidays and was so happy to maintain my weight. I think my weight loss this week can be attributed, in part, to getting all of the salt out of my system. I've been eating at home a lot over the past few months and had forgotten just how much sodium is in…

- lwdllc: I could not agree more. Even just on a daily basis: every morning I enter into MFP what I PLAN to eat as well as my PLANNED exercise. I take a look at whether or not that will allow me to meet my goals for the day and, if not, I need to either be OK with that or eliminate/reduce portions. This allows me to know…

Agreed. Thank you.

Sorry I'm late - I've been away for the holidays with no access to a computer. Original MFP Starting Weight: 230 lbs Ultimate Goal Weight: 145ish lbs (who really knows - it's been so long since I've been there) Start Weight for Easter Challenge: 194 lbs Goal Weight for Easter Challenge: 174 lbs Lbs to Lose for Easter…

Palamedes: I love your 6 Ps - I'll probably borrow that!! I'm going to Toronto for Christmas and then on a cruise with our entire family over the holidays (12 days in total). I've had some good success over the past few months and am concerned about losing my momentum. I won't have access to MFP, upon which I have relied…
