My pleasant surprise was this: towards the end of last week I totally lost motivation for my diet and indulged in a sort of treat binge. I went over the my calorie goal big time for a couple of days. I was super angry, discouraged, frustrated, etc., and felt like just giving up and giving in. Instead, I dragged myself to…

Hi everyone! Good jobs all around. I'm currently jumping between 138 and 141. Hoping for a solid 138 by the end of this next week. Best wishes, Elma

Hi everyone, Great that we are continuing on, and welcome new people! SW (before Valentine's Day challenge): 144 CW:140 GW: 125 Easter goal: 130-128 Good luck! Elma

I ended up losing 4 pounds. I'll take it! Definitely up for St. Patrick's Day or Easter next. Congratulations to the group, you guys rock! Elma

I'm seriously in the exact same boat. I'll try eating more veggies and lean protein, but I feel brain dead without carbs!

Hi everyone, Great jobs all around! I have been very, very, VERY frustrated by the scale these past two weeks. I've NEVER been more consistent in terms of diet and exercise (I had one bad day on Superbowl Sunday though :). And I've NEVER had slower results. In general, I've been burning around 700-800 calories a day…

I also started out at 144. And I saw 143 on Monday so I thought I had lost a pound! Back up to 144 today though. Hoping for a big number next week, since I was super strict about diet and exercise all week. Gonna up my water and see if that helps :) Congratulations everyone!

Emotions, hormones, boredom, feeling like I just want to give up and enjoy myself in the moment - they all get the better of me. I find seeing progress the most motivating - not necessarily on the scale (although it's nice when that happens!), but in terms of how clothes fit, or feeling stronger at the gym, or seeing…

In a perfect world, I try to do spin classes three times a week. On the other days I try to make it to an aerobics class that includes strength training, or I do more cardio on the elliptical machine. I also try to do yoga twice a week - easy classes that are mostly about stretching and relaxation, but there is some…

I'm starting at 144. My methods will be: trying to burn 500-600 calories a day by exercising, and trying to eat around 1300-1400 calories a day (for a deficit of around 7000 calories a week). I'll eat more if I exercise more. I find if I don't hit that balance I am STARVING and end up eating a lot over the weekend before…

My starting weight is 144 :)

Hi! I'm Elma. I usually set unrealistic goals and never make it. I'm hoping to lose 15-20 pounds by the summer, but instead of focusing on that I will join you in setting this mini-goal for Valentine's day. Great idea for a group!

Ooops I forgot to do this yesterday. SW 145 GW 130 Goal for the 4 weeks: 140 I don't do measurements usually, just go by how my clothes are fitting :)

Hi everyone! I really need motivation right now so I'm excited to be here. Affirmation: It's September 17th and I'm following a consistent routine of getting to the gym or doing something outside at least 5 days a week. I'm also walking or biking to work at least two days a week - more if I don't feel like I can get to the…

130 I think? I'm 138 right now and haven't been below 135 in AGES. My body naturally gravitates towards 140, but I would like to be a bit leaner without getting toooo skinny :)

Hi everyone! I wasn't able to post last week since I joined the challenge so late (so last week was kind of like my first week). Here is my progress to date: Current Weight 138 Weight lost since last week (and part of the week before): - 2 lb Calories burned since last week: not sure exactly, but made it to most of my…

Hi! Is it still okay to join? And is this how - by just replying with the info you requested? Thanks for starting this great group! Current Weight (8/25): 140 Weight lost since last week: 0! Calories burned since last week: not exactly sure, will pay attention this next week Nutrition goal met: yes during the week, NO…

Hi! Sorry I'm so late - I just got home! I didn't lose anything this week which I was super unhappy about . . . BUT I did a body composition measurement with a trainer and it turns out that since the last one I did (before the holidays) I have lost 4 lbs. of fat and gained 4 lbs of muscle, which is great! I was thinking I…

Hi! I lost half a pound = 133.5 My goal this week is to exercise at least 5 days - hoping to start that tonight! D

Wow the chart looks great - it's so cool to see everyone's progress. Reading the posts I remembered we are supposed to weigh in and check in with goals. Mine will be to finish strong with this cleanse I am doing and get to the gym at least 3 days this week. I have a ski weekend at a friend's cabin coming up on the weekend,…

I stayed about the same: 134 But I was pretty good so hopefully I will get a bigger number (than 0!) soon great job everybody and good luck this week! D

Thanks so much for including me!

Hi! Is it too late to join? SW = 140 CW = 134 GW = 127 My goals for this week are to get back into an exercise routine and to keep up with this cleanse I am doing (no sugar, gluten, and processed foods). Will be stoked if I am not too late!
