I am not planning on weighing in Monday as if I do I might just shoot myself =0) Seriously, I have probably been over on my calories 2 of the last 3 days, and don't want the discouragement of the scale. I will jump back on the diet and exercise wagon Monday and hopefully never see the results of 3 days of eating. Wishing…

245 here this morning, but I had a Birthday Party and Christmas Party yesterday. Didn't do too bad, but no that I was down on Thursday (my normal weigh in day). But today was 245 so we will go with that. New week and new challenges ! ! !

I can't see the spreadsheet, so I don't know how everyone is doing. =0(

Celebrating my 38th today too. I have been home all day with a sick child and am proud to say I have done pretty well. Not sure what dinner holds as the son has strept throat and mine is not feeling too swell either. We will see and I will pray I am at or under calories. I do plan on exercising if I can snag the tv from…

Keep him as a good luck charm, especially if he is bringing good luck. My cat does the same thing of sitting on the scale....I tell her she is down a pound or up a pound and she rolls her eyes at me. For some reason I don't think she is as obsessed with the scale as I am.

I am guilty of weighing myself daily. I too think that it motivates me into staying accountable for what I eat daily. However, I do not record a weight loss except on Thursdays. My weight will vary up to 2 pounds from day to day, but I do like to see that what I am doing works. I just have to be disciplined not to let it…

I too looked at your diary and the advice that has been given is great. One place I might try to make some changes is in your Carbs. They seem to be high, and on some days they even are over. Maybe try uping your Protein and lowering your carbs. Water is also another area that can never hurt. For me personally, my body…

Congratulations on your awesome success ! ! !

Hi there, and Welcome to the group. You will find awesome support here!

My update in numbers: Started Challenge at 267.7 (11/3), and latest weigh in showed 247.6 (12/3) so that is a loss of 20.1 (insert a big woo~hoo here ) ! ! ! My normal weigh in day is Thursday, but I weighed in on Saturday as that was my one month mark. =) Yes, I have a scale addiction, but it was holding steady there…

Woo Hoo ~ Keep up the good work ! !

Count me in too........ Name: Christi Starting Weight:248.2 Goal Weight by December 31, 2010: 235 What you will do to get to that goal weight: I will excerise 5 days a week for at least 30 minutes, I will walk at least 10 miles a week, I will stay at or under my calorie goals, and I will log everything that goes past my…

I started MFP on 11/15/10 2 weeks into my "diet". I will complete my first month tomorrow (12/04/10) and am currently 19 pounds smaller. I am praying really hard when I weigh tomorrow that I will have lost another pound. I would love to have lost 20 pounds in a month. I know that is a lot, but I have really been trying…

Welcome to the group ! You will find much support here and people walking through the same things you are. Jump in and enjoy the ride.

Awesome group of support here ! I think if your mindset is right, you will seek out the support you need from people who are in the same place you are. Do it for you and don't look back. Welcome to the group ! !

Good Stuff, and thanks for sharing !

Awesome way to start the day ! ! Keep up the good work, and dance (it's buring calories) =0)

You can do it ! ! If you've been staying at your calories, and only messed up on Thanksgiving, your probably down some. Just let it be motivation either way. If your down, then what your doing worked. If your up then you know why and can make changes.

Congratulations on a great week ! My only advice would be to start out small, and then build into the addiction that people are talking about. I started out by changing my eating habits the two weeks, and got an occasional walk, or workout in. Then by the end of the 3rd week, I was wanting to see what adding daily exercise…

Just think of it as in the end your really doing something for them too. You will be healthier, feel better, and have more energy to do things for them even longer. Hang in there and don't beat yourself up ! !

Way to go ! ! I know you have to feel better. Keep up the good work, and watch out for those trucks =0)

Awesome Christie ! I love it here and am sure you will too. Keep up the great work and believe in yourself ! !

Awesome Job ! ! I know that you are so proud of yourself. I congratulate you today on a job well done.....keep it up ! ! ! :smile:

Congratulations ! ! What an accomplishment. How have you done it? I am excited to hear that you are so proud of yourself. Can't wait to celebrate with you !

Count Me In ~ I hope to loose more than 50, but would love to be a part of this challenge. What do I do now =0)
