this group seems a little quiet... what is going on and how is everyone doing? yesterday was pretty good for me.... I fixed the tires on my bike and went for a short ride. :) now that the tires are fixed I don't have an excuse!!! :D

Hey Everyone! I know that it is Sunday already, but I would like to jump in, if it is ok. I like the idea of short term goals lately. :) today I weigh 155.

Thanks everyone. So far his airway is holding, but it is still too early to be considered out of the woods. EmilyRanae: So TRUE CJK: I am so sorry for your loss. Kmbrooks: He is only 47 Time to get away from this computer. Hope everyone has a wonderful day and makes the best of it!

bummer missxena, I hope that you had a good time at least? SO, I can't believe it is May already. I wonder how I am going to pull this out? really 25 days left in this challenge and I feel like I haven't really even started. I would like to order an *kitten* kicking for me too.

Hello swinginchandra! I am 5'-6" My sizes are all over the place these days. I have a pair of Levis that are 10s that are wearable, but tight. But in the cheap, ugly, intentionally NOT SEXY mom jeans that I wear to not draw attention to myself at construction sites I am down to an 8 which is baggy :) The size change in…

DATE: (04/29/2011) Week: 3 SW: 148.8 lbs CW: 148 lbs GW: 142 lbs (by friday May 27) Not too bad if you consider Easter 1.8 for the week and .8 since the start of the challenge. That second part is a little disappointing, but I think I am at least moving in the right direction. Other good news... I donated my size 12 jeans…

Hey everyone! Just thought I would check in.... Seems like everyone had a challenging weekend! Don't get discouraged!! This week has been tough knowing that the hard work probably isn't going to show up on the scale this week, because I am making up for the Easter/TOM debacle. My plan is to think long term. Seriously, what…

everyone is doing so well!!!! way to go! I hate to be the first one with BAD news!! I hope it is just that TOM was on the scale with me. I did pretty well with exercise and not too bad with calories, so I am blaming it on water retention. The one thing that I did not do so well, was keep up with the water challenge :( Have…

I confess that I got up early to send out a resume for a job, but I got distracted reading these confessions. I will have to check back later :)

Wow, I don't have any good advice. I just wanted to let you know that I empathize and wish you the best during this difficult time.

LEMON!!! I always forget that I like lemon in my water. If I remember that, I might to better the second half of the week!!

Hey just checking the SW is the SW for this challenge, right? Also: Gabe - Thanks for the reminder email :) Ashmom - Don't stress about the mishap. You can do this. Shandke - Congrats!

Happy Friday everyone! DATE: (04/15/2011) Week: 1 SW: 148.8 lbs CW: 148.8 lbs GW: 142 lbs (by friday May 27) Bring on the water!!!

Yipppeeeee! Thanks!

Hello Everyone! Just curious if it is too late to join this group?

My grandfather used to eat raisins before he would give blood to help with his iron. I never really looked into whether this was a valid approach, but I would check there. Good luck!

Hellooo!! I am at 150.8 and I am hoping to get to 135. I've been a little stalled lately and would love some additional support.

Helloooooo from the North Bay! Gorgeous weekend for certain!

Yes, look out for frosting!!!! My favorite... or least favorite one used to be Mothers Oatmeal Cookies, their old recipe used to have fish gelatin in it!!!! gross to read and imagine, but so glad they put THAT on the label!

aw! sorry to hear about the disappointment.

Thanks everyone! Very helpful!:smile:

So close!! 150.8 this morning. I thought about not weighing in today and letting it slide until tomorrow, but I blew my calories today and thought it wouldn't be enough to send me under. I will just take it. Still moving in the right direction. Great work everyone!

awww! so sweet.

ohh! I have always wanted to check out SXSW. Have a wonderful time!

last week: 152.4 this week: 151.6 loss: .8 Wednesday night is the night that I go to a dinner party at a friend's house and usually don't count my calories... just try to watch my portion control. I've been getting so much better at not overdoing it, but I don't usually feel good about getting on the scale first thing…

SW: 155.2 CW: 152.4 down 2.8 much better than last weeks modest gain. Great job everyone!
