I did this and not only did it completely mess up my cycles, but 5 mos after I went back to the pill (which I took EVERYDAY) I was pregnant with a 3rd child I wasn't expecting to have. Don't get me wrong, he's a blessing, but I certainly wasn't ready for the news...and becasue my cycles were so messed up from the depo…

Hysterectomy...best thing I ever did...no side effects! :happy:

I'd love to join another challenge in June! It's good to help stay on track, keep me motivated!!

I have to say that most of the time it doesn't bother me ... and when it does, what is really bothering me is that I am jealous that I will never have a body like them because I did so much damage to my body from getting so overweight to begin with. If someone has the confidence to post something that can be seen on a…

This! And no, I never did anything that would be an issue.

Thank you for reminding me...I needed this motivator...I've been struggling lately. Have a great day! :flowerforyou:

273.4...I am 169ish now...5'3"

Giants!..I can't stand Brady, his coach or the Patriots! But in my heart I have always been and will be a Steelers girl!!!

Mine is no where near as exciting as yours...grocery shopping, exchanges at Best Buy, swimming, church, free play at casino for the week...ho hum...typical boring weekend! And I might watch the Superbowl, or I might catch up on my recorded TV...I am weeks behind and my team isn't in Indy this week, so I don't know. If it…

Ice Cream...hardest one for me is Ben and Jerry's Pistachio Pistachio....I can't bring a pint home and not expect to eat the whole thing in one sitting...period!

Jack in the Box has a grilled chicken salad for 246 calories (without dressing), with Low Fat Balsamic Dressing add 34 calories.

Feel free to add me...I've lost 100.2 lbs in 13 months...not easy, but it can be done...I put a coupke back on, but I am on my way back down again. Good luck!

I grill chicken tenderloins with rosemary and garlic on my George Foreman grill on Sundays. I make enough to weigh out 5 - 4 ozs servings. Then I cut up celery or cucumbers and an apple or peel an orange or grapefruit. I also sneak in a weight watcher cheese stick, sometimes colby/jack sometimes string, sometimes cheddar.…

I'm only 5'3". I decided 13 months ago it was time to lose weight...so I started my journey...I was 273.4 at my highest weight. Of course, everyone agreed at that time I was doing a good thing. In this 13 months I lost 100.2 lbs for a lowest weight of 173.2. I've put a little back on and I range in the 175ish area...but I…

On Sundays when I am doing laundry and watching football, I make chicken tenderloins on my George Foreman grill with Rosemary and Garlic Powder for the week; I weigh chicken in 4 oz. increments and put in snack sized baggies. Then, each night while I am making dinner for the kids and me, I cut up my veggies (usually…

I've lost 100.2 lbs in 13 months...walking, Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, changing the foods I ate...no sugar or processed carbs for periods of time...then slowly incorporating them in to rebuild tolerance and trying to maintain weight loss accomplished. What got me started was that I saw some pictures my husband had…

On purpose??? LOL

water...all night :drinker:

I did 70 jumping jacks this evening and almost coughed my brains out afterwards...I hate being sick, but I am bound and determined to get myself moving in these challenges. Tomorrow I will do better...I hope.

My goals for this year... 1) At minimum...maintain the 100 lbs I've lost this past 13 months 2) Lose the remaining 25-45 lbs to my original goal (the 45 lbs may be asking too much, so I've given myself a range...25 lbs is the minimum I want to lose) NO LATER THAN June 18...My 40th birthday! 3) Move more - exercise 4-6 days…

Andrea, I posted my weight in a message to you. Also, I notice that my name isn't in the list at the beginning of this thread. I am guessing that's because I was added to the team late. Will you be posting it up there? Thanks.

So if our team challenge is jumping jacks and the Loser challenge is burpees with jumping jacks, do we get to log the burpee jumping jacks as part of our team challenge jumping jacks in addition to the ones we do separate? Just saying...:huh:

LOL...ME TOO!!!

Hi, I am Yvonne. I live in Carson City, NV with my wonderful husband of almost 19 years, my daughter and two sons (14, 12 & 10). I started losing weight last year (Thanksgiving 2010) after I saw some pictures my husband took of me team momming for my youngest son's soccer team and an annual visit to the doctors office…

Thank you for the shirts Andrea...they are awesome!

I do...it's a cup of hot water with a tea bag...if nothing is added, count it!

Non Scale Victory

I went to Wal Mart and bought a jug that holds 2.2 L (or 74.4 oz) of water. Before I leave my house in the morning I drink 3 - 12 oz glasses of water which I guage as about 3 glasses...then when at work I set a goal to drink the jug of water before I leave work...that gives me approximately 11 glasses by 3 pm...before I…
