Alright, so I originally joined this thread a while back, but things have been busy and I haven't kept up with it. I am stuck at 187. I'm very impatient, and I know that the whole 40lbs that I want off won't come off within the next week, twoo weeks, or month, but I want to see progress. I want to be at 165 by April 1 so…

Sorry I haven't been back lately. Things have been CRAZY at work. I'm still at 187.2. I'm hoping that I can get it down this week. I want to meet my 175 goal by March 15 and for sure my April 1 goal!

Im a little sad that this group isn't as active as some of the others. :( Well, i'll try to keep the group going. If anyone is still willing to. Let me know! We may just make it a bit smaller! :)

no one can help? really? should I post somewhere else? lol :)

I'm going May 12-17! I'm ready mentally, I'm tired of the cold and rain! BUT, physically I am not ready. I've still got about 40 lbs to go by then! I'm hoping I make it!

Most of the time if you were an early bloomer, then yours won't go down much after weight loss. I got mine overnight basically and I know they won't go anywhere! I think they may go down to a regular D or maybe even a C, instead of the DD i'm at now, But I don't expect anything lower than C because I've never been there.…

I did one of Billy Blanks cardio videos yesterday. Part of his bootcamp. OH. MY. GOSH! I have never sweat so much in my life! It was intense, and I only did 30 minutes of it! I'm hoping I can get through the whole thing! Today I am going to Zumba! :)

bumping this to read later at work.

Instead of diet it was regular cokes for me, with the occasional Coke Zero just to make myself feel better. I would have up to 5 cokes a day, sometimes a bottle sometimes a can. I would get headaches without them! I eventually decided that it wasn't helping me lose weight and it started messing up my stomach. I'd spend a…

Mine doesn't and I'm glad they don't. Some days are just plain boring. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't browse through the message boards...

I just ordered one. I hope it's a good one. It should get here between the 25 and march 5.

I've lost 10lbs, I haven't noticed much, but others have. let's see: - my stomach has shrunk a bit (had to take a photo to actually tell) - I'm happier! I find that when I miss a workout or even on my rest day I just don't feel as good. That's a good thing though. - I'm in a 16 and my size 15s fit me! They are still snug…

I wanted to bump this for later to finish reading and also to add that I am happy to see a study from University of Tennessee...Everytime I read something it has another big university, I like that it shows the one I went to. (weird that I like that, but still)

@earthsember: Weigh-in can be whenever. At first we said Saturday, and most people still stick to that, but if you don't have a chance to on Saturday then that's okay. I go back to the last time I posted a chart and get all the updates from there. I'd like to keep it to once a week though. Monday is fine, Sunday is fine,…

So far I've done Step this week, today I'm going to be adding Pilates. I'm not sure what I'll be doing these next fews days! I'm trying to mix it up a bit.

usually when I am craving a sweet I will eat fruit, yogurt, or drink water. If I'm out and about I will stop and get my some frozen yogurt! I've become obsessed with the stuff! (Also because it's cheap) Sometimes ifI have nutella at home I will eat that with pineapples. If you keep within the serving of Nutella it's not…

If this article is more towards the more sensitive people then it should be stated that way. Not everyone is effected by fruit that way that you have been. You're all for this and saying that everyone needs to cut back on fruit, but not everyone has this problem that you had with fruits. You can't just cut back or leave…

I like this list. I think it would be good to create a mini goal list too. You know something that shows what you'll do when you reach your mid way goal, or a 50lb goal. Sometimes having the small achievements make it easier for you to reach the big goal! It lets you know that you are still moving forward! I liked reading…

just wanted to bump this for later when I get off work. :)

sooo..I just realized it's Sunday! I think I need to add a new challenge! Fitness Challenge: Do a Different type of workout every day. It doesn't have to be your main workout, but just something new. (Ex. If you do 30 day shred everyday, add in something new each day, even if it's only 10 mins.) That's just to change it up…

I have one. I try to add to it at least once a week. It's just me talking about my journey. Some of it may be pointless, other times it's exciting! I talk about my day, things I can't wait to buy, just general stuff. I'm working on a section to add recipes to. here is mine: pattieloss2011.blogspot.com

@lynnellec: You actually told me your start weight was 176,so you have lost 2lbs! @ Everyone: Good job! I'm so glad I started this group! Even when I'm making the challenges it makes me want to keep up with them so I don't have to tell everyone I failed....HOWEVER... I failed this week. I was doing so good throughout the…

please when you post your weigh-in use this form Starting weight: Current Weight: Goal: Just so it's easier for me to add it to the chart and for others to see where you're at. I'm still at 187.2! I lost about 1 lbs since last time so.. Starting Weight: 109 Current weight: 187.2 Goal: 145

I missed todays workout. I worked for 12 hours today, from 8:30 to 9. I have to be back tomorrow at 8:30 so i really just have not had it in me today. I've gone over my sodium a couple days too. It's been because of going out and things like that. I've tried to drink more water on those days though. Tomorrow I'm going to…

yes it's normal. I gained a lbs this week. it will go away aftewards. But just keeping doing everything, eating right and working out and it will stay off. Just because TOM is in town doesn't mean a week off. For me working out helps with cramps! SO it's nice!

Let's see... I have so many things that I can't wait to do! It's amazing the things that become easier when you aren't carrying around so much. - push-ups (currently, I have BAD upper body strength...im working on it) - walk up steps (instead of elevator) and not feel winded after wards - wear a bikini to the beach in May,…

just keeping it up top so everyone can find it. it's been GORGEOUS! here, so I've been outside doing my workouts! Biking, running, walking, running up and down my steps, everything!

My dog LOOOOOVES to do this! Whenever I do my crunches he sits there right next to me and just watches. If I'm doing Pilates mat work then he will try to bite my toes. He licks my face when I'm doing anything with my legs on the mat. He must find whatever I'm doing funny, but it gives him a good excuse to play and give me…

ohh pretty. I'm at 187.2 now. lol. Hopefully when I check-in again it will be a bit lower!

I'm glad everyone liked this weeks challenge. I've been doing movement everyday. I haven't made it to the actual gym yet this week with my friend, but I've been working out here at home. It's been gorgeous outside so I've been running. Today it is supposed to get up to 70!! Thursday and Friday(especially Friday) are going…
