I didn't decide to lose weight just to get pregnant, but it was definitely on the to do list. I went from 212 pounds May 13, 2013 to 154 pounds October 4th 2013. It was too much weight too fast, and my body fought me, the biggest problem was that my period was coming every two weeks! So late August I decided to ditch the…

Thanks so much!

I love my flex. I let it negatively effect my allowed calories, so when I see that I have 250 less calories to eat unless I get moving really helps to motivate me!

Thanks so much for all the time you put into this. I can't believe I was third in pounds lost and second in percentage. I am getting closer and closer to my goal each day and this wonderful group is helping to keep me accountable. Good luck in August everybody!

Haha, yup. I started this journey at size 18. I quickly dropped to 16's (and had many options in my closet to pick from). Then I found two pairs of 14's left over from my 'skinny' days and those fit! Last week I told a friend I was so happy to be down to size 14 and she said no freakin way that I was at least a 12. So she…

Awesome! Your journey is so close to mine, started at 212 and size 18 and I'm now down to 169. I too just tried on a size 12 (jeans) and they totally fit! Woohoo! Keep up the good work.

Sounds good to me! I have been giving to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for every 10 pounds lost already. Can't wait for the August Challenge, these challenges are helping me stay on track. 13 pounds gone in both June and July! Bring on August!

Goal 1: Be able to fit on all the rides at Universal for trip on June 13, 2013 (CHECK) Goal 2: Finish the Warrior Dash in an hour or less on July 27, 2013 (CHECK - 59 minutes) Goal Weight 1: Lose 26 pounds by August 30, 2013 (I am 1 pound away from this goal) Goal Weight 2: Lose 20 pounds by November 28, 2013 Goal Weight…

About 4 days before my period and the first two days of my period I want to eat, all the time. It is so hard not to scarf down everything I see. Because of this I make sure that even though I feel like crap I still get at least some exercise in and I still do my weigh-ins every Friday morning. I am switching my birth…

Awesome! Great job!

Thanks so much for all the work you put into this! Good luck everybody! Here is to a great July!

C for me. I plan on doing a slightly longer workout that morning and simply enjoying the BBQ. I still keep track of everything, but I am not a stickler for maintaining my points. I will still eat smart, only 1 dessert item, not too much pasta salad type foods. I'll eat a hotdog or hamburger with either no bun or half a…

I agree! Would love to do this for another month! This group helped keep me motivated and I lost 13 pounds! I went from 'obese' to 'overweight'! Crazy! I have another 13 to lose to hit my first goal weight of 170. Maybe I'll be able to repeat 13 pounds in 1 month and meet my goal by my 29th birthday at the end of July.…

I agree, making it a goal helped me remember to keep drinking it. My water bottle holds 24 ounces. At first I had to remember to fill it at least 3 times. Towards the end of the week I was filling it 5 times a day most days. Although my husband is complaining that I'm using too much water and toilet paper.

Good job this week! I hit all the mini goals this week! In fact all but one day I did 50 jumping jacks. I've stuck with my C25K program this week even though it's been kicking my butt and I HATE running. I am not looking forward to next week, I think I have to run for 2 minutes at a time. Met my ultimate goal this week of…

I am nervous about tomorrow weigh-in. I upped my calories this week and I changed my workout routine. M-W-F I do couch to 5k and I try to do something else physical (lawn, laundry, workout DVD) The rest of the week I go to the gym. I met with a trainer a week ago and he put me on a nice schedule, hopefully I'll see results…

That's awesome! 299 here you come!!!

Great willpower!!

Good additions! Thanks!

I didn't study and I ended up needing to take an algebra class, an easy one, so I could qualify for harder math classes. This didn't surprise me as I usually sucked at math. I rocked my college math classes, random. You'll do fine, study a little if you want, but I would just go take it.

That is how I am understanding it. I am going to start week 1 today though (figure it can't hurt).

Woohoo! Thanks for making this group.

Thanks so much for this! This seems like such a good way to stay motivated and help push myself a little more each day! Good luck everybody! Off to do some jumping jacks :-)

I go to the bar and order my drink, which is always water. They will make it up to look just like a gin and tonic or martini or whatever you preference. I do this when I want to avoid people hassling me about 'not drinking'. I also make sure that I eat healthy before I go so that I can 'splurge' and get a little something…
