Wow! What a change! That's awesome! I'm about to turn 30 in 3 months and want to be well on my way to a better lifestyle by then! Your hard work has paid off!

Okay so I fell off the wagon for a bit here! It's time to get serious again! My last weigh in, 9/27 was at 276.5, above where I wanted to be right now but still progress! I plan on working harder to get down to my 262 by 10/22. It looks like you guys are all doing great! Keep up the awesome work!

I appreciate all of your kind words! Thanks everyone for keeping me so motivated!!! Karissa

[/quote] So, it's the 23rd. The day of reckoning. Eating good all month, working out five days of week doing both cardio and hitting the weights. I'm ready to face the scale. I get up energized, grab the scale out of the closet (put it there to avoid temptation), and literally run to the bathroom to see my progress.…

For my weigh-in today: So the scale I've been weighing in on is broken, but I'm going to use my 282.2 reading from a few days ago. I feel like I have lost some more but we will see as soon as I get another good scale!

Oh I would have raised hell too! You don't mess with a Mama's baby!!! And you DEFINITELY don't forget a 5 year old on the bus!!!

I'm horrible at this! Especially if I REALLY wanted more but only made enough for my daughter and myself! This is gross but I LOVE bread, I think I like the crust better than the pizza. Nobody else in my house eats their crust so I'm always very helpful on pizza nights and take the plates to the kitchen...so I can eat the…

That's a great feeling I'm sure! Congratulations!

That's okay! Just keep going! I feel like I'm struggling to lose right now too but that just means it's on even more for my September goal!!!

I hope today is going good for you! I think it's better than yesterday for me, especially because my daughter was so excited to go into school today that she forgot to say bye to me!!!

Happy Monday everyone! I weighed myself this morning and was at 282.2, as long as I keep going this way I think I'll be on a good track for my goal! My week started out with my baby's first day of Kindergarten so here's to staying on track!!!

Wow great job on your weight loss so far!!! That's amazing!

After weighing myself today and yesterday I'm 2-3 lbs away from my goal for the month and have a week to go until my weigh in! I am so happy to see some results! I've been reading everyone else's posts and it looks like everyone is doing great! (even if we do slip up once in a while!) Stay motivated and on track everyone!!!

This is why I love this site so much, without all of you I would have had a moment but it wouldn't have nearly as special without the encouragement from each of you! I appreciate it more than you will know!!! Karissa

Please feel free to add me! I started MFP before but only used it to track my calories/exercise. I love meeting new people and experiencing ups and downs with everyone!!!

You guys have me all teary eyed over here :laugh: :happy:

Thank you everyone for your support! I appreciate it!

Everyone seems like they are doing great! I am really only on day 2 of trying hard to lose weight and so it's constantly running through my mind! I had to look at every bag of chips in the gas station...but I didn't get any, I'm pretty proud of myself :-)

Hello Ladies! This is a great challenge and I think it may be exactly what I need to really keep myself motivated!!! I'm Karissa, 29, from Illinois and I want to have made a big dent in my weight loss goals by my 30th birthday, since yesterday marked my half birthday all of my procrastination has hit me in the face!!! My…

Great job!!!

I have always had an excuse, no time, too stressed, it was cheaper to eat fast food, you name it. I've been through a lot the last few years and have decided it's time to do this for me and nobody else!!!
