yay for u!!!! before and after pics are so encouraging to others! great job :)

hmmm....strange, no missy anywhere.... well, i have been stagnant for awhile now. no change on the scale this week. i need to make some changes in my diet/exercise i think.

Happy St. Patties Day! well, I am very happy to report that I also lost all the water weight I loaded on last week. Thats the good news. the not so good news is that all i did was lose what i gained last week so these last 2 weeks have been a wash. no progress. but thats ok. glad to work out of that set back! ok., so I am…

I hear ya! i've only lost 10 lbs but i figured i'd be able to see or feel some kind of difference by now....but nope. can't tell. its strange how our bodies work, bc I have a friend who has only lost 4 lbs and her pant size has gone down and she says she can see a difference in her back and waist already. and then i hear…

hiya! well, i havent posted anything on here for awhile so i thought i'd add to what olive said....this site really is so helpful. my favorite thing is being able to go through ups and downs with everyone while we are all working toward a common goal. for the most part i am the "big girl " of my group of friends and while…

hmmm...sounds like pizza was the bad guy this weekend. I had people over too and had pizza. And if thats not bad enough I just had the left overs for lunch! On a positive note it was thin crust and not the stuffed crust that I would normally have...makes it a little bit better right?! must do better for dinner and work my…

Wow, I def don't agree with that! I am only 27 and hoping to be able to rock the the 2 piece very soon but I know that when I am out and see an "older" woman wearing one, and wearing it well, my first thought is " you go girl! ". I very much don't think that age should be a deciding factor for who should wear one as much…

well, only down .5 of a lb. better than nothing though! new weight is 193.5 mini goal : 189 by march 10th I am ready to fix the mistakes i made this week so I can can kick next weeks butt!

done!! I am using an elliptical crosstrainer and I am becoming a junkie when it comes to that thing. I make it a goal to do 60 min on it at least 4 times a week. I dont know how accurate the calorie counter on it is but I hit anywhere from 750 to 800 each session. whether it is right or not is irrelevant to me though…

everyone is doing such a great job!! its really motivating to see others sticking to it and getting results and even more encouraging to hear those of you that have a bad day staying positive about making sure the next day is a better one. way to go us!! last week : 196 this week : 194

thanks fit in 2010! I'll look into it!

Well, I ended up losing 2 lbs since last wed! So my current/start weight for our challenge is 196. I am really very excited about that 2 lb loss and I am now 8 lbs lighter than jan 23rd when i found this site. I have never counted calories, just watched what I ate...and boy does it open your eyes when you can actually put…

man i had a really bad day today! no breakfast, ate out for lunch and for dinner. not good. i'm a little nervous about tomorrows weigh in, hope i didnt ruin it! so, how do you guys feel about the "free day" idea? i know alot of people who are successful in their weightloss goals but allow themselves one day a week to eat…

Hi, I would love to join! My name is Amber, I'm 27 and have always been a little chunky ( around 160 ) and was comfortable with myself. I just recently topped out at 205 and decided that this is a trend that I cannot continue. My doctor says my healthy weight is between 130 and 140. I am happy with myself at 140-150…

wow! way to go!!! that is so great!

Hi! WoW...i know what you mean! i have the same issue and i havent quite mastered controlling those cravings. i try to make good decisions. i just try to minimize the damage by cutting in half whatever it is i would normally eat during this time. for me it is brownies that i cannot live without during my TOM, so instead of…

hey, it could be a number of things. if you have started exercising you may need to change your calorie intake, more exercise means you should make sure you have enough fuel ( calories ) your hunger pains are probably a really good sign!! if you are eating the right things more regularly than you used to your metabolism is…

welcome!! looks like you are going to be bombarded with questions!!! I'm going to add to the list :happy: so, i ( like most people ) have a crazy schedule. i have a 2 yr old little girl with cystic fibrosis who requires a lot of at home treatments and just all around attention all the time. i also have a wonderful 5 yr old…

thanks :happy: i would be thrilled with 2 lbs a week but i have given myself the expectation that if i continue to work out i may not see the difference on the scale but i will eventually see it in my body, which after all is the ultimate goal. i just tend to get a little over zealous when i first start to see that number…

oh! sorry about the rant then :)

hey congrats on that 40...thats awesome! keep it up!

hmm...i've never tried the water fast but i was following this chick who did it and ended up losing like 40 lbs in 30 days but the after effects are horrible and to do this for more than a couple of days seems very unhealthy. i just have this mindset that starving your body of food will absolutely get you results but the…
