Well, Friday I was down to 238, but yesterday when I weighed I was back to 241...I don't know what happened since I ate hospital food all weekend for every meal. Hopefully it's just water weight because I was really sooo excited to break the 240's.

Welcome! It's great to have you!

SW: 247 CW: 240 7 lbs down so far! I'm very pleased!

Week 1 weight: 240 Hips- 51 Thigh- 28 Arm- 16 Waist- 48

SW: 247 CW: 241 I've lost 6 pounds so far. One week left to go and 4 more pounds to lose. CRUNCH TIME! Good luck everyone!

Sorry, crazy day yesterday! My weight and measurements as of 5/16 were Weight: 242.2 Bust: 49 in Waist: 47 in Hips: 51.5 in Thigh: 28.5 in Upper Arm: 15.5 in

You look FANTASTIC!

When I was little I had an imaginary blue monkey that lived in the pantry. I used to feed him popcorn and cherrios and wouldn't eat unless he had food too. In social situations I'm not outgoing enough to say the witty things I'm thinking so I usually have an innermonologue going and just laugh to myself. I can be a little…

LOVE IT! Great idea by the way!

Honey, everything tastes better with cheese lmbo! I've banned velveeta from the house!

Hello and welcome!

Feel free to add me too!

ooh, yeah it's under the motivation and support message board. :happy:

BUMP :)

Feel free to add me! Also, I just joined a battle of the bulge that starts on monday...seems like a really fun group of people if you are interested check it out!

My total weight loss goal is 100 lbs. I'd like to see 160 again...I hate to say it but I gained 100lbs in 6 years. WOW... the crazy thing about it all is that the BMI calculator shows my "healthy' range at 130-140. I haven't seen that since I was a freshman in high school.

Thanks everyone for the advice! Since I am currently losing between 1-2 pounds per week I think I'll just keep doing what I've been doing and be happy that I am seeing results! :happy: I'll get there one day!

I keep leaning that was as well. I'm 5' 7" and currently weigh 244. I started out at 260 a few months ago. However, since I started using MFP I've been losing between 1-2 pounds per week. I just keep thinking that it's so close to breaking a milistone that maybe if I pushed myself more physically I could achieve it.

I love this challenge! You should be a motivational speaker... great intro! Please count me in!

Starting weight was 247 Today's weight is 244 3 lbs lost so far

You are probably gaining muscle that will help you burn more fat in the long run. Keep up the good work. You might start taking your body measurements so you can see the inches coming off. It's a great motivator when you feel stuck. I only lost two pounds this week, but I have lost 2 inches in my waist and 1 1/2 off my…

It's most likely water weight. Your body can fluctuate up to five pounds in water weight alone. I would suggest waiting longer between weigh ins. Good luck! : )

Wow...the results here are inspirational! I just started P90X last week, and was only able to complete about half of each workout. I'll get there, but I've got a long road ahead of me! How are you tracking calories burned?

SW: 247 Week 1: 246 1 pound lost : ( Will work harder next week.

We started P90X this last week.... love and hate it lol. What did you enter to find the calories burned?

You said it! Welcome from me too!

Count me in! I'd love to lose 10! Starting weight is 247

Hello Matt, this site is awesome and offers a ton of encouragement! Good luck! Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like.

Welcome to MFP! I'm pretty new here as well, and have been very excited about all of the support to be found on this site! I'm sending you a friend request. It's nice to have the extra motivation and support from time to time. I think 8lbs per month is reasonable as long as you stick with it and don't get too discouraged…

I know that I am late, but I'd love to join! I really need to burn some calories....awesome challenge! SW: 247
