Goal: 175 7/18: 179.9 - gained a few ounces over the weekend. Summer fun, not enough exercise.... Hopefully the next 2 weeks will be better!

I vote for Friday weigh ins starting from August! Weekends are just horrible and it is great to have the week to makeup for slacking off during the weekend. Pretty please!

Name: fabmama Goal: 175 7/1: 180.8 7/5: 180.6 7/11: 180.6 I'm just glad I didn't gain after a week of vacation. I'm hoping to ramp things up this week and next! Icecream is my weakness. Stay away from me Cold Stone Creamery and all these so called frozen yogurt places that still have calorie laden treats!

Didn't get to post yesterday as I was enroute back home from the long weekend. Goal: 175 7/1: 180.8 7/5: 180.6 (not bad after the weekend!)

I would also like to weigh in a day early because I'm out of town for the holiday weekend. So I'll repost with my starting weight. Name: fabmama Goal weight on July 30: 175 07/01 (6/30): 180.3 07/06: 07/13: 07/20: 07/27: 07/30:

Wow I thought I was being proactive but it looks like everyone is already on board! Name: fabmama Goal weight on July 30: 175 07/01: 07/06: 07/13: 07/20: 07/27: 07/30:

My Goal weight June 30 was 178 6/1: 183.4 6/6: 182.1 6/13: 182.5 6/20: 179.9 6/30: 180.3 - Business trip :-( So I lost 3.1 lbs in June. Didn't meet my goal but I am ecstatic because I have been trying to lose weight ALL YEAR and I didn't lose anything till this month. This group rocks! Can't wait for July.

6/1: 183.4 6/6: 182.1 6/13: 182.5 6/20: 179.9 Yippee! Finally out of the 180s and I plan to stay out! What did I do right this week - exercise and monitor my eating at nights and during the weekend. I have 1.9 pounds to lose to get to my goal by the end of the month - God help me!

6/1 183.4 6/6 182.1 6/13 182.5 boohoo! After an amazing week in which I got down to 179.5 on Friday morning - I completely relaxed over the weekend and the scale punished me for it this morning!!!

Excellent article! I went through the phases but never had anyone set expectations for me the way you have outlined. I am definitely in Phase 4 on my way to Phase 5 and I basically abandoned ship almost a year ago because I was overly satisfied with the progress I had made and was tired of keeping up - plus my personal…

Good point about not just posting numbers Alyson! I have gained from reading everyone's comments so I will add mine. After a great stretch last year when I lost 20 pounds I have been on a plateau and inching slightly upwards. That is why I am ecstatic about my 1.3 pound lost this past week. What did I do differently? I…

Thanks! I stepped on the scale last night and I was 183.2 (I guess I lost weight since last week!) so please correct my starting weight.

I just joined myfitnesspal today and would like to join this group (even though I know you wanted only fifty participants) because it seems very organized and I need all the help I can get! I would really like to lose at least 10 pounds by my vacation in August so this is perfect! If all that fails how about the fact that…
