Thanks so much for all the encouragement. This site really is wonderful!! I think i am a very emotional eater and when things start to go badly i head right for food. It is my drug of choice..lol. I do throw in the towel too quicky... i really do believe that if i don't have instant results then what i do is not working. I…

Weighed in and i am 257.8! weight before was 261.2 yay!!!! hope everyone is doing well and had a safe 4th!:happy:

:heart: Hey everyone! :heart: My weight is the same from last week 261.2... yuck! here is to picking myself up and trying really hard this week to lose!

Thanks!!! so I suck at the challenges for this week so far. I barely drank any water yesterday, and I did not stretch or walk last night... pretty bad. today i am back on track with my water intake though!

Thanks for keeping track of me :happy: Sometimes on the weekends I only log calories from my IPhone app, so I don't get to go on the boards :sad: I am working on that!!

Sorry I have been MIA... crazy weekend... did the weigh in, and I am 261.2! yay! sorry i am a day late!!

I on the other hand am in my cubicle all day today. Luckily it is cloudy in Boston. Today is a good day so far... I did eat one chocolate covered strawberry, but I resisted the doughnuts that someone brought in. Tonight I will go to the gym, to work off that strawberry...lol I am a little nervous about the weekend though.…

that is awesome!!! I think it is pretty normal to see a change that quick. If you are drastically changing your lifestyle. Plus you always lose weight in your face and hands first... so that is a good sign!!!!

I feel the same way!! I actually went months without weighing myself for this reason exactly!!! Just pick yourself up and try again!!

You are not alone! I do this all the time. I am going to try to do the same thing, and not eat after 8 pm. It is just so hard cause you get hungry and start to think, Oh no big deal, i will just eat one cookie, or one chip... well for me one = one hundred! lol. Just stick with it and you will be in that bikini in no time!

Good morning everyone! Wanted to check in and say that yesterday was really hard for me. I stayed ended up going over my calories by about 150... and i didn't excercise... one good thing about yesterday was that I logged everything I ate , and I usually forget something or leave something out. So one small success : ) Are…

my ultimate goals are to start running, not even a 5k, just to be able to run for more than 5 minutes without wanting to die! lol I want to shop in regular stores again, no plus sizes!!! I want to wear cute tank tops and shorts... These legs have not been seen in a while! I just want to feel comfortable in my skin again, I…

IT sounds like you are describing me here, Lisa. I am with you on this one! I am so tired of falling short of my goals as well, it is frustrating and just sets me back even further than i was before! This journey is so tough, probably one of the toughest things I have had to do so far... I am glad that there are others…

Hahaha, That is ok, I always get Labor day and Memorial day confused. Labor day is September 6th. Trace, that sounds like an awesome workout! Last night I did a zumba class, and it was great. It is more like a zumba boot camp though because there are a ton of squats, lunges and free weights... kicked my butt! I did alright…

Well I am glad to see I am not the only one that LOVES FOOD! I am also glad to see that I am not this only talker : ) :happy: This is going to be a great challenge!!

Let me start by saying I am really excited about this challenge and meeting all of you guys and finding out that maybe i am not the only one that is obsessed with food... or maybe I am : ) My name is Renee, i am single and I live in Boston. I have not always been overweight it actually started to creep up in my teenage…

Yay! I have been looking for a challenge to participate in. My goal for this week is to not eat any take out, drink more water and excercise 4x. I do zumba on mondays and spin class on saturdays... so that is 2 days that I have to work out on my own... lets see if i can hack it. lol I think my biggest challenge with losing…

I would like to join this challenge... sw - 265 I am psyched!

I am totally interested, and yes this seems overwhelming!!! But I am in!

That is amazing! you are so strong and have been through so much.. this will be nothing. Congratulations on beating the cancer, and good luck on your next journey : ):smile:

I do a zumba boot camp class once a week, it is awesome! so much fun, before you know it 60 minutes has passed!!
