Kendal- I want to see more pictures! You look FAB in the two you posted! Really cute! Geez this thread is moving fast! Just a quick check in, as my work day is pretty busy. Check in from yesterday, because I'm doing this again! 1691 eaten / 1360 exercise calories / 869 left over Ran the 8 miles. Went sort of okay. My…

I totally dig the pants size goal. I've been waffling in the size 14/16 range for like 6 months now (i HATE that every shop's size means something different). I'd finally like to venture into 12 territory. I think it was pretty early on in high school since I was that size. Amy and Nava- I'm enjoying "Game of Thrones" so…

Morning ladies! Don't have a chance to respond to everyone, but I love it that the thread continues to be so lively! Back to logging foods this morning, which always helps me stay in line, because I have to measure/count. Made a yumy asparagus/sugar snap pea dish last night, which I have for leftovers today for lunch with…

Hailie- I'm taking the last weigh in you did for the last challenge of 259 as your starting one for this one. Yes, it's been a few days probably since you weighed in, but as this week's weigh in starts in just a few days, it averages out. Nava- I like INSANITY. I was trying to do it and train for a half-marathon at the…

Welcome all the new participants! Nava- Welcome! Crazy restrictive diets work.. but only in the short-term. Take it slow, and it's more likely to stay off! bwildered- Welcome as well! Great job on all the weight loss so far. Very impressive! You've got quite some exercise goals! A few people in this group (including…

So an update on my end, as I didn't respond to the other challenge thread. I bit the bullet and stepped on the scale this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see that I really hadn't gained weight. I hadn't lost weight, but I was prepared to see a 180something back on the scale, and I was 177.6. Whew. I started off the…

it starts now! This is week one of the challenge. Our first weigh in will be between Friday and Monday this week.

Our final weigh ins for our "Pushin' For Less Cushion" Challenge: Name/Starting Challenge Weight/ Last weeks' Weight / Final Weight (Week's Loss) (Challenge's Loss) (% Weight Lost) Kristina / 178.4 / PASS / 177.6 (-) (-0.8) (0.45%) Victoria / 191.75 / 187 / 188 (+1) (-3.75) (1.96%) Kendal / 216.2 / 220.8 / 218.8 (-2.0)…

EEEP! I'm SO sorry. I definitely have your weight on my spreadsheet. Instead of cut/pasting it like I sometimes do, I was just typing it in and missed your row. I would never forget you hun! *mwah* Andrea- I adopted a dog in January. I had been thinking about it for a long time, and adopted Emma from the humane society.…

So, I might have had a nacho incident last night, which led me to skip the scale this morning, but I need to face the music tomorrow. Weather is looking crappy outside which does not bode well for my 6m run, because I don't do rain, but then again, I also don't do the treadmill, so this is a problem. If I don't run today,…

Here's the chart for this past week: Name / Starting Challenge Weight / Last Week's Weight / This week's weight (difference) Kristina / 178.4 / 178.0 / 176.0 (-2.0) Victoria / 191.75 / 187.75 / 187.75 (0) Kendal / 216.2 / PASS / PASS Lacey / 208.4 / 205.6 / PASS Amy / 203 / 201.2 / 201.2 (0) Sarah / 229 / 223.2 / 221…

is it bad that some guy IM'ed me, and I was looking at his profile, liking what I saw until I saw that his favorite band was linkin park? Totally lost my girl boner. Oh dear... this online thing is going to be interesting...

Last call for weigh ins... I'm missing: Eunice Angela Eve Amber Forgive me if you posted and I missed the weight!

Remember to get your weights in by later today, as I'd like to post this week's chart this evening! Lacey- thanks for the advice. I set up a profile on match (but haven't paid yet) as well as okcupid, cause it was free, and I have a friend who met her current bf through there. Have already spoken with a couple of people…

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Was not a great eating weekend for me (bad girl!!), but could be worse, I suppose. I was supposed to do a "recovery" 4 mile run today, but it just didn't happen. I did do my 6-miler with my running group on Saturday, which I was proud of myself for, as it was very early! This week is…

I said it below, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDAL!! :drinker: :heart: Amber- yep, I didn't post the chart this week. I got most of everyone's weight, but I was sick and didn't come back to the boards until yesterday, when it's pretty much weigh in week for this week. I'll have the weights from last week when I post this week's…

I stepped on the scale this morning, wincing at what the number was and it came back 178.0! Very pleasantly surprised. Weigh-in 2 weeks ago was 177.2, so I'm not up much at all. I'll take it. It's nice to see it won't take much to get things back on the road for me. Weather should cooperate today and I plan to do a 6-miler…

Hello ladies! Remember me? I skimmed through the posts, but there's no way I'll be able to catch up with everyone! I did make notes of people's weights. I apologize for not posting the chart this week. By the point, I'll just point next week's one. Congrats on everyone who lost! Dear lord, this thread moved fast over the…

Victoria- best of luck at your half this weekend!!! I'll definitely be thinking about you, and wishing I was running it with you... I've got another month and a half to go before mine!

Check in from yesterday: 1467 eaten / 287 exercise calories / 20 under (whew!) I only took Emma for a walk yesterday and then took her to the dog park in the evening, which she loved, and it's a pretty big park, so I kept walking around the perimeter the whole time she was there, so there was some added exercise. Did not…

Don't yet have a chance to read everyone's responses, but I wanted to check in quickly, as I don't know if I'll have any time during the day today. In about 5 minutes I hop on my second conference call of the day. Yes, 9am will be my second one. I am on SIX hours of calls today. ACK! UGH! *dies* Check in from yesterday:…

Dang it! I had my post almost complete, when I had to leave for a meeting and I locked my computer, but it kicked me off. Argh! Here's my check in from yesterday: 1265 eaten / 734 exercise calories earned / 669 left over. Now that's more like it. Much better eating yesterday. Ran 4.07m at an 11:29 pace with Emma. Felt good…

Back to posting my numbers! 1434 eaten / 155 exercise calories / 79 OVER Okay, not the best way to start, but I wasn't over by a lot, and it's a decent start to hopping back on the bandwagon. I didn't end up INSANITY-ing it yesterday. I had a mondo headache the afternoon through the evening. I think it was cause I was…

Angela- I started my journey in October of 2009 at 230 pounds... I'm now somewhere in the high 170's. I've had a couple of bigger loss weeks, but in general, it's been a pretty slow and steady loss for me (1-2 pounds/week), with a couple of plateaus, that I just had to power through. If you keep up at it, you will see…

AND... this week's weight loss: Name / Starting Challenge Weight / Last Week's Weight / This Week's Weight (difference) (% body weight lost) Kristina / 178.4 / 177.2 / PASS Victoria / 191.75 / 189.75 / 188 (-1.75) (0.92%) Kendal / 216.2 / PASS / PASS Lacey / 208.4 / 208.2 / 206.4 (-1.8)(0.86%) Amy / 203 / 203 / 201.2…

Everyone get their weights in and I'll post the chart this evening. Morning ladies! I'm alive and back! I'll have to go back and read over everyone's posts. I'm back in the game. Last week overall was just a bust, which I'm not terribly surprised about. 2 long weekend "vacations", with only two days of work does not make…

And here's this past week's chart. Again, apologize for the delay on it! The format is as follows: Name / Challenge Starting Weight / This Week's Weigh in (-Pounds lost/gained)(% body weight lost) Kristina / 178.4 / 177.2 (-1.2)(0.67%) Victoria / 191.75 / 189.75 (-2.0)(1.04%) - welcome back to the 180s! Kendal / 216.2 /…

Just a quick check in while I'm on a conference call at work... I'll post the chart this evening when i get home. Amy- Yeah, I don't mind running with people who are faster, because they will usually slow down for me, and I'll speed up for them... it's a good push, but they didn't even try. *grumbles* So, I'm trying to get…

Hey ladies! I'm alive and back from Pittsburgh! It definitely was hilly-- the hike up to the medical center was INSANE. Did my long run yesterday... about 6.3m at a 11:30ish pace, which I'm pleased with. I already vented it my status, but I was feeling a bit crankypants about doing it because 1)the weather was crappy 2)my…

Checking in from yesterday: 1571 eaten / 156 exercise calories / 215 over. Yes.. over! Ugh. I did update it in my status thread, but I got home yesterday from work and my body was just tired, and all I wanted to do was lay on the couch on bond with my dog. (i'm still feeling guilty about leaving her for 4 days). So, I…
