Afternoon all! The scale was moving in the correct direction this morning... 181.6 from 183.0 yesterday. Granted, it's just a day and there's always movement. Just glad not to see it in the opposite direction. Ran basically 2.5 miles with Emma yesterday.. kept up my 11:20ish pace, which I'm pretty stocked with. I tell you,…

Hello ladies! Today is going well so far. Am logging my foods, as I should, so that's a good start! I'll need to actually measure how much soup I put in my container tomorrow though. Made an easy curried red lentil soup over the weekend, which is delicious! Will either walk or run with Emma this evening. My legs feel a bit…

Suzieqdiva- welcome! If you look at my first post, you can learn a bit more about the challenge, but we're a friendly group. Just jump in and start posting! I added you to my spreadsheet I'm keeping track of. Check in again Friday through Monday morning for the weekly weigh in! Lacey- yay for new running shoes! Break them…

:drinker: Go Karen!! :drinker: *twirls*

And now... starting weights for this six-week challenge. I used your final weight for the last challenge if you're a returnee OR your last weight you registered for the challenge. If you did NOT weigh in for a final time for the last challenge, I did not include you on this list, unless you're a long-time (more than one…

Okay, firstly, here is the chart for our New Year's Challenge: Name/Starting Challenge Weight/Ending Challenge Weight/% Weight Lost, Pounds Lost Note: If you didn't weigh in this week, I took your last weigh in as your final challenge weight. Kristina / 182.4 / 182.4 / 0%, -0 Amy / 220 / 211.2 / 4%, -8.8 Kim / 203 / 196 /…

Good afternoon all! I updated the chart for our last challenge, but didn't get a chance to post it this morning. I will do so when I get home tonight as well as post everyone's starting weights for this challenge. If you want to be included and haven't posted your starting weight, please do so. Welcome to all the newbies!…

Yay for a new challenge. It was perfect timing, as I see Karen tried to respond to the old thread, and it started a part 2 thread-- was meant to be! I've got your weight as 255, and will put it on the chart. Welcome newbies! If you didn't post a starting weight, please do so, and I'll add you to the new chart. officernice-…

FYI: here are peep's weigh-ins I pulled from the end of our last challenge. If you haven't done your final weigh-in, please post it, so I can get the chart up tomorrow morning, at the latest: Kim: 196.5 (WELCOME TO ONEderland! *twirls*) Amy: 211.2 Amber: 237.5 And Lacey, I did like your challenge name, but it was my bad…

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: NEW THREAD Y'ALL :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Keep an eye out for 200+ Slimmin' down in Spring!

Afternoon ladies! Time for an actual update. I just want to get the chart out there for you all to see. I apologize for the tardiness of it. So yeah, things haven't been going terribly well on the health front. I feel like just when I am getting the motivation, I somehow get out my the routine I set for myself. Example: I…

Geez, I fall off the face of the earth, and I don't see nearly enough weigh-ins with you all! These are the only ones I found while trolling: Kristina 184 (TOM... don't talk to me) Karen 256.6 (0) Victoria 187.5 (-1.5) Amber 239 (-1.0) Bethany 188.6 (?) hmfishy 232 (-3.0) Sarahthes 243 (-1.0) Last week of the challenge.…

Amy- congrats on the loss this week. You totally deserve it with all the crazy amount of exercise you do!! Sorry I haven't checked in this week. It's been sort of crazy, and I've not been good on the food front. Totes falling off the wagon on that end, and the scale was incredibly unfriendly. And now TOM is supposed to…

these look great! Will definitely have to try!

Here's our weigh in chart for the week. Let me know if I missed you! I took off peeps who haven't weighed in for more than 2 weeks in a row: Kristina / 182.4 / 180.6 / 179.0 / 179.6 / PASS Amy / 220 / 215.6 / 215.6 / 215 / 213.2 (-1.8) Kim / 203 / 202 / ? / 200.5 / ? Kendal / 219.6 / 216.8 / 218.6 / 218 / 217.6 (-0.4)…

Morning ladies. I'm alive!! I've completely neglected you (and MFP in general over the past few days) and the scale is showing it. I had pizza twice (TWICE!!) this week, including last night, so the scale was way up this morning. Like 4 pounds up this morning. Ugh. I know some of it is sodium, but I'm definitely up a bit.…

This looks great! Definitely saving to make in the future!

Afternoon ladies! Looks like I have a lot of posts to catch up on! I think TOM will be arriving within a week or so for me, which I'm not excited about. Things are going well with Emma, but I haven't gotten to the gym this week. Eek? We're doing 2-40ish minute walks a day and a pretty brisk pace, so I'm definitely moving,…

Holy heck ladies.... I had to go back 6 pages to find the thread! Unacceptable!! Debra- glad you think Emma is cute. She is quite the mutt. You know, she could have some dalmation in her, but I don't know. The humane society said beagle/pit, but I don't know. She sort of has hound-y coloring, though her white areas are…

Morning ladies! Emma is settling in nicely to her new place. She slept through the night on her bed in my room. I didn't sleep fantastic, as I was hyperaware of her moving at times, but as time goes on, we'll get used to one another. She's not 100% housetrained, so I was nervous about her piddling at night, but she was…

Sara-- I plugged in your starting weight into my excel spreadsheet for future weeks. Thanks for the compliments on my puppy! She's pretty adorable. It's going to take some time before she completely comes out of her shell, as she's still adjusting to my place. First step will be when I'm gone for 4ish hours for a training…

My exciting news??? I got a dog! You know I've been lusting after one for a long time, and I finally got the go ahead from the landlords and the holidays have passed. I went to the Humane Society just to look (right) and fell in love with this gal, they named Frannie, but I've since named Emma. She's a beauty!! I'm hoping…

Time for our weight loss chart. I probably missed some folks, and I didn't do % loss this week, because I couldn't find my handy dandy calculator, so this'll have to do: Starting Weight/week1/week2/week 3(loss) Kristina / 182.4 / 180.6 / 179.0 / 179.6 (+0.6) Amy / 220 / 215.6 / 215.6 / 215 (-0.6) Kim / 203 / 202 / ? / ?…

So much to catch up on! Morning ladies!! I'm alive. Still getting over my cold. All I want to do is sleep. I haven't exercised for a few days while recovering, even though I feel like I should. Victoria, I haven't run since my short run (3.2m) last week, and that's the longest I've done in a while. My long run this weekend…

Morning ladies! I'm still feeling pretty sick... not horrendously so, but not great. I took off a bit early from work yesterday and napped, but I'm still pretty congested and cruddy in the throat. Needless to say, I didn't exercise yesterday. I did go out to eat last night (thai-yum), and I was up on the scale this…

Morning ladies! I'm still relatively sick. I might even leave work a bit early today. I had thought about taking off or working from home, but I had to go into the office today. Might cut the day short. Was at 180 this morning, which doesn't please me, but I know it's just a day, and I did have that Applebees issue earlier…

Hey ladies. Today is just flying by so far. I'm stil feeling this semi-cold. Sort of congested and my throat is gunky, but am able to function. Unfortunately my voice is comng and going, which makes the 2 therapy sessions I have today a wee bit difficult. One down, one to go. Food should be good today, which I definitely…

I've got Zombieland in my netflix instant queue, but haven't watched it yet. Now I feel like I need to! Got my run in for the day, despite it being 29 degrees and icy out. I was a bit afraid that I would faceplant at some point, but was glad I got out. Ran 3.27 miles at an average pace of 11:24. Woot! I still got it…

Morning ladies! The workweek begins for me! I was 178.8 this morning, sort of shocked by, as I expected it to be higher, with me weighing in so late in the day yesterday (which usually boosts a lower number). I'll take it though. Come on get back to your lowest and keep going!! Today is going to be a bad bad bad eating…

Lacey- haha! Whatever is takes for motivation. I'm happy to see the 170s again, but I am not down with the fact that I'm still 4 pounds more than I was at my lowest and that I've been totes slacking, and I can't expect to reach my ultimate goal how I'm currently going. *whips self into shape*
