263.2 Down 2.4 yeah. Hope everyone had a good week. Time to start a new day and a new week. Good Luck to everyone.

I lost .4 lbs this week. Unfortunately, it kicks me out of the Survivor Challenge, but it is still a loss. That just means that to reach my goal fo 265 by 2/14, I have to lose .6 this week. I am not giving up. We can do this. Good luck to everyone this week.

got it

My husband and I keep a monthly dry erase calendar on our fridge. It has everything on it that we have scheduled for the month. We make our menu out writing it on the same calendar so that we can see everything at a glance and do our shopping each Sunday for the week. With our appts, events, and everything on the calendar…

Is a cool site. Thanks for sharing.

My husband and I prep our lunches for the week each Sunday afternoon. I also prep my breakfasts. Sure is nice to be able to grab n go in the mornings and know that you will still be on track as well. The week we didn't prep, and I had to make them each morning, was awful. Seemed to always be running behind all morning that…

What a great story and wake up call. Makes you think that if someone in their late 60's can do this, then there is no reason the rest of us can't. Step by step. We can do this.

Thankfully this week, I was down. I managed to lose the 2 pounds I gained last week, plus another 3 for a total of 5 pounds lost this week. Congrats to everyone who lost. To everyone - keep up the good work. Remember - Slow is Smooth. Smooth is Fast. SW: 273.8 8 Jan: 270.8 (-3) 15 Jan: 269.0 (-1.8) 22 Jan: 271.0 (+2) 29…

Congrats. Every win is something to be celebrated. Keep up the good work.

One my volleyball coach used to tell us but still applies here. Success requires payment in advance. Also like: You can't change the wrongs of yesterday but you can make the tomorrows better. Slow is smooth. Smooth is Fast.

Way to go to your Mom! Thank you for sharing.

Unfortunately, I gained two pounds this week. With the long weekend, my husband being sick and family coming in unexpectedly, it wasn't a good end to a hard week. Oh well, today is the start of a new week and am back on track. We can do this. SW: 273.8 8 Jan: 270.8 (-3) 15 Jan: 269.0 (-1.8) 22 Jan: 271.0 (+2) Total Weight…

One more week on the island for me too. Congrats to all.

This week wasn't too bad, some ups and downs, but overall a decent week. Success: Logged in daily, drank my water most day (5 out of 7), walked (4 out of 5 days planned) Ugly: Weekend issues - Stress Eating (Husband sick, discovered slab leak, and not being able to workout). Wasn't looking forward to weighin this morning,…

SW: 273.8 8 Jan: 270.8 15 Jan: 269.0 Loss this Week: 1.8 Total Loss so Far: 4.8 Congrats to everyone who lost this week. To those who didn't, just keep trying. It will come off.

Got it! Thanks for showing us the way!

Not sure how much help this will be, but I am a mix of all the previous replies. LOL. I love breakfast foods, just not at breakfast. Prefer to have them for dinner and something light and easy to grab n go in the mornings. I am also on thyroid meds and that hour wait actually works for me. I now take my meds and then leave…

That's a great NSV. Being able to do that will not only help in the weight loss, but once you got to maintenance as well.

Week 1 was pretty good for me. I managed to lose 3 pds (even with TOM here). I have made some minor changes and discoveries already this week. Am taking notes, and will be making more changes as needed, but am def feeling like I have this this time around even if there are some issues along the way. Good luck to everyone.…

I'm in. Always use that extra little push.

I requested to join through biggest loser.

Morning Y'all! 1 Jan: 273.8 8 Jan: 270.8 Loss: 3 Congrats to everyone who lost. To those who didn't, don't give up. Everyone does this different. Lets see what next week holds for everyone.

I am actually doing a little of all of this. Watching calories, portion sizes, avoiding snacks, limiting sodas, drinking more water. Guess we will see how the first week goes tomorrow at weigh-in.

I watched this once a couple of years ago, and then lost it. Just watched the show online. Like most of you here, I tend to agree that some bigger ladies are needed. Is hard to "compare" or "sympathize" with someone when they are already smaller than you. I also agree that no matter how big or "small" you are, if you need…

Patience is a virtue.... Not right now it isn't!

I guess I am an "oddball" then because I am kinda in the middle. I prelog the things I know. Breakfast and lunch because they have to be taken to work and I know what they will be. Unfortunately, Dinner is another matter. I always have to wait until after to log it because I am never sure what I am going to have. Guess it…

Happy Monday? Is there such a thing? I like Manic Monday better! Seems like the start of the week always bring new challenges along with it but I know that we can all get through them. Little steps each day folks. Little steps. Good luck to everyone on their weigh-ins this week (whenever it maybe).

This is just a cool idea. I guess my problem is going to be deciding where I want to go. LOL. Thanks for the wonderful idea.
