What is happening?????? I too am late on logging in... I guess it is because what happens to me after the third week has happened again.

I have lost momentum.. What do? We are all in the same boat. I can see we all have the same pattern. We need to work together to keep ourselves on track. We are our own worst enemies. I was so ashamed to log in this week cause I gained 1.5. What will make this vicious cycle stop?

Good Morning!  Wow Brwnize1967 Great Job! 

I was getting all upset because for some reason, I thought all week I weighed 215 at last weeks weigh in and this week I weiged in at 216 so I was pissed and thought I gained a lb. But I really weighed 218 last week and droped 2 more lbs! 

Tannis hang in there, I bet your hard work will catch up soon.  Don't give up!

This is our 3rd week together and I am so glad we are all still in the running.

Keep it up!!!!!!!!!

melicious15 That is facinating about Centralia PA.  Thanks for the link. congratulations everyone on your loses. Malomadam you were expecting to gain and you did.  This week is a new chance. You can do it! 

I appreciate your replys, I feel I know you a little better. Tannis congratulations on getting married! It is a wonderful thing.

Keep your goals in view! Monday is only 6.5 days away.

Good morning everyone.  I have been feeling great this past week.  Losing weight is really helping my attitude. I have been pretty grumpy for a while now.  My husband has noticed a physical and mental difference already.

This week I lost 2.8 lbs.  ( not the biggest loser totals but ok by me)

Measurments hips 50.5 waist 46.5 chest 48.5

Hope everyone had a great week!

I have been doing ok not as gung ho as I was the week of 3/8/09. (I usually lose momentum in week 2) But I have been managing to stay in my 1500- 1800 calorie range. Not sure if I should stay there or not. I am nursing and I don't want to deprive my lil one of vital nurturance. Anyone know what calories should be while nursing? I had a great weight loss last week hope I can keep it up without sacrificing anything.

Welcome Hallebailey glad to have you join our group. I glad everyone is still in the race.

malomadame hang in there, have fun but don't overindulge. I agree with Brwnize1967 There is always next week to make it up.

melicious15 in your journal you mention a great site

http://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php you guys should check it out.

keep it up, we can do this.

If you've been successful in losing weight, please answer the following questions so that I know I'm on the right track to seeing results myself:
When did you decide to lose weight? I have always had it in my mind I need to lose weight but recently I have been serious about counting my calories( that is the Key)
How long before you started seeing results (whether on the scale or fitting better in your clothes)? I could tell I was losing weight with in the first 2 days , I could see less puffiness in my face. If is important to only weigh yourself once a week or you will get discouraged.
How long did it take for you to lose the total unwanted weight? I set my goal for October 2009 to lose 50lbs. and I will meet it! Positive, attitude and visulizing your goal)I found that putting an undesirable fat picture of yourself in a place were you have a tendency to overeat( car, office desk or kitchen.) will help keeping you on track.
What's your greatest advice for frustrated people like myself who haven't seen results after two weeks of dieting and working out? Don't give up! increase your workouts by 5 minutes every time you workout. You will see a difference.
I greatly appreciate any motivation advice I can get. Keep in touch with someone. Accountability works for me. I will be there for you!

Remember any loss is that much closer to your goal.

Two pounds is great 2babettermom. I am nursing. I think that might have something to do with my good loss this week. I also took the clothes off my elliptical trainer and decided to put it to its intended use.

What kind of exercise has everyone been doing?

nokapokadot I hope your arm feels better. That is a great Idea about "drink at least 8 glasses of water a day." I am definitely going to shoot for that goal.

Wow, It is so great to see such success. One week down several more to go.

Tannis great job 4 lbs is great!

Mel .5 isn't so bad it could have been worse. You will probably lose the most next week.

Jat at least you lost this week, so did you stay on track even though you went out for dinner?

Brwn .6 isn't bad. At least you lost. Did you see Biggest Loser last week Mandi gained a lb, I suspect that she had flow too. ( love that show, It motivates me more every week.)

Hello, I am glad to see so many joined the group.
What are your triggers? I find myself eating way more then I need to. I have portion control issues. When I am stress I have a tendency to crave junk food.. Burgers, chips and the occasional cookie binge. I am really fighting my old habits to overcome this weight problem once and for all.

I agree with Jat about dreading summer time. I haven't wore a bathing suit with pride my whole life but I have great athletic legs when I am 50 lbs lighter, (It has been along time since I have seen them.) By summer time I will be wearing cute skirts and short. I promise.

I am doing well and I can definitely feel my loss in my clothes. I want to jump on the scale so bad, but I will wait until Monday. I have dieted many times and it seems I get discouraged if I hop on the scale more then once a week. Can't wait to see how everyone did on Monday.

If you receive this I think we can keep in touch. Great, looks we are about the same size this will be a fun challenge. I think this site is a great tool to keep motivated. This is my first week on the site and I can't wait until Monday to check my weight.
