Great to hear from you, ladies!

I was still at 133.8 this morning. There's only one week to go for this challenge; let's finish strong!

Vacation was Wonderful! I missed y'all last week but I Destin was just what I needed. Now it is back to work.

Here are my stats:

SW 158.6 (Memorial day)
LW -- (vacation)
CW 134.6
GW 129 (Labor Day)
FGW 115

Yeah! I'm on track 24 pounds in 12 weeks!

I hope y'all have a great week!

Yeah! Evereyone is doing great!!!

Here are my stats:

SW 158.6 (Memorial day)
LW 143.2
CW 141.8
GW 129 (Labor Day)
FGW 115

That's 16.8 pounds in 9 weeks ... A little less than 2 pounds per week, but I'll sure take it!

Thanks for the encouragement, cteene!
I am sorry to hear that you reinjured your knee. I feel your pain. I had knee surgury in January, and although I have returned to an active lifestyle, I am still a bit protective.  On the trampoline last night my daughter was trying to get me to try a new trick but I just couldn't risk it.

Speaking of an active lifestyle, my daughter is getting certified for scuba diving before our trip to Destin Florida in August. I've been certified since 1993, but she was signed up in this class with three boys and no other girls. So, I'm auditing the class with her! I started on the 7th and I'll be getting quite a bit of extra exercise for the rest of the month!

I'm back on track - 14 pounds in 7 weeks! Here are my stats:

You are doing Great, Ladies! Keep up the good work. I'm glad you are feeling better darcyskywolfe.

As for me, I worked very hard the first five days of the week. Then, I totally caved on the weekend.  So, I'm UP a little from last week. Here are my stats:

Oops! I forgot to post my stats.

I had a rough week!I tried my HARDEST but only lost 4 tenths of a pound.

Considering that I had to make an unplanned trip out of town and stay with my in-laws, I guess I should be happy. My mother-in-law is a wonderful cook who has a huge sweet tooth and just doesn't understand what healthy food is. Her idea of diet food is using sugar free pudding mix (along with regular Eagle Brand milk and heavy whipping cream) to make a banana pudding. LOL, at least she had good intentions.

I'm hoping for a swoosh this week to make up for last week. The problem is that I have to go out of town for a leadership thing for my local reading council.  I'm definitely planning ahead this time!

Here are my stats:

I am so glad that you are all here to help me stay on track. Best wishes to all!

Thanks for posting kjeremiason, akasharaine, and scalebeater!

I have noticed that some of us beat ourselves up when the scales don't cooperate.  Please be kind to yourself. You are taking on a very admirable and difficult task. If you are taking better care of yourself because of your commitment, then you are SUCCESSFUL!!!

This thread is not so much about how much weight we can lose in each week as it is about commitment and support.

Best wishes to all. You Rock!

Don't forget to make healthy chhoices during your busy day, musicalfishmich. Post when you are ready.

Solemnleaf2, Unless you ate more than 5000 calories over matenance  on Sunday, It had to be a water thing!

Great job, cteene!

It's been a challenge for me too. But right now, I'm at the Cooper clinic Guest lodge in Dallas. My husband is haveing a complete, full day check-up. I'm sure he will be more health conscious after that!

Meanwhile, this place is fabulous! Dr. Cooper is the "father of aerobics"  so every thing is geared toward being health conscious and I'm STILL having a great time, lol! I think it is helping me understand that a good time does not have to equate to over-eating. Even the continental breakfast was healthy. But I haven't put a single "yucky" thing in my mouth this whole trip.

I wish y'all could all be here, walking/jogging on the beautiful padded track surrounded by big trees and ponds, exercising in the health club that comes with the room, swimming with my daughter, and enjoying the fresh fruit that seems to be offered everywhere. So refreshing!

Best wishes to all! I'will be checking back in soon.

P.S. I'm here:

 I fixed up a spreadsheet. So far we have reported

14.8 pounds LOST !!!!!

Yeah! keep up the great work!

Thanks so much becca0234! It is so kind of you to share and your timing is perfect with our weigh-in comming up on Monday.

Thanks solemleaf2 for keeping us on track. The Monday weigh-in helps keep me on track during the weekends too.

Everyone keep up the good work. Be thinking of all of the things you've done right this week. When you weight-in, be sure to include something positive about how you took care of your health and a focus for the next week. "Talk" to ya' soon.

I am asking the moderator to accept new sign-ups until tommorow (May 27). I am going to ask if there is a way to do "by invitation only" so we could invite friends to join our group.

I am a lifetime member of weight watchers, but here I am on CC. I was a great program for me. I lost the weight just fine but I gained it all back after I stopped counting points.

The problem I have now is that if a liftime member is overweight, they have to pay $11 for the weigh-in. So, when I gained a few pounds, I thought I would go back when I had lost weight so I wouldn't have to pay. Ooops! Not going to the weigh-ins only led to more weight gain:(

I have seen the new ads. I am tempted to go pay $11 to find out what is different now.

Glad to have you join us cteene, ladychach, indigo360, lafoutloud01, scalebeater, kaydawson69, and mooseleggs!

We sure have a lot of different reasons for being here (I wish mine were Hawaii), and we come in a lot of different shapes and sizes, but we are all here to help each other get healthier. It's going to be a great summer.

Congrats to every one who stuck to their plan for the day!

I am through eating for the day (I hope). I was able to stick to my plan, but I'm already feeling a little hungry.

I checked out the 12 week plan that baylily suggested. It looks very comprehensive.  Here is that link again:

Everyone here deserves a little pat on the back for making this commitment. Way to go!
