Oh! and this time the BMI calculator only says I'm 'moderately overweight'! Yeah!

Awesome job, jennybyrne!!!

Hey! You edited yours, too! lol

I went on the BMI link you posted and it still says I'm Obese class 1...oh well...

I like seeing that I'll graduate from that 'class' when I get under BMI of 30...and I'm at 31.1

I can cope with that. I started at 34.7.

How's everyone?

Sorry I haven't been very active on here. I'm trying to be good and not be online so much.

This morning my hubby weighed himself and for the first time probably ever he weighs more than me! By 10#, too! haha and yay for me!

Hopefully I'll do better with my goals this week.

A) Take 3 evening walks with the kids.

B) I have lost 20# and after the last little bit my perpetual double chin has gone away. It's still shows up sometimes, but it's not a constant presence. I am not camera-shy, but for the last year or so I've seen some really awful pictures of myself...I just looked haggard and old and F-A-T!  The more recent ones have looked just normal...just me...YAY! The best moment was when my husband noticed after he took a picture of me and our daughter during her B-Day party (see my profile pic). He can *sometimes* be rather negative so him saying that was an extra-special boost for me.

And my name is Faith  ;}    (edit: haha I just noticed my name's already up there)

See you all on Friday.

Okay, my goals for this week:

Eat breakfast.

No food after 9PM.

Baby steps! Baby steps! Those are 2 areas that I let slip so easily and they go hand-in-hand for me.

Have a great week, mommies!

Yeah! Go Michelle!!!!!! You are amazing.

We're moving in 4 days so this'll be the last post until I'm in my new house. Thanks everyone for the team support. Hopefully I'll see you for BL13.

Faith

I did it!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!195!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will check in for that last updates and then I'll be afk as well while we move our stuff. I hope to jump back in for BL13 and hoping to sign in there at 185. Really hoping that our move and the work involved in that speeds the process up. I'm glad that it's Summer and I can be outdoors more. And our new home has a garage so I'll be able to set up a little workout area there. Hubby said he'd even begin lifting weights, too. That'd be sweet!

Awesome effort everyone! Thanks for sticking through these 8 weeks.

And cheers to the group losers for last week and to all of us for getting overall team loss! You rock!!!!

Will I? Can I? Is it possible for me to drop 2# by next Thursday? If I do it, I'll hit 10# down for this challenge AND my mini-goal of 20# lost...and maybe even justify buying some new clothes!

We are moving so life is going to get crazy for me for a while. I'm won't be on much and can't sign up for the next round of BL, but you all are awesome and so encouraging! Keep up the incredible work getting yourselves healthy!

Let's kick some butt next week and finish strong.

Posted! Thanks, buggy!

No loss this week, but no gain, either!

<hugs>  I'm glad we connected, too. You've been a great encouragement to me (and many others, I'm sure) and an awesome cheerleader for our little Pink group. Thank you :)

Way to go, skulder, for coming in 1st last week!

LMAO @ "16 year old special"! I'll have what she's having. :)

I was a chubby adolescent as well. When I see pics of me in high school I think similar...."Why did I think I was so fat?"...but, while I'm aiming close to the weight I was back then, I really was overweight and chubby. I think that 150# for a 5'6"  15 year old girl is more weight than she should be...where 150 for that same lady in her 30s and after children is not too bad.  Just my perspective on it.

Good Morning Mommies!

Glad I logged my BL weight yeasterday! Today I am 199! Still very happy about that!

Michelle, you are doing great! When we first 'met' you were at a plateau and you busted through that one and passed me months ago! You can do it!

team_malone, thank you! :) and cool butter illustration! I have lost 64 sticks of butter since January! Only 156 to go!

Right on, akela! That's like 1/2 a pound a day!

I'm excited for my weigh in tomorrow!

Thanks for doing the work it takes to keep this thread going, stephanie! ...and I don't want to be a pest, but it'd be nice to see my weight updated this time around. I got skipped last weigh-in.  

Check in on all you beautiful mothers tomorrow!
