well my husband has a condition called Legg Perthes Disease that has affected him on and off since childhood.  If untreated as a child it  ends up turning into an arthritic condition into adulthood and requires hip replacements later on in life.  His parents had no idea he had it as a child so now he has major joint (mostly his hips) pain/arthritis. 

Anyway, something to look into.  good luck!!

Some family of mine out here in Texas was just talking about "potato sandwiches" over the weekend.  I was like "what the **** are you guys talking about?"  Now I know.

Yeah I think I was the last one to post on the 150's Club and no one else posted since.  Pity!

And now (cross my fingers) I hope to be out of the 150's here shortly.  Next week would be awesome!!!!! 

I am 5'7", 26, and 151lbs.   I started at 160lbs the end of March.  So I am averaging about 1lbs loss per week.

I have been watching and logging my calories on a daily basis and it's been a real eye opener doing this. 

I also have been walking 3 days a week. I wish I could run, but I don't have a jogging stroller for my 3 year old..just a regular one which sucks for running.  And I don't really wanna fork over 100$+ when he's 3.  Seems like I wouldn't get enough use out of it.  Anyway....I also have a goal of doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred M-F with weekends off.

So far so good.  My goal is 135lbs.

Sorry this post is a bit belated.  Here's my stats:

For the first weigh in one the 2nd I was still stuck at 153.

For the 16th weigh on I made some progress and weighed in at 151.

Hopefully I can pull off another week like that!!

This weeks goal is to do my workout tape m-f along with walking a few miles at least 3 days.  And of course making healthy eating choices.

Great job everyone, keep up the great work!

thanks amethystgirl, that makes more sense especially for people like me that have no idea.

I am in.  I am 26, 5'7" and 154lbs.  Lost 6 so far, but I'd love to lose another 15-17more to get to my goal.  So my goal for this challenge is gonna be 8-10lbs. 

My ticker automatically updates so I don't know.  although once my CC toolbar stopped updating so I restarted my pc and all was well.

Calorie count has their own which I find easier as it changes data when you enter any weight changes on CC.  Just go to your home page and Edit Profile.  There is a place on the top left (i thnk) that says "ticker" or something like that.  Then there is no need to copy and paste anything.

hmmmm a phone call and a card I bought that you can actually plant and it will grow wildflowers. I thought that was pretty cool!!  got it at wal mart even. 

I doubt I will get anything for mother's day.  I usually don't. My son is 3, stays home with me right now and my husband conveniently pulls the "you're not my mom" card so..o'well..I'll just enjoy motherhood anyway every other day of the year. That day is no exception!

how much have you lost? 7lbs.

is this the 1st time or a repeat performance? 1st time

are you finished? 18 more to go.

how long did it take? well so far 5 weeks, but hope to be done in July/August before I start school. (cosmetology)

how long have you kept it off? hopefully forever!

what approach did you use? Calorie counting, regular exercise and lots of will  power!

Thanks aeetheri for the happy birthday!  What a coincidence that me and your bf have the same BD. 

Welcome Priscillavanilla.  Wishing you the best of luck in your journey!

As for me, I gained a bit over my birthday weekend.  About 2 lbs. Not sure if my scale just tricked me with the 153 or what.  Either way, it's taken me since then to finally get back to 153 as of today!  What a relief, I'll tell you what.  Especially since my husband is coming back home from work for a week tomorrow.  Although when he has his week off from work it comes at a sh*tty time because within a few days it will be TTOM and I get a double dose of temptations.  He always wants to eat out when he comes home and all of that darn sodium and huge portions...sheeshhhh..what's a girl supposed to do?!

I am gonna try really hard to stay on track and watch portions, drink plenty of water and make sure I do my 30 day shred every day whether he thinks I look like a fool or not. LOL!!!  hmmmm....maybe I'll get up before he does and get my work out in then maybe go for a run before him and Av (my 3 year old) wakes up.  Oh that will be a test of my will all in it's own.

good luck gals!!

It's Thursday and I currently weigh in at 153.2 (yes I count fractions of pounds because it's some progress right?!! LOL)

Anyway, that's almost a pound of weight loss overnight which totally makes me ready to tackle me Jillian Michaels 30 day shred dvd I FINALLY received in the mail last night.  I had been hovering at 154 all week so it's great to see some change from that. 

My husband comes home from work for a week tomorrow and that is usually not so great for my eating not to mention TTOM coming at the same darned time. What bad timing, seriously...enough already!!!  :]  So needless to say I am going to have to watch myself very carefully to minimize sodium intake and portion control and make sure I have some healthy snacks in my purse since we are out of the house A LOT when he is home!!!  Oh and always keep my water with me.  I am thinking that maybe that I won't weigh daily after tomorrow for the week. I will just weigh in tomorrow and then the friday after and hopefully see a big change.  *hopefully*

 COPPERTOP_4    Ketchup and Mayo mixed for a dip is the only way to eat tater tots

where I come from (utah) we call that "Fry Sauce".  Go anywhere outside of Utah and people think we're crazy when we ask for it at a burger joint.  :]  It's even better with a bit of chopped up dill pickles and a smidgen of pickle juice.  :]

CW: 154lbs.  Not bad.  It's stayed consistently that for about a week now.  So we'll see how the next few days go.  I mowed the lawn today and that counted as my exercise for the day.  Excited my lawn is green and flowers didn't get completely pummeled from the near tornado and baseball sized hail on Friday.

Goal for this week.  W@ter W@ter w@ter!!! With it getting hotter here it's been a bit harder for me to keep my intake up and compensate for that.  That and eating more veggies.  right now I am really loving some California mix veggies (steamed broc/cauli/carrots) My husband comes home for a week on Friday so I am going to have to try extra hard to keep my eating in check.  He likes to eat out often when he gets home so it makes it harder for me to make healthy choices, but I'm learning.  Oh and it's TTOM so it's doubley frustrating. 

Keeping my head held high and I'm gonna keep on keepin' on.

Wow, thanks for the words Melkor...seriously!!  That's more what I needed.  I am not the type that likes things to be "sugar coated" ...hehehe..except my desserts!!  :]

And I definitely call it a Lifestyle Change, because that's what my goal is, it's just quicker to type diet. LOL!  Maybe we should come up with some sort of abbreviation.    I totally agree with the Stepford Mom comment.  It's just a struggle to find that "me" time.

I figured it was water weight, but it helps to have someone back that up.

I think I will eventually get some free weights and maybe a weight bench( I  know my husband will use that when he's home too :]  )

thank you again for the recommendations. I will certainly look into them.
