I'm an excessive eater :(  I sometimes resolve to eat better, but then a few mins later I forget when I pass by a vending machine :P

And reading through a lot of these posts - awesome work you guys :)

Original Post by ceniblow:

Holy Cow vfh8404 you lost three pounds this past week that's fantastic I wish I could see the weight coming off that fast.  Only 4 pounds to go for your goal, wow you're so close.

I was supposed to weigh myself this morning also but I'm afraid to because we had family in town staying with us all weekend and I did not do well with the diet at all.

 Thank you ceniblow and wyogirl.  It usually doesn't happen that fast.  I just upped my walking time last week.  I think that helped.

My birthday is April 30th so I am definitely in!

Weigh in day...late!

I haven't been too strict with myself as I know I will be giving in to a few indulgences (alcohol, wonderful food) while I am on holiday...trying to see how it is working for me, still losing but slowly...which is great!  I will be weighing in this Friday, but since I haven't had time to post this in the past two weeks I thougt I would now. I leave for Mexico on Saturday...I hope I get down at least one more pound before than.

*sigh*
I'm not sure if it's because I used a different scale, but...as of two days ago

(it also dawned on me that Apr 28th is too close for me to drop 10 safely, so I'm modifying to 145).

I'm gonna just say that scale was wrong, and I'll re-check again tonight :) 

All right when I stated this forum I weight 191.6.  Last week I weighed in at 186.  Unfortunatly Easter go the better of me.  I am weighing in this week at 187lbs.  I don't think I am going to hit my goal of 182 by the 28th.  But with this forum I am closer than I think I would have been on my own. 

Now next week maybe a little flaky.  I am having 5 teeth pulled this weekend which means no real food for two days.  We will have to see how that messes with my wieight.

Good luck and good job everyone!

I cheated last week and skipped my weigh-in because I was afraid to look at the scale but I did this morning and it wasn't too bad, I did lose weight just not very much but at least it's going in the right direction.

So I still have over 5 pounds to go by the 28th which doesn't really seem possible but I am going to do my best.

ceniblow...I in the same boat.  I still have 5 lbs to go and don't think I am going to "offically" make.  But I have lost 5lbs as well...I like to look at it that way.

Exactly!  We're better off than we were when we first started and we're not giving up so it may take us a little longer but we'll reach our goals.  It is much better to look at what we've lost already and be proud of that, personally if I don't look at it that way I think I would lose my motivation.

My scale went up almost 4 pounds in 2 days and I stayed on teck the entire weekend!  My body is fighting against me and this challenge!  Could this be water?  Yesterday I did have a high sodium day....but I drank like 100 oz of water...

I'm down another 4 lbs! I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks because my son went into the hospital for a week, and I didn't pay attention to what I was eating nor did I do any exercise. He's fine, he's out now, and I jumped back into my calorie counting and workout routine.

Lost 16 pounds since 3/16/09

Lost 5.6 pounds since I joined the group.  I am hoping I can be 225 by the end of the month...

Starting weight for this forum was 191.6.  Todays weight was 186.6.  After last week's gain I am happy with that.  I don't think I will make my goal weight of 181.6 but, I tried.  How is everyone else doing?  Well I hope.  Anyone want to start another forum for next month after this one?  Just and idea.

My starting weight was 166 and I am up to 168.  My birthday came and went and I did not accomplish anything. 

I am ready to start another forum for next month.  I will set a goal and go for it!!!!

I sure hope everyone else did better than I did.

I would love to join in as well.  I have been trying now for about 3 weeks and am not loosing anything. I want to at least loose 30 lbs total. I am about to give up. could use some support.

Looks like I lost.  I only lost 7.6 pounds since march 11.
