Lose 10 lbs by JULY 4th, 2008!
xoxoxoxox love you, girls!
--------------------------
I was given the ultimate gift for Xmas --- a vacation to LA and Vegas.
I want to lose 10 lbs before we fly out on May 24th.
Weekly weigh ins?
Motivating friends???
Anyone?
: D I know I am sure going to try hard as my goal is to buy and WEAR a bathing suit in public without a t-shirt or shorts.
Join Me?? ( ;
Ahhh!!!
My baby turns 4 tomorrow!
She wants pizza for dinner, then birthday cake of course. Then I'm gonna take the kids to the movies! Horton Hears a Who is finally playing at our theatre. Its sounding like a very unfriendly calorie day. Oh well, it's Lexi's day. I'll hop on the elliptical after the kids go to bed.
I'm definitly in! my birthdays on the 29th of that month!
Hay there everyone, so South beach update - Day 2.
I survived Day 1 avoiding all sugars and carbs. I made sure I had some beans to give me some fibre and energy and I totally wasn't hungry all day! Amazing. Also got in some running and pilates. Today my tummy is noticeably flatter and I am down 2Ib. Keep it up!!
Plus CHarles still doesn't think I can do it so I am extra determined now!
we are all doing so well!
I saw 169.5 this morning. woo hoo!
Hi Melness...
You'll get there!! Don't stress about it....(like I should talk). My boyfriend says the same things....that I'm fine the way I am, but isn't it funny how us women are about our bodies?? Sometimes I feel crazy because I OBSESS about what I'm eating, but other times, I know that it's a lifestyle change that needs to occur not just a crash diet. I need to really start eating fruits/veggies for the long term not just because I'm going to Myrtle Beach in June and want to look as best I can. I need to really start believing that I'm fine the way I am and not seek happiness in the numbers on the scale. I don't want the numbers on the scale to determine whether I'm feeling good about myself or whether or not I'm having a "good" day, you know? Best of luck to you....keep it up!! Hope to see us both in the 130's soon =)
I have great news!!!! Okay a friend had a birthday yesterday. And my family and I went over to his house. Well I didn't find out we were going over there until I already ate dinner. That was annoying. Well when we get there the put food in the over for diner and there pull out the jello cake and icecream. I guess what!!! I did not touch a single thing. Not even dip a finger in the nacho cheese. Which usually I would of at least of done that. Of coarse everyone was like "a little wont hurt" or "I won't tell anyone". But I knew how quilty I would feel if I did it. And I REALLY wont to get rid of this weight I just gained for no apparent reason. And when I got on the scale it said 135.5 so that is .5 down from Sunday. And that was at the end of the day after eating dinner. So I am hoping for even more by the end of this week. But if it is just the .5 I will still be happy. This morning for breakfast I changed it uop some. Had oatmeal (instead of cold cereal) with 2 tbsp brown sugar and 2 tbsp jelly. YUM And it fills me up so well. But I cant wait till snack time!!! Watermealon!!! And salmon tonight for dinner!!!!! Good luck to everyone with their Thursday!!!!!
Good job anji on the buffet!!!!! And hope you stay under 190!!!!!!!! Hope you can make that goal!!!!
djkitten- 15 minutes. that is a lot. Keep it up.SO glad you were able to break that plateau!!!!!

With all of this motivation I should look like Beyonce in no time LOL LOL LOL
See you for weigh in tomorrow! ( :
Hell yeah, amaresmom! I wish they would do that here at my school. I would kill all the haters AND take their money. (evil laugh) I expect updates!
Ok, I thought i'd join the challenge to! I'm at 145, been at this weight for 2 weeks now:( but the goal is 138, started at 148 and the lowest was 143 and change. So i'm kind close to you guys aiming for 136, it was easy at first and now its gotten a bit difficult:) I'm off this week though and have been hitting the gym, trying cycling calories again, and over all I've been more physical...but I have been enjoying food to:) But I'm here and I'm going for 138!
I have doggie training class in about an hour, but I am soooooo bored. I already jogged and showered, so I don;t wanna go get sweaty again... I am having a 100 cal bag of popcorn to stave off my dinner until after, but I almost wish I had laundry or something like that that -needed- to be done so I could stay busy. =P
everybody have a good night!
Hey Lunna1655, I have to agree with everything you said. I tend to watch the scale slowly creep forward and know I should do something about it then when I do I only do it long enough to get to the weight I am happiest with and then just go right back to the unhealthy eating. I need the life change, the actual dedication and motivation to do so. I weighed myself again today UGHHH I do this everyday, i weighed 141. I was so excited. I know it was probably because I had a rough night at work and slept a few extra hours but it was more motivation to see the scale like that everyday, (until it goes down more). I really want to thank you for your response and hope that you will continue to keep up with me, I think we could really benefit from eachother......
Keep up the great work!!!!
Hey bkmanda, Keep in touch with us. I would sure like to have some more motivation buddies. I too have had a teetering scales. It's rough but I really am tasting those 130's.

Hay there everyone - so ............. weigh in day today and day 3 of South Beach Phase 1 and yes... I am still sticking to it!! Its amazing! My tummy is way flatter and my weight is down to 153Ib!!! Only 6Ib left to go and a month to do it in! So happy today and very determined to stick to it over the weekend.
Olivia I hope you managed to keep away from the snacks while waiting for your dinner!
Amaresmom - go for it!! Were all behind you to win it!
DJKitten - thanks for the info, on Day 3 today so I will push through and let you know how I get on. Were you successful on it?
Zochia that is fantastic about staying away from the food!! Keep it up!
Good luck with weigh ins everyone!
my goal isn't so specific (end of May/beginning of June), but the 24th is around then so i'll work for it but won't beat myself up over it if i'm not down 10 lbs by then.
because my goal was to lose 10 pounds this month (starting at 130, currently 123, about 5 days to lose those last 3 pounds), then 10 pounds in May. fortunately i've been consistently losing.
so once i reach 120 i'll be even closer to my goal and can hopefully make it to 110 by the 24th! (ohhh i remember last summer at 110, i looked good but of course i used unhealthy means to get there so it didn't last).
good luck to all of you and keep up your good work!
I saw 3 weights this morning --- stupid scale. I will weigh again later this afternoon, but ok, 168.5, 169.0 and 171. whatever.
I did stay away from the snacks before class, but after class I might have needed a drink (blush)
AH well. I must rememeber my body is doing its best to help me. I started this challenge a month ago at 184, so losing 14ish lbs in a month is nothing to sneeze at. I always forget that part....
It ttotm but I am only up a lb 217 so far i worked my butt off this week. I am determined to NOT gain that 5lbs during my cycle. Last night I went shopping for myself which was probably a bit selfish but my hubby totally understood. I spent $60 bucks and got all my lunch for next week and fruit. I didn't buy a lot of snacks but coming home I thought I better get some 100 cal packs or atleast some pudding, for those times I need a sweet fix. I bought all fish for lunch my coworkers are going to want to kill me next week when I heat it up but I am sure I will have to share some.
My SIL is so on the bandwagon now I am thrilled. We have a free gym by me I have been wanting to try(I do love working out in my living room best) but I could use a couple pointers and tips. We would just be using the elliptical machine and taking classes. She has put on a little weight and is very unhappy. I feel bad for treating her like it was no big deal because she is way smaller than me, because if she is unhappy I need to support her. After reading how hard you girls work and your weight I realize we are all different and to me 180 sounds good right now but to you 140.130 soods great.
Keep up the good work you all and I will respond to post later!
good morning :) Sorry I haven't posted so much.. work is really busy... :(
