Weigh ins are on Mondays!  Welcome!

Just wanted to let you know, my husband laughed at me. Riotously. I was just brushing my teeth and doing my lunges and squats. Geezzz...

Well - I am down 1 pound for the week.  But I know it is barely there.  So I am back to normal this week.  Last week was a not so hot.  We had Thanksgiving, which I ate potatoes and I normally don't eat them as they are high in calories for a small portion.  Then my DH's Birthday was Friday so out to eat again.  Then Saturday we went to our friend's house for dinner - out to eat again.  YIKES!  They were not measurable places that are on CC either.  I don't mind eating out but I like the meals that are on here so I can enter my calories accurately.

Good luck with weigh ins!!  I am really loving this group!

 

I put on 1 pound on thanksgiving/the day after....I worked on that yesterday and the day before for a loss of like .4 pounds lol...so Im getting back down to my weight before thanksgiving but im still not there :(

CHALLENGE Week 11/26-12/3:

spend 5 minutes of your day (any time of day that works for you) doing sit-ups. I do them on commercial breaks in the evenings lol. lets get those mama tummies as firm as we can!

I am up 1 pound since last week...at least it's only 1 though. I wasn't able to work out while out of town last week and didn't watch my calories very well. Maybe I'll break into the 150s by next week. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

Hi all! I'm excited to see and work with other moms.

I started my diet on 11/21, weghing in at 233 as of today I am at 218.2.

Name: Michele

Age: 30 ::wince::

Height: 5' 43/4"

Frame Size: Small

Starting Weight: 133lbs

Side Note: After dieting like mad and seeing no results, aside from smaller gains, my doctor now has me taking Phentermine. So far, so good. ::knock on wood::

Children: I have 4, Dalton is 12, Cheyenne is 11, Blake is 8 and Emma is 3.

 I'll do my best to do sit ups, but I've been mostly senitary for almost 2 years now with my anxiety, so I have to work into working out slowly.

Well, I too am up this week. 1.5 to be exact. Grrrr! It's not the end of the world though. It's good to know I'm not alone. :0) Press on! Hi Minniemommy! Glad you're here.

Hi minniemommy!  Its so good to come here and see all the positivity.  I didn't weigh in last week but I'm glad to be back and see the new challenges. 

Oh my gosh. I have had so much stress that I can't even begin to explain that things have fell completely apart the last couple weeks. On the silver lining side I have not cheated any (as usual when life turns upside down on me :( ) and not only met goal weight but over shot it. Now it seems I can't figure out how to maintain and to stop losing.....:( As I said in my original weight weigh in post I know I've we've all had worse problems than to figure out how to STOP losing weight...(LOL) so I won't complain about it but I guess even if my life is still tore up from top to bottom that I NEED to get back in here and read & set up on my maintence program. I love cc for the fact that no matter what weight "issue" your having they have so much to help u through it. :D

kudos shellbysmomma! I am up 1 pund from last week 166. But Hey it WAS Thanksgiving after all!  I will buckle down this week for sure. I am so excited btw. Hubby bought us both an early Christmas present, memberships to a gym! We really couldn't afford it, but I'm so happy for it!

I am staying still at 151.  But was up 1 pound and had to work relentlessly to get it off. I found it interesting that I had a couple days where I went over my calories and then I had to retrain my body to want less.  I kept feeling hungry. I was on some medication that I think contributed to that but now am off so hope it gets better from here.

It looks like many of us are in the same boat.  :)

Challenge Week 12/3-12/9-

Ok - so this week our goal is to have NO snackies, munchies, or dessert after dinner.  Eat your meal and when it is done, it is done.  Have a great week!

Not even a little bit? Just kidding LOL! I can handle that. 164.5 today. One more half pound and I will be at 25 lbs lost. I'm really excited!

Oh this one is going to be tough for me!  I'm used to saving a few calories so I can have a snack before bed....

I'll give it a go though!

Ack! I have been in a fog since Thanksgiving and can't seem to get out of it. No weight lost last week but I honestly haven't been trying as hard as I should. I don't know where my motivation is lately...

what happened to all my weights?? I went to update it (late for the week I know) but now all my weights to date are gone!

   Hello!  I'm new here and would love to join.  I got addicted to the food guide and didn't even consider the forums, but I think support is critical in weight loss!  My husband is trying to shed a few too, but he's faring better than I.  I gained 50 pounds for a 3# preemie baby girl. (bed rest and comfort food is a bad combination)  I have 7 pounds to go before reaching where I was before I was preggers with her (thanks in large part to the food guide...haven't eaten anything less than a B in nutrition and portion control) , and a bit of chunk I had left over from a few failed pregnancies. My ultimate goal is to be healthy.  I'm uncomfortable with my current size, but strangely more happy with who I am and less concerned about it than when I weighed 105 pounds (I can't even believe I thought I was fat!).
