I'm amazed that I'm still steadily loosing!! I weight every day and the scale has been showing steady daily loss :o) ... 4 lb away from a high-healthy weight!! Hope everyone else had a good week as well! I'm going to the hockey game this Saturday so it'll be a tough week but let's goooo!

Wednesday Weight in!

First off, I'm SO excited now!! I've ben waiting for 150 forever because I can honesty say i've NEVER seen the scale under 150!! I was overwight as a child, and as long as I can remember I've always been over 150 (and as high as 185), so this is a huge step for me.

Also, I've been so off track so I have no idea how I'm managing to be on my way to my goal. I've recovered since my birthday (1lb gain). This past weekend I spent at the casino drinking (which I had cut down to a 2-3 drinks once every other weekend -- previosly was drinking a bottle of wine+ about 4 times a week -- WOW, bad ideas) and eating out. I'm currently dealing with the flu (woohoo 103 temp and constant aches!!). My only worry right now is that once my body recovers, the cough/fatigue willl linger and keep me away from the gym --- look at me... full of excuses... maybe I'll just stick to some 30 day shred at home -- definately looking forward to being past these couple obstacles and to finally see something in the 140s pop up!! good luck to everyone else on their journey also!! <3

Sorry I wasn't at a computer yesterday! Worked a 13hour shift plus A 70mile commute each way (ew.).... This weekend brings my casino bday trip... hopefully my last challenge to this weight loss journey for a while!!

Using the bolthouse juices is a great idea... as is everything else you posted! thanks!!

It's nice to see the scale move but I'm scared it's all going to come right back!! I've had an AWFUL bug that's had me losing every calorie i put in myself before my body can even notice it. Ill hit the gym hard to make the best of the recovery though!

Ahh I'm going to have to weight in tomorrow. I spent the night at a hotel and wasn't able to get to a scale before breakfast or lunch. SO, the weight in would be off at this point. I'll weight in asap tomorrow morning!! Sorry for the inconvenience blossmbat :(  

hey... do ya'll weight yourselves everyday/weekly/randomly? I'm down 0.8 from yesterday and I feel great about it... but in reality I know it's due to water weight and other factors. So, chances are the scale will be back up a bit tomorrow. This is my downfall. The day-to-day ups and downs discourage me. However, when I only weight myself once a week I fall off track and start to sneak in cheat days when I'm still a couple days away from weight in,thinkin I'll be able to "make up for it" by weight-in day. I'm hoping I can break this habit this time around! 

Yay a new group actually accepting members!! I just want to tone up and slim down - tracking progress with weigh ins but my goal is also a little bit of both. I'm a nurse so I need to build up my muscles with all the lifting of overweight people we have to do. I'd also like to drop about 20lb, so, about 4 months would get me almost to my goal :o)
