i think we are all editing our original one. good luck!!

Everyone did so darn well this week!! I looked over all the numbers and none of us went up and that is allllways a plus!

I think we are all on the fast track to reaching our goals and just wanted to say how proud i was of everyone!!

keep up all the good work!

im glad everyone is doing so good. i just wanted to say that i got a job at a retirement center where i look over a 94 year old woman. she doesnt eat much and has set times when she does. i work with her from 2pm till10 pm so i have no time to snack! yay for old people. who are simple...hehe

Good on ya G .. Do whatever works for ya ay.

Didn't realize we switched to Fridays....So I'm at 204.8.....stayin strong...I thought today was weigh in, and I even did good with completely splurging over the weekend!

Hey! So I'm 22, 5'9" 190 lbs. I'm hoping to get down to 150 by May 30. 

Can't wait to weigh in on the 22nd, I've been working really hard to not snack too much, which I always do when I'm bored, and to get in a least 20 minutes exercise in.

Good luck to us all!

I'd like to join................are you still open??

yes we are still open. we will be open till the end lol. anyone can join anytime. there is no set weight we are trying to lose. just trying to work as a team to keep eachother motivated!

It's so much harder than it once was to lose that extra poundage.

Sept. 18, .....back on track.  wt. today is 171

I'm really late with my submission because I've been unwell and away from the internet.  Didn't lose any weight though so it doesn't really matter but I want to keep it up anyway and I know the next weigh in is tomorrow!

I've been fluctuating all week but finally I'm able to record a loss. It's so hard to be hovering in the mid 190s when I'm really shooting for the 180s. C'mon 189!

SW=204   CW=177.2   GW=150

Aug 15 = 187.2

Aug 22 = 177.2 (Lost 1 lb)

This was a hard week and my weight keep going between 178 and 179. Today though it dropped. YEAH!

Happy Friday!

Aug 10== 166.8

Aug 15== 163.8

Aug 22== 165.4   :(

I have had a bad week.. I think I retained too much water.. I hurt my leg running, and probably have been too high on the sodium.. *sigh*

Hope everyone else is doing better!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Aug 10==134.70

Aug 15==134.20

Aug 22==133.10

I feel kind of sad. This month I have not been able to lose as much as I was losing b4. I really want to reach my goal. Oh and I also had a bad week. My leg was hurting and my stomach was pulsing a lot. Those two things interfered a little with my exercise routine.

Ugg!  I was down to 150 earlier this week, but had a girls night with some friends and training for work so I ate more and exercised less the second half of the week... Weight as of today could be from excess water retention... (fingers crossed?!?!?!)
