I am so hooked on these things.... they actually keep me focused and off the scale all the time. I hope I did the form right. Just enter your nickname, current and goal weight and then first weigh in is next Monday, March 14. You just enter your change - for example, -2.

Thank you LakeGirl88. I believe everyone is doing a fantastic job. Whoever created this should be thanked, this is great motivation for us. I know it has definitely helped me stay on track. We should keep this going until July 4th.

My number was also a 0! But I am not following the rules and under a lot of stress. That is not an excuse for not following the rules! Need to get my head back in the game, get back on the bandwagon!

Scale FINALLY moved this week; down almost 4! 9 more pounds to go...hopefully I can do it!

MELZIE WAY TO GO 4 LBS IN A WEEK. I NEVER LOOSE LIKE THAT. GOOD FOR YOU. I AM DOWN 1 THIS WEEK. I WAS SURPRISED CUZ MY WONDERFU DAUGHTER MADE ME MOTHERS DAY BRUNCH. IT INCLUDED BACOOOOOON. AND IT WAS SUPER GOOD. LOL

I LOST ONE POUND DURING MY PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So exciting.... it can be done darn it. Period weeks stink

Thank you; wish I could say it was the band but I worked my behind off this week at the gym. I am unfortunately one of those people who can only lose so much weight unless they exercise. Never make it past the 15-20lb mark unless I do. I find that setting a goal helps a lot (I was aiming for 4 this week so I only have to work towards a loss of 3 for the next 3 weeks); keeps me motivated. I'm not booking my shore excursion for my trip until I hit my 225 (top weight allowed for the activity) so if I get it by Memorial Day like I wanted to then awesome but I have until July to get it together...would like to be down to 215 or lower by that point, however, so I'm shooting for the stars! Good luck to ya!

oooooooooooooooh i like this after this one is done please do it AGAIN =).... I WILL JOIN THE NEXT ONE =)

We definitely need to keep this going after memorial day. This has been great motivation for alot of us. I would hate to see it end.

I agree! Molly thanks again! So far I started losing again for the past few weeks. shook up my eating and exercising routines. keeping my fingers crossed that the new routines help out.

Hey Melzie Are you gonna tell us what this shore excursion is?

finally got my butt in gear this week and dropped 6.4 pounds. bout time!

Ha Ha what did you do? I have another 0 And I really want it to change this week. Any advice?

Down 3.4 this week and surpassed my goal for the challenge - so excited! HAH131 is nipping my percentage though! Gotta catch you!! Love these things! What should the next one be? 4th of July challenge? I will start setting that up now

Opps accidentally posted under the wrong challenge! Not sure how to delete a post

I have to give you props MollyRN; you were doing so well, and i kept thinking, i have to catch up! you really pushed me!!! i'm totally down for a july 4th challenge!

lakegirl88, i was letting my food get out of control. most days i was doing between 550-650 cals a day, and then i'd let myself have days where i ate any and everything i wanted. i don't have much restriction at all, so most of the low cal days were on sheer willpower. i emailed my nutritionist, and he told me to up my cals on the low cal days to 1000-1200. while i haven't done that b/c i can't get in that many without upping my carbs more than i want, i have upped my calories to about 830-900 a day. i keep my carbs below 40g per day too. that has really seemed to work. i'm an exercise fiend too, so that's definitely helped. i do zumba two days a week and make sure i also take the dogs for a 50 min walk those days. i also run several days a week and do whatever else i can come up with. i exercise every single day. i wish i could lose just changing my food habits, but i can't. that's what i've been doing. let's hope i can keep it up!
