I'm reporting in Sarge, I think I'll be weighing in every Sunday for the Challenge. I'm -5 from last Sunday at 221.

Morning fellow soliders, just reporting in...well stats for the past week. Even though my weight stats here in my sig line show a gain, here's the lowdown of my week....I was up and down on the scales, Monday last week weigh in was 240, then I was up to 246 by Thursday (YIKES!:angry ) I went to my regular doc and he kicked butt as I assumed he would and gave me a tough-love talk, put me on blood pressure pills and said "it is up to you what happens next" telling me that I can get back off the BP pills if I lose the weight and keep a REGULAR exercise plan in place and he suggested that while I do not have any restriction right now and am waiting on getting my fills started again that I re-join weight watchers for the accountability and support meetings. So....there was a meeting that very night and I went and rejoined and have been sticking to the WW program since Friday and my scales are down 4 pounds!!! :clap2: :clap2: It might be water weight but at least it is a loss! :eekB: I even survived WW over the weekend without cheating! Weekends are hardest for me. So now to revamp my goals for this week they are:

• Exercise at least 30 minutes EVERY day.
  
• Get in 123 oz of water every day, no exceptions.
  
• Stay on the Weight watchers points program
  
• Stop snacking after supper before going to bed.
  
• Get in my 123 oz of water every day, no exceptions.... Did I say that already. I have to keep repeating it in my head maybe it will stick if I say it enough!!!

Sorry for the long post, thanks for listening and for your encouragement. Good luck to all of you!! We can do this TOGETHER!!

I walk an intire hour this morning and was even able at times to get jogging some. I felt great afterwards and am drinking alot of water. So far today I've had lowfat cottage cheese (now that I got a slight unfill I'm able to eat it???) And some small bites of tomatoes in it. Planning on some Tuna for lunch and some baked chicken at dinner. My head seems to be screwed on straight these last couple weeks BUT NO WEIGHT LOSS!!! UHHHH!!! Anyway I'm just trusting that with dicipline and time I will see results on the scale again..... ONWARD MARCH......HUT 2,3,4 HUT!!!!!!

Good morning all...

Just checking in...was on vacation last week. Didn't do to well. I ate everything in site! UGH! Came home and I have gained two pounds. Not as bad as previous vacations, but not good either.

Making a promise to do better this week and get my butt in gear! Promise to start back working out and making better food choices!

Will report back next week! Have a great week everyone!

Wow Jamie, way to go on the 100 pounds loss!!! That's awesome!!!!!!!!

Reporting in with a 3 pound loss. I'm excited by it because it just changed me from a turtle to a rabbit, heh. I'm now averaging a touch more then 1 pound a week, woohooo!!

You go JanetC, I am impressed.:clap2::clap2:

Yes Janet and Jammin & Losin and everyone! You guys rock! I love it.

Way to go, Jamie!!!

I am down 4 more pounds this week! Yeah! I was pretty sick, but STILL got most of my exercise in!

I am doing the pre-op liquid protein diet and so far so good. I'm really not hungry at all! I am getting my chocolate fix and so its been rather easy ~knock on wood~ I've been taking my vitamins, keeping active, and so hopefully I'll be down even more by surgery date (may 12) 10 more days!!
