I don't think I'll pull those last 3 off for this challenge. BUT that is okay. I mean, I am past where I was before this, right? Even if it had only been .5 pound I'd be better off.

WTG Murrie! I know it can be hard to stay motivated when you don't see bigger losses. You are doing great staying on track!

Thanks dawn and ouzogirl! It is completely my own fault for eating horribly all of January and most of this month. But I've got myself undercontrol now. :lol: Ouzogirl, you are right, ANY loss is better than none! Congrats Dawn, only one more lb to go, that's awesome! :cheer:

I agree we need to pick up the pace!! I am thrilled to have made it to the 50 lb mark today!! Cross your fingers and legs that it will keep up and I can be lucky for all of us for the scale to go down! I am all for a March challenge!

NO updates here...I have been in a battle with the scale for a couple of days...I had jumped back up to 155 now I am at 154 ...hopefully I will loss this and then some before the end of the month but it is nearing the end now.....

Scale went back up for me today - a whole pound. Ugh. I still think I can make it over these next 4 days or maybe even starting off March at 159. I'm hoping.

We'll see tomorrow. I have a feeling the pound this morning was primarily water weight - considering how much water I put in my body and how much did not come back out. ;)

I am finally back bouncing between 213.5 and 214.......Hopefully I can lose something this week! (even a solid 213 would make me happy at this point!) Congrats on the losses for yall that are doing so well, and to you Murrie for getting a new pound down!

Some one ask for the month of march to be a challenge. lets go for it. I started at 146 jumped to 152 the first week and now I am down to 147 so I have been unsuccessful. I have not pinpointed where my failure is. I just know I am a long ways from the 130 I was down to back in march. when Dawn comes to visit in March maybe she can help me get back on track.

Hey everyone!

Don't get down if you haven't lost or if you've gained. Our bodies are a mystery and sometimes it works REALLY well and goes our way and other times we feel like throwing in the towel. I've done this SEVERAL times and let me tell...each time I did throw in the towel I felt more like a failure than I did when I gained or stalled. MY POINT :) Don't give up. Don't call yourself a failure. Even if you don't lose or if you gain, you are eating habits are different and you becoming more and more healthy! Stick with it.

Thanks for the words of encouragement Ouzogirl. It helps but it is still very frustrating when you go up nearly 2 lbs in 2 days for no reason.

I am not at all discouraged though. Very thrilled with my 35 lb loss at this point and can't wait to get the other 20 to be gone.

Well, I am still working off those 2 lbs that I gained at the beginning of the week for no reason....But....I am back at 153.6 this am so I definately don't think I will make the 8 lbs this month but I think I can easily make a solid 5 lbs and maybe another lb ....fingers crossed but I won't be upset if it doesn't happen because it is TOM too ....errrr!!!

Well I was also bouncing around with same couple of pounds but finally got back to norm and even hit 213 this morning. It is only a half pound but I was happy to see scales moving downward again!

I'm so excited to tell everyone that I am back to 160.8 this morning so there is still a chance that I will get to see 159 and make my 8 lbs by Monday. Wouldn't that be awesome!?!?!?!
