well i have not checked in for a while cause i have not moved from my 180 i have been stuck at for 3 weeks now.

but i hav started wieght training and doing pilates 3 times a week, and as soon as i can get my VCR fixed i will do my firm tapes too.

any way i am wishing everyone luck and a thaw out for those frozen in ( though its 55 here in california right now).

i will come back and post as soon as i lose something.

hi roz & everyone, i would like to join in your challenge. i am just finishing up the surviving the holiday's challenge. i lost some but didn't meet my goal so i need something to spur me on. i am currently 214 and my goal weight is 194 by july 1st or 1lb a week for the next 20 weeks. i am taking my granddaughter to california at the end of june and we plan to stop at disneyland for a couple of days during the trip and i would like to be comfortable enough to get on a couple of rides with her. so sign me up please

Hi everyone. I would love to join you in this challenge if no one minds. I will set my goal for 50lbs but that might be quite a stretch. I will be happy enough to make my way into the 2's. My start weight is 329.

Jim

I'm with Petcrazed its like the minute I dropped to 193 everything came to a screaching hault. No losses inches or otherwise for three weeks. Hopefuly im gearing up for something good. Welcome new folks!

Gabrielle

Did you say 193????? Look at my stats, can't get below that number and its been a month.

Hi everyone. I finally have a weight loss to report. It seems like it has been forever:

Wishing the whoosh fairy for everyone- ubet

hi roz et.all,as you know last week I stayed the same due to the time of the month,but this week boy did the woosh fairy visit me last night-4lbs down and I actually felt it comming off I know that sounds strange but whenever I have a large loss I feel realy strange the night before!I also drank gallons of water all week and am increasing my ability to exercise as I lose the lbs.The only negative side to losing all this weight is the fact that I have a wardrobe full of clothes that look as though they belong to someone else ,I can now justifiably say "I have nothing to wear"!.

Wow Carmel, good job.

And welcome to Aragorn, jesdorka and kingb. Lots of new posts. I will put some results up later tonight or Fri am.

I am wishing for summer with all the snow and cold weather we have had this week. This morning it was -5. I don't even want to leave the house.

Keep dreaming about those summer clothes

good morning everyone, here is my first checkin. i am starting at 214 lbs with a goal to lose 20lbs by july 1st or an average of 1lb per week. i will be going to my sister's in california for independence day.she and her husband started low carbing a few months ago so we have all set a goal to lose at least 20lbs by july 4th weekend. my 16 yr old granddaughter will be travelling with me,she has been low carbing for 15 months and has lost 55 lbs and her goal is to lose 5 lbs or at least 1lb a month til we leave at the end of june. so we are all going to be supporting each other. i am so glad i found this challenge.

Roz, I am checking in for the second time, but first we need to get the first weight right. I start this challenge at 330 and the first week I drop 4 # to 326 not 322( only wish). Now for the second weight in I drop another 3 # down to 323 right now or at least this morning. So far I've lost 7 # on this challenge and hope for many more.

Hi everyone, I finaly have a loss to report. I have also been doing some thinking, and I might be setting myself up to fail. I have consistantly loss about 5 pounds per month since I started this WOE. So realisticaly I probably won't be at goal by July 4th. Realisticaly, I can however be at 163. To thats what im changing my goal to. By the way the idea that I could be at 163 boggles my mind.

I slowed down to 1.5 lbs last week. I can't complain because I am moving in the right direction. Hoping to break into the big 200 by Valentine's Day.
