hi guys. man, i did NOT go to the gym this morning........that time change had me feeling like i was in a coma! definitely going tomorrow!! i overate some on the weekend.......not too bad, and no fried foods or naughty desserts or anything.......but i was a bit bloated this morning, but still i did lose one pound last week in spite of the weekend, so that is progress!!!

Keep going donnad!! Great attitude to celebrate and focus on the 1 pound loss than your less than perfect weekend. The time change can be a killer.

I had my weigh-in this morning and am 6 pounds down (total)!!! I also got on my treadmill and had a perfect eating day thus far. I feel very committed and motivated to keep on-track.

Ok that's it. Back in the gym & hitting the weights tomorrow. Food still good but slacking on weights.

divemaven, that's awesome!!!! you're so good!! i did get up and go workout this morning. yea!!

Wow I'd say 2-3 more lbs and I'm back to a shape I haven't see in years . Still more time in the gym will only be a bonus & gotta work on a way to sustain! Thanks for the support!

I have to say I am frustrated with the weight loss. I am down 1 more pound for a total 2lbs. When I went to my Dr’s last week I mentioned how hard it is to loose weight and she told me my medication is the reason it is so tough. At this rate it will take me a year to get 10 pounds off. I am so happy summer is upon us and the water temp is getting warmer it will help me be more active as I try to dive 3 times a week in the summer. How do you learn to exercise on a regular basis? I hear people talk about working out like it is something they enjoy. lol

Okay, I'm having a bit of trouble getting on my treadmill....hurting my back on Thursday didn't help. I think I'm another pound down since last week, and I'm happy if I simply see a pound gone each week. Gonna try to get on the treadmill tomorrow morning....

Kathydeee, keep up the good work. Divergirl4u, even if you only lose a pound a month, you'll still be 12 pounds lighter at the end of a year....and healthier and happier. Think of it this way, a year will go by anyway, do you want to weigh the same (or more), or be 10-12 pounds lighter?

Did anyone read the article about how sleeping helps you lose weight? Getting 7.5 hours of sleep a night will help your body lose weight. Nice excuse for going to bed early, eh?

ok got on the scale & it looks like Ive dropped 7lbs in 3 weeks. Very close to the plan. Hard to tell exactly because I weigh myself at the gym and at different times. Still need to get into the gym more for tone but food is actually quite good & pretty consistant except for the occasional 2-3 glass of wine slip . Oh well!

Anyway, have recommitted to weight loss goal, if I can look like this why not go back to my favorite size - So will aim to drop 3-5 more over another 2-3 weeks.

Thanks so much for the support! Stick with it gals!

Yahoo Kathydeee!!!! Good going, and definitely keep it up to get to your goal!! Wish we were all within 3-5 pounds of our goals.


Update later: I got on the scale after my shower this morning and have lost NINE POUNDS so far!! Still have a ways to go, but am feeling strong and motivated to not fail.
