Easter Challenge -- week 6 thread

[Octoberbride03]

Hi ladies

First time dropping in this week. I swore my week was gonna be good, but thanx to a very moody AF and being very busy otherwise i have not been here. I'm thrilled to say I have dropped another 2lbs though. WIth luck i will make my goal of 10 for Easter.

My exercising has been off this week. Sat with AF kicking in and closing at TArget I couldn't work up the enthusiasm to work out. This moring I really overslept and decided just to have breakfast. I may work out later today but i overdid the Ash Weds. fasting yesterday with a smaller lunch than i should have with the workload at my store yesterday. So I'll get some food in me and get back to feeling normal and then its back to routine.

for everybody who's stalled. Just keep going and find something that really helps you stay on track. YOu will start losing.

to everybody who's lost this week. Onward and downward we go.

Hi! Just wanted to say coming and posting here yesterday really helped my motivation today! I got on the elliptical and did a 500 calorie burn. I feel better and ready to face the week. And stay on track!

Good luck everyone!!

I all, thanks for the support, I can always count on my WISH support team to help lift me up!

Congrats to our losers, I am in awe of some of you, you are doing an awesome job!

Molli, 6 months without your kitchen.....oh my I don't think I could have done that! Four days was enough for me and I stayed up late last night getting everything back in place!

Weighed in as planned tonight and lost the .8 that I gained last week. So that puts me back at 2.6/6 for this challenge and 1.4 away from WW goal, and 3.4 away from my personal goal.

Keep up the commitment everyone!!

4 days and NO eating off plan so far this week! Between the daily buffet of day-old pastries, cakes, and muffins (seriously, tons of it) every day on the counter between my office and the bathroom, and the roasted peanuts in my office (right behind my desk, I can smell them all day as people snack), this is a HUGE achievement for me. I even started to pick up a peanut this afternoon, but told myself "resisting this now will be make it easier to resist tomorrow", and I put it down.

Yay me!

And in a few minutes I get to go home for my 9/80 3-day weekend. DH is out of town on a business trip, so eating will be a little more challenging at home, but I've got healthy meals planned, along with shopping and a movie or two.

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Hi everyone,

So far so good! I'm chugging along! Another day down! The scale is moving each day too, but I know once it gets used to me being on track again it's going to slow down. For now I'm enjoying the movement!

I watched Oprah today, but I need to watch it again. I was rushed and paying attention to the WPASADI game - They were putting 4 more people back in the game. So I'll have to go back and watch it.

Good morning all,

Just checking in and being inspired by everyone here. Congratulations to all who are losing!!! You are doing awesome, and you are motivating others too. Hang in there all of you struggling. I'm right there with you. I've had a good 3 days, but have a few challenges ahead, and am making a plan and hope I'll be able to follow through with it when that waiter asks if I'd like any dessert. I'll have to think " what would my Disfriends do?" and no thank you will just roll off my tongue.

thanks to all here for the inspiration and support. Hope you all have a wonderful, healthy weekend.

I'm finally down 1 lb. I'm still disspointed because I exercised everyday for about and hour and ate 1000-1300 calories and kept the fat around 20-25 gms max each day. I'm still trying to hang in there and not go the mexican restaurant for lunch .

Kay's mommie!! - The reason your not losing is your not eating ENOUGH! Yes, I know it sounds strange, but 1000 calories is not enough, ESPECIALLY if your exercising about an hour a day. It also depends on your height, but you really should never go below 1250. When you don't eat enough, your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to weight (think cavemen days when they ate lots in the summer and built up weight........then in the winter they would go into starvation mode and their body would hold on to the weight. This was when they didn't have as much access to hunting food because of the weather).

Well Hi everyone. Just finished reading all the posts. I too have been staying away, I haven't been losing, but the good news is, I haven't been gaining. However this week I'm back to losing again. I had a stall for a couple of weeks where I was up down, up down, and now I'm down another pound. For me it is frustrating because I stay on plan, so I expect the scale to keep going down. Oh well, down 1 making my new total 15.4/12.

popping in to say I got 5 miles done tming ............... I am doing okay and I want to register a LOSS this week so I WILL CONTINUE to do OKAY, too!

MelC - thanks for the pep talk

Tiggerlover - you are SO CLOSE - YOU CAN GET THERE SOON !!!!

CONGRATS to all others who are watching the scale go down
and

I ditto Melc's words to Kaysmommie - add healthy items but eating more should make that scale move downward - hang in there

and to all who ARE HANGING IN THERE - just a reminder that YOU ARE WORTH IT

to ALL for a great healthy lifestyle choices this weekend - yep - it is the weekend that usually "gets" me - just not allowing that to happen THIS weekend!!

I'm on the short side 5'2' so to get to 120 lbs. I'm supposed to cut down to 1000-1200. I was eating 1300-1400 and not losing either. It's so tough for me to lose weight after DS. My body wants to stay fat I guess . I'm not giving up though and hope by summer to weigh 120. Which is a good weight for me. before kids I always stayed around 105-108 easily. I don't have to be perfect just healthier and fit. Congrats everyone on their loses this week!
