Birthday Challenge

Re: Birthday Challenge

4.5 pounds to my BD goal as of this morning. And, with all my traveling I wasn't exercising much either, so I was back at Curves yesterday for the first time in a month. It felt great. This challenge is making me accountable so I'm hoping I will surpass my goal of 160 by my BD, but we'll see.

Re: Birthday Challenge

Congrats iwrite. Being accountable to yourself is great, because if you cheat, you are only cheating yourself! With that type of attitude, you will definately reach your birthday goal!!!

Re: Birthday Challenge

Down another 1.5 pounds this morning to 205. At this rate, I should be at 200 by Wednesday!!

Although it is Friday, the weekend is approaching & I always find that hard! I'm determined to get through Saturday/Sunday without cheating, even a little bit. The scale is my inspiration, if the numbers go up at all, I'm doomed!!

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Re: Birthday Challenge

Good work on the 1.5 pound loss. I'm worried about the weekend too. We have a birthday celebration on Sunday, my nephew's 21st. The good news is we are going to TGI Friday's and I will have their low carb steak and brocoli and will bring home a piece of their low carb cheesecake to eat while everyone else is having Birthday cake. I did that for my other nephew's birthday and it didn't cause a stall or gain.

Plan your food and drink your water and you will be okay!

Re: Birthday Challenge

Congrats on your 1.5lbs weight loss Skinnyby25.

And I agree with Iwritedocs, plan what food you will eat and you will be O.K. My DH and I are going to the mountains to our friends place for the weekend, we leave today after work! I have made a list of all the food I need to bring to stay on plan, including snacks, meals, even bottled water (as we will be doing alot of hiking in the mountains). The cooler will be the last thing packed before we leave! I know I will stay on plan, as I am totally prepared. BTW, we will also be eating out dinner 1 night, so I will be selective as usual.

You can do it,,,,just PLAN!!! Have a great weekend all!!

Re: Birthday Challenge

Hi Everyone! I'm down another 1.5lbs this week, bringing me to 165.5 (again!) Hopefully this week I'll see virgin weight, again.

Only 10.5 lbs and 9 weeks to go for my Birthday Challenge goal! Gulp!

Re: Birthday Challenge

Okay, I made it through the weekend. The only bad (I guess) thing put in my mouth was one glass of white wine at dinner last night, even though I had three birthday cakes staring me in the face. The trick was getting that low carb (6 g) cheesecake slice from Friday's so I could eat some goodies too. 3.5 pounds to lose before my birthday in 4 weeks.

Re: Birthday Challenge

hopefully it is not too late for me to join??? my birthday isn't until march 25th, but i would love to be down to 125 by then. i will be turning 30 and i know that the older i get the harder it is going to be for me to lose this weight. so that is about 40lbs to lose and about 8 months to do it. so that's 5lbs a month. seems possible, but god am i losing slow. anyway, hope you guys don't mind if i join in the challenge.

Re: Birthday Challenge

Rybread, congrats on your 1.5 lb loss, you're on your way down again

Magenta, welcome aboard good luck on your birthday challenge.

Everyone seems to be coming along real well now, as time for some of us is closing in, looks like alot of us will make our goal! And others will be really close! It is important to have mini incentives along the way, and it will make our ultimate final goal, alot more attainable! Good luck all

Re: Birthday Challenge

Hey all. I just wanted to report in that I've reached my birthday goal! My birthday was 9 days ago, but better late than never!!! I'm officially in the 180's, weighing in this morning at 189.5. Total lost is 13 pounds in just over 2 months.
