[Shelly Lynn]

well it seemed to have been going great i had gone down all the way to 175.0 and then of all things TOM. So im up to 177.0 but still under my last weeks weigh in so im still jumping for joy. Its going slowley but at least its still going. Check in next week.

[lauralei]

sounds good to me - i have a lot more to lose - but would like down 50 lbs by then ---

[Effie]

I'll join you Shelly Lynn!

I think I'd also do better with a longer goal. I'm only on week 3, but so far my losses have been small. I never got the big induction whoosh, so I'm probably better off focusing long term.

200.5/197/175 - That's about 1 pound a week.

My official weigh-in days are Mondays.

Good Luck to us! Gobble Gobble!

[FightingTheFight]

I need a long term challenge So I will have to jump in on this. My next weigh in isn't until June 20th, because like to do monthly weigh ins...lol


I am going to set a goal of 250 by thanksgiving. I don't know if its to high or not but I will see as time goes on.

I am on extended induction and started atkins(again) on April 23.

335/299/230 -50lbs to go

[FightingTheFight]

So how is everyone doing! where are the posts!

Shamless BUMP!

[Effie]

For some reason I couldn't post at all yesterday, so here are my weekly results (one day late):

I GAINED a half a pound! But I lost a half inch all over. Oh, and I'm still down 1/2 pound from when I first posted in this challenge.

200.5/196.5/175

Maybe I'll spice things up with a photo from today. I smell a "before" picture here!

Gotta love that exercise!! :icondance

Gotta love the Feline :nod, I am a cat person myself. I have a norwegian forest cat and love her to death.

::whistles:: look at the challenge hottie :hug

[Effie]

I'm surprised you could see the cat through all that crap! This is my guest room, where all of my junk goes to die. All of those bags of clothes on the floor in front of me are clothes that are too small. I have been keeping them for so long because I thought it would be fun to be able to fit into them when I lose the weight, but they're all so gross and out of fashion. I picked out all the good stuff, and the rest has to go! Someday I'll get around to getting rid of it. It's been so long that I can't even see them anymore, you know? They're a permanent fixture in the room.

I have two cats.. that black one is Duke, and I have a calico named Cassie. They look exactly like this painting, which is the focal point of our living room. Is it obvious that we don't have kids? :yes

[ztachick]

Ill join..shelly you gonna keep track of our weight for us?
my stats are 181.5 / 181.5/ 150
i look forward to getting to know all of you on this challenge :wave

[FightingTheFight]

ZTA, Welcome aboard....you will be most welcome here! We have a good challenge ahead of us.


Effie, Ever think about donating those clothes to Good will or salvation Army, or actually, The Kidney foundadtion. all very good charities.

Beautiful felines, I would have many but my living space is limited and only can afford one. I am a a veternarian technician and come across Animals I just want to take home but can't! lol

[sparkles52502]
