Anyway, I had a good week until yesterday! Ran three times last week, which was my goal, and went for a walk Saturday. I was down 1 1/2 pounds on Saturday - yay! Yesterday I walked alot at the zoo, but also unfortunately had fast food for lunch, some ice-cream and then dessert last night... Oops. Although my calorie counting was great all week until then.
Unfortunately this morning only weighed in at 1/2 lb down, which I really don't believe... (there is no way I gained 1lb since Sat. even with yesterday!)
Anyway, at least I'm getting a little closer to my mini goal - 5lb in 3 weeks. I know I can do that in the next 2 weeks!
I am aiming to lose a total of 7-10lb, which would get me to 127 - 130lb. I just really want to get rid of some of my post-baby tummy and fit in my pre-baby clothes. My DD said on Sat that I looked as though I have a baby in my tummy!! Talk about motivation...
Hope you all had a good week - who else is out there?

I've had a pretty good week. Today CANNOT count - it's my birthday. This AM DH made waffles and bacon. I AM A BACON JUNKIE!!!
For lunch - they took me to Chili's. YIKES. I did however wear a shirt that I NEVER wore in public until very recently!!
AND - the boys' birthday party is this weekend.
Heaven help me!!!
I do have to say though that I have lost nine pounds since mid-February. My DH had a major health scare (they thought he had a stroke and he was in the hospital for almost a week. He's 34!!) We've changed our eating habits - WAYYYYY less junk, no soda, etc. We feel SOO much better!!!!!! He's lost nine also. So, we continue!

I got really frustrated because I just couldn't get down under 150. I was doing awesome....I started going to the gym 3x a week. I lost a bunch of inches, but gained lbs & got frustrated.....I'm a numbers gal!! We're going to Utah in June, then Chicago in July & camping right when I get back....I want to be around 140-145 by then!!

Today...145...I want to lose 15-20 lbs.
My biggest problem is my birth control. I am on Depo and have been for 5 years...in those 5 years...I have gained 20 lbs...appearantly...I will continue to gain as long as I am on it...it is really hard to loose weight too...but I want it GONE!!!
what day is weigh-in?

I first thought I needed to lose about 15 pounds until I got on the wretched scale...I need to lose 22 pounds! I weighed in yesterday at 140. I'm one of the munchkins at 5' so every pound shows. Starting last Thursday I gave up soda and it's sooo hard to walk by that case of Dr Pepper in my laundry room. I even passed on ordering my favorite Baja Blast at Taco Bell today. I have been drinking water and I already feel better...not lighter...just better.
DH and I went for a walk down our road, which is steep and long, to set up our new sign and I didn't huff and puff climbing back up the hill.:sing: I'm trying to get used to this now 'post 40' body. I never believed anyone that it's harder to lose after 40, but now I realize that it's dreadfully true.
I'm looking forward to keeping myself accountable on this board...thanks so much for setting it up!:chef:- 211
