Maybe I missed it but I didn't see a weigh in thread for this week.

I'm still plugging along. I have lost 5 lbs in the last 3 weeks.
I am still looking to loose another 10 lbs by conference, that's 7 weeks away.
I have my eye on some clothes in my closet I want to were there.

Hope you all are doing well and keep plugging along. We can do this.
 
Good for you Karynne. I'll be at wave 2 with you! I want to be 16 pounds lighter. I weighed for the last time in my gym's "biggest loser" contest. I lost 1 1/2 pounds last week. I'm in the semi-finals (#9 in weight loss). I won't be winning the big one, because someone has been running and is at almost 50 pounds lighter. But, that's okay. I'm healthier and have made a life change. Plus- I wouldn't be able to attend NC since my next weigh in is July 15. I'm weighing early for my own knowledge and still competing.
 
The secret is changing you metabolism. It took me 8 weeks before I started to see a significant weight loss. I was excercising 4-5 times a week for an hour. We just finished week 16. Last week I only worked out 1 day and lost 1 1/2 pounds. My body reacts to what happened the previous week. I'm still enjoying food, just in moderation, cut out regular pop, and work out on the treadmill 4-5 days a week. Good luck!

weight loseThanks Julie for the advise and kind words.
I have lost 40 lbs since January 1 of this year. For exercise I have just been walking. I walk 2-3 miles at least 6 days a week. I know I have to step it up so when the local YMCA offered a special summer rate for families I signed up this week.
Keep up the good work and I'll do the same.
 
I didn't see a weigh in this week either but I just weighed myself amd it looks like I'm down 6 lbs! Thats for two weeks though, I didn't weigh myself last week. I've just been making better food choices and walking every other day. On the off days I do a mommy-baby work out routine, it's made to do with your baby and entertain them as well... my son could care less!!! LOL!
 
I have been doing terrible, but lets not give up!! Keep up the good work those of you who have been sticking to it and losing! It's great! I will get back on track one of these days. My hubby comes home in a week so lets hope I can find a little more time to exercise then.
 
Good luck everyone! Urbnk8- you and I are on the same track. I started at 217 in January. My goal weight is 125 pounds by Jan.1.
