I had a totally out-of-control week so I didn't even get on the scale, but I KNOW I didn't meet my goal of 20 lbs. I have started amping up my exercise time and hopefully, that will help me expend some of my energy instead of stuffing my face. Does anyone know if there is another challenge starting anytime soon? If there is, I definitely want in on it, I need the opportunity to be publically accountable to myself in a safe environment.

I am so proud of all of you who took part in this challenge, the path is not easy, but together we can make the journey fun!

XOXO Beth

With all the sickness that's going around everywhere.. I wouldn't be surprised if she got it. I sure hope she's ok though.. this stomach virus and flu and everything else is hard on everyone.

Be Blesssed.

Thanks, I'll have to try the carb thing. As for eating resonably, I think I do that part.. I know I didn't used to but since I have started this diet what 6 weeks ago...I have been eating much healthier.. I've been eating alot of greens too. I still eat Grilled Cheese but I only put one piece of cheese on it instead of two and I've been more whole grain stuff.

Hugabug,

Try cutting your carbs down to under 150 per day, you will loose weight without even trying! I have a friend who became diabetic and was put on a divided 150 carb diet- 45 per meal, and 15 per snack x 2, she lost 35 lbs, and controlled her diabetes.

So I started doing it myself, under 150 per day, and I have lost 15 lbs, and have not been hungry once. Eat reasonably , your other foods of course.

I have actually lost no weight this week. I am now trying to maintain what I have lost. However, congrats to those still losing the pounds! To those going onward with the Easter Challenge, I wish you good luck.

Ok. Let me start again! This sight makes me so angry! Anyway.... I haven't lost anything this week and I am about ready to give up. I have been dealing with 3 sick babies for the past week and a half in and out of hospital. I am eating and I'm exercising in way of up and down stairs to laundry and baths, and to the hospital (afraid of elevators so I take the stairs), washing walls, and floors, and just constant running and cleaning. I lost one pound and to me that's pathetic since I'm doing so much. I don't have the support I need and I don't have the finances to buy these fancy exercise machines.. I don't know what to do. I'm up for an easter challenge but I need support of some kind and I'm not even sure what that support is.

Thanks

Wow! Thanks for all the hard work you put into this. I love it! I've not been very good about checking the posts to see how other people are doing, but I will from now on! When do we start the Easter Challenge.....I'm in! I've lost 15, but needs about 20 more before the end of May. You have been wonderful to do all of this. My hat off to you~ have a great week.

Great Jill. I hope we're not the only 2 left!! I don't see alot of action on this discussion lately.

I'm definitely in. I so hope Kris wants to be our moderator again. I will go for another 20 lbs. by April 12 (Easter). jill

Agreed, now we need to extend our challenge so we can complete our goals. I added another 10 pounds to my goal weight, now I have 18 to loose, then I'm done. Let's pick a reasonable date, like Easter? Is that in April? and go for it.

OK - Put me down for a pound! This challenge has been sooooooooo hard for me. I am the Biggest Non-Loser! One pound total loss for the entire challenge. On the positive side I have not gained any additional weight and I am building some awesome muscle. I told my husband that maybe I am at the weight I am supposed to be at since I don't smoke anymore. I am staying positive though. I will continue to eat health and excercise. Good Luck to all!

Hey, maybe we could do an Easter/Spring Challenge. That would give everyone an additional 8 weeks to meet some goals. I'm game if anyone else is.

Keep Moving!
