I am still around. I am starting to exercise again after having a nasty sinus infection that knocked the crap out of my body. The only challenge I am facing now is losing 15 pounds for my plastic surgery appointment at the end of March. I took a different brand of birth control pills in December and I gained 15 pounds in 2 months with them, along with high blood pressure but I am not on them anymore. The weight on the scale is starting to shift but it was bad timing to have that happen.

Hello lovely ladies! Sorry about the long absence...I have been crazed with work and I just got a new job so, phew!, I am back now though...

Still doing well and maintaining the loss so far, I am trying to lose another 5lbs in the next 3 weeks or so...(I just bought a pair of too small jeans for inspiration lol)

How is everyone else holding up? Did the chocolates get to anyone else on Valentines?

Dieselsmomma: Don't get too discouraged, life changes are a slow process and the turtle always wins the race. BTW, I love your new avy, you are a knockout!

i just had a really bad night
ate so much food -- unhealthy food
hitting the gym tomorrow for sure!

Ok so I am so excited right now...I have officially dropped down one jeans size!


I have tried on all of my 31's and they are perfect! I cannot wait until these are too big as well!

oh courtzzz dont worry I'm sure you can lose it. BP weight SUCKS.

Congrats BrairPatch! weeeeeeee!

My friend lost a bunch of weight and it's really motivating me. It proves that "really it's not that hard" and that I can do it (again).

I kinda did nothing (still exercised but drank and ate) for 2 weeks but have been back on track. I managed to fit into 2 pairs of jeans (the inbetween sizes) and I remember how great it feels to have so much denim choice in the morning!!! 8 more lbs to go. whoot whoot!

According to my scale, I'm down 6 pounds from my original weight. I'm thinking of loosing 4-6 more and then stopping.

Despite the roadblock that caused me to gain 15 pounds, I am still exercising and eating healthy (I hate eating junk like kraft dinner, processed foods etc.).

Good news is since I switched to tricyclen-lo from linessa that caused me to gain weight, my blood pressure went from 139/89 to 120/84 in 2 weeks and my skin cleared up in 2 weeks as well. I feel confident now that the scale will shift down

yay court! and congrats callire!!! I love both of your pics by the way!

I just ate...dun dun dun! wings for dinner! *gasp* To make it not so terrible I limited my portion size and did NOT have a single pint of Canadian with them. It was hard, but I even turned down the rum and diet. I also exercised this morning and plan on going for a run in about 1/2 hour and doing some pilates.

i've dropped four pounds since i last weighed!
but this saturday's gonna be a stinker for me
alcohol and nachos -- very very good nachos my friends mom is a freakin god when it comes to nachos

I've lost 1 pound but my ribcage is where the weight seems to be coming off of right now

Congrats on the weight loss everyone! So I've had amazing progress lately. Only 5lbs to my goal weight now.

I went and did "hot yoga" today. I loved loved loved it! I'm going again tomorrow and plan on looking into buying a package.

Also...I had a great time last night at a b-day party where I: didn't eat any food, and only drank rum and diets (ok, so I had a few more than I should have had, but it was a big improvement).

Down 2 pounds

^ awsome! I'm down a pound too, which makes me happy. I'm missing yoga this morning and it sucks, but I'm going tonight at 6pm instead. Or Friday morning. I can't decide. I'm missing this morning not to be lazy! But because I have a group meeting afterwards and getting there on time is probably not going to happen.

My next challenge? I need to stop over eating on yoga days. Seriously, for some reason I'm starving afterwards. So before I go I'm throwing away all my garbage food so that I only have healthy food.

This weekend I'm going to some hot springs, or maybe edmonton to go shopping. It's up to my bf he's taking me for my anniversary So I here by pledge to the people who frequent this thread that I WILL NOT over eat and be a piglet where ever I go. In the face of fast food I will pick the healthiest option and avoid fries. At any dinners out I will order some type of salad and will avoid booze at all costs. I WILL remain happy with my weight loss instead of disapointed with a small gain!!!
hahaha woo! feel the power.

Hi everyone! I haven't been on here in a while but I have lost 8 pounds since new years. It's basically been 1lb per week. Yay!

Congrats!!! And losing a pound per week is a very safe amount to lose because it will be fat your losing, and you are less likely to gain it all back
