Final weigh in 171. I'll agree with Meja--maintanance. Almost met my goal, but glad that I only went up 1 pound after all the stress eating I did over the past few day. Hopefully I will make some headway this week so that I don't fall back too far with the stress of Mom's surgery on the 23rd. Will see everyone at the next challenge!

Well congrats to the weight loss of each of the wonderful ladies here in this group.

My weigh in yesterday:

198.4

So, I have gone from 223.8 down 25.4 lbs to a wonderful 198.4

I reached my goal and went a little further. LOL.

I am so psyched and happy. Much success to everyone here. Sorry I have not been logging in as much as I would like to. Unfortunately work lately has been brutal.

I hope everyone here had a GREAT Mother's Day.

Congrat to all the one that had there goald

For myself i am 1lbs heavier , i had lose 4 lbs and gain 5 back. I start a new medication and it look like i was holding water it seem to be the side effect, but i do not feel so bloted right now , so tomorrow i will weight myself and make it my day to get weighted and let you know what is happening.
Other then retaining water those medication are realling helping the pain, it is for fibro,

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
Did my weigh in I didn't make my goal but to be honest I could have put in a lot more work than I did. 2.5 pounds was pretty good but I will have to wait a little longer for my reward. Congrats to all who lost and chin up to those who didn't. Wishing you all the best. I will be moving on to my Canada Day Challenge. Thanks for all the support.

But I lost 4 lbs. I started this challenge at 159.5 lbs. - up from 154 a few weeks earlier -- and today I'm at 155.5.

Looking on the brighter side, I'm almost back down to 154, where I was in February, and I'll see y'all on the Father's Day Challenge.

Thank you everyone for all your suppport. My mom got a good report from the neurologist (they thought she had also had a TIA (mini stroke) which would have caused problems with the surgery). Now they believe it was a bizare migraine instead. So she is scheduled for surgery, to remove a lobe of her lung, on May 23rd. The hospital she will be in is only 2 hours from me, so I will be able to spend some time with her then. If the edges of the tumor come out clean and no lymph nodes are involved, then she should be ok. We'll just have to wait to see.

I won't weigh until Monday, but due to this last week, I do not believe I will meet my goal:(

Let's go!

I'm sure glad I could help you out! a duathalon is run 2 miles bike 16 miles and run 3 miles. . .I'm excited but haven't been able to start my training yet. . .so I'm nervous that I won't be ready! my daughter graduates college this weekend on mothers day and I've been so very stressed over it all. . .I'm a control kinda person and she graduates out of state and we come back in state to have her party - and normally I would do the entire event myself so it is my way - but this time I have to let someone else handle it and it is driving me crazy. . .so monday morning I start my training. . .I hope to be ready. . .my goal for all my races. . hahaha say that like a professional. . .only been in 2 so far. . haha is to finish them - I don't care where or even if I'm the last one - just to finish! that is enough for me! so thanks for the confidence girl! you rock my world and inspire me to achieve - we make a good team! so you stay strong and I can't wait to hear all about your 1/2!!!

Oh Patty. Just take it slow and easy (try). God will help you, your family and your mom through this. Your mom has already proven herself to be a force to be reconed with - with having beaten breast cancer! So don't beat yourself up about not being able to get there right away. Pray hard and you will be led where you need to be.

Oh AP! I am so sorry to hear, and I know you want some junk food. HUGS.

Can you go and take a walk? When CAN you go see your mother?

Wendy--I'm glad you found your cat. How did you bounce back??
I have been under a huge amount of stress lately--you know just the kind us mom's deal with daily--4 kids, 2 family businesses, taxes, a child with serious undiagnosed illnes going on 2 years...etc. I'd been dealing with all this ok. Then the sick child comes home unable to see! She is a Junior and this is SAT, Subject test, Final, AP exam time! So add to the list 2 new specialists (I think we are at 10 now), multiple appts., testing, emergency meetings with the school etc. I thought I was finally falling over the edge. Then yesterday there was a HUGE incident regarding one of the AP exams with HUGE implications--and a FREAKED out child/friends. I was really losing it and eating a box of xlarge chocolate chip cookies. And then ended the day finding out my mother (62) has been diagnosed with lung cancer! She has never smoked and has already survived breast cancer (and this cancer is unrelated to the breast cancer). She lives 5 hours away and with the status of my kids, I can't just leave and be there with her. I'm lost. I don't know what to do. Though the day keeps going and there are still demands that must be met. Life goes on. I finally have reached the point that I can no longer handle everything--just at a time when I need to take action. Sorry--I didn't mean to express all this, but I had to get away from the food. I only have 2 # to go to meet my goal and all I want to do is curl up with LOTS of junk food!
