Small victories build up to big ones! Well done. 
A gala, how exciting! Do you have a dress, or are you going to go shopping? It sounds like it's going to be a wonderful event!
Sorry about your period, mine was miserable this past week too.
Hopefully it has eased off for you now!
I'm getting back on track today (up 2 lbs after all the food and beer from this weekend). Supposed to be in the 70s tomorrow, so hoping to get a walk in with DD before the storm rolls through!

I'd vote shopping, but then I love looking for new clothes. 
Do they kind of fit, or is it more "can't get the zipper up"? I think 5 lbs is do-able!
You can always choose your favorite dress of the bunch, and use that as a measurement of your progress until then, versus the scale.

(I was almost 127 on Tuesday though, so I'll accept 126!)Thanks! I managed to not go completely off the rails around my period. This time, I didn't gorge on chips, chocolate and wine. I'd like to say that I showed amazing willpower, but truthfully I just didn't have the cravings.
I still have that facial and pedicure groupon that I bought a while back. I said I would use it as a ten pound reward, and that is still the plan. I think I am now back again to my lowest point in this weight loss challenge (before I gained everything back). I had started at 156 so three and a bit pounds to go. Looking forward to it.

Scale is acting odd. I weighed myself 4 times in 3 minutes. The results were 149, 148.8, 147.6, and 148.8. Hmm. I'm going to go with 148.8 as my "official" result for today.
Just finalizing our taxes and DH and I will be getting a decent return. I think I will buy myself one of those Aria scales.

Getting close to the end of my 5k training program. It is getting intense...today was a five minute warm up walk, 15 minute run, 3 minute walk, 5 minute run, and 5 minute cool down walk. It was tough to run for 15 minutes straight but I did it.
I am at the top of my fitbit friends list. I have one friend in Disneyworld right now (so walking all day) and a couple of others who are runners, so I need to get a lot of steps to stay on top. It is 9:30 am here and I have already gotten 6k. I am on holidays this week so it is much easier without work to contend with!

I am getting close to a couple of milestones that will be satisfying:
When I lose 2.2 more pounds I will have lost ten pounds, and will be able to reward myself with a facial and pedicure.
When I lose 3.3 more pounds, I will have less than 20 pounds to lose.
When I lose 11.2 more pounds, I will no longer be considered overweight by BMI calculations. I've decided that at this point, I am getting my hair cut and coloured. Or I might do it before May 3, the fancy gala. Hmm. Whatever comes first, I guess.

Sorry for being MIA this week! 
Well done on the steps and goal! I think I'm back to the bottom of my Fitbit list again, oops. A trip to Disney sounds like just the thing to get my steps in again! Do you run it at a more leisurely pace, or do you push yourself?
Yay for definitely being under 150 now! So close to two goals as well, woohoo!

I need a serious kick in the rear to get back to exercising again. I've just wanted to sleep this week away!

Well done! Only 7 lbs to go until the 130s!
Only 7 lbs to go until the 130s!Friday night, I don't know what's hit me. I ended up eating plate after plate of rice and dumplings. And I had a beer. And some cookies. It was more carbs in that one sitting than in the past two weeks altogether. Sigh.
Actually, I do know what hit me. PMS. Back with a vengeance. Fortunately I have gotten ahold of myself and have stuck to healthy eating yesterday and today. I got on the treadmill for 72 minutes today. 28 of them running!
I weighed myself this morning and was up to 151.4. Nice. Over four pounds in one indulgent meal. Thank you very much, stupid body. I know it is not a "real" weight gain, but still discouraging. I am just going to keep on with the exercise and water and healthy eating. I won't weigh in again until Thursday. Hopefully it will all be gone by then.
I am starting to notic changes in my body. My boobs are smaller
and my face looks thinner. I have reclaimed two more pairs of pants. My arms used to be too fat for a particular shirt. I can now get it on. It is still too tight to wear, but the progress is noted. And...this one is hard to explain, and not a pretty image. It used to be that when I bent over, my stomach would hang down in this big, round, kind-of sac. Now when I bend over. My stomach is less round, almost triangle shaped. Still puffed out in the middle but flatter on the sides. I still have lots of weight to lose, but it is nice to see some results.

Hello, Warby congrats on the wight loss.
I am back on the diet now I had a month or so off for my own sanity and managed to keep my weight at 155 (so a stone down from where I started). So going to spend the nextix weeks dieting and and then see where I am.

Hello girls! I just wanted to share with you my progress As i don;t have the time to go to the gym, I started to work out from home.
Last month I bumped to a service called fitaborate with free fitness videos which looked to me pretty good and started to workout through this service, following a healthy diet plan provided by a nutritionist friend of mine. So far (1 month period), I've lost 8 pounds! Yeah
Daily exercise makes difference! I am working out every day, usually cardio workouts and circuit training, while I am eating 3 meals and a snack. The first week was very difficult for me but I got used to it..

Congrats on weight loss and progress!!
I've been slacking on the exercise lately, and it's rained every day for the past week or so, so no walks. I'm trying to get back on the wagon! (my husband has been working out twice a day, for an hour... I'm such a slacker
)
