Well, I just got a second and I wanted to say, WELCOME BACK BRITTANY!!!! So glad you are back! And if you lost and kept off ten pounds this last month, that's awesome! I think most of us gained or stayed the same, so good for you!
I am starting the 3dd tomorrow. My hubby is on the way home with my grapefruit as we speak!!!
Oh, and even if it says you cannot edit the posts, or gives an error message or whatever, it really does edit the post! Weird, huh?
Marie, I hope all goes well for you today! My heart goes out to you, I have had those same kinds of problems and I wouldn't wish it for anyone! Keep us posted, okay?
And Charito, just so you know, I dusted off my treadmill today and did my 30 minutes as promised! And now I want a nap!! 
Hope you're all having a good day!

isn't it like the men to all of a sudden fiddle with electronics when real work has to be done! And look at that.. even in your "bad" photo your peirceing blue eyes are amazing wow
Paragon
hahaha I so know the boob thing! oh my god it sucks! You know frankly I'll be honest.. when I go out I'd rather have people look at my boobs then my belly and now that my boobs are shrinking its making my belly look bigger! oh God why do you play these tricks on us!!!...jerk hehehe
Sally
hehehe I've had a chair colapse on me too. I went to a resturant by myself so right there I'm already embarrased. I decided to eat on the patio and went to sit down on one of those plastic patio chairs. The whole thing broke!!! Oh my god I was so embarrased... the only thing that I was happy with was before the chair broke I at least changed my order from a big ol hamburger to a ceaser salad. So at least people saw I was trying to change....

Evening ladies, Its fantastic to see everyone sounding so positive and motivated - I think this is going to be a successful month. It must be the rising temperatures that are getting us re-focussed on our goals!!!
I am posting in a hurry tonight and hopefully tommorrow will have time to 'talk' more.
Sally - those are great pictures!! And the one of you now - OMG you are fading away - that suit is hanging off you and you look really well!
Mandy that before picture of you grouting really cracks me up every time I see it - I just love the look on your face!
Charito, It looks like you have an awful lot of work with this table on top of your academic studies. I wish there was a way of each of us being able to get into a general table and updating it weekly with our details - this would save you a LOT of work - but I have no idea how to go about it. Maybe each of us coul carry an individual table with those stats in our signature section so it appeared every time we post??? Ny the way you look bloomin gorgeous!!!
My stats are:
Starting weight 156 lbs
Current 146 (not 140 - I wish I were!!)
Weighloss goal - 2lbs (at least)
Goal for end of June - 134 lbs
Exercise - 350 mins
Bicep - 11.5 cm
Exercise, water, sit ups - all done for today!!


:clapping
Have a great day girls, whatever you are doing!

Hi Everyone! I am starting the CSD tomorrow. I have this thing about starting it on a Monday so I'm starting with the veggies and potato day and acting as if I did the Fruit day already. I would have started it today if I didn't spend all night waiting for take off at JFK. The soup is being cooked right now. If any of you are new to this diet it is the best! I quit smoking 3 months ago and have put on about 15 pounds. This June challenge is exactly what I need! GLad to to have CSD buddies!!

Congratulations, Cabbage Super Queen, on giving up smoking. That must have been tough. If you have enough willpower to beat and addiction like that, I'm sure you'll be able to lose weight sticking to the CSD.

Thanks! I have done the CSD before with amazing results and recommended it to friends who have also been successful. I was really happy to find this site as it sounds like a fun way to keep motivated:P

Girls 
I am so sorry to say this, but I can't keep up doing the tables and study at the same time, specially now that my exam is so close, a week exactly.
I am asking for help, SINEAD, ROTTINGOAK, SALLY, you girls offered to help, so I am asking for help, after june 12 I will have more time to share with you guys, this exam is making me crazy and I need to practice as many clinical cases as I can. please don't be upset.
Sally, Sinead and Rottingoak, thanks for offering the help, I hope any of you could finish this, all of us will thank you for that 
To Rottingoak, Sally and Sinead,
Girls, please Help!!!!
I need to ask you a big big favor!!!!!
I just joined a course for my test on June 12, so I am really busy until that day, but I don't want to fail the team for the June Challenge.
After June 12 I will have more time for myself and will be able to post regularly but until that day I am hooked to my books, I am really sorry about this![]()
Please help me by doing the stats for June? Could you?
What I do is really primitive:
- I just do the tables in word
- Then I paste it to a new page in Paint program and save it as jpg
- Upload it to your Photobucket account
- Lastly, just paste it with your posts (pick the IMG code option)
If you want the format I already have, send me an email to: charitodoc@hotmail.com
THANKS!
Thanks

This is me...actually about 8 pounds ago! Charito, dahling...you want to talk about arms and belly now?? I look 5 months pregnant! 
This is the bridesmaid dress I'm wearing this Saturday...mine is a couple sizes bigger than the model's, but hey...I FIT IN MY DRESS, THANK GOD!!
These are the reasons I need to lose weight so I am healthy and sticking around for many years to come...
Everyone, sorry the pictures are so big...that's the next question is how can I reduce the size? Sorry I'm not so savvy on this stuff. But thanks for the info on how to get them pasted here!!
XOXOXO to you all! I am always so jazzed to get on this site and get the motivation I need. Will post more later, but I must run to a dinner function for work. (Don't worry...it's the right night to be doing this. Day 6 and I'm going to a steak place with a huge salad bar. Perfect, right?! Can't wait!)

Ok that is to the pain in the neck who is still at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we will be naming and shaming you in whatever name you are using soon!!
OK now back to my friends, now for those of us that need inspiration at the moment to get back on track go back and re-read the threads where you succeeded with losing weight maybe for some on the May thread! Read and remember how happy you felt when you weighed in and you'd lost!!!
Now several of us have not done so well since and the off diet time has been long enough and we all are in need of that good feeling we get from losing weight again! We are not going to do that if we all keep on cheating so I think it is strict diet time again to give us another boost. I'm doing CSD for one week and am looking forward to the 4lbs at least loss I will have at the end of this week and we need to remember it is only 7 days!!!!!
OK I'm going to get started on the chart my task for the day to stop me eating off diet lol! WOW IT'S HARD I THINK I'LL WAIT UNTIL I GET THE FORMAT FROM CHARITO!! I'VE GOT ALL THE INFO SORTED AND READY THOUGH THAT TOOK AN HOUR!![]()

Okay Sally, another positive point for you to negate that jerk! Forget him/her, obviously they have absolutely no life!
And bless you for taking on that chart!
My eyes were starting to go a little crazy just looking at it! 
Charito, don't worry about it! Your exams are #1 right now! You get through them and then you'll be able to fully concentrate on getting ready for your wedding! 
Beachykeen, thanks about the eyes....at least I always still have them, they don't get fat!
And great pic, looks like you're a lot of fun, and we have the same vices! I think a lot of us do on here!
MaidofHonor, I cannot figure out how to reduce the size of the pics either! I was embarrassed on one of the other threads I posted 4 pictures in a row and it seemed to take up a whole page! But don't worry about it, we all love the pics! Anyways, I love the dress, simple yet beautiful, and I'm sure that you will be beautiful in it! Make sure you post wedding pics when you get them! And your boys are adorable! I'll have to see if I can find a good picture of mine to post. But mine are past that young and cute phase and onto the "OMG somebody please stop them from growing up!" stage. 
And speaking of them, time to get them off to school. More later...

Okay, this is the most recent pic of my boys that I can find on my computer right now. My oldest is wearing the gray Sabres hoodie and my youngest is in the blue Sabres t-shirt. The others are my nephews. My boys are ages 12 and 14 and they are my reasons for wanting to lose weight to be healthy and live a long life!
Aren't some of you from California? My oldest son is a HUGE Anaheim Ducks fan -- can't figure out where he got that from because we are all die hard Sabres fans! -- and he is in his glory right now with the Ducks only one game away from the Cup! Sometimes I'm a little relieved that the Sabres didn't make it to the finals because it would've been a pretty bitter battle in our house! But right now we are all just glad to see the Ducks rolling over Ottawa!
In this picture my husband is the one on the left. My sister is in the middle and brother -in-law is on the right. My husband is why I want to lose weight for all of the most vain reasons!!! 

And I have a few questions for people who have done or know about the 3 day diet.
First, when Charito first posted the 3dd, it showed 30 minutes of exercise first thing in the morning, before breakfast. Is that really necessary to do it right when you wake up? That's a hard time of day for me.
Second, is it really important to drink the coffee WITH the meals? I like my coffee the very first thing in the AM, before my eyes are even open. But I don't like to eat immediately when I wake up, it makes me a little sick!
Okay, last question, when I did this before I had a really hard time eating all of that food at dinner all at once. Does anyone know if I could split it and do like the fruit and ice cream an hour or two later? We eat dinner early anyways, like 4 or 5, so I would be having the fruit and ice cream around 7.
Last time I did this I lost like 2 1/2 pounds in the 3 days, without exercise and under a lot of stress. The last day I didn't even eat most of the things I was supposed to because I was so busy! But I'm wondering if I would've lost more if I had done it differently. Anybody have any ideas?
Well, I'm off for my grapefruit and peanut butter toast! Hope everyone is having a great morning! Or afternoon (Sally)!

Oh Sally, thank you for doing this. Sorry
I was really busy with my essay last night.. it's due today. Anyway, good for you for ignoring that jerk. Show him/her you're the boss.
My starting weight in May was 132, and my weight loss weekly pledge is 2 lbs, I plan to workout 50 minutes a day, five times a week for a total 250 minutes a week.
Mandy, let us know how the grapefruit diet works out for you.

Hi Sally,
Thanks so much for doing the chart for Charito. It looks like quiet a bit to keep up with.
Here is some more information for my 'blanks'... Goal for June weight loss, 10 pounds.
Exercise... 5-7 hours a week Jazzercise, Cardio kickboxing, or walking. I have been doing this already for the last 6 weeks. I haven't really lost any weight, but I know that i have firmed up quiet a bit.
Good luck to everyone and have a good day.

Sally, you are such a champ for doing that! Fabulous job!
Rottingoak, I am doing the 3 day diet. Day one breakfast is a 1/2 grapefruit and peanut butter toast! (Which was delicious by the way!!!) I will let you know how it goes, though. And I think Paragon is testing out the grapefruit diet and I am anxious to hear her results on that one too!
Marie, how did everything go with the DR. yesterday? Are you okay?
Twilight, WAKE UP! Just kidding.... It must be like 5:30 in the morning where you are right now. Just wondered how your day went yesterday. I did good all the way up till dinner when I gave in and ate a cheeseburger.
But I hadn't had much else all day but All Bran and fruit and veggies and I ended up losing half a pound so not a total loss.
Okay, off to the treadmill!
