Thanks! I'm doing Weight Watchers and really sticking to it 6 out of 7 days. I also work out three days a week (I really need to up it to 4 days)
Unfortunately my belly isn't going down at ALL so it still looks like I'm three months pregnant. 
It's amazing to see how much food I was eating, that I didn't NEED to eat. Between bigger portions, and snacks...it's amazing I wasn't 50lbs heavier

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!
I've had quite the roller coaster ride. I started at 146. Lost and gained some weight so that last week I was 145.5. Now I'm 144.5, so I lost 1 lb this week, and 1.5 total loss (it says 3.5 on the front, but I gained some of that back  ). But at least it is a net loss, so I'm happy.

Had a TERRIBLE eating weekend! I'm having a really hard time staying on track over the weekends!
I'm not doing this challenge because Im doing WW and have different goals for myself but I love reading though it-congratulations to everyone.
Just wanted to address the above-I would try moving your weigh in day.
Instead of weighing in on Friday, try weighing in on Sunday morning. This is what I do (I started doing it because it is the only WW meeting that really fits my schedule right now).
The benefit of weighing in on Sunday is that it keep you in check on Friday and Saturday but you still have Sun to "splurge" a little.
I know my hardest challenge is staying the course on the weekends. Also, after weigh in I tend to relax the rules a bit for myself. Weighing in on Sundays prevents that "relaxing of the rules" to continue all weekend. I stay the course Friday and Sat, Sun I relax it a bit and then Monday it's back to work and back to the routine.
Just thought it might help others-I stumbled upon this by accident and it seems to work.
Good luck everyone!

How much are you losing?
I think it's recommended to only lose .5 - 1 lb/week so that is my goal!
What are you eating in a typical day?
I've lost between 1.5-2lbs a week. I had been told no more than 2 lbs should be lost. I am not sure if my supply is dipping or baby gigantor is just nursing more. She is almost 8 months but still nurses every 2-3 hours. She has no teeth yet so she may be nursing from teething.
7:30 I eat low sugar apple cinnamon oatmeal and a glass of cranberry juice for breakfast.
10:30 lunch- low fat peanut butter on whole wheat with a glass of skim choc milk
12:30 5 pretzel sticks (1 serving)
2pm an apple
4pm string cheese
6pm dinner usually chicken with rice or pasta and a veggy
10pm cheerios with skim milk
If I am still hungry I will eat 10 almonds or a granola bar at some point during the day. And have 2 cups of decaf green tea during the day. And I drink about 3 (32oz) bottles of water a day plus my juice and milk.

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!
I am down 1.5lbs this week for a total of 6.5lbs
I really hope I can keep this up. 11lbs to my short term goal and 21 to my long term. I was told it is very hard to lose the last 10 when nursing so I set 2 goals. I would love to get to 165 for the summer. Now if I could just get rid of my belly. Everywhere is looking better but I still have such a flabby belly.
start- 183
week1- 181.5
week 2- 181
week 3- 178
week 4- 176.5

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!
Up this week 2lbs. But I am still swollen, so it might just be water weight. This sucks

Remember water is actually rather heavy. It's 2.2 lbs per liter or 8.3lbs per gallon. So if you have a lot of swelling stay away from the scale  You don't need to make yourself feel even worse over something you have no control over

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!
I'm going to put down .4 for this week, making my total = down 1 lb (pathetic I know, but I'm a nursing mom, so I have to do this slowly!)
I weighed myself Tues, Wed, Thurs and was at the same weight (down .4) but this morning I was at the same weight from last week! Is it okay if I put my Thursday weight? I think it's because I didn't drink nearly enough water yesterday... then drank some late at night/early morning and my body just held onto it...

It also depends on how much milk is in there. I have lost a pound from nursing and pumping  That's the bad thing about a morning weigh in.... full boobies.

That's about 2 lbs a week, which is a perfect rate of weight loss!

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!
DMarieK -
Well done  You are shredding away the pounds and I bet you are super motivated now. I would LOVE a 2 lb weight loss but as I Am nursing I guess I will have to be content with a 1lb weekly loss for now.
Keep it up - you are doing SO well.

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!
Starting weight: 146
Last week: 144.5
Current weight: 141.5!
Lost 3 lbs this week
Lost 4.5 lbs total
I definitely think the South Beach diet is working for me. I'm going to cheat on ONE meal a day the next few days since I have family coming in and some parties to attend. I figure I can be good for breakfast and lunch, but dinners will be out at restaurants. I'm going to try to maintain this weight so that when I start again on Tuesday I am 141.5. That's my goal.

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!
Swelling is now down and weighed myself-down another .6! My total is -3 lbs 12 ozs.
My DD was diagnosed with a milk allergy but on the bright side for me, because of it, I am on a total elimination diet and the GI said this will accelerate weight loss!
I am also going to do the 30 day shred today or swim. I haven't decided yet.
