Successes: I felt stupid on the weird new type of stair stepper my gym has so I stepped off it. But istead of walking away I YouTube'd the proper way to use it and finished what I wanted to do.
Struggles: I binged like a mooffo over the weekend after I weighed in last week, so I bounced back up to a bloated 232 by Monday. I spent all week fighting cravings trying to stay within any deficit at all. Oops. :P
Oh well! ~10 lbs in the shortest month is good. =]

Successes: I admit when I signed up for this thread a month ago I really didn't think I would have been able to lose the 10 lbs my MFP/Fitbit apps said I would. I've been been struggling to lose weight my entire life, yo-yo'd and waited for some miracle pill to be discovered. However, inspired by the threads I've read here I thought "why not"? And put myself out out here to be scrutinized. I'm so glad it did. I not only lost the 10 but ended up with 12.8! So elated. I'm also amazed at how easy it was. Thank you MFP community.
Struggles: I've learned that Friday's are usually bad for me for social eating and so it's become my cheat day. It's still nowhere near what it was like in my old days as cheat now means I eat a slice of veggie pizza or chicken pasta vs and entire pepperoni pizza or XL sausage penne. I no longer seem to desire the old unhealthy foods and love my newfound health.
I'm looking forward to the March thread!

Struggles or successes of your week: chocolate and going over on calories (however, over for the week would have AT MOST added 1.5 pounds, how on earth did I add SEVEN?!?!?)
after three weeks of getting up at 4 am to cross train with cardio, abs, and decent (8#) weights, I feel like a different person than I did when we started. I feel stronger, way more confident, and generally more optimistic. It is frustrating that I am the kind of person that builds muscle quickly (and lose it quickly) so that I don't notice a huge scale change when I stop working out, but when I get back into it I always see plateaus and increases. I KNOW that muscle weighs more than fat and has less volume, so I KNOW that these are positive signs of my body changing, but the reports and groups are designed around losing pounds which I still have not done.
I know there are areas in which to improve. I'm not kidding myself on that.
Also remember if your adding muscle it is leaner do you'll notice your difference in inches and clothing size dropping. Keep up the good work.0 -
