This is a total from the last four weeks I think! Have been on holiday for three so i'm so pleased that i actually managed to lose weight!! although i was careful compared to 'the old me', i didn't feel like i missed out when i was away with my fam - we ate out most nights but did lots of exercise- walking, kayaking, cycling etc!

Good luck today everyone! Hope you're all enjoying the summer and meeting your weight loss/ measurement targets

Woo hoo!! My daughter just started soccer, so I will get at least 2 hours of walking in 3 times a week!! Also, I am supposed to be at my next mini goal on 9/2 and I am on track! I am soooooo excited. If... no when I make it, I am going to rock out on 9/2 (going to a concert helps!!!)

Good luck everyone!!!

Down 2.2 pounds since last weigh in, which is awesome, since I've been slightly off-track this week.

I was down 2.2 lbs bringing me to 8 lbs total. I go on vacation next week and won't have a scale so I won't be updating until the week after.. which is kind of a good thing because it will give me a few days to try and undo the vacay damage :laugh:

I started my diet Monday. I was weighing in at 149-150. I have been doing really well on my diet! ( I usually don't get past the first day. I am now on day 4 of just eating healthier and exercising more.

Starting Weight-150
Goal Weight-125

Current Weight-145 ( -5lb) :):)

Everyone is doing such a great job! Love to see my Thursday peeps working hard and getting results! :drinker:

Last week's weight: 186.6
This week's weight: 188.0

Yuck! My exercise (or the lack thereof) is killing me. I get in a little here and there but it has not been what it should. My motivation is faltering and my habit of hitting the scale EVERY, SINGLE MORNING is not helping me at all. It will get better, I promise ME!

Hay everyone!

So I stayed the same this week and I am relieved. I've been traveling all week so my whole workout and food was all messed up. I'm home now so I'm making sure I back on track today.

I hope everyone had a great week!

I've been too afraid to weigh in this week :-(
I have been trying really hard and exercising loads but I just know it's not making a difference and don't want to see thatconfirmed on the scales.
I've been going for just over 2 months now and have lost 3lb (although this has probably come back on).
I only wanted to loose 14lb in total but I'm finding this so hard :-( feeling sad :-(

@rachel, hang in there. You might want to consult with a professional about how to set your goals. Any other positive changes due to the exercise?? Try not to get discouraged. :flowerforyou:

rachel2011

Thanks Lisa. I was feeling a bit down but am determined to keep on going.
Yes, I have seen other changes I suppose - my clothes definately feel a little looser and I have been doing a fair bit of weight work as well as cardio so I've got little (probably no one else would notice but I'm sure they are there!) arm muscles which are new and I guess my leg muscles must have toned a bit. I know that muscle weighs more than fat so I must remind myself of this when I'm on those horrible scales!...
I am going to get back into the Thursday weigh in this week and keep reminding myself how much healthier I must be overall which is what really matters in the long run.
Thanks so much and good luck with your weigh in this week
:-) xx

Hey darlings, I'm skipping the weekly weigh-in on Thursday, as I'll be having a medical procedure, and will be fasting for a full day tomorrow. I'll be back next week for the weigh in. Just wanted to offer my encouragement and support to those who might not lose as much as they'd like this week, and my congrats to those who do! Have a fabulous week, and be healthy!:flowerforyou:

July 1 172.5 --- up 1 pound?? hoping it's just sodium retention. I had hamburger last night and the day before that chocolate cake. I'm hoping the 1 pound will be off soon, but I need to get to 170 to reach my mini goal 1.
[/quote


July 22 210= 173.0 up 1.5 pound but it is TOM for me, so I'm not worried too much. I have been working hard as of Monday July 19 with my diet. I have been strict on it. I started not to weigh in because it is TOM but at least this way, when I way in next Thursday I should be able to see some good progress as long as I keep my diet up.

Aug.26, 2010 - I haven't weighed in, in a while- Had taken a break from exercise and dieting. so now i'm back. my weight today is 174.5. I've been working out all this week and will continue. we'll see what happens for next week.

Last weigh-in: 134.9

Down 1.3 pounds from last week! :drinker:
Still can't believe I went from 127 to exceeding my starting weight! But that's in the past now...
Very happy about my weigh in tho that I've been pretty consistent within the past week and a half so I think I'm back on the right track...finally. I will be at my in-laws this weekend so hopefully I can keep this up! I'm bringing my wheat toast and peach butter and maybe a few other of my go-to healthy snacks...hope they don't mind :embarassed:

Thank you all for your continued support and motivation. Everytime I look at my news feed and see you all's workouts and being under your calorie goal it sparks a fire in me somehow....yesterday I worked from home and normally use that as an excuse not to work out (since I work out on my lunch break normally when I'm in the office) but I did some weights and pilates while watching Real World last night and I felt GREAT afterwards! Thanks again ladies :flowerforyou:

Hi girls, I would like to join your newbie group ... i only started 2 weeks ago ... not sure what date but happy to make Thursday my weigh in. In the 2 weeks so far i haven't lost any weight on the scales but i have lost inches at my waist and hips so something is happening. I need to get more serious about it though. Feel so lazy and unmotivated. But thats part of having polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin resistance makes you feel lethargic. so i need to boot myself up the bottom to get going.

i am in Australia and we work in kilograms so i have to work out how to convert kilos to pounds so we know what we are talking about.

I am 46 with PCOS as i said before, arthritis and permanent spinal damage so live with chronic pain.

I also have 4 kids; but 3 of them are all grown ... my boys are 27, 19 and 14. But i now have a baby girl who is 2. Big surprise, ha ha ... but so precious to all of us we love her to bits. but the bigger she gets the more my back hurts/

I am not completely lazy though ... i walk the dog 2 to 3 times a week depending on my back pain. I teach belly dancing twice a week and soon will be doing 3 classes a week. Plus i practice at home. i cannot walk up or down hills and cannot do aerobic exercise without setting off my back pain ... but i can belly dance ... so that is my main exercise. dancing 3 times a week isnt enough to shift the weight but when i was dancing daily i was seeing loss.

aaliyahbellydancer

i will have to work out how to find you girls again too

amymariebug

Well, I gained a lb. but I will say that I haven't been watching what I eat to much..I worked all weekend and stayed at my inlaws so I kinda slipped....But I am back on track and hopefully next week is better:)

I had this happen to me too. I was not eating my excersize calories and I guess my body thought I was trying to starve it so it held on to all my weight. I also ended up having to change my kind of activity. My body had just gotten use to doing the eliptical.

I hope this helps you.

I have finally stopped weighing myself so obsessively on a daily basis. It gets very temping in the mornings, but I don't do it. I have been working out on a daily basis and have only loss 0.8 pounds. That is a bit discouraging but at least it is not a gain. I will continue on working out. You ladies have a wonderfully blessed day as well as an awesome rest of the week through the weekend. See you back here next Thursday!! :flowerforyou:

Okay so I did my weight in and I'm up 2.4 lbs. I'm a little crushed but who knows next week might be great.

Hope everyone had a great week!

CW: 324.9 (-0.5)

I did weigh yesterday (results as above) but didn't log it in until today. I will take it.

congrats to all of the losers and keep your head held high to those that didn't lose this week.

Happy Friday and good luck!

rachel2011

Hsquared87, thanks for your note. Changing the types of exercise might be a good idea actually - maybe that will help kick start it again a bit?? New week now though and I feel positive. Sorry about your gain this week but keep on in there. I find logging on here really helps - I guess it's something to do with being accountable for our actions that makes us more aware of them?? Have a good week and good luck on Thursday!

Welcome to all the new people!!! You will love this site and this group!! I've been super busy with things and haven't had much time to come on let alone post. Plus it doesn't help when I don't get any emails that someone has posted. Does anyone get emails about this thread?

I was doing so well with logging my food and exercise but lately with my work hours I've been finding it hard to do it. I'm hoping after Labor Day things will slow down for me and I can focus on exercising more and logging my food. I also have to STOP baking!!

SW: 141 lbs
GW: 125 lbs
CW: 137.8 lbs I need to burn more calories!! Hoping to get a gym membership in the fall.

rachel2011

AnnabelleM, I don't think you can get email alerts when someone posts? - I had a look for this function too and couldn't find it.

Welcome to all the people! - I hope everyone has a good weigh in tomorrow :-)

Really couldn't face going to the gym after work tonight but after reading everyone's positive notes and good progress I'm actually really wanting to go now!! I love this site!! Thank you to all the MFP peeps!

Hi all! I joined last Thursday, thus will be weighing in on Thurs and would love to be part of your group. I'll check back in with my results tomorrow.

rachel2011

Hi all and welcome Krysta150!

I have been reading the blog at the following: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/ladyofivy/view/-what-an-amazing-loss-what-worked-for-me-37914. There's about 2 dozen little articles and they are a mix of funny and inspirational. I printed a few off last night and read them whilst on the treadmill, 50 mins flew by.

Sooo.....I guess coz I'm a Brit I had the 'first' weigh in this morning...and it was good news -0.10lb, okay so not loads at all but I figure muscle weighs more blah blah and I'm feeling good about myself and can see I'm a bit more toned.

Good luck with everyone's weigh in today but if it's not good news just use the motivation to get you through the next week.
