    Goal weight loss this week: 1.5lb = achieved, with a total weight loss for 4 weeks of 5lb. Yes! :) I'm down to (just) under 13 stone (12st 13.8lb), but rounded up for convenience's sake! I'm going to stick with the 1.5lb per week goal, as I've upped my cardio and I think it's paying off. I even had a dodgy weekend foodwise, with a big pizza lunch, beach picnic and a few chocolate fairy cakes with my nephews. I suspect the amount of running around I did with a 3yr old and 6yr old burned off a few extra calories!

    happy to be under 82! Friday and Saturday tricky as we had guests twice. gave in to many temptations but had a good time and with working out I think I managed to stay in control. started to go to the gym before work and that helps a lot. no babysitters needed and excuses are hard to find :)
    I am trying to not only do cardio but also weights and managed to get that done today, hurray! temperatures are getting a bit more normal so the energy level goes up and I move around way more than last week.

    Carbohydrates Important Part of a Healthy Diet

    "Carbohydrate is one of the macronutrients that we need, primarily for energy. While fats and protein are also necessary for energy, they're more of a long-term fuel source, while carbohydrates fulfill the body's most immediate energy needs. "It's your body's first source of energy — that's what it likes to use, why does the body prefer carbs? Specifically because they're easier and faster to break down and use than proteins or fats. So don't deny your body what it needs to keep up with your active lifestyle.

    To get the carbs you need, fill your plate with the best carbohydrate sources for your body:
    •Whole grains like barley, bulgur, buckwheat, quinoa, and oats
    •Whole-wheat and other whole-grain breads
    •Brown rice
    •Whole-wheat pasta
    •Fruits and vegetables
    •Beans, lentils, and dried peas
    •Whole-grain cereals like 100 percent bran

    At the same time, you should also avoid loading up on complex carbohydrates or making them your primary source of calories. A diet too rich in even complex carbohydrates — or in any food — packs more calories into your body, which eventually leads to weight gain.

    I'd like to join as well. I have a heart defect which means I have a lower exercise capacity than most, "compromised" metabolism, and PCOS so I lose weight very slowly. My goal is fairly ambitious for me, but realistic, I think!

    Not exactly 3 lbs but half way there is better than a gain. Need to get my head back in the game this week.... Been having dinner way too late and not being able to work out after!


    Goal for this week to lose will be 5 lbs.... Need to make up for that 1.6 this week and stay focused!

    I'm happy with the loss, but can't really say that I'm sure it will stick right now. We have had a really rough week at our house, a good friend passed away in our home from a tear in his intestine last week, and I found him. For the first time in my life, I am not hungry and don't feel like eating. I am pushing myself to eat, and do it healthily but it's tough.

    Week 5 - I finally bought a new scale for at home. I have been using the one at work and knew it was off but I wasn't sure how much. Adjusting numbers this week.

    6th July: 140
    13th July: 139
    20nd July: 137
    27th July: 133.4 (I would guess it is about a 1 lb change) I did lose more than this but the weekend kicked my butt and I gained some of it back. Weekends are very hard for me! I do really well during the week and then we plan too much on the weekends! Even this upcoming weekend I have an annual cousin get together. Which includes FOOD! Anyone else have weekend troubles?!
    31st July:

    Weight goal for this week: -1 pound
    Weight lost/gained this week: -1 lb

    Non-scale goal for this week: increase water intake. I'd like to reach a goal of drinking 8-16 oz of water each hour this week and then up it next week.

    @LEBP14 I think that there is something to your 1.6 lbs loss. With such a large loss last week your body is adjusting. I would guess that next week you will see a bigger number.

    @catereed13 I am so sorry for your loss! It is hard enough to lose someone close but to be the one to find him! I am sure you are struggling with many things! Your MFP community can be a great support for you! Don't be afraid to lean on us!

    I'm feeling quite down about today's weigh in. I know that I've had a few big weeks, so in the big scheme of things, I'm not doing terrible, but I had the deficit for 2+ pounds and it's just not showing. :(

    Slow and steady wins the race. Fit into a pair of pants this morning that I haven't worn in ages. Down 2 dress sizes since June 16th.

    Need to drink more water. Biggest struggle for me. Ordered a new tumbler yesterday, maybe that will help. Trying to attach a picture of it.51662fsd7z7a.jpg
