AGH I was at 128 all week, and then yesterday we ate all the sodium-laden things over at my mother-in-law's house. I woke up so swollen I could barely get my rings on. Hopefully that comes right back off, this is not a good feeling!0 -

I was actually down to 156.2 almost all week then a big, hearty meal yesterday for Mother's Day with big desserts brought me up to 158. *sighs* Maybe, I should start weighing myself every Friday!

I'm tightening up my calories. I was on 1lb/week in April at 1640 calories/day. Now I've set my goal to 1.5lb/week at 1380 (1400-ish is more realistic). I've been doing a strength training program (Body Sculpting Bible for Women, 3x per week with weights) and adding even more cardio. I was doing 1 spin class per week, walking 3-4 days a week, and playing Just Dance once a week (ish) if the weather was icky.
For May, my goal is to continue with the Body Sculpting program with heavier weights, add at least one more spin class per week, and add running intervals to my walks. I want to burn at least 3500 calories per week (that's one pound!) so I can reach 163-164 by the end of the month.
Edit: Although, "If every day were like today, I'd weight 153.2 lbs in 5 weeks"! I'd LOVE to make that happen, lol.1 -

So excited to break my plateau! Only I totally went overboard and ate too much at a party at work! Pizza, BBQ, cookies, and ice cream cake... Totally kicking myself now
I feel like I gained 10 pounds.
Hopefully any gain will be temporary. Anyone else done this?0 -

Close to my goal for the month, but not holding my breath that it will stick.... It has been a rough week. I'll keep putting in the work. If I can get lower, I'm all for that!

I'm late, but so glad this group has restarted. I'm a super slow loser, and if not accountable, the weight will creep back on.0 -

I am joining late but would still like to jump on board to stay accountable. Hubby and I started a challenge so this community keeps me focused in losing 2 lbs in May for that challenge and hoping to come close to this one. Good Luck!

Back down from my sushi night, but no more losses this week. May and June are rough months for staying on track, I have a birthday party or family event every weekend from Mother's Day until the 4th of July. I hope I can stay on track! I really want to reach my goal final goal by the end of June, (my 33rd birthday.)

My scale broke and I refuse to buy another one right now so I'll go by how my favorite jeans fit (or not!). Based on that, I haven't lost ANY weight in the past 10 days. Discovering the most delicious GF/DF snack bar last week definitely has NOT helped!
Does anyone else depend mostly upon body weight exercises for building muscle?0 -

I've changed my goal weight from 120 to 125. I'm planning a recomp-type program once I'm at goal, and I don't think I would have enough body fat at 120 to make it worth the effort--I'd probably end up having to add 5 lbs of muscle anyway, and I'd rather not lose the weight only to have to put it back on.
My point is, now that I've changed my goal, I'M ONLY 2.8 LBS AWAY!!!2 -

I'm quite proud that I was able to maintain my weight over long weekend considering how much food that I ate! I attribute that to a good hike in the bush and a fair bit of walking.

A lot of water over the past weekend due to extreme hot weather so I think some of it was water weight. However, I have lost 1 inch over all this month so I can't complain!1 -

Still sticking to my "diet" but no loss for me. I'm ok with that for now. I can see better definition in my arms and legs. Muscle fat % has dropped on my scale, so I think I am moving in the right direction...0 -

Sorry. I don't. I have a barbell (40lbs) and free weights. I also have a weight machine, but use it mostly for leg extensions and kickbacks, and lateral pull downs...0 -
