This week's loss: +0.6
Total Loss: -1.8
My weight has been fluctuating a lot this week, and it bounced back up today - although I think that is due largely to the (too much) alcohol I had last night. This week I let myself splurge on things like cake and fries, although for the most part I fit it into my calories for the day. I did go over my calories a few days (including yesterday) but my overall weekly average was still on track.1 -

Why were you successful/unsuccessful last week? Did you stick to your goals?
I feel like I was successful last week even though it's not reflected on the scale. I'm going to start using the weigh-ins from my trainer instead of my home scale, so I'm telling myself that's the reason for increase this week, since I'm wearing shoes, etc when I weigh in at the gym. I stuck to my calorie goals this week and worked out M-F so I'm pretty happy overall! Just hoping to see a drop on the new scale this week.
Do you plan to make any changes this week to what you previously were doing?
Yes, I am going to cut out chocolate for a few days this week as part of another challenge I'm doing on MFP. I'm also logging my exercise calories on here which I haven't done before. It's good in that it reduces my anxiety about going over but it's also really easy to eat back everything I burned in the gym. I'm still deciding if I like logging exercise and if it's a good thing for me so we'll see how this week goes.
Best meal: Chicken and veggies
Worst meal: Ate out a few times this week, but tried to pick the healthiest options
Best snack: carrots
Worst snack: Halloween candy (WHY DO I BUY IT)1 -

.....I went down the candy aisle Saturday night at Albertsons and did a stare down with ALL the yummy goodness. I told those candies not to follow me to register or I’d called the police.
I have a restraining order for them...lol I AM supposed to stay 100 feet away. Ha!1 -
Starting weight: 131 (142 HW) 5'6"
Weigh-in #1: 134
Weigh-in #2: 134
Weigh-in #3: 133
Weigh-in #4: 133
Weigh-in #5: 133.6
#6: 132.9
I did get down to 131 this past week, woot!
Why I was successful: I realized that I like my size and shape a lot better now, six weeks into Strong Curves. I want to reveal a little muscle, since I must have built at least a little! So my mentality kind of shifted to doing a cut. And I stopped eating back any exercise calories.
Did I hit my goals? 5 out of 7 days, yes! My nutrition was pretty good. I made some errors with party food over the weekend.
I could have done better. But I could have done worse! Thanks for the accountability, ladies.4 -

I'm going start a 100 foot rule now, love that!

UGH. So it turns out my gym all of a sudden closed with no warning. I was literally just there last week and they didn’t bother to let me know. I guess they were bought out by Planet Fitness ... so I’m not sure if they are reopening a PF gym at the same location or if I have to switch locations. At any rate, I’m pretty upset!1

Starting weight: 150.1
Weigh-in #1: 148.2
Weigh-in #2: 146.9
Weigh in #3: 144.1
Weigh in #4: 142.8
Weigh in #5: 140.4
Weigh in #6: 139.9
Loss this week: .5 lbs
Total Loss: 10.2 lbs
Goal weight: 132.5 lbs
Goal: to lose: 1.5 per week, total of 18 lbs (by week 6 9 lbs).
As I thought, my loss was only .5 pounds this week. But, I had an unusually high loss last week so I am OK with this. I also increased my calories by 250 calories a day. I want to slowly add back calories to maintenance as I lose this last 7.5 pounds
Why were you successful/unsuccessful last week? I don't think I was super successful, but I stayed under my new calorie goal except last night. Because I had to stay up so late, I ate at maintenance. It is hard to stay up really late and not eat.
Did you stick to your goals last week? Yes, I worked out 5 days. I started LEVEL 3 in the 30 day shred. It is really hard strength wise, but I don't think it has as much cardio as the other levels. So, I started jogging a little. It is so beautiful out at night. I have only hogged two nights. The first night I jogged 1/2 mile and the second night I jogged .6 miles then walked .7 miles with my husband.
Do you plan to make any changes this week to what you previously were doing? No, even though I did not lose much, I am sticking to my new higher calorie goal. I added back a lot more carbs like croutons and potatoes, so that may be part of the reason for such a low loss this week. But, no matter, I am sticking with 250 more calories per day. I am loving the extra food I can eat.
Best meal: Chicken shish-kabobs with teriyaki marinade and green, yellow and red peppers, little potatoes, mushrooms, red onions and grape tomatoes.
Worst meal: Steak, potatoes and vegetables. Only because I was hungry again very quickly.0 -

Why were you successful/unsuccessful last week?
Last week was my rest week from my workouts. I ate ok. I wouldn’t go as far as to say well. It was more like I starved myself all day and ate one giant BAD meal at night. I.e. - I ate an entire pizza one night but I stayed within my calories and same for last night...I had Taco Bell’s $5 deal with a root beer but I really hadn’t eaten all day. I pretty much lost the weight I gained all last month from eating all those sweets from Labor Day and my son’s birthday.
Did you stick to your goals last week?
Definitely not. I really should have took care of my knee better. Just like now...I need to be icing it. I’m really hard headed folks and I literally just push through pain. A wanted to really eat well and focus on that since I wasn’t exercising and I had time to plan better but that didn’t happen.
Do you plan to make any changes this week to what you previously were doing?
This week I have changed up my workouts and preplanned my meals. I should be good to go.
Best meal: yogurt and granola
Worst meal: Pizza Hut & Taco Bell
Best snack: protein bar
Worst snack: skittles and starburst1 -

YES IT IS. This is why I try really hard to go to bed at a reasonable time. It never happens though.

This is why I LOVED Level 3. The cardio in the beginning was killing me. Awesome job on running!

When I’m having a GOOD day I never do this. I mean I don’t do it as part of my routine BUT I’m supposed to be eating 1600 calories a day according to MFP but I increased it by 200 since I’ve been lifting weights so I guess it amounts to the same thing. I guess.
Did I hit my goals? 5 out of 7 days, yes! My nutrition was pretty good. I made some errors with party food over the weekend.

Is your knee still ok since starting back up this week? Any thoughts on an orthopedist visit or PT?
I do that a lot, eat very light all day just go all out on one meal. Accidental OMAD...0 -

My knee is definitely NOT okay. To see a specialist I have to go see my regular dr then get a referral. To go see my dr my husband has to miss work for me to go to my appt. So many layers to get things done for myself so many things go undone.1 -

I just found out last night - and opted for a long walk around the neighborhood instead of trying to figure out all this new gym nonsense. I had brand new leggings on and everything

Excited that I finally made it back to 237 and then dropped below that! But I'm leaving for vacation to Europe tomorrow and I know this number will go back up
I think a lot about how long it takes to get back to "normal" after a vacation or a high calorie day. It doesn't just fall right back off so can be discouraging at times when you're trying to get to your next lowest weight. But I'll get back on track again once I return and will try to be moderate in some meals instead of going all out for every single meal
