    Feb 10 - 177.8
    Feb 17 - 179.8
    Feb 24 - 177.2

    I'm really proud of you!! I am happy your trainer is working out, literally.
    I have to chuckle, I once had a trainer for 6 months and didn't lose a single pound. He couldn't get over that ; he was mystified. I knew that it was my poor eating habits that was dooming these amazing workout benefits.

    @swimmom_1 I usually jus post my weight loss here weekly and don’t linger long… just wanted to say I noticed your 100 lbs loss and then your weekly new lows and am super impressed! Congratulations on the really hard work, dedication and commitment to your health and to doing it the right way _ patiently and not looking for crash diets. Keep going and you will get there (as long as you don’t kill yourself on the Eliptical - or kill the poor eliptical putting it through a 272 minute work out!). My butt muscles are hurting just thinking about it. I am sure the exercise mavens will tell you that an extreme workout if that is not your usual practice could also increase inflammation/water retention, so don’t punish yourself or the training equipment for a yummy sandwich and a momentary blip every 100 lbs or so! You are really doing amazing and the water weight will go away.
