Hi all.
Short post this week. Had some good on-scale success, but struggled all week with the psychological part of this journey. Found out some distressing news about some of my students, had several long days at work, didn't exercise as much as I wanted and got my period, which all added up to wanting to have huge carb binges. Luckily, I've been able to restrict these to 2-3 days this week, but I'm planning my food diary ahead for this week so I know exactly what I need to take out of the freezer every night to plan ahead. Must stop the starch cravings! Right now, the scale says 'yay!' but my head says 'nay', so I need to push through this.
SW: 125.0kg
LWW: 120.5
CW: 119.5kg
Loss this week: 1kg
Total loss (90 day challenge): 5.5kg
Total loss (since 28th Dec, 2013): 11.5kg
No photos this week, guys. Will post again next week. For the moment, napping is the order of the day. Hope everyone else had a good week! xx

Coolchick, sorry you had a rough week, but it sounds like you're handling it the best you can.
SW: 228

No change this week, but I had a large loss last week and I think there may be some hormonal mischief going on. I've felt "off" this week; I bumped up my weight in my Bodypump class on Monday, and it's made my body feel very tired and sore in the "oh I pushed myself too much there" way. And there was the night I just started crying to my fiancé about how I'm frustrated none of my clothes fit right and I don't feel good in anything I own (oh yeah, the crazy hormones are here). Plus building stress in my school/work situation.
NSVs: Got a few new items in a smaller size, discovered jeans in my closet from 3 years ago (my "skinny" 200lb days) that I fit into, bought a belt so no more hiking up pants every single time I move, and I took some measurements (official measurement day is 1st of month) and there is definite positive change. So even though this has felt like a terrible week, there is plenty to be proud of.
Hope everyone else had a decent week!0 -
Congrats on the losses ladies. Sorry you had a rough week coolchick, I hope this week is much better! We had some distressing news in our classroom as well and I'm worrying about the fallout from that this next week.
On to my stats:

LW: 169
CW: 168
CGW: 160
UGW: 145-140

LW: 230.2 - 02/02
231.2 - 02/16
CW: 233.2 - +2 this week

I'm down for the count. I truly hate being under the weather. I'll continue to log because I don't want to ruin my streak. Can't wait to get better.
I've got 13.2 lbs to reach my goal and 5 weeks left in the challenge.0 -
Congrats to everyone with their losses! Keep up the good work!0

Hang in there, ladies! Don't let the emotions (hormonally induced or otherwise) drive your actions. You can do this and get through this! Mel - get well soon!
I'm pleased with my week. Only a small loss, but that means I was still very successful in navigating two major food events is week. (That said, I'm going to be well over goal today, but that's post-weigh-in!
)

Keep on keeping on for those who had a rough week! Whether it was a gain or maintaining, you're still in the game! You show up every week, and that's the important thing to take away from this.
Congrats to those who lost!0 -
SW: 203.5
CW: 194.7
GW: 191.5
Loss so far: 8.8 lbs.
I didn't think last week was going to be that great, but it turned out pretty well! This week starts a more active schedule, so we'll see how that affects things. Gotta keep powering through. I'm really starting to see a difference in my body. My clothes are starting to fit better, and it makes me want to keep going so come May when it's warm I'll be able to wear my cute size smaller shorts.
I'm proud of myself that even though I have a crazy schedule right now I am making time to feed my body wisely and get it moving most days. I know the old me (even the me a few months back) would have said, "I'll focus on this stuff later when I have more time." Well, I made time!
I can't stress how much this group motivates me every week. I may not be able to reply to everyone's entries, but I do read them. Y'all are doing so well staying positive and kicking *kitten*.

Checkin from Saturday morning:
SW when I joined MFP: 264
CW: 240.9 (down 1.6…this puts me 1 pound away from where I was two weeks ago. Considering I didn’t feel well enough [back problem] to do ANY exercise for most of the week, I’m happy)
GW for the 90 days: 235
FGW: 150 (*or* 160-170 if it's muscular/toned...I'll revisit this when I get a lot closer to goal...)
BMI: 36.5 (down .2)
BF%: 35.5% (down .2%)
I failed to track most of the week as well so I won't consider how I did on goals since I'm honestly unsure about #1 and couldn't do 2 or 3 except a day or two.
Here's hoping for a strong final week in February...0 -
Honestly I am just here at this point!!!! I know I probably..gained.. dont even want to go near the scale..but I shall push until the very end...March is around the corner and i am looking forward to a fresher start...so no changes that I am willing to look at this time..so if you wont tell..neither will I!0

Congrats on all the losses. Sorry to hear some of you and Cool chick had a rough week. I am not travelling for work this week and its so much easier to diet! I did a smoothie fast Monday and increased my water intake. Have been good at getting to gym this week.

Still idling at 210 ~ I couldn't resist all those crunchy things that are bad for us! I have some serious dental work next week and will be on a soft food diet for about two weeks so my resistance was pretty low. It'll be a challenge not to fall too far under my daily calorie goal. No excuse to eat soft-serve ice cream :ohwell:0
