    Glad you are seeing success Kathryn! And congrats to everyone else excited about today's weigh-in.

    If anyone is less than thrilled with their results thus week, i can relate! I was expecting it wouldn't be pretty, because while I did great with exercise, I did awful with my diet last week. My measurements are unchanged, and I gained one pound. :(

    I am making a few changes this week, primarily ensuring that I have plenty of veggies around for alternatives when I have snack attacks! Also took on the challenge of logging ALL my intake this week ( going to get a scale so I can check my portion sizes too!)

    I'm back down to 156lbs. Happy! If I keep at this rate, I'll hit around 150lbs in the remaining 7 weeks, which is my goal. My goal is to drop closer to the 20% athlete body fat range. I'm currently at 24%. So I need to lose 7-8 lbs of fat. I'm trying to optimize my fitness for an upcoming century bike race in June and a climb up Kilimanjaro in October 2014.

    My measurements are shrinking (lost 1 inch from each thigh, losing in my waist, bust, etc. in the last 30 days -- I started working out before joining this group). Great example of my progress, I have lost 1.5 inches from each upper arm, but gained serious muscle. When I flex, my bicep is huge! So I'm less focused on weight and more on look/measurements to measure body fat.

    I'm doing Jillian Michaels' workouts and walking a lot. I just finished 30 Day Shred and have noticed a big difference in strength (I can do some decent pushups!) and clothes fitting. My husband and friends have noticed. I started Ripped in 30 yesterday and can feel the workout challenge other parts.

    I have been sick with mono since Feb 1 and just this week am feeling 100%. So I'm hoping to reincorporate my spin classes and long bike rides, as well as hiking. I'm continuing to clean up my diet, which is the biggest challenge.

    Thanks, everyone! Have a good week!

    I have a Tanita scale and calipers but you can do it on line with the navy formula over the internet.

    Thanks, you might have gained 1 lb of just water or lean mass due to so much exercise.

    Congrats to everyone for your loss !!

    Jodi Im right there with you, I didnt lose a thing and Im pretty sure I gained like 0.5 lbs (I didnt weigh in this mornibg since I just got into my period + I ate late last night...) But on sunday morning I was at the same weight of last week which is 52.4 kg or 115.5 lbs... Been doin good at the gym, I went 5 times and did lots of cardio but it seems like I just couldnt stop being hungry all week long... I only ate healthy stuffs tho but still, too much of it. I think its because of this period of the month but uggh its frustrating..


    Oh well ! Hopefully we ll do better nxt week !

    I'm there with Jodi and Sandralyna. I made modifications but not enough. This week my goal is to track everyday, good or bad, busy or not busy.

    So according to my scale I lost no inches and gained 2lbs. So my 'new' starting weight is 142 for week three.

    So glad to see more proof accountability of the group works than not. Happy for everyone's successes!
