    I know I gained, but I have been doing p90x and this is my second week and everyone says that since I am breaking down my muscles that they will retain water, so I gained less than a pound but I have definately been seeing results especially on my stomach!!! As long as I like the way I look, am not worried about the scale!! So I will do what I have been doing and hopefully continue to see more results!!! Hope everyone else has a great weigh in!

    This challenge is helping a lot...I had to go out to eat twice yesterday (once for a meeting with my boss and the other a family dinner). Both went well and knowing I had my weigh in solidified my smart choices. I enjoyed myself but ate smart. Salmon filet on greens for lunch and a small but rich and filling chopped salad for dinner.

    Feeling PMS coming on so next week might not look too pretty, but consistency is the key. I know if I'm plumped with water weight next week that if I keep doing the right things it will be gone by the end of the month and then some.

    I don't mention the 3500 cal challenge because I do a 60 minute bootcamp 5 days a week. I don't own a HRM so I really don't know what I burn. I guesstimate 400 cals. My instructor tells me I'm likely burning 600, but because every day is different and I don't know I guess 400 a day. I also try to do at least one 60 minute elliptical workout a weekend. So for me, I make my goal in minutes. My goal is 360 minutes a week.

    Lost 1 lb this week. Sat burn-600, I burned 1900 yesterday (thought i was going to need an oxygen tank lol, I broke it up into 2 workouts one in am and one in pm) and 1000 a few days ago. This week I consumed too much sodium and I had some water bloat. Campbells soup, I thought I was doing good, no the sodium is like 900 mgs. so bad. My carbs went over a few times. This week I am committed to logging everything into MFP no matter what. So that this week I don't eat something thinking I am doing good on calories and as it turns out I am too high on sodium or carbs. I plan to do south beach phase 1 for the next two weeks to really jump start my body to lose more weight.


    CHALLENGE THIS WEEK: See how easy it was for you to burn 3,500 calories in one week?? NOW TRY, 5,000 calorie burn in the next 7 days. :) Share with us how your doing. And tell us what your reward is going to be once you meet that 5,000 calorie burn. My reward will be a new pair of shoes. :) Good luck everyone!!!

    I am going to shoot for another 10 by the 31st! If I can squeeze in a few more workouts at the gym weather permitting I can do 10 more.

    Exercise and eating right is paying off. I have been exercising already but was not getting a handle on my food. Finally got a handle on the food.

    Thanks you all for your support! Have a good week!! You all are doing great!!!

    So discouraging! I burned 5581 calories this week. A freak snow storm hit Atlanta and shut the town down for the week so I had ample time to exercise...shoveling snow for 4 hours burns a LOT of calories! I stayed under my calorie goal everyday except for one, went over by 1000 but one day I had over 1000 left after calculating exercise calories that I just couldn't eat so it should have equaled out. But instead, I gained!!!

    I don;t think my body can handle 2 weeks of 5000+ calories burned. And I have to go back to work next week. I would definitely not been able to burn so many had I been at work all day every day.

    I was really discouraged this morning when I weighed and hadn't lost anything since Wednesday, but then when I went into record it here I realized that I've still lost a lot this week - I just lost it earlier in the week.
    I have a pretty varied work out routine - some Zumba, walking, stationary bike, stairmaster, elliptical, and other things. I think I'm going hiking today.

    What is your exercise plan?: run on even # days, weights 3x, yoga 1-2x, mountain biking or other different activities once or more per week
    Are you going to do a specific diet?: No "plans' just taking the advice of my doctor and eating what is healthy and as close to the source as possible
    What is your biggest motivation to lose the weight?: I put weight back on last year after an injury and I'm tired of hearing myself complain about finding clothes to wear etc and I can't blame baby weight anymore since the kids are 12 & 16
    :laugh: basically I'm doing it because I want it!

    Oh and my weight as of today January 15th is 228.

    Talk about discouraging. I worked SO hard this week and gained! Ugh. I blame water retention, because I know I had a pretty big calorie deficit.
    But I'm not gonna let it get me down. I will reach my goal by 01.31.11!! Hopefully all my hard work will catch up with me for weigh in next week.

    asltiffm - I know exactly what you mean. I burned 5555 this week and I don't think my body was very fond of the idea lol. I'll be sticking with lower burns in the future. Being snowed in and all that extra time helped to burn all my calories as well. For me, burning that many each week just isn't practical. I'll stick with what I already know works. But it's pretty cool to be able to say I burned that many in a week! :)
