    Great job ladies! And Rach as always thanks for the chart! I like your plan by the way! Definitely make use of the fitness centre if you're able to!

    The closer I'm getting to my goal weight the more I'm thinking I need to up my calories a bit. Has anyone else tried this?

    The plan for this week is limited boozing - there are so many work related do's this week it's going to play havoc! Lots of water and train 4 times this week.

    Ladies we need to keep this motivation going!!

    Going to finish up week 1 of c25k this week and hopefully get in some kick boxing or something. I just have no energy to do it today, maybe later tonight I'll pep up and get on the treadmill for a while to do my c25k.

    Um, drink some water. I never drink all my water. Blah.

    Yup.

    Yes, I ate more cals the closer I got to my goal. It did really help. On exercise days I just tried to eat most of my exercise cals. Worked for me! Good luck girl!

    Good evening all... Sorry so late checking in, busy day. Weighed in this morning at 189. So stoked to be out of the 190s! It's been almost 2 years since I've been this low. Couldn't be happier.

    This week, I'm going to try to finish strong. I always start the week hard with exercise and taper off at the end. No more than one rest day at a time! Good job ladies! Thanks for the chart Rach.

    Thanks Rach. That average loss per week is interesting!

    I am back at work now and have managed to log all my food, so that's last week's goal achieved.

    My knee is still playing up (did too much too soon- wah!) so I don't want to give myself an exercise goal which will do more harm than good, so this week, I am going to try and remember to eat all my food slowly and mindfully.....

    Thanks Rach for the chart! It's so motivating to see the progress.

    This week's goals are pretty simple: keep doing what I'm doing cuz it seems to be working!

    Thanks Rach for doing the chart - it's looking great everyone :smile: This week I need to keep up the exercise and make sure I eat all of my calories. Have been finding it tough to hit 1400 for the last week.

    Good morning!!
    I have noticed that my Monday weigh-ins are consistently higher than my rest-of-the-week weights. I was 170.6 yesterday, but knew that I had lost inches, so I wasnt THAT upset...just a little annoyed that I hadnt lost anything onthe scale. Well, I weighed in this morning (ever have one of those days where you just FEEL lighter??) and I was 168.4. Thats a 2.2 lb loss overnight :) I mustve just retained water through the weekend?

    So Im weighing in a day late, but I hope youll still have me :)

    current weight: 168.4

    Ive also noticed that I am losing weight the days I eat more :) Such a great feeling!!! When I eat 1200 net, I stay the same. But when I eat 1500-1600 net, I lose the next day :)
  • Goals for this week:

    1. Complete Week 2 of my 30 Day Shred/C25k hybrid (two days done already!)
    2. Drink all water everyday
    3. Only eat 1/2 exercise calories


    So, my body seems to have developed a Kung Fu type grip on this extra weight I've been carrying around for the last two years. I was talking to a friend at work and she said to me, "You're staying within your calories, you're working out consistently, you should be loosing weight. If that was me, I would be down like 10 or 15 pounds by now." And I have to agree with her. I doesn't make sense to me either. Has anyone else ever ran into this problem? I mean, this is more than a plateau. I haven't even started really loosing yet. Just the same couple of pounds back and forth. For months! Even when my work outs aren't consistent, I still maintain a 500 calorie deficit/day. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas??? I'm starting to get a little desperate.
  • Good luck this week eveyone!!!

    My goals this week:

    1. NO MORE GLUTEN!!!
    2. Start training again
    3. Actually make some meals, and don't just eat crackers and cheese for dinner!

    Woo. My loss has already started for the week. Hope I can keep it up! I have a mini goal to be in One-derland by Easter. That's another 24.2lbs in 10 weeks. Impossible? I know it'll be hard but if I can push myself I think I might can do it. If not I'm not going to be disappointed because I'll get there but it'll be something to push myself for!

    hey ladies!

    so i've been in a funk the last few weeks from not losing. i wanted to give up at times, but i didn't. however last week i didn't make the best food decisions which is why i didn't lose. this week, my plan was to kick it up a notch or two and really make sure i was giving it my all in my workouts and my food choices. i went to trader joe's and bought a ton of great foods filled w/ fiber and protein. i was pretty excited to get back into the groove of things and see a good loss... until yesterday morning when i woke up with a sore throat/ chest congestion/ gross cough. i think it may be a case of bronchitis, but i'm really praying it goes away asap. i ended up working out last night pretty hard because i was in denial that i was sick, but it probably wasn't the best idea. i'm going to take it easy today and focus on getting better. what a bummer though, seriously. i'm praying i can see a good loss still next monday! fingers crossed.
  • Do you think its possible to lose 79 lbs or more in a year? Thats my goal for this year so i was wondering if it was possible?

    Congrats on the weight loss everyone!
    My goal for this week: Don't go crazy on Mexican food when I visit Cali. That's it. It's going to be hard enough without any extra goals.
