    I maintained this week 198.5.

    Maintain is better than a gain Laura! It means you had to do some things good for sure because you did not gain. Keep up the good work!

    Good attitude Lee! You are doing very good. Unfornantely the smaller you get the more you have to do to drop those pounds. You are fitter so you body is not burning the same amount of calories it used to at your higher weights. Just hang in there and ride it out! Good job!

    This is so true! I notice that I'm not even burning the same amount of calories doing the same activities that I used to do. I used to burn about 100 more calories doing zumba. And I can't really kick up my intensity anymore. Not to mention the fact that I'm supposed to be "taking it easy" while my knee heals. But I am being very stubborn.

    PS: I love your quote in your sig!

    Be easy on the knee if doctors orders. It is better to be able to something than nothing for sure. When knee is better you may want to try interval training at the gym on cardio machine of choice 3 to 4 times a week. My knees are not good either so I do good interval training sessions on the stationery bike 2 times a week and I do the ellipitcal 1 to 2 times a week when I get my butt to the gym. Lately that has been harder than a notion and now I am sick too. But I am still fighting to get to the healthclub 3 times one of these good old weeks, if not I will stick with good old reliabel Leslie Sansone.

    Thanks on sig quote, I stole it from someone else but I did this because I have to remind myself of this everyday and it is definitely appropiate for me.

    Not much of a loss but I will take it. At the risk of sounding incredibly stupid, I cannot seem to list my weight on the new spreadsheet. I will not allow me to key #'s in the box so... hopefully it will get updated from here.

    I worked out a lot last week and was discouraged that the scale did not reflect my hard work. I hope I will have greater success this week but still don't like the inconsistancy. With only 6.5 weeks left in the challenge I feel like I really need to turn it up. Additionally my 1st 5K is on May 28th and it's not going to run itself!! :wink: Wishing everyone success!

    I had something wonderful happen this morning!!!! I put on my shorts from last summer because it was going to be in the 80's by me.....and to my surprise my shorts were too big!!! They were size 22 which is the biggest size I have been in...I will be hunting in my closet soon to see what smaller sizes I have....I am thinking I need 18's....I know I have multiple sizes in there just not sure if it will be the right season.... I have been feeling that I am struggling but today I got to see the good in what I am working on and it felt great!!!!!

    Have a good week everybody!!!!

    Good for you! That is always a good feeling....putting clothes on, and they are to big!! Congrats ; )

TTOM came for me today so im praying it wont mess me up for Friday but I feel more motivated then ever and am ready to RUN and not WALK the rest of this journey!!

    Just curious . . . I've been putting my weight on the input page for the spreadsheet each week, but for some reason, I'm not listed on the new spreadsheet. Haven't been posting much due to my work schedule, but really have been logging in my weight every week. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas???

    I weighed this morning since I will be out of town for four days. I'd rather have a long weigh week then a short one :)

    Could someone please post for me tomorrow.

    Current weight 147.2

    I only have 12 more pounds to my goal weight. I think I may adjust that a few more pounds when I get there. Havent been 135 in so long I cant remember what it feels like!! Good luck everyone!!
