    Starting weight 140
    Goal weight 130



    Had a pretty good week, eating on point and intense workouts.

    Current weight: 138lbs.

    I have not seen those kind of numbers in more than 10 years :)

    I feel really pathetic! I worked out four times this week and walked at least 2.5 miles everyday. I ate pretty well. I did have pizza one night, but I only had 2 slices of thin crust veggie pizza. I had Chinese last night, but only ate the vegetables out of the moo goo gai pan and one piece of sesame chicken. My sodium was in check all week and my calories were great. I pushed myself extra hard on the elliptical. Please tell me why my SW was 128.2 and now I am 129.6? I'm so confused! I did everything right. I doubt I gained a pound of muscle in a week, I doubt it was sodium, and I Know I didn't eat 700 calories over matinence everyday.

    Total weight loss: 0
    Total weight gain: 1.4 lbs

    Hey don't be so hard on yourself. Sometimes weird things happen with our bodies! just keep going the way you are and you will soon start to see the rewards and you are eating healthily so your body will thank you for it!

    chin up! :smile:

    So weigh in today. Stayed the same!I am not to concerned as only really started being good on wednesday!

    Weekends are always difficult for me as we always have home made pizza on saturday night and some kind of roast on sundays. I cannot restrain from roast potatoes or home made pizza!
    Hoping for 2lb loss next week!

    Keep up the good work guys!

    I've decided to focus more on toning now, so I may not loose as much as I hope but here's to a firm stomach and great thighs!

    OMG I am melting away and it feels so good!!
    I haven't lost weight like this since I started.

    May 1 st - SW: 136.2
    May 8th - 134lbs!!!
    This week has been a continual loss, I have been weighing every day or every other because I started zig zagging my calories and it must be working. This was my week:
    May 1st - 136.2
    May 3rd - 135.6
    May 5th 135.4
    May 7th - 134.9
    and today 134 right on!

    Total loss this week..........2.2lbs which is absolutely amazing for me since I have been up and down a lot and not seeing progress like this in a long time.

    I have 4lbs left to go to goal! I am so close!!

    Ugh, difficult week--no loss. Too much work, not enough exercise, and I'm not logging calories as regularly as I was before. Here's to a better week next week--and self control today when I go to an elaborate Mother's Day brunch ;-)
