    Current weight: 116.8
    Pounds lost since last week: 0.2lbs*

    Yes I am tracking inches as well - I am one inch away from my goal on my waist! Thighs are refusing to budge though!

    *I'm actually pretty happy that I still lost this week - Its finals atm so I like to nibble while I study, been making sure I keep up with workouts though and eating is... okay but not great that'll be back to normal May 27th though - this also gives me hope that maintaining won't be a struggle when I get to that!

    Question of the week: Are you tracking inches too? Always, I love seeing how things are changing, although my clothes are a pretty good indicator too.

    I hope everyone has a great week!! I'm getting re-commited today... nothing but healthy eating, lots of working out and lots of outdoor time in the yard. :D

    Look at all of you girls rockin' it!!!!! And if you don't typically weigh-in on Monday (I'm usually a Thursday/Friday girl) then check-in during the later half of the week, that is fine!

    I also liked someone's idea of posting what workouts you're going to do this week, so I'll post mine!! This is my accountability to GET IT DONE!

    Monday: CLX Lean Circuit 2, Turbo Jam Fat Blaster
    Tuesday: Brazil Butt Lift Bum Bum & Tummy Tuck
    Wednesday: CLX Burn Circuit 1, Burn It Off
    Thursday: Brazil Butt Lift Sculpt and High & Tight (LOL, yes, these names crack me up!)
    Friday: CLX Push Circuit 1
    Saturday: Yoga & gardening
    Sunday: Rest day, but I usually end up working outside in the yard

    Weight: 123.5
    Pounds since last week: 3.5
    Do you track inches? Only my waist on a regular bases. I do have all of my original measurements from weighing 130, and I will take them again once I reach my waist goal, and then I will talk to a trainer on the exercises I should do to build better muscle in the areas that are still flabby (probably mostly my arms because I lose inches from the fet up. Stupid upper arms are always chub).

    WOAH.
    I attribute this huge and unexpected loss to the fact that I weighed 123 about three weeks before I joined MFP, and then I got sick, had finals, ate a TON of crap, and didn't go to the gym, and popped back up to 127-130 over two weeks. My body holds a seriously large amount of water weight for my size.

    Somehow I went up 4 pounds back 158.8 from 154.8. I'm hoping it's a fluke on the scale and everything will be back to normal soon. I had 3 parties this weekend, but only one day over in calories. Went over in fat couple times though :-(. Gnus week must be better!!

    Oh and I did inches at the beginning and will go it at the end.

    Current weight: 149.6

    Pounds lost since last week: Well, last week I was 148. Then I had family over for the weekend so even though I managed to mostly stay under my calorie goal, I ate like crap so I think I'm holding onto some water weight. I hit 150 yesterday but this morning I was back down to 149.6.

    Question of the week: Are you tracking inches too? Yes I took my measurements when I started MFP 2 weeks ago, but since I haven't lost any major weight yet I'm gonna hold off. I'm starting 30DS today so I will most likely take measurements 2 weeks in, and then again at the 30 day mark.

    WORKOUTS THIS WEEK:
    Monday: 30DS + Elliptical
    Tuesday: 30DS
    Wednesday: 30DS + Elliptical
    Thursday: 30DS
    Friday: 30DS + Elliptical
    Saturday: 30DS
    Sunday: REST

    Question of the week: Are you tracking inches too? Yes, every couple weeks. I seemed to gain inches while losing weight this week though so I don't know if I measured in slightly different places or what.

    Workouts for the week: I've unfortunately just come down with a bad sinus infection, so I'm going to take the beginning of the week off and then do my best to get in at least 3 of my C210K runs before it ends.

    This week's check-in:

    Current weight: 127
    Pounds lost since last week: roughly 1
    Question of the week: Are you tracking inches too? Yes. Throughout this process I've been tracking my waist, belly-button waist and hips about once per month. I have seen a dramatic decrease! My waist at my belly-button has gone from 38 inches down to 29 inches since January 4, 2011.
