152.3!

I lost a lot of water weight once that TOM ended... it was nice to realize I had still been losing even if it wasn't showing.

I did go over on fiber every day this week so +7 food
But I'm really bad about making myself exercise and only did one day +1

Morning all! Finally found the key to the cupboard so can weigh myself, so checking in at 182.3, which is down 0.5lb. Which is rubbish, but at least I lost, definitely thought it would be a gain week! Happy weekend Ravenclaws x

good morning Ravenclaw!! hate to say this, but after a week off at home i am ready to head back to work on monday. since i like my job and my coworkers, i really don't mind being there!! had some challenging food days at home with more time than usual on my hands. on the other hand, having joined the YMCA and had 2 sessions with the trainer, i feel like i made some good strides in the workout department. got some good workouts in this week. i now feel like i know what i need to do and how to do it. actually looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow. hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Weighing in at 172. Extrememly frustrated with my progress lately. Seems like one step forward and three steps back.

Haha...oh this made my morning.

So....meh. I kinda knew I wasn't going to be excited about this week's weigh-in. I had a really rough start, and then after that, I was just battling back down my weight all week. I'm a little happy to at least see a tiny loss, but I wish I had seen more. From 244.2 last week to 243.8, so only a .4 loss. Oh well. At least it ended lower than it started, right.

Good luck to everyone else in the September EOM home-stretch! We can do it!

Well I had a gain. It was extremely small, almost like the scale not moving at all, but I had a couple of bad days and I KNOW I did. Fortunately I go back to Cycle 1 of the 17 Day Diet tomorrow for a total combined loss of 19 pounds since the beginning of August. I had lost weight every week since then, so I can take this small gain without beating myself up because I know I wasn't as careful with sticking to my diet plan as I should have been this week.

I've been battling the chocolate monster, too, and it has been very foggy. Five days of severe fog warnings this week. I think you have something with that dementor idea

Maybe this explains my unexplained cookie eating this week. I mean, they did have chocolate in them.

NikkiMustang77

I agree with everyone on the chocolate bit. I've been eating some, and I usually NEVER like chocolate ;~;
Will weigh in tomorrow morning once I get to a scale - I'm not home tonight - but for now:

Exercise: 0
Food: 0
Spirit: 4, I believe, with today.

Matchamatcha

Weighing in at 64.8kg. Not a big loss, but something, so I'm happy . I plan to be a lot stricter next week and onwards though. This week has been crazy stressful and I ate accordingly lol. Realised I need to fully commit if I want to reach my Christmas goal of 60kg. It just won't happen otherwise.

Interhouse challenge: 410 exercise minutes this week.

OWLs
Exercise: 0
Food: 5
Spirit: 3 (including today?)

How has everyone's week gone? Hope we're all doing well :flowerforyou:

psb13

happy sunday Ravenclaw!! i was soooo expecting a nice loss today but am sorry to report that i am at 179.8, a 0.6lb GAIN!!!
very disappointed. not sure what the problem is. this week i am working the shift that makes it hard to get my workouts in. have to rethink my plan from the last time i worked it. guess i'll need to be up extra early to be sure to get it in before work. i seriously need to see a loss next week!!!

@psb13 - I read somewhere that when you work out, your muscles retain water to help them heal and that can show as a gain on the scale. I know that you started a new work out routine this week. Maybe your gain is just water retention. Drink lots of water to help flush it from you system and I bet you'll see a drop next week. Just another reason not to rely on the scale to measure your progress! Keep your chin up - you're doing great!

Hello again!

I'm weighing in at 280.0 today and I'm not sure whether that's up or down or sideways but it is what it is. I'm feeling a bit under the weather and after a crazy week at work I'm not that surprised I'm still stuck where I am. I did get some great news, though: I passed the last section of my cpa exam!! So only one more to go!! I'll be IMMENSELY glad to have it done with!

No OWLs or NEWTs or House Points (that's just how crazy and hectic my week's been) but I have not lost hope and am motivated more each day. I've decided on my next study schedule, this time making time for exercise instead of just trying to fit it in. Now, I've just got to beat this cold :P

Cheers to everyone! Keep going strong!

Hey emmee - that is wonderful news about the CPA exam!! Way to go! And good luck on the final round!

More good news - that is a 1.6 pound drop for you!! Good job!

@psb13 - I read somewhere that when you work out, your muscles retain water to help them heal and that can show as a gain on the scale.

I'm glad to hear that, I suspected that might be the case but didn't have any data to back up my theory.

My back is still tender, but not causing problems. I was able to do my squats this morning just fine.

Good afternoon everyone! Sorry I didn't check in yesterday
Ran my first 5K this morning- ran 26m 15s which is ok- somewhere in the middle of the pack. I've never run with other people before so it was different. Learned a few things (don't try to keep up with the crazy muscle marathon runner in the beginning, don't take the cup of water because then I hold it the rest of the way, I need to run more hills). Already signed up for my next one though!!!

Today's Stats:
Exercise (squats): +2 (yesterday and today)
Food (protein): +2 (yesterday and today)
Spirit: +1

Weekly Stats:
OWLS: 5 House points: 86 (30m walk yesterday, 26m run today, 30m walk tonight)

hello ravenclaws! my house/exercise points for this week were sun through sat 411

keep up your great work!

bethanyweathers

I'm plateauing. I'm still 229.5. This sucks. This week was so busy, so I have no idea what my OWLS or quidditch points are either.

At least I'm not gaining weight, right?
