Ok heres my pts total for this week.
Calium-0pts I just couldnt get it up there where it needed to be
Strength-3 pts
Cardio-(stairs)3 pts
Calorie-1pt
Emotional challenge-1pt
Commitment challenge-1pt
9 pts total
no loss for me this week still sitting at 244.9, sad and a little frustrated but I know that working hard with no loss and no gain is better then doing nothing and gaining it all back! This is my 3rd week in a row without a loss, I know that this happens and eventually I'll get over this hump and have a bigger loss, hopefully this week will be that week!
No change again here too!! It's so frustrating!! You work so hard and nothing!!! (beats head against wall)
Have you taken measurements? If not maybe you should. For the last two months I haven't seem as much change as I would have liked, but when I checked my measurements again there was a big change!
I'll bet your body is changing and it's just not showing up on the scale yet!!!
Keep up the hard work, that damn scale is gonna have to go down soon!!!
I have not measured yet today, I havent measured in weeks actually. Really need to do that, the main reason im not so down on myself is because I have had some changes, like I started out in size 22's and can now get into most 20's and some 18's and be very comfortable so thats pretty big for me. Not seeing the actual pounds drop is extremely frustrating but atleast we're not alone! BTW you look amazing and you are doing an awesome job! Even if the scale doesnt want to agree with us!0 -

This challenge has been a way for me to be even more accountable for what I do/ don't do, eat/ don't eat; it has helped me to focus my efforts & energy in a much more efficient way which in turn has really boosted not only my success but hpw I feel about myself (& when I don't feel too hot about myself, the Teams have been there to support). The Challenge has also just been fun!0 -

I know how you feel: the need to play, enjoy, etc. with food involved but I've discovered that food doesn't have to be connected to your enjoyment of an event
; of course I still struggle (that's life) but I deserve good health & so do you. This may sound "hokey" but don't plan tomorrow to be bad... PLAN it to be a success; and when you say "you gotta live sometimes", I say to you: yes, you do and that is why you joined MFP; to get healthier and live!

Pretty impressed with my calories today, even though I did not workout like I usually do I was still under my calories and carbs. It felt good to rest today, even though I got in some cleaning and things that I know burnt a little, no 700 calorie burn for me today! Still feeling good and even more ready for tomorrow, I need to get back on my normal workout!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend!0
