    Hi just checking in with my weight loss. I was 184.5 on the 1st august and today I weighed 180.5, so a 4lbs loss this week, yipee!

    I've walked a lot this last week and did a mini triathalon last monday, an exercise class another night and some toning/strengthening work every day. Most exercise was walking though. I was also more aware of my water and sodium intake. I ate cake and pancakes and some biscuits, but within my calorie allowance. This and my other august challenge has pushed me this week. I'm not going to become complacent though, am gonna work my butt of the whole of august.

    How has everyone else getting on? Hope you've all had a successful week, whether it's weight, measurements or general wellbeing:)

    I unfortunately didn't touch my treadmill this week. I have been feeling sick all week. But I stayed within my carb range, and I lost 1.2lbs this week. From 210.8 to 209.6. :)

    I knew it. Started off last Monday at 174. On Wednesday, I was 171. After my race this weekend and good food, I weighed in at 174 this morning. So 0 loss. I'll get it done. Damn.

    Good morning, everyone. For my first week I've lost 2.6 lbs. Pretty excited about it since it was a harder week than usual. I ate out a lot and found myself hungry after dinner a few times. On the plus side, I walked 10 miles! That's probably more than I've walked in most months previously. :)

    Well, here it is time to check in, and unfortunately I don't think I have helped us reach our goal very much. I love 0.2 pounds this week. I did my exercises. I think I am not eating enough to make up for the exercise, and have put my body into starvation mode or something.

    But am not going to give up. It is another week, and time to look forward not back.

    Good luck to everyone else last week and this upcoming week!

    Hi there!!!! Since I started my weight loss journey at 163 pounds I have lost 30 pounds... and let me tell you it is no easy feat !!!! nevertheless... it is important for you to star focused and keep at it!!!!! I don't believe your body has gone into starvation mode..... it is so much more likely that you have hit a plateau.... after years of dieting I have now learned that it is not about what you eat but about how you live!!!! Weight loss is directly linked to a lifestyle change!!!!! I would be delighted to help you in this journey... please feel free to add me as a friend, and if your food diary is public I would be more than happy to take a look at it and give you a couple of pointers!!!!

    remember .... losing weight is not a sprint it is a marathon so keep at it!!!!

    Checking in, Starting weight was 184 lbs, I am now 183. No excuses but whenever I travel my weight goes up a little being out of my element. I exercised 3 times last week , total miles was 5.25 intermediate. Sodium was under for the week but I still was vacation puffy. Thanks Taz, you are the best.

    Checking in for week 1: I feel short on the pounds this week and I know where I went wrong. My food choices were not the best and it showed on the scale. However I did lose 2 inches off my waist, 2.5 off my chest and one inch of each one of my arms and legs. At least something is moving and I will take a loss any where I can get it,

    Last week I did 10 miles for the week.. mainly because I was told not to exercise last Wed. due to issues with my back. But I did run my first 5K Saturday! woot woot! However, my food intake has been off since going back to work last week.. so I know this year I will be doing a lot more planning for my lunches.. so sad to say- not weight loss yet.. Week 2 must be better.
