    I'm doing great on the exercise, and staying under my calories, and drinking my water. For whatever reason, I have been famished pretty much all week and so I've been eating pretty much all of my calories available, but also not losing. That part is getting frustrating. I want to see 159 so bad I can taste it. I keep envisioning the number on the scale dropping, but it isn't. I've been flirting with it for 3 weeks now and I think it ought to appear anytime now.

    Forcing myself to have patience. Also thinking about starting 30 Day Shred again or 6 Week 6 Pack to see if that kick starts me into the 150s. I think if it doesn't move by Monday, I will. Something has got to give, and it isn't going to be my resolve! :)

    Hope everyone has a great weekend! I have my 5-mile run tentatively planned (I'm not going to push it if I'm not feeling it, but I tested the waters on Wednesday and went 4.35 and could've gone further if it wasn't pitch black outside) for tomorrow and then I'm looking forward to a lazy day on Sunday again.

    Alright... here's my week:

    Monday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK.
    Tuesday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK.
    Wednesday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK. Weigh in: 161.5
    Thursday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK.
    Friday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK.
    Saturday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK. Ran 5 miles for bonus point. Also completed all 100 of the high plank to low plank (actually 120 because I did 20 each day for the 5 days). I don't know if there's a bonus point for that, but thought I'd share.
    Sunday: Off day. Should be able to keep up with food/water.

    Woohoo! Weigh in this morning puts me at 160.5 - I had gone into maintenance to get through this chronic fatigue episode induced by my son's illness that had me up 2 nights (still fussing with it a bit, but I don't feel like I need to take a nap after being out of bed for an hour like I did yesterday). Now I'm down in weight! Woohoo!

    Hello everyone. My name is Melanie and I'm joining for October. I fell off the workout wagon after getting LASEK and then a 700 mile move. Since getting settled, I've lost what I gained and then some. I'm always up for a challenge and excited to start. I'm a SAHM of a 9 1/2 girl and 2 1/2 year old boy. My husband also works from home. We moved from the suburbs of Detroit to the country of New Hampshire. I'm still getting used to it. Okay...I'm ready to go.
