    I just weighed in at 182.2 from 183.2 to start. I wanted 2 lbs but I am glad I at least saw a 1 lb drop! I kinda hate my scale because when I first stepped on it it said 181. I always do it again to check because I just don't trust it, so I stepped back on & it gave me 182.2. I liked the first # better but I always go with the highest! Does anyone else find their scale changing like that? It's a weight watchers scale that I've had for about 5 years...

    Okay, at least I'm not the only one with a scale that messes with your mind! It's so frustrating! I do the same with weighing 3 times & taking the highest. I weighed 183 at the gym yesterday with my workout clothes AND shoes on, & last week at the gym I was like 187 with all that on, so I know I have to be losing something. It's just frustrating not knowing exactly how much :) I will try not to stress over the # & just keep going!

    10469458.png
    Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

    NWGoal - to be able to rollerblade/iceskate

    I believe this is possible due to alot of walking, and loss of extra fluid, from drinking more water, of 10 lbs.. Alot of walking, as I got rid of my car, now have to walk/bike/bus it anywhere and everywhere, til I reach my goal, even then, I am not sure I want to go back to having auto, I can always rent one, if I need to go to far..

    Was having a bit of confusion, when I first signed up for myfitnesspal.com, I put in my CW of 248lbs. Did not log in for a while after that, gained a few lbs., put that in on my CW here on group's page, but, did not register it in, on my home page. So, now my ticker is off by a few pounds. I realise why I did not add my CW at time of ticker's creation ( I was embarassed at the weight gain:embarassed: ) So now my ticker is off, but, maybe I can fix it, to it's correct point. This is what I get for not being all the way honest with myself from beginning.. I have forfeited my claim to a few pounds of loss. :frown:

    I just fixed it! Yay!!!!!! :happy:

    Good Morning! Lost a little this week--knowing I had to weigh in this morning definitely kept me aware of my choices last night when I was out with friends.

    I fell a bit short of my NWG and only fit in two exercise periods, but I did hit the 90 minute mark. I'll plan better this week!

    My scale does that too. It gets me all excited at first but then I step on it again and see that my weight is higher the second time. I usually weigh myself a few times and use the highest number or the number that comes up more than once. This morning at first it said I had lost 4 pounds! Yeah, I wish :/

    So I gained a pound, which is discouraging. But it is really making me look back at the week and see where I could make improvements. For example three days this week I didn't finish logging. And Friday night was just BAD all around. I'm gonna keep working at it though! Hopping to see a loss next week and get back on track.

    Have updated on the spreadsheet, so won't relist my original post but 1.6 lb lost this week which I'm very happy about. Definitely more motivated as it got towards Sunday and I realised everyone would know how I'd done!

    Here's to another good week for us all :)
