    I lost half a pound. A little disappointed, but I've had a couple NSV this week that keep me encouraged. I shall share them with you:

    1. Had to go buy a new t-shirt for the Auburn game that was yesterday (War Eagle), and when I picked up the size medium (my "normal" size), I thought it looked a bit big...so I went to the dressing room, tried it on, and found that it was huge! I had to buy a SMALL!!! I haven't fit into a size small t-shirt since freshman year of highschool! Yay! Also, when my family saw me, they said, "Oh my gosh...you look so tiny!" TINY? Haven't heard that word to describe me since I was born!

    2. It's been a while (aka: 2 years) since I calculated my BMI. The last time I checked it was via a BodPod, one of the most accurate ways to measure a BMI...and it told me that I was basically 48% fat. SAD! I checked it the other day via a calculator (granted, not the most accurate way to measure), and found that my new BMI is 28% !!! I'm not longer considered OBESE, but just OVERWEIGHT! Yay! I think it sounds so funny that I'm celebrating being "overweight." Hahaha...

    3. When I realized that I had only lost a half a pound this week, my sweet husband said, "Well I can tell that you're losing inches, you're much easier to hug these days...I can almost wrap my arms around you twice!" Precious.


    SO, all this to say...even if the scale isn't telling me I'm losing pounds, other things in my life are telling me that I'm on the right track to losing inches and being healthy!! Yay!

    Hope this encourages any of you out there that aren't losing POUNDS.... there are other ways to measure your success!

    Thanks Sarah, for putting up the chart! :) It was surprising to see some people lost over 5 lbs the 1st week. I need to go to the gym more this week & eat more veggies this week, so I can lose more than 2 pounds this Friday. :)

    Good luck everyone on the weigh in for this Friday.

    Hey everyone! For those who don't know and haven't heard me ranting on my profile, the new table is up and we lost nearly 50 pounds together! And we still have 12 weeks to go!

    Hope everybody is having a great week! I haven't been exercising as hard this week, but instead focusing on my calorie intake. I'm usually too low, so I've tried to "up" it this week (with healthy foods, of course). The scale will tell in time if my method is working...

    Good luck to everybody!!

    Has anybody tried/seen results from the 30 Day Shred? I just downloaded it tonight (a little late, I know..) and was trying to get some feedback before I give it a go.

    Well it is my Friday and I weigh-in at exactly the same as last week. A little bummed, but I am just going to have to work this week to drop some pounds.

    Weighed in this morning and was SHOCKED! I've lost two pounds since last Friday...I'm down to 150.4 :) I attribute this weight loss to eating my exercise calories..."who'da thunk" that eating more = weight less (for me...I realize that this doesn't work for everybody)!

    Hello

    I weigh my self & I only lost a half a pound, but I am happy I am losing & not gaining. :) I will have to drink more water & exercise more next week, so I can lose more weight. My current weight is now 148.5

    Great job everyone on losing so much weight already! :)

    I actually just started it a few days ago. It really kicked my in pushups. I already knew I couldn't even do a "girly" one without cheating, but just the multiple attempts made my muscle sore for the next two days. However, I am excited to see what results I achieve from it and I have lost a bit of weight since starting (although it may just be coincidence).

    Good luck! :)
