Hi Everyone:flowerforyou:

I finally lost some weight after not moving for a month. I am down 2 pounds this week. Since I don't have much more to lose I've noticed what works for me is the 2 snacks in between the main meals and also doing the zig zag, so if I go over my calories one day I try to be under the next and so on. Its working for me. Hopefully it will keep on working, if not I will have to get more creative.

Have a great day everyone.

tanya...congrats on the 2 pound loss:flowerforyou: i agree with you in the fact that because we don't have much to go it's really going to come of slowly! i still have a number in my head as far as weight goes but i am also trying to focus on measurements. i think this will be a good way to put it all in perspective. i am taking the measurements about every 2nd or 3rd weigh in.

i am trying to get motivated to go walk!!! i am just having a slow start to the day but am off so i will definitely get it in. hope everyone has a great day!!

Gained another pound, pretty clearly not going to reach 200 pounds even by Halloween.

Not really trying to lose weight right now. I'm lifting heavy, supplementing protein, doing cardio. Eating a 500 calorie a day deficit, so I should be losing a pound a week - but no, I'm gaining muscle mass and a little bit of weight. Now seeing my abs for the first time in about a quarter century.

"I do realize that this violates the laws of physics - but you see, I never studied law!"
<<Bugs Bunny>>

I'm happy with it though, I'm feeling great. Making excellent progress. When i started lifting a few months ago I loaded my dumbells up with 20 pounds, then 25, then I had to go buy more iron to get to 30, then 35, just bought iron again to get them to 40 and it's just enough, probably go 45 next week. It's way cool. Need to measure bodyfat % again. :laugh:

WOOOO!!! Go Tough Guy! :flowerforyou:
That's great you're adding weight and building muscle.
Seeing some abs instead of weight loss is a pretty good trade??? :bigsmile:

Checking in... no change for me this week. :grumble:
Last week 172 lbs
This week 172 lbs
Halloween goal 11 lbs (167 lbs)
5 more to go!!!

sixtyinchesoffury

ok now a two pound GAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is very frustrating....

does anyone else's weight fluctuate this much????????????

i was looking at my log and it really seems to move up and down over and over then will move to another category and do the same ( such as hover around 144-146 then 142-144)

just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this???

skywalker

amcclure,
I've been having a similar issue, but I've been stuck in the 170s for what seems like forever. I lose a lb then nothing for a week or so, then maybe 2 lbs if I'm lucky, then nothing. I'm trying to step my cardio back up this week and see if I can finally break into the 160s. Over the whole month of September, I only lost 4 lbs. I'm shooting for 6 through October, so I'm adding 2 lbs to my previous goal. Maybe that will kick my butt into gear.

New Halloween goal 165!! 7 more to go!!!

Hang in there, amcclure!! :drinker:

kath711

Checking in, down 1 pound, yeah!!

sixtyinchesoffury

hey sky....thanks! it's comforting to know i'm not alone :happy:

i swear my attitude fluctuates as much as my weight ....uuuggggghhhhh :grumble:

i feel good today but geez i just want to get a consistent feeling

at least i have you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck today everyone :flowerforyou:

tanya7712

I gained a pound this week. Amcclure, I am in the same boat as you. I either don't move, move a little or gain. Hopefully we'll loose more soon.

Jovialation

I FIGURED OUT A COSTUME!

sixtyinchesoffury

Jovi i like your costume idea!!! she's so cute every show!!!

just wanted to say hi. i have been drifting lately and i am really getting down on myself about it!


what do you do when you aren't going to make a goal??? i set one for 135 by Halloween and i know

that's not going to happen. any thoughts or suggestions??? ok halloween friends i won't give up on

me if you won't :flowerforyou:

Jovialation

When you know youre not going to make your original goal, start a new one!
Maybe a size or a waist measurement.
I doubt Ill be able to drop another pants size by halloween, but having a goal was a real good motivator at least!

And thanks, Im gonna have a ton of details in my costume too lol
