Week 3 ups and downs

delonda1

So this week I gained weight which I am very dissappointed about because I worked really hard the majority of the week. So I am bummed but I am going 200% full force hoping for a major loss. Gaining weight back doesn't feel good and people telling me its prob muscle doesnt feel good either because I sometimes feel like its an excuse we use. I do enough cardio to balance out my weight lifting. So I am hoping for a major major loss of 3-4lbs this week. I know it is a lot but I believe I can make it happen.

I am so in the same boat. I am annoyed to be honest with you. I wake up early to get a run in 4 days a week...which means pushing kiddos in a stroller to beat the heat, and p90x 6 days a week and I am up a pound. We leave for vacation in 2 weeks and I was hoping for some nice results. Good luck this week, I am hoping for at least a couple pounds lost this next week

No loss for me this week...take a step back...are your clothes fitting better? Does your stomach feel flatter? Do those jeans fit this week when they didn't last week? Sometimes progress is not evident on the scale but in how you look!

It's not all about that blasted scale number...

I'm still heading in the right direction with a net 1 pound loss this week, but had a minor setback with Friday night's dinner. I was also unable to workout the past two weeks with a back injury. Starting tomorrow morning, I am back in action. Workouts start anew.

lost 1.4 this week

Gained 1.5 since last week's weigh-in. I started 30 DS last week, so I'm pretty sure it's water weight from DOMS, but I still don't like to move backward on the weigh-ins. Oh well. I think I need to stick with resting the 2 days before the weigh-in. I lost an inch overall since last Sunday though, so I will stay the course.

I went up 0.2#, but I'm about to throw a party for that! I had a pretty spectacularly bad early week (over my 600 cal on Monday!) and didn't make up nearly enough to even out for the week. Throw in a 2+# gain early in the week and dropping most of that makes me thrilled that I've stayed level for the past four days - especially when you consider yesterday was a cookout at our place.

Just shake it all off, and today starts a whole new week to kick butt

1lb loss for me. Slow and steady.not sure I'll make the 10 but hope at least 8. Good luck everyone

As you know, I'm in the same boat as you. Except I know why I gained weight. It's not fair when someone works as hard as you and then it happens. Maybe it will suddenly come off all at once. I've read that that can happen sometimes...

This challenge is not going near as well as I had hoped, up 2 lbs this week! I am being inconsistent with both my logging and exercise. However I am not giving up!

I stayed the same and I had a good week food & exercise wise. Go figure!

I'm feeling pretty frustrated myself as I have been working hard and exercising, eating right, etc. but have managed to gain about 1.5 pounds since starting. I don't feel like it is muscle because I haven't drastically changed anything in my exercise routine. I will continue to persevere, but my confidence is waning.

this is exactly how i feel... my trainer suggested to a 24hr fast where you drink 30g of amino acids and 3-4 cups of green tea
