3 pounds in 8 weeks? What the flip?????
I've had 3 solid "good" weeks (a gold star in my planner for each day) so what's up with this?!?!?!?!?
Three pounds is better than none at all. What are you doing to lose the weight? Are you exercising everyday? What are you eating? Every little thing makes a difference. Give yourself some credit. At least you are losing. :bigsmile:0 -
Updating for the week.
Start Date July 15 Starting weight 303
Week 1 July 22 - 300.4 down 2.6 I'll take it!
Week 2 July 29 – 300.4 No loss but after camping last weekend I’m surprised I didn’t gain. Hopefully next week will show a loss.
Week 3 August 5 - 299.6 -.8 lost really been struggling. Still trying though.
Week 4 August 12 – 296 -3.6 woohoo!!!!!
Week 5 August 19 – 293.8 -2.2 Yeah! I didn’t blow it on my camping trip last weekend.
Week 6 August 26 – 292.3 -1.5 Woo hoo! Might make it to my goal next week! I sure hope so! Total of 10.7 lost since we started.
Week 7 September 2 Labor Day is Monday - hope to be @ 290 by today. 291.4 lost .9 this week and didn’t make my goal:sad: Oh well, there’s always next week.
Week 8 September 9 – 287.2 -4.2 lost Woo hoo! I’m only a few days late but I’m definitely below 290 now.
Week 9 September 16
Week 10 September 23
Week 11 September 30 Eli’s birthday – shooting for 280 (will be happy with 285 though)
I guess working a second job that keeps me on my feet has helped a bit. I pulled 25 hours there over the holiday weekend and it apparently paid off. Let's hope it continues.
That is awesome, keep up the great work. :bigsmile:0 -
Start Date July 15
Week 1 July 22 Starting Weight 150
Week 2 July 29 no loss...had a bad week. Time to get serious
Week 3 August 5 149.8 I did so good so not sure why the weight isn't coming off.
Week 4 August 12 147.8 (-2 pounds! woohoo)
Week 5 August 19 148 (+ 0.2 pounds) not surprising...I wasn't very good this past weekend. glad it wasn't more of a gain. 148 (no gain, no loss...I got the 2 pounds from the weekend off!!)
Week 6 August 26 I forgot to log my weigh...
Week 7 September 2 146.8 (-1.2 from last weigh in and down 3.2 since starting)
Week 8 September 9 146 (-0.8 and -4 total) I really need to change things up...this is going slow
4 pounds is better than none at all. Sometimes it takes longer for others to lose. You might switch up your exercise and confuse your body. That will help burn more calories. Keep up the great work. :bigsmile:0 -

Start Date July 15 Starting weight 177.2
Week 1 July 22 177.6 (up 0.4 too many treats while camping!)
Week 2 July 29 174.9 one mini goal down!
Week 3 August 5 175.5 TOM and salt--I hate salt!
Week 4 August 12 174.8 A little better but not what I had hoped for.
Week 5 August 19 174 surprising with all the junk I ate this weekend.
Week 6 August 26 172.6 Very acceptable!
Week 7 September 2 175.6 Ate way too much junk!
Week 8 September 9 173.7 filling up with fiber helps!
I am starting to see a trend-- maybe all the junk needs to get booted out of the house!! I went through a time where I was constantly hungry and then realized that upping my fiber intake has made a huge difference. I am watching that and my protein intake. Now to just stay on task.
That is awesome!!! You are finding what works for you, keep up the great work. :bigsmile:0 -

I've had no change in 3 weeks. and only down 3 pounds from the starting weight. I'm trying to stay focused and not get frustrated, but it's hard.
Maybe change things up a little. Do a different workout video for a week or two and then change to another one. It is best to confuse your body, it will burn more calories when it does not know what it is doing. Hang in there, it will start coming off before you know it. :bigsmile:0 -
Thanks so much!! To answer your previous question: The medication gave me a terrible upset stomach the first day and the third day I threw up that night. I called the doctor and he said to take 1 pill in the morning for a week, 2 pills during the day for the second week, and then all 3 for the third week and then I should be adapted to it. I feel great today and have lost my appetite a little which is helping with my cravings.
Oh and I haven't had pop in 7 days now, I did pick up some diet ice tea to help me get through the day. No sugar and no calories.:happy:0 -

Who else is stuck on a plateau here? For those of you who have busted out of a long plateau period, what did you do that worked? I'd appreciate any advise 'cuz I'm getting frustrated (not enough to throw in the towel, though - I just want the scale to move again!)
I was on a plateau for the longest time and I finally got out of it. What I did was talked to someone who is a nutritionist on the Beachbody website and he helped me tweek my food. At the time I was also doing the P90X program. Some points that are important to know are: Eat your fruit for breakfast or mid-morning snack (believe it or not fruit is very high in carbs and sugars). The reason for eating them in the morning is to give your body time to burn the carbs off before bedtime. Also, eat the main portion of your carbs before your afternoon snack because they also need to process before you go t bed. Protien is a must especially if you are working out on a regular basis. For dinner try chicken, eggs or pork (I have pork loins for dinner every nite). Also, maybe for dinner throw in a big salad, use the salad spritzers for your dressing. On most of them they are only 1 calorie per squirt. You are more than welcome to take a look at my food day to get an idea of what I do. I usually eat the same thing all week. I know alot of people don't like to eat the same thing everyday, but I absolutely love everything I eat, so it is not a problem for me.
On exercise, if you are doing DVDs at home I suggest switching up every couple or weeks. It will keep your body guessing and burning calories. I just finished the 90 day program of P90X and it was an awesome workout. I will be doing another round of it starting October 5. So right now I am actually switching up and doing a DVD from Core Rhythms. It is a dance video and is a lot of fun. I also am doing a jogging program called Couch to 5K. I am burning a lot of calories with that. At the end of this program I will be able to jog 3 miles or 30 mins straight without stopping. I am on week 4 and loving it.
If you have other questions, do not hesitate to ask. I will do my best to help you out. :bigsmile:0 -

Sorry about the upset stomach, I hope that is better now. It is good that it is helping with your cravings. Do make sure you still have your 5 mini-meals a day to keep your body fueled.
That is great that you have not had soda for 7 days, Keep up the great work. :bigsmile:0 -
