    Okay, I'll go next. Last week 190.2, this week 191.6....up 1.6 pounds. Knew it was going to happen when I started back with weights at the gym two weeks ago, and the main reason I joined this group. Intellectually I know it's not fat that I've put on. I've tracked everything I eaten, bought a new scale and weighing portions, been within 200 calories (up or down) every single day. But I'm sore, which I know means my body is retaining water trying to heal itself. It's not really fat, I keep saying over and over. I told myself that I wouldn't worry about what the scale says until the end of August, but that's a minute by minute battle!! I got a great compliment yesterday on how good my legs looked in the skirt I was wearing, and thought to myself "I have to remember that when the scale shows I'm not going in the right direction." The scale is wrong...I am SO going in the right direction! Four months ago I wouldn't ever get off the couch and was eating anything my heart desired. Now I'm in the gym at least four times a week, attempting to eat cleaner, and making huge PERMANENT changes in my daily behavior. Just can't let the short term emotions disrupt my long term goals. 50 before 50! I can do it! (with your help!) How was everybody else's week?

    Alright. Started this thing at 185 and am down to 181. Don't know what I did besides alternating days of REALLY good eating (I'm a vegetarian so these days consist of eating almost nothing but raw fruit and veggies until dinner where I have either fish with vegetables or something a bit heavier) and really crappy eating. Definitely need to get consistent. I started today wonderfully though so I have high hopes for Wednesday. :)


    Start: 185
    End: 181

    Loss: 4

    I lost a pound this week. I have been struggling with fluid retention some vacation at the end of June. Great job to all the "losers" this week. And to those who did not remember it is a new week and it is never to early for a fresh start. I am hopeful that this is the beginning if a new weight loss cycle for me with my loss this week.

    Started this group late but in need of breaking my plateau. I started my journey at 250 and have been able to get to 226. Since I have went up to just 227 but have been there for a few weeks now and it's getting on my nerves. So I am startint today at 227 and will update next Wednesday. Great job to everyone with their accomplishments so far. Keep striving. Victory is inevitable.
