    SW 1/7: 218
    1/14 - 216.4
    1/21 - 216
    1/28 - 216
    2/02 - 214.9
    2/12 - 215.6
    2/19 - 217.2

    I'm discouraged...the scale is going the wrong way. I have to change it up. Suggestions???
    The scale is a terrible liar, take measurements.
    Have you considered mixing up your workouts perhaps HIIT training? Will definitely confuse your metabolism and you are left with a great after burn..
    Thank you for the words of encouragement.:flowerforyou: I will make some changes and see what happens. Not giving up!

    Hi ladies! I weighed in yesterday and the scale didn't move one way or the other. :ohwell: However, I did join a "Biggest Loser" challenge at work and I did 45 minutes of Zumba today at the gym! Yay meeeee!!!

    Keep up the good work ladies!

    Although we typically want the scale to move in our favor, maintaining is always a plus. Good job on not going in the other direction! Keep it up!

    I'm sure A LOT of us have been unsuccessful at weight loss, that's why we're all here. Be encouraged, you can do anything you put your mind to. Send out a few friend requests; I can tell you, seeing their progress in your news feed (i.e. how many calories they burned, how many days they've logged in in a row, how many pounds lost) is all the incentive you will need. It makes you want to keep up with everyone else.

    Best wishes to you on your weight loss goals. I'm sure you will do great!

    Sorry, I forgot to log in my progress yesturday. Last week I acheived a few non scale goals. I met my calorie loss goal (actually went over it) and logged in my food all of last week. I beleive as long as I achieve my non scale goals like logging inot this forum, I can reach my goal weight loss of 37 lbs by June 21st. Since I'm trying to gain muscule and loss fat at the same time, the weight reflecting on the scale will fluctuate.
  • Hey Chica's !!

    Just wanted to check in, this is mid-term time for me so super busy and doing my best to stay on point ! Hope you all are having a great week !

    Following on from the dates Yana set for the challenge I believe I set mine as 204 for Feb 21.
    Unfortunately I have not met it but i'm OK with that because I finally managed to undo my birthday damage and get back down to 217 today so i'm looking forward to seeing the scale continue going down and the ticker change.

    Welcome to all new members hope you find the motivation and support you need. :smile:

    I NEVER post this early in the morning, mainly because I'm rushing trying to get ready for work, BUT....this is the first official weigh in day, and surprisingly, I'm down 1 pound, after having weighed in only 3 days ago: my regular day which is Mondays! Now I will note that on Monday when I weighed in, I felt a little bloated, so this pound was probably lingering from Monday's weigh in. Nevertheless, I'm stoked!!

    I didn't add this pound loss to my tracker because I want to see what the total loss is on next Monday.

    Weigh in date goals:

    Feb 21 : 177.5 (I'm .5 pounds over this goal! :tongue: )
    Apr 21: 160
    Jun 21: 143


    Keep pushing forward ladies!
