    I don't know what happened this past week, but I ended up gaining back 2lbs :grumble: . Lots of family stuff happening, but going to be really careful this week, drink lots of water and get in my exercise......was not good this last week. Didn't make it to the gym, but managed to put in a bit of a workout at home.

    CW = 189.5lbs
    LW = 187.5lbs

    First to report, then I NEED HELP!

    CW 173.....no change, not bad, not great.

    HELP:

    Okay, so since starting this weight loss journey I said I was NOT going to do anything extreme just to lose weight otherwise I would just put it back on. I've basically kept my same crappy eating ways, I've just tried to stay under my mark and this week it's been so hard to to do that.

    My problem is what can I do to vamp this up? I know I need more water, fruits and vegetables. My exercise has increased meaning I'm actually eating more since I'm eating most or all of those calories back to. Should I not eat them this week to see if I lose? (Okay, it's Margarita tuesday tomorrow so I WILL be eating them back). I can't do the whole clean eating thing because so much of what I eat is processed, I mean, milk is processed is it not? I think I eat some things that are good like yogurt, whole wheat bread, milk, etc....aren't they all processed?

    I just really want to get focused and make better choices but I don't know how. I'm feeling lost. I want to go on vacay with my husband, son and parents and make memories for a lifetime, but I'm scared I will be a hermit and totally freaked out by how I look and what OTHERS are thinking of me. Please help...........

    aprilchampalmer – I can’t wait to see Sex and the City: 2. I watched number 1 the other day to get it all fresh in my mind.
    enromero – Holy moly! Look at you go! Great work, very proud of you!
    sweet148angel – HOORAY! Well, hooray for being down 1 pound, not for being at work.
    chgraham – I’m sorry to hear about that but maybe it’s muscle gain and if that’s the case, you should get ready for a big loss!! Let’s get focused again and start a new week, I know you can do it! I had a rough weekend (I haven’t weighed in yet, I will be tomorrow morning) so I’m sure I’m up as well.
    melbhall – Water, water and more water. I can’t believe what a difference drinking more water makes. I walk around with a 600 mL bottle (20 oz) and I refill it 5 times a day. It has made a huge difference for me. Also, veggies, I love veggies and I much on them all the time. I don’t recommend not eating back your workout calories, that’s a quick fix and will end up looking like it’s helping for 2-3 weeks and then nothing. One thing a friend told me (from her personal trainer) that has made a world of a difference for me as well is to push myself 110% every time I work out. When I think I’m spent with pushups or crunches I force myself to do one more rep. She said, if you feel like you can’t do anymore, do one more set. Just a few tips that I’ve been using, I hope they help. Love ya!
    allislefttogain – Wowzers! So close you can taste it I bet, haha! Was it you who did the no drinking for a couple of months? I’m thinking about doing that. I don’t drink a lot but I find that whenever I do it’s just a pile of extra calories and when I do my next weigh-in I’m always choked about it.
    blondie76 – Not to bad? Are you kidding, that’s great!! Also, I love the new photo, very cute.
    fordbarth – Wonderful, I do believe that you are past your half way mark are you not? I had a great weekend, thanks. How was yours?
    bowbee – Congrats on the pound down! I haven’t weighed in yet today, so I’m thinking I’m going to do my weigh-in tomorrow morning. Hopefully I’ll see a good number there like you.



    Did anyone do the fun challenge?

    I DID A CHALLENGE, altho not exactly fun...it was kinda scary and at the same time liberating...!
    I took a great leap by giving each of our "college kids" an American Express credit card!!!! Somebody scream for me...:noway:

    All 3 just left, in the "college mobile" to go hang out at The Main Event...some big fancy arcade/bowling/lazer tag/golf mega center... w/2 AMEX cards...yikes...w/imposed limits naturally.

    I'm so proud of myself :tongue:

    I'll re-weigh tomorrow, early....hardly a drop to even count :sad:
    I'll post it ASAP...

    hooah to all the military families on MFP! We're proud of YOU :drinker:

    Sorry I'm still with it but battery died in scale :( just my luck. Finally found battery but too late for me to weigh myself today. But I did challenge though it wasn't exciting as getting a puppy would would love one but don't think my dog would like it. I wore a tank top outside in the yard, that is something I would NEVER do and though my arms still jiggle I still wore it around the yard

    sw (for weight loss army) 156
    lw 155.6
    cw 157.6 ....gained 2 pounds :sad:

    but i think thats what i get for not exercising as much as i usually do per week and the constant eating out with friends and that (too much sodium) so hopefully with the homecooking and exercising I will lose these 2 pounds...glad you are all keeping me accountable

    Weighing in from a nice long weekend of sun and fun!

    Can't complain but nothing to rave about either.

    Current Weight is 150.4lbs, but after 2 bbq's I guess I should be happy it didn't go up, up, up...

    Have a fabulous week everyone!

    barty – I’m so happy that you were able to step (WAY OUT) of the box and do something crazy! Fantastic! You made me laugh when you clarified that it was the puppy you were talking about and not your husband, haha. Congrats on the loss and being so very close to your goal!!
    blondie76 – Oh I hear you on the always wishing for more but I try to tell myself several times, at least it’s down. You still look amazing!
    hooah_mj – WOW! That is huge, how did it go? Do you have to re-mortgage the house now? Haha. I’m sure they had a blast! A loss is a loss, perhaps this week your body was building up some muscle which is super important.
    healthyeater9 – That is great, maybe next week you’ll wear one out on a walk. . .baby steps, baby steps. I’m sorry about the gain, so frustrating. Drink a ton of water, that will help with the sodium almost instantly!
    believe2009 – We’d love for you to join! We weigh-in on Monday’s and I post a progress chart on Tuesday’s. Check out today’s post for this week’s challenges.
    metfanlisa – Most important, did you have fun at the bbq’s?


    My turn!
    LW – 200.6
    CW – 198.2

    I’m down 2.4 pounds!! I worked so hard to reach my first 2 goals (under 200 and 20 pounds lost). Well I clearly reached my first goal and couldn’t be happier! Unfortunately I’m 0.8 pounds away from the 20 pounds lost BUT I’m ok with that. I wanted to reach it by yesterday, oh well, it’s not like I going to stop trying, in fact, working so hard this last week has shown me that if I really focus great leaps and bounds can happen.

    I’ll post the graph and then this week’s challenges.
