    Ok, so talk about being upset!....This week I know I shouldn't even bother weighing in because the weight gain is inevitable and there is nothing I can do about it but geez! I am so bloated and have so much water retention! I have actually gained 4 lbs. this time. To top it off, my treadmill broke this weekend and I have only been able to run 1 time in the past 3 days. I may be up a pound due to that but the other 3 pounds are because of the wonders of being a woman! HA! I get so frustrated every month during my cycle. Anyone else feel the same way or have the same problem?

    If I don't get someone in here soon to fix my treadmill I will go crazy. Unfortunately I can't run outside 2 days during the week due to having a young child home; kindergarten here is only 2 1/2 days. The other problem is that it's supposed to rain from Wednesday on! UGH!!! I feel so frustrated!!!

    I'm also expecting what I call "Alice" (a term that caught on during college) and day now. Well, I got on the scale this morning before the workout and suppose it won't go down anymore after that so my scale said 169. Which is great! Since my scale hasn't budged since Easter. And I'm down into another number! Yipee! Hopefully it will stay there!

    Hey, I'm new and this looks like a good challenge for me.

    Weight last monday: 182.6
    Weight today: 180.6
    Goals: 175 by May 17 (my college graduation ceremony), 150 by September 1st. I may be happy at 150, may want to lose a bit more- I'll see when I get there.

    I'm pretty sure some of that is water weight, but I'll take it :happy:

    I've been doing pilates based workouts for the past few weeks and I'm seeing some nice improvements in my stomach area, but I wish I could force my body to lose from the legs instead, haha. This week my goal is to do at least 3 45-min cardio sessions and work on my arm and leg muscles more.

    We haven't heard from some people who started with us on March 16th, so I removed them from the list. I hope they are still going or find another thread to keep motivated!

    This week, let's do legs! How about squats and lunges. Try and add 20-30 squats, and 10 lunges each leg into your daily workouts.

    I think Patricia is the biggest loser this week! 3 pounds gone, and since 3/16 8.6 pounds gone!
    Way to Go!!:flowerforyou: :drinker: :wink:

    Well, tomorrow is my weigh in day at the gym. :tongue: A litte scared after last week :sad: , but I am proud to say that I have not had a Coke, my major hangup, in one full week!!! :bigsmile: That is the one thing that I have struggled with during "my whole weight loss life". If I don't loss, I will still have the satisfaction of knowing, that is at least 2400 calories this week that I haven't had. We will see and post tomorrow.
    Rhonda

    Ok, I have weighed and measured, my weight was 181 last week and this week I was 180 lb, I have lost an inch in my waist, hips and thighs. So all in all I have made progress this week. I have no clue where the 3 extra pounds came from last week but at least one of them are gone!:flowerforyou:
