    My last weight was 176

    My CURRENT weight is 172.2

    My next goal will be 169

    I have been working out twice a day and my boyfriend thinks it's too much! I still have been eating enough calories... The problem is sometimes i'll feel like I haven't worked out enough if I only work out ONCE a day!! Any suggestions on how much is too much for working out? I have been doing 35mins after work and 30-40mins in the evening w/ my man. lol
    Thanks for the feedback!

    THAT IS AWESOME! TAKE A BOW! YOU DESERVE IT! :flowerforyou:

    Ugh :(

    SW - 150.0
    CW - 150.6
    gw for 2/24 - 148

    I guess I'll just have to put in more gym time this weekend to try to drop that weight.

    Congrats to everyone seeing good numbers this week! You deserve it!

    ughh--I didn't do too well this first week, didn't lose anything.It has been a rough week . I have been under very high stress which makes it even harder both physically and mentally to get this weight to come off.I feel really dissapointed in myself and disgusted to be trapped in this body. I have to stay focused and do better this week.

    SW:169
    CW:169-0 lbs lost
    GW:135

    Its ok! Don't beat your self up about it. You can get back on it!! Don't let it get to you because that will just make you depressed and, for most people, want to eat. just work out a little extra this week. We are all here for your support girl!! Good Luck!

    I'd love to join you guys.:happy:

    Stats:
    Height: 5 ft 2 in
    Heaviest Weight: 225 (around this from 18yrs to now 36yrs)
    Lost weight on own: 225-194 (adjusting to divorce and want it to continue!)
    Starting Weight on MFP: 194 (Jan 4 2010)
    Current Weight: 187 (Feb 15, 2010)
    Goal: basically lost 5-6 lbs per month until I reach my goal of approximately 135 lbs

    I just divorced (Oct 09) and have sole custody of my two children (7 and 11...and my 11 yr old is disabled), I work full time and have ZERO time to myself. I have an underactive thyroid for 5 years, and iron anemia. I have a hard time cooking for just myself and the kids now as they are really picky and my kids are underweight (high metabolism NOT inherited from me!) so I have to cook high-cal foods for them and try to either eat a lot less of it or cook something entirely different for myself. I bought a treadmill and elliptical machine for home so can do that, but can't get to a gym based on my limited time. I also bought a DVD but my player broke the same night so haven't actually done it yet, hopefully will get a new one this weekend so can get into that. I am finding it hard to get motivated after working a full day and then caring for my kids to have the energy to actively "work out"....any suggestions?

    Morning everyone!


    Start weight- 185
    LW-178.2
    CW- 177 (down a pound Wheeww)

    Goal 2/24- 175 or lower

    I was sweatin for weigh in bc after the weekend I had ( NO WORKING OUT- NO Counting calories) I was up to 180. I was not thrilled but yesterday I did 40 Mins of run walk and was under my net calories! It shows that it pays off to just stick to it.... even if yiou have a bad day or couple of days. For me this is something I need to remember!

    Alll the losers out there, great job!!

    Anyone who didnt lose.... step it up todayy, drink your water and youll see that difference.

    Down 1 lb from last week, but UP 1.2 from this weekend (was at 184.4 on Friday). I'm retaining water like CRAZY (TOM arrived this morning). I had 18 cups of water yesterday and I was still parched at bedtime (as I am again this morning). Still -- I know it's not FAT, it's just water, and next week I should have a nice drop.

    Happy Wednesday, all!!

    my weight this morning was 147, up 1 pound from last week. i know i have been over-eating these last two weeks so it is not shocking but it is disheartening. my mini goal for next week is 145.

    Just viewing this message board for the first time!

    I am 27 years old, and at the heaviest I've ever been. Not feeling so great about myself- wardrobe doesn't fit, and even though I just had my beautiful baby boy 2 months ago, I feel like I should have dropped SOME of the weight gain so far, and haven't!
    I'd LOVE to feel good about myself again, and be healthier so I can teach good eating habits to my son when he's old enough to start eating real food!

    I see that you all weigh in on Wednesdays, so today will be the first weigh in for me while also being my starting weight:

    2/17/2010: A shocking 215 lbs (my heaviest weight ever- though I will grant myself that I only had my baby 2 months ago & am still carrying a lot of that weight)
    Mini goal by 02/24/2010: 210 lbs (is that ambitious with a sedentary "stay at home with a 2 month old" lifestyle? We'll see!)
    My goal by 9/11/2010: 160 lbs

    I was 160 lbs. at 5'6" in college, and really liked how I felt & looked then (always got stopped in the street to be payed compliments- something I took for granted at 20! but now 55 lbs. heavier & almost 8 years older, don't feel so good about myself & wish I'd appreciated it more than i did!)

    you want to lose 5 lbs in a week????? :noway: ambitious for sure, but also not really a healthy goal m'dear, are you hoping to lose a lot of water weight to start? are you going to be expecting a 5 lb loss every week?

    1 lb a week is recommended, and most sensible...2 lbs a week is the max recommended as far as being healthy goes....
    be careful that you're not putting too much pressure on yourself please! :flowerforyou:

    My last weight was 178.

    My CURRENT weight is 178.4

    My next goal will be 177.



    I feel like I'm doing a lot of things right for once, watching what I eat, 8 days of cardio in a row....I WILL NOT let this little gain get me down. I feel great and that is all that matters!

    You are probably gaining muscle try measuring yourself today!! :)

    Ugh...four exams and a tutoring session this week, plus a wedding this past weekend, kind of killed my weight loss (and my gym time :sad: ).

    Remarkably, I'm somehow still down a pound? Hm.

    Starting Weight: 149

    Last Week's Weight: 147

    Today: 146

    Goal 2/24: 144

    Hi All,

    SW 166.8
    LW 167.8
    Weight today 167.8
    Mini Goal - 163
    Goal weight by9/10 135

    I just don't know what to think. I did well at exercising last week. The only thing I did was go out to eat with my hubby last Friday night. And I didn't over indulge and I cut back the rest of the day b/c I knew I would be going out to eat, so remarkably I was like 250 calories over, which was not much to me since I went out. Hmmm. I am expecting my period some time this week. Maybe retaining water. If not then I am not sure what to think. I am defintely headed in the wrong direction and it is very unmotivating. If I workout and watch what I eat and gain, then what is the point?

    Everyone is doing great so far. Keep up the good work!

    Weigh in today - 167.8lbs.
    I had a bad weekend. Ate way too much and was away from home, so it was harder to keep track of everything.

    I forgot to weight myself this morning (had to work earlier than normal) so i'm going to use what i weighted yesterday morning. Since i usually weight in in the mornings i want to keep it consistent. Yesterday i weighted in at 172.5.

    Please don't give up! The scale can be deceptive. If it goes up a little but you are feeling good and your clothes are fitting well, there is a good chance you are gaining muscle and That is Good! In the long run that muscle will help you burn more fat. TOM definitely has a factor. I know I pick up a couple pounds when that happens. So don't lose hope - You are doing the right things and the right things will happen for you! :flowerforyou:

    well TOM appeared today so that explains the salt and choco cravings, pair that with the fact i am not in my own house for the week as i am babysitting ...... = I dont think i am weighing in tomorrow LOL i will keep my wednesday weigh in for this group, and then weigh in again next week for this group ( i normally do my own WI on fridays)

    on the plus side despite not being able to make it to my fitness classes all week i did the elliptical on my lunch break at work on tuesday, and today i called the gym to find out if they still ran free fitness classes at lunch hour for the base employees, which they so long as we have our base access ID so I went to spin at lunch :)

    I am deliriously happy its Friday. My eating is out of control and not sure what to do about it. I am studying for the CPA exam and take the first section tomorrow morning - MAN AM I STRESSED OUT!!!! I had a melt down last night and had not one, not two, not three but FOUR pieces of pizza. I sure did feel better after but of course this morning I feel just plain fat. TOM was due this week and hasn't shown up yet so that just contributes to it all.

    I guess I am just losing it. Once I take that test tomorrow, I hope to feel better. Maybe I will celebrate by going on a good hike and burn some of these calories I have been collecting.

    Thanks for listening. Have a Great Friday!
