It 2010 Please Join me Part 2!...My lovely Group!

Hi Folks,

Couldn't drop in my weigh-in results at the beginning of this week...buried deep in work.

I didn't have anything really great to report on the weigh-in anyways. Lost 1.1 pounds last week (no brainer, given my alternate week pattern). I'm still trailing behind my targets on a cumulative basis, though. Hoping to correct that in the coming few weeks. Catch up as much as possible.

Here's a snapshot of how my progress has been till now.

Week Net Calories Net Calories per day Intake Deficit Exercise Calories Lbs lost

1 7633 1091 6978 2189 3.25
2 9051 1293 6336 1413 -
3 7780 1111 8030 990 3.37
4 9022 1288 6700 1078 -
5 8967 1281 7035 798 3.85
6 10480 1497 5787 533 (1.65)
7 10248 1464 5546 1006 1.10


Can anyone spot a trend here that I cannot?

I am going to try from next to try and re-live as much as possible weeks 3 or 5. I intend to exactly eat the same foods and exercise the same amount of calories as those weeks and see if it produces the same or similar results.

Thoughts, anyone?

Best Regards,

Turin

thank-you for the support, chipgal. things have been looking up since i posted a couple days ago

newbeginning--congrats on all those inches lost! i think that's i better way to monitor your progress because muscle is more compact than fat, and thus weighs more but is smaller. i agree with your idea to really stick to your calorie goal this week. i find when i rely on exercise to get under my goal, i don't do as well. and hopefully, your new puppy will be up for lots of walks!

i didn't get a chance to weigh in before i ate yesterday morning or today... but i did weigh myself just now (about 4 hours after having toast, and i've had 2 cups of water) and i'm exactly the same as last week, 143.6 . lol. hopefully i'm 142... i'll check tomorrow morning... however, i'm happy about my body fat percentage and muscle percentage. i'm 29% fat and 41% muscle, says my scale. (so it might not be accurate, i dunno.) however, in january, i was 32% fat! so i'm happy about that.

hope everyone's having a good weekend

{{edit}} i had to buy a new pair of khakis for a musical theatre performance, and i was a size 8! the last pair of pants i bought were either 10's or 12's.. yeeesssss! lol

Where's Myth?!:huh:

Welcome back Nicmc8. It is hard to mentally get through a set barrier. Mine seems to be 300. I get below and then go nuts and gain 5 pounds to go over again. The message board has helped I think I'll keep it off this time.

Hope your doing well EEk. Glad to hear you needed smaller britches.:bigsmile:

Chipgal

Myth- Sorry you are not feeling well. Take care of yourself!

Hope everyone else is having a fantastic week!

Keep drinking your water!!!!

EEK- Thank you. Where will your band be playing? I live in Washington:)

Hello everyone! I have been MIA for way too long. Tried skimming through post to get caught up on everything but will have to come back to do that...I should be righting 3 papers right now for homework. ugh! I hate when i procrastinate. Luckily they are all short papers and shouldn't take too long...or so I think. haha! I need to get two done before heading out in an hour and a half to my son's cub scout pinewood derby races. I am stuck going because I am bringing the scale. Helps that I work for the director who is also over the County's Weights and Measures division. haha!

I have been holding my own weight loss wise going between the same 2 lbs (178-180). I am good with that considering I went on a huge junk food spree for the past two weeks. What was up with that? And no exercise because I am still trying to find time to just be myself between the increased work hours, kids, husband (aka big kid), home, and homework. BUT I think I may have helped to solve the delima. I ordered a weight bench last night and should have it in about a week. i am so excited!!!! I don't have the time to get to the gym so I am going to bring a little bit of the gym to me. Plus with the change in daylight savings, that should mean more daylight! I can get out on the bike somehow, even for a quick high intensity interval jaunt.

So starting the week off with clean eats as my focus. Breakfast was 3 eggs (1 whole, 2 whites) scrambled in a smidgeon of olive oil and about a cup and half of baby spinach. A little bit of coffe to wash it down and a half of a jalapeno cheddar bread roll. With everything calculated, that put me at about 240 calories for breakfast. Now to start chugging the water bottle I have here next to me.

Myth, to answer your more calories lost weight question...sometimes you have to eat more to lose more. Crazy I know, but if you are working out you really do need to increase your calories or else you risk throwing your system into startvation mode. That is not a good mode. Plus switching up your calories is a good thing at times so at to keep your body guessing and not entering that starvation mode.

Congrats to all the ladies that are sticking with it. It is not as important if you are losing or not, you are dedicating yourself to a better healthier you. That in itself should be applauded. Great job!

Now off to write! Have a great Sunday!

Myth, Hope the Dr gives you the correct antidote for what ails you. I know when they call in the family the end is near, lost my grandmother in 1990 and they called my sister, but she arrived 3 hours after my grand mother died. It is a hole for a while and it never really fills back in. I'll keep you in my thoughts as you battle everything.

Eek, I'll try to post more often as summer gets here and it quits raining and snowing.

Looked at old post and still points to this post so I do not know what happened to everyone?:huh:

Well my day started bad last night, my aunt with the brainand lung cancer passed last night. I am more sad for my stepfather who has lost his baby sister. I have pulled through so far today, eating is all planned and even went to the gym. Just keep crying here and there because my friends that were talking divorce are doing it and it is starting to look ugly. My hubby says you cant change this Shannon you need to let it go. I have a stress headache right now and jsut want to curl up in bed and cry, but I cant. I have kids to tend to and a boycout meeting tonight and life goes on. Maybe Ill try to get to bed early. Thanks for the ear guys. On the good side I am enjoying the changes in my body I am up to 8 pounds gone and I can already see the difference! So that is exciting.

Thalia, congrats on the 60 pounds chica! YOU ROCK! Ladies dont give up we are here for you

Nicgetfit,,
u changed your pic and I was like who is that then I saw the name and realized who it was lol.

myth and thalia -- i'm so sorry to hear about your friends/family, my thoughts are with you!

seems like nobody's been having a good time of it recently (except nicgetfit lol). i was all good until i woke up veeeery early sunday morning and was violently ill! ugh. so then i had a fever and thought it was just the flu, but by the end of the day my temp was still around 39.5C, so i went to the hospital and low and behold i have an infection that's gonna spread to my kidneys if i don't take these awful antibiotics! the main reason i hate them is because you have to eat food with them... and food is definately not my friend right now! lol. soo yeah. no point in logging cuz it'll just tell me to eat more! haha. but i thought i'd check in anyways. plus i realized if i went another day without logging in it'd say "eek hasn't logged in for 3 days" and i was like noooooo i don't want that to happen!! ahaha

oh and CONGRATS THALIA on your 60 pounds lost! thats awesome!!

So I have been to the gym for the last three days and omg!! I am so sore! My inner thighs are so sore and feel like they will explode they are so tight and sore. Now MOnday morning my weight was 135.6 but after exercising and being so sore my weight is up and I swear everytime this happens then when all the swelling goes down I so does my weight. It is just irritating and frustrating. Do any of you expierence this? or did you? Just wondering..
