    Are you doing a group spreadsheet on google docs like my other challenge group or put them in where? I maintain all my numbers on MFP already.

    There is a spreadsheet for monthly weigh in. Just post your measurements here each month with the change.

    Posting your measurements is a great way to help you track how your doing. Sometimes the scales dont move but your body will shrink.

    Here are my beginning of the year stats:

    Weight 238.2
    Bust 49.5
    Waist 46.25
    Hips 54.75
    Thigh 28.75


    I will be weighing weekly, on Sundays.
    I'll likely be taking my measurements, but no sooner than every four weeks.

    As you can tell from my stats, I am big for my weight. That is because I am mostly fat with very little lean muscle. Worse, I'm an apple shape, which means I carry most of my excess weight in my middle--the most unhealthy place to have it.

    I certainly want to lose weight, but I mostly hope to replace some of the fat with muscle.

    1/1 Measurements
    Weight - 225
    Chest - 46
    Waist - 41
    Hips - 51
    Arms - 14.5
    Thighs - 30
    Body Fat % - 48.6
    Muscle Mass - 109.8

    1/8 Measurements
    Weight - 223.6 DOWN 1.4 lbs!
    Chest - 46 same
    Waist - 40 DOWN 1 inch
    Hips - 51 same
    Arms - 14 DOWN 1/2 inch
    Thighs - 30 same
    Body Fat %- 49.1 UP .5 percent (oops!)
    Muscle Mass - 108.9 DOWN .9 lbs (oops!)


    Well, I'm stoked about losing weight but it looks like I may have lost some lean muscle as well, although those body fat measuring scales aren't totally accurate and it's that time of the month so that always messes with the numbers a bit. I know that I worked out a lot last week but was bad about eating back my exercise calories, and over the weekend we celebrated two birthdays where I hardly burned any calories and I ate a LOT. So I think I need to do better at eating back those exercise calories and also not overindulging on the other side. This also shows me that I really really need to get back into strength training, which was a challenge I mentioned on the other post.

    One week down and some lessons learned - on to week 2! Good luck everyone!

    PS Don't forget to update your weigh ins on the group spreadsheet!

    1/15 Measurements
    Weight - 222.2 DOWN another 1.4 lbs! (2.8 total!)
    Chest - 46 same
    Waist - 40 same (1 inch total)
    Hips - 51 same
    Arms - 14 same (1/2 inch total)
    Thighs - 30 same

    Body Fat %- 49.0 DOWN .1 percent
    Muscle Mass - 107.4 DOWN 1.5 lbs (uh oh)

    Again, I know those body fat measuring scales aren't totally accurate but I am concerned that I'm losing more muscle than fat. I did fail at my goal of getting back into strength training as I didn't make it to the weight room and did no exercise at all from Thursday to Sunday because I was in pain from my IUD insertion.

    I also ate rather poorly, with a Japanese food and beer free-for-all Thursday, a football BBQ on Saturday, and a whole pint of Ben&Jerry's over the weekend.

    I will have to work really really hard to stay on track this week. I have meals with my MBA cohorts tonight, Thursday, and all day Saturday that will be difficult to regulate/track, along with a Junior League dinner on Wednesday and a going away dinner on Sunday. So basically, I have to be extremely careful with what I eat the rest of the days and exercise hard :ohwell: Yikes, wish me luck!

    Two weeks down and more lessons learned - on to week 3! Good luck everyone!

    1/22 Measurements
    Weight - 221.0 DOWN another 1.2 lbs! (-4 total!)
    Chest - 46 same
    Waist - 40 same (-1 inch total)
    Hips - 51 same
    Arms - 14 same (-1/2 inch total)
    Thighs - 30 same

    Body Fat %- 48.9 DOWN .1 percent
    Muscle Mass - 106.9 DOWN 0.5 lbs (uh oh again?)

    Seriously questioning this body fat measuring scale's muscle mass calculating function. If it's right, I am still concerned that I'm losing more muscle than fat, especially since I don't see the inches going anywhere.

    However, I knew that the last week was going to be rough with all of the functions I had planned to go to, along with more impromptu events (basketball game, football at buffalo wild wings, spur of the moment dinner party), so maybe it's right after all. I know that before most of the uncontrolled eating, I was 220.8, and then Sunday I was weighing in around 225-227 (midday, with all that food still in my belly!), so I guess it's lucky I'm back down to 221.

    This week should be a lot easier. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are still my "danger days" for food, but the rest of the time I know will be spot on.

    Three weeks down and more lessons learned - on to week 4! Good luck everyone!
