PlusSize Barbie - Week 5

i have not done either challenge this week, even though I really need to. i was just talking to my friend this past week on how weak my stomach muscles actually were. hopefully they will get better, but got to do something about thm to get them stronger, 3 c-sections and 5 kids have done wonders for the muscles

have a great weekend

Been a better week for me,hopefully Monday it will show on the scale and i ca finally get to my goal!
Starting Weight - 229.7 (3/29)
Week 1 - goal 228 lbs, weight 230.3 lbs (4/5)
Week 2 - goal: 228 lbs, weight 230.3 lbs (4/12)
Week 3 - goal: 228 lbs, weight 232.4 lbs (4/19)
Week 4 - goal: 228 lbs, weight 226.6 lbs (4/26) = finally losing again, guess that is what happens when you do not eat over your calories

# lbs LOST: 3.8 lbs
# lbs TO GO: 76.6 lbs
Week 5 - goal 225 lbs

I have my offical 5 week weigh in and measurements with my trainer tonight. Wish me luck. I haven't lost any weight or gained anything since last week but I am okay with that since I was sick and pretty much didn't get out of bed for 3 days.

Good luck with your weigh in!

hey, what about this idea..... what if we all just made our own challenges to do since 1 thing might be challenging for some of us but not others.....like, the walking for 30 mins a day could be challenging for some, but others may already do this each day. if we set our own weekly challenges then we could post them on here at the beginning or end of the week with our stats and then others can see them and also use them if they want. it would be a good way to put different challenges out there. just a thought.......

Well no weigh in tonight since I forgot my car keys at work and my gym bag was in the car. A whole long explantion but I ride the bus and work 45 mins away so I got a cab to the gym half way there remembered I didn't have my bag but thought what the hell i can still do my weigh in but instead my trainer just gave me a ride home.

Aww bogus. I look forward to my official weigh in day at the gym since I'm not the only once seeing my progress.

Weigh in:
Starting weight: 245
Week 1: goal- None - Actual- Unknown
Week 2 - GOAL-- 240 – Actually got 239.4!!
Week 3: goal- 238 Actual- 240.6
Week 4: goal- 235 Actual- 234.8 (WOOOHOO!)
# lbs lost: 8.8
# lbs to go: 86.2
Week 5: goal- 233 - Actual 236.2 (Gained 1.4 :sick: ) - End of April
Week 1: goal - 230 :mad: (I need to take control back)

Okay, it's been a bad week and I'm just starting to feel better now. Scale will probably go back up and I will hit it hard next week. Had my last smoke tonight so next week will be a b@#!h of a week but hey, that's what the gym is for, RIGHT?

Oh yeah, saw the doctor today and she gave me more meds to help with the "body language" that I'm experiencing. Apparently, all the colds, flus and etc, is my body's way of dealing with background crap. Gotta love it. (getting off venting station right now.)

I must admit, next week will be my first month anniversary on the mfp. I think I did pretty awesome, and I didn't do it alone. If I take a look back to where I was a month ago and someone told me that I would weigh nine pounds less, I wouldn't have believed it.

All I can say is Thank you. Thank you for inspiration, motivation and the ACCOUNTABILITY. I couldn't have done it without you, literally. :flowerforyou:

I can't wait to see what happens next month.

:happy:

so i lost another pound and the half a pound i gained last week. im at 202 and my mini goal is to be under 200 by mothers day so lets see if i can do this. ima have to work out more this week!!!!!!!

Is my scale wrong?? I apparently gained 8 pounds this week?? It's not my time of the month and I have been very good as far as calories and exercise are concerned. I've been eating my exercise calories as well. Has anyone else had this happen before?
