    Great job to everyone who has maintained and lost. I'm soooo frustrated today.
    I've been working out like a woman possessed and really eating clean and a GAIN today for my efforts:sad:

    I getting frustrated!! I don't know what is going on with me! I'm staying within my calories (below actually), exercising everyday, and drinking my water. I weighed yesterday and was down to 147.8 I think, but today I am at 149!! My husband thinks it may be water. I don't drink hardly anything on the weekend but on Monday I go back to drinking about a gallon a day. I don't know what is going on but it's making me mad lol!! I got my exercise in yesterday! I got to walk, run, jog for about 25 minutes yesterday. Then I cut back some bushes outside for about 20 minutes. I feel great, my pants fit MUCH better, but the scale can't make up it's mind which way it wants to go!! I'm just going to keep at it and hope I can lose what I want to by my birthday (which is coming up soon)!!

    There's a rule of thumb I heard on another thread that I remember in times like this.
    Assuming you are doing everything right, eating your cals, exercising, water etc.
    If you see a gain it's water retention, if you see a loss it's fat !!!
    There is absolutely NO scientific basis behind this but it makes me feel better when the scale is all over the place.
    This week I ate a lot of my meals out and so very high sodium and the scale had me higher than last friday every day up until this morning. I ate well and exercised all week and drank my water so I knew it was just water retention due to the sodium and it didn't bother me.

    WEIGH IN FOR THIS WEEK

    189.0

    That's a 0.8 loss since last friday and I'm quite happy with that. I knew it wouldn't be a big loss after 4lbs last week..

    Allie - Have a great time in Vegas, I'll be there next weekend for a wedding!

    Shredder - see my last post? muscles can retain water too I hear so when you have sore muscles you are retaining water, keep it up and you WILL see that hard work pay off. I know for me my weekly weigh ins are all over the place, 1lb, 4lbs, 0lbs !!! It doesn't always make much sense but in the long term it's all moving in the right direction.

    This week has went really fast for me and not so good either. I was starting to lose the "will" but after reading your posts I'm getting motivated again. Guess I should have logged on more! I've done good with staying under on my calories but not good with the exercise. My mini goal this week is to lose 2 lbs, succeed at the new challenge, work on the old challenges and log on more. It's obvious I stay encouraged by reading your posts.

    Everyone: Good job this week!

    Okay here's the weigh in... down from last week thankfully!!!

    CW 202

    Not quite to where I was the first week i weighed in but i'm getting there. My downfall is calorie tracking. I LOVE working out so that isn't a problem... but I LOVE food just as much!!! And I love fattening food... sad day :(

    but i'm working on it!!!

    **weigh in**

    LW 142
    CW 142
    GW...ANYTHING LOWER THAN 142!!!!

    I'm getting so frustrated. I've been cooking/eating clean, (despite the rest of my family's lack of enthusiasm), exercising, and loading up on water. I'm tired of seeing 142 on my scale....maybe it's broken and stuck on that number! Sure...

    Cris~ you are so right about your body eventually adjusting to the extra water intake. I've always been a heavy drinker, in this case water, but I've really upped my consumption. At first it felt like I lived in the bathroom, now I notice it has slowed. Thanks for that challenge and info!

    Allie~Have fun in Vegas! I ahve nothing but fond memories of that place...:devil:

    I'll just do better next week.

    I lost the 3lbs I lost then gained back but now they are lost again...hopefully forever. The challenge was so helpful this week, I haven't gone over my calories at all and have had one day off from exercising since Friday and I feel great!

    Great job this week ladies! And for everyone who didn't have a loss..remember this isn't usual weigh in day so maybe if you weigh tomorrow you will see a loss :) I'm hoping thats the case for me, anyway!

    I had a dream I went to weigh in and i was down 4lbs and was the "biggest loser" for the week...
    Not the case in the real world, but I still went down 0.8 lbs so thats better than nothing and better than a gain.

    Shredder, it'll come, just keep up the hard work I know you are doing!!!!!
    Allie, have a blast in Vegas!!!

    Everyone else, have a GREAAAAAAAAAT weekend :)

    Was thrown for a loop by the Thursday weigh-in. I thought I was on track for a loss finally this week, but I ate some yummy Mexican food for Cinco de Mayo. While my calories weren't too bad, I think the sodium was a little too high, so no weight loss again this week. :sad:
    Next week I will hit the 125 mark..........I just know it. :wink:

    I contribute this weeks weight loss to being able to get back to my heavy cardio/jogging this week after a five week hiatus from shoulder surgery. YEAH.

    Hi all
    did weigh in today and the same 205 however I have been off plan all week. much better today. I will not be exercising for a month at least I have a completly torn ACL and partial medial meniscual tear so will be wearing a brace for a while. surgeon said not to get surgery do to the fact I have arthritis in my knee from all the damage I have given it over the years so I have no idea what I can do now. will have to really stick to the meal plan. good luck to all

    Okay... I am extremely frustrated. I have only GAINED since joining MFP! I have been eating all of my calories and exercising 35 minutes EVERY day. I am breastfeeding my baby who is 10 weeks old... I am not sure if this has anything to do with it. ??? I was so discouraged that I ate bad today and almost didn't come on here to post. I wanted to give up :( I forced myself to come on and noticed that I wasn't the only one who had a bad week. I just hope that things start going down soon.

    Oh my goodness! I began the 30 day shred last night and I think I am going to die!! :wink:

    I will admit that I had to try it twice to get the first 20 minute workout done! I did get it done (as well as walk/jog a mile) and I am so glad! :bigsmile:

    I usually give up when things are tough, but I stuck with it. I can't wait to see what happens over the next 30 days!! If you have never tried this and are looking for a quick but intense workout...this is it! I love that it is 6 minute circuits and that each circuit is different. It keeps you from getting too exhausted! Just wanted to share!! Have a good weekend everyone!!

    jgstrawberry: I recommend speaking to your doctor about what your calorie requirements should be while breastfeeding. I personally do not think MFP calculates the proper amount of calories and my doctor agrees.

    pmortlip: Since you have to rest your lower body, do some punches (jab, hook, upper cut, etc.) because they get your heartrate up without having to incorporate your legs. Just a thought.

    Pos_Me: Way to go with losing 4 lbs. this week. That's amazing!!

    Holy Cow- Looks like Krcpugs may be the one to beat this week, -4.8lbs, I'm GOBSMACKED:noway: :noway:
    Sooooo delighted for you.

    HUGE shout outs to positvely_me -3.6 and to Bee28 -3 pounds. These are really major losses and you should be so proud of yourselves!!!

    Cchange- Don't you dare even think about losing the "will"...come on now, if I had a dime for each time wanted to throw in the towel I'd be a wealthy woman. We own this weight, but it's still just a number. Try switch gears in your approach to weight loss, look forward to the process rather then fixating on the end results...how you FEEL rather then how you look. Beauty does come from the inside and you're GORGEOUS!!!! Now, get out there today and move your body :flowerforyou:

    I was on the pity train a bit yesterday but I took my own advise, got my butt to the gym and had a stellar workout. I'm kinda like you calcote5, I tend to give up if things aren't lining up to my grandmaster plan. Not this time. I have to keep going and hope that next week I'll see some results.
    Happy Friday my friends
    :heart: S.

    I'm bummed to say I didnt lose this week...still at 145. Which actually seems quite impossible considering Ive been working out two fold and eating within my calories EVERY day...so I'm going to attribute a lot of it to water and expect a big number next week!!

    Anyways...what you've all been waiting for:

    Just a FRIENDLY reminder...if you miss two consecutive weigh-ins (meaning youve been MIA for 3 weeks) you'll be taken off the spreadsheet. If it's a problem to weigh in on Fridays for you please shoot me a message to let me know. People who havent weighed in are highlited in gray. Thanks guys!
