Happy Mothers Day to all the mum's in the group I hope you're spoilt rotten. :flowerforyou:

Checking in my results.
I decided to try not to weigh except every other Sunday, I lasted one week and cracked :laugh: so I have decided to change it to every Sunday instead. Today I got a lovely gift, I am now at my lowest weight I can remember.

1st March - 218.6
10th March - 214
17th March
24th March
31st March

Goals for the week.
1) Back to at least 4 exercise sessions.
2) Drink loads more water.
3) Continue to resist all naughty carbs.

Here is to a successful week for all of us.

SereneRose , what a great feeling! . Congrats on your accomplishment. Keep it up!. Remember ,it's a journey.

You still did not gain and that is something to be pleased with.
I bet next time you weigh you will see a big loss and it will be all the more sweeter.

I'm back to weekly weigh in's I just couldn't cut the mustard with fortnightly.

You'll get there so keep your spirit high!

No loss this week. I think I'm going to stay off the scale for a couple of weeks. I'm getting obsessed, depressed and putting too much pressure on myself. My next weigh-in will be March 25th.

I can totally understand. I'm weighing in once a month now because I had come to the point where I'd hop on the scale every single time I went to the bathroom. I think that stressing over the scale and obsessing over it, adds at least five pounds. Stay away from the scale for a while. I'm sure you'll see some changes soon.

I totally agree with you. Every morning I'm stepping on the scale. I'm taking the battery out and hiding it! I may not weigh in until April 1st.

Weekly check in:
SW: 184.8
GW: 160

March totals
03/04: 176.1
03/11: 174.2 (-1.9)
03/18:
03/25

NSV:
Trying to focus on reducing sodium intake.

I totally understand the obsession with the scale. It's so tempting to step on it
every time I'd pass it. It's can be such an evil tool. I was stuck at losing and gaining
the same 3 pounds for about 7 months. The best way to measure your progress it to use a tape measure
and watch how your clothes fit.

I too would like to join for some accountability. You all seem like a very encouraging bunch! I would like to preface my stats by saying my goals are more for toning, and replacing my fat lbs. with muscle, and losing inches in my thighs. I'm pear-shaped, and all of my fat is in my lower half. I'm at an OK weight, just too much jiggle going on in the thighs and triceps.

SW: 135 as of 3/11/13
CW: 137 ...weird
GW: 120-125 or wherever the scale settles once I incorporate weights and cardio into my schedule regularly

NSV:
- Fit into Size 6 GAP jeans I wore 2 summers ago
- See some muscle in my thighs, and wear shorts this summer without experiencing chaffing in my thighs
- Looser fitting collared shirts in the arms (tricep area)

I'm not posting stats until month end, but had to stop in and get updated. I'm in awe of all of you and celebrate your successes and feel your pain on the challenges. You're all amazing! Keep up the good work!

I too step on the scale way too much. If I stay off a day I am doing great. It changes way too much for me to be stressing so I need to check once a week max to see where I really stand...easier said than done!!

I'm right there with you. I went on the scale this morning actually : / Tomorrow morning I'm going to take my measurements and post them on here. Then I wil update them in 2 weeks. Is two weeks enough time to see lasting change in my body?

Chips are the devil food for me too! If I even look at a chip I gain weight! lol Good will power!

I'm confused whats the challenge?

This is a continuation of a previous thread. The link below will take you to the beginning of the challenge. Our leader Yana's first post explains the challenge. Good luck!

Hi Ladies,

Just checking in. I didn't lose this week which I knew because I looked at my body and saw that I was holding on to the bloat! LOL
It is that time of the month and I just let it be this week. I worked out twice so far and will be heading to Zumba fusion class tonight. Not sure what the fusion part is, but we will see. I normally workout with my Zumba DVD's at home, but I have 15 fitness classes at the gym, and decided to give it a try. I will try their strength class next week to see what it is about.

Let's do it!!!

I LUV Zumba! It is my fun workout. Enjoy your class tonight. I think when you do it with a group it is much more fun than just doing the DVDs alone.
