I have noticed this week that I have been eating more and relying solely on my AM walking as my exercise, that may not cut me 2 pound goal. So I am a little hesitant about weighing myself Sunday morning!

Week One - 4/21/2013 (Weigh In)
Week Two - 4/28/2013
Week Three - 5/5/2013
Week Four - 5/12/2013
Week Five - 5/19/13




And then your optional measurements:

    19/5 _ 173lbs

    I didn't lose inches off my waist this week but I'm still happy coz I didn't think I would lose at least 1 lbs as I had a few cheat meals this week. :wink:

    Not sure why it seems that the scale has been going in the opposite direction, especially since I've been working out more. Gotta talk to the doc this week and see if its because I'm not eating enough calories.

    How many calories are you eating, can I ask? If you've bumped up your activity it's totally possible you might not be eating enough to fuel that. Or sometimes the scale just doesn't show when you've done everything right - you could be retaining water, or whatever. I see you've lost 62 pounds, so keep up the great work!

    Week One - 4/21/2013 (Weigh In) - 214.0
    Week Two - 4/28/2013 - 211.4
    Week Three - 5/5/2013 - 207.0
    Week Four - 5/12/2013 - 205.1
    Week Five - 5/19/13 - 201.8

    I haven't been doing measurements because I found my results inconsistent when I measure myself. My trainer does measure me at the gym every 6-8 weeks.

    Looking at MFP weekly Net Calories my average intake is about 1300. where I think MFP has me set to 1600 for my daily intake. I just don't know how to eat more because I'm just not as hungry. I might just have to force feed myself protein shakes. Any suggestions?

    If you're only seeing a deficit of 300 calories a day that shouldn't be enough to cause problems. According to my trainer sometimes you just plateau, so maybe you're just in a plateau. For me it always helps to bump up my water intake.

    Week 5- no change from last week- still at 155. Pretty amazing, actually, as my diet was utterly awful- I really, really have to step up in that department. This has always been my weak spot. I know I am doing it as I am eating something I shouldn't be- I will even be thinking, why am I eating this? For taste, or because of boredom? I often come up with I don't know. It is just quelling some craving. I am going to make this my priority this week- to stop it before it happens. Once it begins, it's like trying to stop a freight train.

    Where did everyone go? It seems like a lot of people dropped off. Did they stop the challenge?
    I don't know. For those who are sticking with it, ultimately you'll be healthier on Day 75 than Day 1. Good luck to everyone and work hard.:wink:

    Yea it sure has Cindylu, I dont really know what more to do. I know both the other moderators have huge problems with their families and of course that has to take priority over posting. And then with spring i know i have a tough time getting on, but I made a committment to myself, so here i am.

    No change this week.....going to kick it into high gear!!! Have a great week everyone!
  • I didn't weigh in this week, as I have not worked out since I travelled last Tuesday. I did get my burn on this morning Woot Woot! I am so stoked to see all the results. I read through them all... I know I am also down in weight and inches since my last weigh in (last week) and I will weigh in again next Sunday.

    Great work.. Even though our group is getting smaller, we that are still here will get teh results we want... Keep working and don't let anyone or anything get in the way of your commitments.

    With my lack of self control, free drinks and a trip to a casino buffet (WTF was I thinking?!) from Wednesday - Saturday, it's amazing I didn't gain 5lbs! I still got in a few work outs and I think that helped counter some of the damage I was trying to do to myself...

    I'm down only .5lb since last week. 8.5lbs since starting with the group! This week I'm totally back on the wagon...no more cheating myself!

    4/21: 201
    4/28: 197
    5/5: 195
    5/12: 193.5
    5/19: 193

    Still shrinking a little in the middle-

    Waist: 36.25

    Lost 2 lbs during the week and really really happy with that!! I scale is moving and I've been working butt off at the gym and riding my bike. I am really going to watch what I eat this week because Friday-Sunday will be a challenge because I am going to festival so I know I'm going to indulge, but hopefully not to much!!
