    Ok all I joined this challenge at the beginning of the month and so far I have lost 4 pounds last week and this week I’ve gain 2 of them back. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. From my log ins I thought I was doing well. They show that I really haven’t gone over my daily intake a lot and with the exercising I am burning the fat so WHAT’s WRONG! I Need HELP with this.

    I will be on vacation in 10 days on a cruise & I’m not sure what I’ll weigh when I get back if I don’t work this out before I go. What should I be eating & when? HELP!!!!!!!

    I'm down just 1 pound this month so far. I really need to commit to some sort of workout schedule.

    timbotina... That's really inspirational! I'm a size 18 right now. :drinker: (24 when I started) I'd be happy to get to a 16 or a 14 right now. I've got a few 16 pants that I really want to wear!!

    I am throwing my scale out the dang window!

    Oct. 1st- 140lbs.
    Oct. 8th- 140.4lbs.
    Oct. 15th-141.2 lbs.

    I am going to act like this weigh in didn't exist. Otherwise, I know I will get down, and in turn I will want to eat junk! Just frustrated cause I do so well during the day, then the night comes n I feel like I black out and eat anything that comes in my sight. I need to get off my lazy butt and get back to the YMCA. The plan of working out at home is not working.

    GRRRRR. Only 1.4 lost this month!!! I'm not going to get discouraged though cause I know I'm doing everything right (calories and exercise) so the scales will start moving...whenever. I just did W3/D1 of C25K last night and kicked tail, started 30 Day Shred this week and keeping up my normal workouts so I feel physically great!

    Keep up the good work everyone and happy Friday!

    Keep at it everyone! I had a great workout today, which allowed me some extra calories at dinner, which was really nice.
    I am throwing my scale out the dang window!
    Hang in there, ammayse... I'm back to where I started at the beginning of this month. We'll do better tomorrow. I want to join a gym too. Classes and memberships are more inspiring that solitary DVDs and lone walks, I sometimes feel.

    No weight loss this week, but some really good wins: I did log in every day, I did workout three times (which is 3 more than the last month), I did record everything I ate and I did weigh myself every morning. (I know there are different opinions about this and it doesn't work for everyone, but it does for me and Dr. Oz recommends it.)

    So I met my goal of staying conscious.

    Group hug to everyone - we are trying to change some very entrenched patterns and it does get frustrating. We are all so kind and supportive to everyone else on this thread and sometimes very unkind to ourselves.

    Brunette Wife, my thoughts are with your family.
