Another great week for the team, I only saw one person who did not lose weight.

Renae and AMCMillan earned biggest loser honors. You two win the honors for coming up with a new challenge.

As for me, another week where I let myself go, I think part of my weight gain is sodium related, so I plan on big numbers next week.

It was 364 days ago I started my second diet of my lifetime. I started at 230 pounds, and I got as low as 187 pounds. I have now gained back 12 after going into "maintenance mode". As of this morning, I am back at it hardcore. All calories and exercise recorded in MFP. The new goal is 175, and I plan on getting there in 12 weeks. Back to 5 day exercise routine versus the 3 day routine, and back to the proper nutrition.

    Thanks for the chart Jack.

    Congrats to all the losers this week. I don't know how I personally managed to lose 1 pound since I have been sick and eating everything in sight. Maybe that's the trick. :)

    Hope everyone has a great active week. Hawkeye

    sometimes people don't realize the impact of just a few words.


    In all fairness... i didn't weigh in last week... and i lost 1.3 lbs last week. and 1 this week. i still challenge everyone to drink PLENTY of water... something im struggling with again.

    I can relate to you Jack. I have been trying hard for 4 weeks and have only lost 4 pounds. I expected at least 2 per week. I think sodium is the curse for me also.

    Thanks for the chart

    Thanks for the chart Jack.

    My challenge to everyone this week is to eat at least 2 pieces of fruit or vegetable each day.

    Man I am hungry. I ran today, but only half of what I normally do.

    Tomorrow I have a business lunch at J Alexanders, and everything I usually get there has about 3000 calories in there. Gonna have to figure out which salad I can eat. Then going to Jason's Deli, where i know how to eat healthy.

    Good luck J ack. Ah temptations. I am sure you know how to do it since you lost 34 pounds. I too am super hungry this week. Maybe it is hte change in the weather here in Canada. 32 degrees most days and skiffs of snow.
    I am down today again so I am happy.

    Happy Wednesday all...Having a rough week. My food intake is okay but I missed my class today. I'm very stressed. I will try to get in some exercise this evening but it is definitely grocery day so I will do my best. Hope you all have a good day.

    I survived my fancy lunch, ate some Tai Salad that was suppose to have less than 500 calories, but I swear it was too big and too good to be that healthy.

    PS, since I am back on the diet hard core again, I changed back to my fat BEFORE picture.

    Morning all...Back to boot camp for me today. I have had a very stressful week. I've had to deal with fraud regarding my checking account. I had to close an account that has been open for 13 years. What a mess. I think we finally have it straightened out but it took a lot of time and sleepless nights! I am sending the rest of this Halloween candy with hubby and kids today. I am grabbing a piece every time I walk through the kitchen, which really adds up. I have been trying to track it on my food diary but that is a joke. I'm chewing faster than I can log it lol. Hope you are all doing well. It's almost FRIDAY!!!

    P.S. Today I try out my new HRM. I'll let you know how it does.

    Just finished W5D2 of C25K. Just thought I would post short, then off to the shower. Burned 393 cals today.

    Haven't had a good week, up 2.5 pounds, I think last week was a fluke weigh in. Going to reasses my weight goals this afternoon, I think I will go for 1/2 a pound a week then if I do hit a pound it will be a bonus.

    Well I am up 2 pounds today. Last week I think was a dehydration fluke, but oh well. Still had a great week. Worked out for over 250 minutes this week so that is good.

    Didn't feel like doing much today, plus my knees are sore, and my back isn't sitting right but can't get into chiro till Tues, so I just did 30 minutes on treadmill at 3.5 (so i could read) and burned 251 cals.

    154.6 this week.

    Hi all...Had my son's soccer banquet tonight at Pizza Inn so of course I ate too much. I missed my class this morning because I had to get my work done by 2:00 (still didn't get it finished on time). Tomorrow is going to be sunny and 73 here so hope to get in a hike and enjoy some sunshine. Hope you all have a great day.
