Week 5 weigh in

Hello again, everyone! Sorry for the continuing 'situation: silence' that's happening from my end - still trying to sort out those 'little' things, like a washing machine, fridge and internet! Hoping (who knows?) to have everything sorted by next Saturday, so I should be able to post pics next weigh in. Anyway, onto the stats:

SW: 125kg
LWW: 123.7kg
CW: 122.0kg
Loss: -1.7kg

Exercise: 4.7hours
Average: 37 mins/day
Water: 5 glasses (whoops)
NSV: Not compulsively stress eating

A couple of very low water intake days took my average and destroyed it! Won't be doing that again!

I'm loving the gym and pool at my apartment complex - trying to do 60-80mins per day, 6 days a week. We'll see how I go. :smile: Definitely feeling a difference in the way my clothes fit, and the way my body carries mass. Hope everyone else had a good week! Good luck to all the Aussie members - keep hydrated and cool this week!

Can't wait to see our scale and non-scale victories this week!

    Yay for a pool and gym! That's awesome. I wish it were swimming weather here, but alas we just got dumped on yet again with a ton of snow. Fortunately it looks like it's melting off quickly.

    Congrats on the loss!

    Kudos to you for still losing while "sorting things out!" You still manage to check in regardless.
    Like skittles said, yay for a pool and gym. I know once you get settled you'll make great use of them!!!

    We got dumped on pretty bad as well. Just when we are at 40 degrees today and the snow is starting to melt, the weather man calls for more snow this week :ohwell:

    CW: 230.2 (-2.4 this week and -7.2 since 01/05)
    CGW: 220 lbs
    UGW: 180lbs

    There are about 8 weeks left in the challenge and I have 10.2 lbs to reach my CGW. That's averaging about 1.3 lbs per week, which I WILL accomplish!!

    My February Goals:
    1. Drink 64 oz or more everyday.
    2. Add toning and vigorous cardio to my regimen.
    3. Daily squats.
    4. Be more conscious of my salt intake.

    Great job everyone!

    SW: 228
    CW: 218.4 (down .8lb from last week)
    CGW: 215 (changing this to 210)
    UGW: 160ish

    Meh. According to my daily and weekly deficits I should have lost about 2 lbs this week, but I did lose a lot last week, so we'll see what next week brings. I lost 10lbs in January, so I really can't complain. :) I'm changing my challenge goal weight from 215 to 210. I had purposefully lowballed it because of my intense school schedule, but I've managed to stay consistent with my eating and working out in spite of grad school.

    Goals for the week:
    1. Drink my water bottle every day and not just at the gym. I've been horrible about hydrating.
    2. Make it to the gym at least 3x.
    3. Start the 10k training plan and continue the February "Lose the Love Handles" fitness plan.

    I get my 10 lb reward this week! I'm finally getting my eyebrows done. They need some serious help. Anyone else rewarding their progress so far?

    So far everyone's dropping at least a little, and some quite a bit, so good work!

    Loss so far: 5.1 lbs.

    Feeling good. January was successful as far as I'm concerned. Five pounds is a good dent into my 12 pound goal. Seeing what I'm capable of makes me think I could possibly have a 14.5 pound goal (which would take me into the 180s). Can't wait to see what February brings.

  • Looks like there will be no new weight loss in the near future. Currently 8 weeks pregnant. :smile: Focusing on being healthy and getting some activity in will be the goal for now.

    I thought I didn't lose much this week, but I think I just weighed in during a dip last week (-5 lbs last last week) and it's evening out this weigh-in. This week's numbers reflect my average loss a little more accurately; I'm still exceeding my goal of 1.5/week by .26/week.

    Last week I started carrying a 25# pack with me whenever I walked, and just last night I upped it to 37#. I'm not sure what kind of difference that's going to make for caloric burn, but it's definitely going to get my legs/back in shape for a summer full of backpacking.

    Hello all, I didn't weigh last week since I was out of town. however, there has been no change in weight for last two weeks.
    tomorrow, new game plan.

    1. Exercise EVERY day. I started with a hike today. whoo hoo... I can get through the next 5 days with exercise.
    2. no alcohol Monday through Friday. I am certain this is setting me back.

    Just those two goals and see where I land next weekend. ;)

    have a great week everyone and congratulations on you weightloss, or just for being here if there is no loss.

  • Good Morning All;

    SW-377
    CW-370.4
    CGW- Looking to loose 10-12 lbs this month! So: 360-358 is where I want to be.

    :explode: My Plan of Attack:tongue:
    1. Meal Prep; I want to prep as many meals in advance as I can( this automatically reduces my sodium intake)
    2.I plan to walk on my breaks at work( round 15 mins); Twice Daily; Mon- Fri
    3.I plan to drink 64 oz of water daily
    4. Stay within my calories daily
    5.Track every weekend( weekends seems to be my fall off times..but I plan on working to continue to Track- 7 days a week.


    So overall I am very excited; I am aiming high with the 10-12 weight lost goal for this month, but I really plan on taking it one day at a time and work on being consistent! :laugh:

    SW: 207.7

    CW: 203.3 (-1.1 lbs, -4.4 lbs total)
    GW: 190 (at end of 90 days)
    UGW: 150

    One of my goals was to actually start excercizing, not just think about it, watch someone else do it on the DVD or walk around the block and call it good. I completed Week 1, Day 3 of C25K. I kind of forgot how much I enjoy running (in small increments for now) and can't wait until I can go some distance before keeling over.

    My 2 year wedding anniversary will be 3/3 and it would be nice to be back to wedding weight. Only 8 lbs left to go!

    Gained 1.2 lbs this week which I somewhat expected after the splurges. I am back @ it this morning and will try to double up as much as I can with the exercises. Hoping for at least 1.2 loss this week to get me back where I was.

    I am at 248 the last time I weighed, I am not moving the scale and becoming very discouraged. I am not giving up, I will figure this out. I don't seem to have the support system I had at home anymore. I need someone in my face. I know my eating habits are improving, I am managing to stay under calorie goal each day. I need more exercise, but have been in so much pain with my shoulder lately there is only so much I can do.

    well my vent is over for now.

    On a better note I am proud of everyone in this challenge for sticking with it and moving that scale.

    Hang in there, Hope! Do what you can with the exercise, but let your body heal. Sometimes the scale is just slow to catch up to the effort. (Stupid scale!!) You CAN do this!
