I've gotten into weight lifting and exercise challenges lately and wonder if "fat turning into heavier muscle" has happened. Definitely feel more toned (or is that just muscle soreness :laugh: ).
Here's to us all. :flowerforyou:

I'm not surprised. The BF and I celebrated our anniversary Thursday and we had pizza on Friday, so combining that with the fact that mother nature and I are not getting along and I'm just a big old bloated ball right now. I'm hoping to see a significant drop by next weekend though.
On the bright side, sister and I are headed to the gym to work off some aggression!0 -

Oops, forgot to update this last week! I was a bit sick earlier this week so that likely contributed to my weight loss this week, but hey - I'll take it! Doesn't look like I'll be hitting my goal for this month but I'm totally ok with that and am so happy with how this month has gone so far! I bought smaller pants and not much feels better than that.
eta: great job so far everyone! Love all of the losses and the positive attitudes 0 -

@andreaamak - very nice loss
Chuck - Outstanding work on meeting your goal.
Malia - Great idea NOT weighing if you don't feel happy about it. No use piling on mentally. We want happy folks, because my research finds happy people lose more weight. (OK, I'm not a researcher and I didn't really stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either, but I believe it to be true!) 0 -
dward,
Great job of losing weight while away on a trip. I usually put on several pounds when traveling. It’s all those restaurant meals.

Whew, turned it around. I think partly the gain was due to my lymphedema. My right leg was a lot more swollen than usual, but today it looks like it has gone down quite a bit, I knew it wasn't just over-eating as like I said, I didn't consume enough calories for that amount of gain! I don't think I will reach 226 though, but as long as I end the month lower than I started I will be happy.0 -

That is a nice surprise, especially considering Valentines and my birthday! Does anyone else get that jolt of happiness when they drop to a new number. I'm used to it bouncing around a lot so when it drops to a new low... what a rush! lol! 1 week to go and 6 lb to goal weight. Probably not going to happen. That's fine. My goal was overly ambitious, for my general rate of loss. I'm just happy the scale is not bouncing back up over 240 anymore.0 -

Well, this was a rough week. My medicine for swelling was cut in half - which is blood pressure medicine. I've started swelling again, ERRRR. But my BP was so low it wasnt good. So, the swelling should go away with this wieght loss. Plus, I wasnt as good at following the UofM plan like I was the frist 2 weeks. I'm back on track and hoping things get back to 'normal'0 -
I just want to throw in some perspective. I'm seeing a lot of comments about not making goal this month. These things happen to all of us. It just looks like this month it may be happening to MORE of us than in the past.
The important thing is you have KEPT GOING. You have continued to work your programs and whether it is reflected on that nasty piece of equipment known as a scale is of minimal importance.
I have known those who disappear when things get rough. None of us feel like posting when we hit these down times, but in some ways it is more important than ever. Kind of the "Fake it until you Make it" mentality that will carry you through.
So, if you are still here and posting during these tough times, kudos to you! If you are still powering on even though you aren't making this arbitrary goal we set for ourselves, an even bigger kudos.
Remember, the only way to fail is to quit working the program.
Good fortune to us all.0 -

Hate posting an increase but I am good with the numbers. I started back on my treadmill this week and I still think I can pull off my goal for the end of the month. And for a NSV this week I was able to pull out some smaller clothes out of the suitcase and today I am wearing a huge smile to go with my smaller jeans and shirt.

Well, this month is going to be chalked up to "sometimes the formula just doesn't work". Been hitting the gym regularly, working with the trainer, and staying under my calories, yet it's been the slowest loss month thus far. No matter, gotta keep on keepin' on and next month will be better :-)
