Coolchick, sorry you had a rough week, but it sounds like you're handling it the best you can.

No change this week, but I had a large loss last week and I think there may be some hormonal mischief going on. I've felt "off" this week; I bumped up my weight in my Bodypump class on Monday, and it's made my body feel very tired and sore in the "oh I pushed myself too much there" way. And there was the night I just started crying to my fiancé about how I'm frustrated none of my clothes fit right and I don't feel good in anything I own (oh yeah, the crazy hormones are here). Plus building stress in my school/work situation.

NSVs: Got a few new items in a smaller size, discovered jeans in my closet from 3 years ago (my "skinny" 200lb days) that I fit into, bought a belt so no more hiking up pants every single time I move, and I took some measurements (official measurement day is 1st of month) and there is definite positive change. So even though this has felt like a terrible week, there is plenty to be proud of.

Hope everyone else had a decent week!

I'm down for the count. I truly hate being under the weather. I'll continue to log because I don't want to ruin my streak. Can't wait to get better.
I've got 13.2 lbs to reach my goal and 5 weeks left in the challenge.

Hang in there, ladies! Don't let the emotions (hormonally induced or otherwise) drive your actions. You can do this and get through this! Mel - get well soon!

I'm pleased with my week. Only a small loss, but that means I was still very successful in navigating two major food events is week. (That said, I'm going to be well over goal today, but that's post-weigh-in! )

I didn't think last week was going to be that great, but it turned out pretty well! This week starts a more active schedule, so we'll see how that affects things. Gotta keep powering through. I'm really starting to see a difference in my body. My clothes are starting to fit better, and it makes me want to keep going so come May when it's warm I'll be able to wear my cute size smaller shorts.

I'm proud of myself that even though I have a crazy schedule right now I am making time to feed my body wisely and get it moving most days. I know the old me (even the me a few months back) would have said, "I'll focus on this stuff later when I have more time." Well, I made time!

I can't stress how much this group motivates me every week. I may not be able to reply to everyone's entries, but I do read them. Y'all are doing so well staying positive and kicking *kitten*.

Honestly I am just here at this point!!!! I know I probably..gained.. dont even want to go near the scale..but I shall push until the very end...March is around the corner and i am looking forward to a fresher start...so no changes that I am willing to look at this time..so if you wont tell..neither will I! :embarassed:

Congrats on all the losses. Sorry to hear some of you and Cool chick had a rough week. I am not travelling for work this week and its so much easier to diet! I did a smoothie fast Monday and increased my water intake. Have been good at getting to gym this week.
