1) SW:250
CW:241 Loss this week 2 lbs

2) I started working with a trainer at the gym this week. We worked on my legs and they have been so sore since then. I go back on Monday to meet with him again and hopefully work on another part of my body. Ive continued to do my cardio though and hoping to push through this pain soon.

3) I think adding the personal trainer into my journey is something that will keep me motivated. Learning new exercises to help me reach my goals and look wonderful is something i'm very excited about!

1) SW: 165 CW: 161 (down 1 lb since last week)

2) No major changes. Just trying to keep within my calorie allowance, which is relatively easy except when I eat out, and go to the gym/aquafit/yoga/etc. 5 days a week.

3) Motivation-wise: the fact that I'm heading to Hawaii in 11 days in keeping me motivated at the moment. Also the fact that I tried on some clothes that I haven't worn in a while because they were too tight, but they now fit again has been good for the motivation. But the biggest motivation is that I love working out again. It feels good. The watching what I put in my mouth will be the bigger struggle.

247/244 so only a half pound down


the only thing different I really did was start paying better attention to my logging, as I has started to seriously slide - and the results are very clearly slowing in the numbers

I know just redoubling my efforts will get me back in gear. At my weight there is no reason why at least another 20 pounds or so shouldn't be pretty much sliding off of me if I do this correctly. I assume of course that it will get harder as I go, I think I would like to add some lifting little further down the line to help distribute things as I go.

SW: 154.2 (last week) CW: 152.6 Loss: 1.6 pounds this week.

There must be something about weighing in on Mondays that is a problem for me... Yesterday (Sunday) I weighed myself in at 150.4 which was the bottom of a steady decline all week... I didn't do GREAT eating Sunday evening, but I didn't do terrible. Not two pounds in one day terrible! I was about 400 calories over my 1200 goal, so not as much of a deficit, but still a deficit... I burn about 1850 calories a day just sitting here, AND I did over two hours of cardio this weekend.

So once again I'm confused. And a little frustrated. I had the same issue last week. Weighed 152.4 Sunday and 154.2 Monday. I made sure to drink plenty of water this weekend, because I thought maybe that was the issue after last weekend. I don't weigh my food, because I don't have a kitchen scale, and I think my roommates would really think I had gone off the deep end. But I do measure my food, and count out the things that I can.

I guess I should be grateful that I am losing, even with the crazy weigh-ins, it is just frustrating.

EDIT: Or maybe I need a new (more reliable) scale! What kind of scale do you all use? Mine is a cheapy ($10, I think) from Bed Bath and Beyond.

The weekend killed me. Went to my friends cabin was all geared up to count calories and do great. Ended up not doing great. Fact that the cabin is under going construction we went out for a few meals. Yes I could have just had a salad and nothing more, but I was like hell I haven't had a real meal in some time. Plus drinking does not help at all. How come it is so easy to put this weight back on? Is it always going to be like this? Monday I just had a craving day. We all women know these cravings. So I hope some of the weight I did put on was just bloating.

I have gotten back to the gym yesterday. Put in an hour in and I'll do the same today. Kicking my butt in gear this week to get back on track.
