    Well, Ill be honest. Ive had a terrible week. I gained 10 pounds according to my scale. I feel so lost. I hate this. 269 is my weigh in for January 24

    I feel your pain. Need to get back to my routine, back to the gym and get the food under control. Blah blah blah. 183lbs

    Thought I might share my journey a little ... with pictures ... this makes it more real ... and wanted everyone to know ... gaining happens ... you just can't give up.

    This was my 27th wedding anniversary. June 20, 2008 ... I weighed 230 lbs.

    Joined MFP in June of 2009 at about 208.5 lbs and the yo yo went down to ... This ... September 29, 2009 ... I weighed 180 lbs.

    226553_7100.jpg

    Then this past year I let other things take over and I yo yo'ed back up to about 206 lbs ... then I got back on track and then ... This was today ... January 24, 2011 ... I weighed 198 lbs this morning. I'm heading down in weight again.

    It's good to be back to living a healthy lifestyle ... here's hoping there will be more and more lighter and healthier looking pictures in my future. Just want to thank you all for your support. All through my yo yo'ing my MFP family has always been there.

    Question....I bought a new scale yesterday cause mine was going bonkers I use to have to weigh a million times until I had the same reading for 3 consecutive times....now it looks like it was off by about 3-4 pounds....so this morning I weighed in at 180 instead of the 177lbs I was yesterday bummer

    So should I change all my previous weigh ins...leave them or just go from now one

    You're doing great, nothing to be sad about at all...and now that you have this new scale there'll be no more messing around at weigh in time. Woo Hoo

    UUGGGHH - In the course of a week and a half I went from 194 back up to 197 and now back to 195. I am thinking that it took a couple of days to recover from the Turbo Kick I did on Saturday. Ok... feeling better for venting! :ohwell:

    still hangin out at 177.0 ... i've gotta step up my (running) training routine and cut out some of the garbage food. I've decided i am about 17 pounds from my goal of 160 --- i am 5 10 --- i think 140 will be too low AND unrealistic. So basically what i'm saying is i am not shooting for 50 lb loss anymore, but 30 overall since the start of our challenge.

    Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well today. I'm off of work on another sick day ... what a waste of my time. They don't want my germy self near them. Oh well. As for me ... my lower abdomen is a bit sore from all the sneezing I've been doing ... I may have to count it on my exercise diary. How many carories do you burn sneezing? Things that make you go hmmmm.

    no weight loss :o(

    Do you guess with all the P90 workouts that you have been doing maybe the reason? You may be building muscle and your weight loss won't reflect on the scales but on the tape measure.

    Probably...I have measured just for kicks and have lost 4 inches off of my arms :o)

    That is awesome....We can't always pay attention to the number on the scale...That tape measure will tell more!! Keep it up!!

    So sorry!!! It will get better. We all go thru those times when it is really hard to keep your mind in the "game"! That is why I love being part of this group, there are so many motivating people in here...
    Hang in there though!

    I would just go with your new scales that way you are not having to keep up with extra numbers. LOL
    But don't let that get you down, you will get back under 180....

    Well, I anticipated a weight gain. I gained 1.8 pounds. I have been working with weights a lot more and have been told since muscle weighs more than fat that I would actually see my number on the scale rise slightly. So that's fine. I can deal with that since I know that I have kept my eating under control!! :happy:

    Good morning,
    Is anyone short on motivation besides me? Maybe a small weekly challenge. Like 20 pushups a day ect. Any ideas?

    Yes I like the idea of a weekly challenge it will keep me more on track. I hate pushups, that just means I need to do more of them right? Crunches could be an option sometime too. Drinking water, etc. just a few ideas!

    Good job this week:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    I have not been pulling my share but you guys are awesome. Lets just keep this going. Some of us(me ) will probably not reach 50 but anything we lose is a big plus.

    I for one have added 25 wall pushup a day for this week. I challenge ya'll to join me.
    Besides being very out of shape, getting off the floor is a challenge. So I just do wall pushups. :laugh:
