Snowflakes to Sunshine Weigh-In #9 3.4.11

Up almost 2 pounds. TOM arriving sometime this weekend. I am going to just keep chugging the water.

Last Week: 277.6
Today: 277 (Grr... I was over a lb lighter yesterday
- that's okay. I'll be back on track next week. Gonna really watch my sodium and drink lots of water. )
This weeks loss: .6

I'm up 2 pounds again. So I am officially heavier than when I started this challenge.:blushing: :sad:

Congrats to all that had losses! To all that maintained or had gains. We can do this!!!!

Today: 178
Last week: 180.5

2.5 lbs down despite hormonal water retention, in the 170s (!), a round 20 lbs down since Jan 1, 1 lb away from having lost 50 lbs since starting the weight loss, and a bit over 2 away from being simply overweight. It's part of the life changes, I hope! What I'm not so happy with is the fitness goals. More on that in the other thread.

Girls, I am really struggling. I was up a little this morning, I think like 0.4. I'm going to wait until the morning to post my official weigh in because I had a really tough workout yesterday and I don't really like to workout the day before I weigh in, but that is when my scheduled run is for C25K. I feel like I am spinning my wheels. I've been bouncing back and forth between 189-190ish. Since the beginning of January I have lost less than 4 lbs. :sad: What do I need to do to see some decent losses? I'm starting to get aggravated that my efforts are not showing on the scale. On one good note, I did run for a total of 16 minutes yesterday (although not at once. I run intervals). I nearly died and thought I was going to have a biggest loser moment and hurl.

Oh, dear, BUT: hang in there! You're seriously working on your fitness and it *will* pay off. I'm on the one hand thrilled about how my weight is coming off but also envious of those who've worked up to real gains in running fitness. I'm reading many times over, and have seen it happen for myself, that if you step up your physical activity to that degree, weight loss per se may be reduced. You may still be getting leaner, if you're eating right. Are you measuring? (And if you're really unhappy, in your place I'd certainly give the eating part a good troubleshooting session rather than the exercising part, where you're doing absolutely impressively well!)

SW: 207
LW: 198 (forgot the exact .#)
CW: 196.5


I'm 196.5, down 1.7 lbs from last week. I got on the scale this morning and when I saw that number I thought it was wrong because I couldn't believe it. I've reached my 10lb goal and I'm happy about that.

Congrats to all the losses and to those that are not seeing the results they want, don't give up! It is so worth the fight!

bump!

Loss of 3.6 pounds! Last week, I'd had a gain of 2.8, so I'm really glad to have lost that and then some!!!

You almost don't mind so much that way!! Congrats!!

down .5 lbs this week- which is not suprising since last week I lost 4 lbs. Still I'm feeling great that things keep going down and yesterday I successfully ran 2.5 miles without stopping!

SW: 246
CW: 224

Down 22lbs so far! 18 to go!

Awesome! I ran 2 miles without stopping on Wednesday and was stunned! haven't been able to do that in YEARS! Good for you!!!

So my plan of attack for this week:

diet wise:
keep drinking a min. of 72 oz of water daily, 1 cup of green tea daily, only 1 can of diet soda daily.
continue eating 4 to 5 servings of fruits and veggies daily.
continue drinking 1 protein shake a day as a meal replacement.
Do not eat while watching tv, no eating past 9 o'clock.
Only have 3 servings of bread for the entire week.
Take multivitamin daily.

exercise wise:
Fri: light cardio, strength training
Sat: light cardio, pilates, abs
Sun: light cardio, strength training
Mon: light cardio, pilates, abs
Tues: go to kickboxing
Wed: go to zumba, train with trainer
Thur: go to zumba

Aaaaaargh! Last week I was 195.8 and today I weighed in at 198 for a gain of 2.2 pounds. What the heck is going on? I am losing inches (I measure once each month) but this is really frustrating me. I have an appointment with a dietitian on the 29th but how much weight will I gain before then? Sorry guys...I'm just really frustrated.

My plan of attack this week... watch the sodium, keep drinking water and keep busting my butt at the gym. I don't know what else to do.

To all those that had losses, congratulations!

LW: 181.6
CW: 181.2
