12 Wks Till Summer Challenge - 11 Wks To Go!

Alright, so honestly I have been weighing everyday, and I ate a lot yesterday, so today's weigh in was about a pound and a half extra from yesterday's weigh in. The difference? 160.8 vs. 162.2...I suppose I'll have to put today's weigh in, but I would much prefer to put in yesterday's. Ugh....darn food. I think I'll update my weight on Sunday too.

Did not do so well. Was down to 133 on Tuesday, but as usual, the yoyo effect is happening. Would like to think its muscle but will wait to take measurements until next week. A big Congrats to everyone meeting their goals!!!

I gained a pound this week. My DH and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary, but I didn't think I went overboard *that* much. Perhaps it was salt.

Oh, well, moving on. . . .

Weighing in: 146

Why did I gain weight?

I was ultra skinny until college, and could eat whatever I wanted. When I got to college I was 110, I just continued on eating whatever, but even worse now that I wasn't getting my 3 square meals from my mom. Plus, add in all the drinking... I remember 2 years later I had a summer internship and the shipping dock had this huge scale for weighing shipments. As a joke, the guys would weigh in after coming back from lunch, one day I bravely stepped on.... 150! So, after seeing that number on display for the whole shipping doc to see (it was a big red digital readout on the wall, about 10 feet up), I got serious, quit smoking, joined some athletic clubs, started a meal plan with my roommates, and by the time I graduated college I was 130. Since college, I have mostly been 135-140, but after a serious 6 months of effort, I got down to 127. Then I got pregnant. I had morning sickness pretty bad and all that seemed to help was lots of carbs. I was up around 185 at the end of my pregnancy, and 6 weeks later I was 140. Breastfeeding kept me there without too much other effort, so I got back into poor eating habits., but then just before Christmas, I stopped nursing and immediately gained weight. Now I'm 146, and I would be thrilled to be in the 130s again.

I posted this in the wrong thread. I had hoped to lose more but I started using weights 1-2 times a week, my cloths are still feeling like they are getting loser.

Hi Everyone,

Update on the 12 weeks Till Summer Challenge. By the way I am 4'11 and 1/2". Almost 5'...lol. I find it is more difficult to lose weight being short, it seems to take me longer than my taller friends

I didn't lose a pound last week. I bought the 30 day shred and will start that this week. Hope it helps!

Starting Weight: 140
Goal Weight: 125
