    Well week two now, and my scale has still not moved... Very frustrating. BUT !!! Did do my measurements this morning, and seem to be down three and a half inches. Ok, so I know muscle weighs more that fat, BUT does fat have more mass than muscle....????

    Yes i agree! It would be good if we could delete the old ones! :happy:

    Well done on your weight loss!! Thats really excellent, and more than a third of the way!! :drinker:

    Dawn, don't worry! Thats excellent that you have lost 3 and a half inches!! Muscle weighs more than fat but it is leaner!! For instance 2 people could be the same height and weight but one person could be a couple of sizes smaller just because they exercised and the other person didn't!!

    Keep up the great work!

    I am somewhat disappointed over the fact that I haven't lost any weight this week. HOWEVER, my silver lining is that my stomach is quite abit flatter and less pudgy. The last couple of days I've had to look twice in the mirror there has been such a difference. Losing inches is always better than the number on the scale anyway.


    Start: November/07 -- 157

    1st week January 11 -- 143
    2nd week January 18 -- 143

    Valentine's Goal: -- 135
    Overall goal: -- 120

    I have had a bad week of not keeping track of my calories on here very well, but I've really been focusing on eating dinner at home (a frequent challenge) and packing my lunch everyday. I'm working on writing my Master's thesis and a huge portion of it is due next weekend. Daily freak-outs and feelings of having no time are not helping me at all. In light of all that, I have fortunately not gained but sadly not lost.

    Challenge start weight: 188
    Current weight: 182
    Goal: 175

    NEED TO BREAK THE 180 MARK!! HAVING DIFFICULTY!! :sad:

    Yes. There was a Christmas Challenge and now Valentine's Day. We made goals for ourselves around the beginning of the New Year (someone correct me if I am wrong on this...) After that I don't know. Maybe St. Patricks Day Challenge (to be immediately destroyed by all that green beer!)

    So here is my weigh in -

    Start - 182.5
    Current - 167.6 (only 1.4 lbs lost this week because of back problems)
    VDay goal - 160
    Overall goal - 138

    Keep it up everyone!!
