    Just weighed this morning and I'm at 170.8lbs, not sure if the little extra is from Easter (I tried to be good lol) or my upcoming TOM but hopefully I'll drop before next Monday :)

    looks like we're really getting a little group going here :-)

    when do you guys weigh yourselves? i weigh myself before i've had breakfast and after i've exercised, so i am the lightest it would be humanly possible for me to be.... i find that the lower number on the scale really pushes me to work harder (so that i look forward to seeing it at the end of the day when i've eaten and am all plumped up!).

    Just got back from a long walk in the state park. trails and lots of hills, I feel it in my legs and honestly right now it feels great!! Everyone seems so ready to go, I love it!

    I also weigh first thing in morning, (after trip to the bathroom of course) I usually don't work out in the morning, I work rotating shifts so I'm either starting work, or getting off work at 6 am. So, I'm an afternoon worker outer. But so far at least I'm getting it done :)

    Hope everyone is having a great day, don't forget to drink and log your water all!

    I weigh in the morning as well. I worked hard outdoors today, but I also completed my push-ups and stationary bike cardio. I have no idea how many calories I burned, I just know I shoveled sand, toted bricks, and mowed the lawn!

    So i'm just back from the gym, did 5k in 30 mins but would really like to get under that by the end of the week. I didn't manage to get swimming yesterday but hopefully will today.

    I weigh every time I go to the gym which is usually in the early hours of the morning, so I have had a full day of eating and drinking by then. So for my proper weekly weigh in I go as soon as I have woken up which is about 1430 in the afternoon.

    Have a good day everyone. x

    Hi everyone! I am in too! I am 29 (next week) with a fantastic hubby and a 22 month old little girl who is my world. I work the night shift so my contributions will probably be later than everyone else's but I promise I am here!

    Stats as of today, 04/25/11

    Height - 5'4"

    Start weight - 170.2
    R Bicep - 11.5"
    Bust - 40"
    Underbust - 37"
    Waist - 37"
    Hips - 44.5"
    R Thigh - 25"

    I am so hopeful to see these inches melt away! My goals for this week are upping my water intake to 8 glasses a day, and 30 minutes of cardio (at least!) everyday. I am so terrible with water that I think this one is going to be hard for me but I am COMMITTED!

    Good luck everyone, I look forward to taking this journey with you!

    Morning everyone! I see e have some night workers here. I also rotate month of days, month of nights. So you all wont' be alone with your late night postings.
    I am not going to be aable to get my exercise today. Work this morning and 6 hr car ride this afternoon. (round trip). So I have to be strong with my food choices.
    Joni, did you stay away from your ice box? Wish I would have been online at that time, I would have talked louder for you to stay away, especially late at night.

    All have a great day, don't forget the water!!

    Good morning! I didn't get a chance to post my weight and measurements yesterday. I took the kids to a botanical garden in Richmond yesterday and they RAN for almost 3 hours straight! I got some good exercise chasing after them! It was nice and hot out yesterday, which made me not want to eat much - YAY!!! - I needed that, especially coming off the horrible, terrible weekend of eating Easter candy.

    Weight - 177
    Upper arm - 16.5
    Waist - 38
    Hips - 44
    Thigh - 25

    Oh - my goal this week, as silly as it sounds, is too not get sucked into buying Easter candy on clearance. I have to go to Target today and grocery shopping tomorrow and I ALWAYS buy holiday candy when it is 1/2 off.

    Hi Bunnies,

    I need help. Please tell me how to break this plateau. Is my cardio ineffective? I usually walk, but I injured my heel and had to lay off and went to stationary bike. Do you think that is it? HELP! Please review my diary if you have time. Thanks in advance

    Hey Tammy, switching to bike might have something to do with it. I can feel for you with the heel pain, nothing on earth like it. Maybe you want to try to take in a few less carbs for a couple days, I know that always helps me. Carbs make me gain, period. otherwise, just hang tough and don't give up, it'll kick in again. Sometimes just takes time.

    I didn't get my exercise in today, but I knew that I wasn't so I tried really hard to have a good food day. I think I did, I stayed under cals and ate healthy food. Tomorrow back on the treadmill. Unless it stops raining then I'm gonna get outside for a long, fast walk and some yard work. Stay strong all. We can do this.

    I managed another run today (well technically yesterday as it was just before midnight) but didn't manage my swim. For some reason the knee injury I got the other day is fine running but the twistng sideways action of swimming hurts like hell. So will have to rest up on the swiming until it is better. I managed 5k in 30 mins and 5 secs though so just a little bit faster and I will be sub 30 mins.

    Foodwise I am eating pretty much the same day in day out as I work on a base where it is all provided for you. Chicken and salad is the healthiest option by far. I am going to try and mix it up a bit though so I don't get bored. I have become addicted to the Quakers Chewy Peanut Butter Granola bars and have two with a cup of tea at midnight. I might have to reassess this though if my weight loss stalls. The other thing I'm worried about is that I eat my meals backwards because of working nights. So when I get up I have my largest meal (chicken salad), then around 2230 I have a chicken wrap, then snacks of fruit and cereal bars until my breakfast of Special K, literally just before I go to bed. I don't know if this will affect my weight loss in time?? I also need to make sure I get in three meals, as sometimes because of lack of time, I don't.

    I am getting plenty of water down my neck though and a constanly on the toilet!!

    Hope everyone has a good day !

    hi tammy.
    i don't know. i think swimming may be a good one for you to do if you can. i agree with pp tho, and suggest just for a few days to drop the carbs abit to see if that can nudge you.

    AFM, i did stay away from the freezer the other night... but i really struggle with the whole snacking at night thing.

    i went for a run today- got up at 530am to go before work. i ran for 15 minutes, and just couldn't seem to go anymore. my legs were ok, i wasn't too much out of puff. i just psyched myself out. i'm totally doubting myself now, which is crap considering i bought the 1/2 marathon ticket the other day (for oct). it just seems like such a big hill to climb.
    but tomorrow i'll get back on it.

    tell me, when you're training at it says 'run for 1hr', do you think that's non-stop?

    and hodgey- i know what you mean about being on the loo- me too! at least you've got something to keep you awake at night though!!

    i don't work nights, but i am in new zealand and i do work shifts. so i'll be posting at the same time as you night shifters. i worked nights for ages (i'm a nurse) and i don't miss them at all! i'd put on soooooo much weight. pancakes at 3am ain't that good for you apparantly!

    Morning all!
    Working nights I also eat my biggest meal at night. But if you think about it, it is actually morning for us. I try to stop eating about 3 or 4 hours before I know I am going to bed, whatever time that may be. Obviously I don't know if this is going to work, since I've only been doing it since beginning of april. And my weight loss is slow compared to some of yours. 1 to 1.25 a week. But it's steady and that's good for me.

    I'm gonna get the kids to school, and get on my treadmill. Since I missed yesterday I'm going to try for an hour today. Outside that is ieasy, inside on the treadmill I get bored. But it's raining :frown: so I'm stuck. Be strong all, drink water!
