I feel torn because I went up again! But Ive been doing Insanity WITHOUT MISSING ONE WORKOUT going on almost 2 weeks now. I did eat out a few meals this weekend, but otherwise I've been perfect. Im disappointed that the scale isnt showing it. I need to have a very healthy weekend and keep up with my workouts and just hope I drop down!
I also think my start weight was incorrect, because I have barely even been close to the 167 I was when I started. Hope everyone else did better than I did!0 -
Morning all, hope everyone is dropping those pounds! I'm finally moving in the right direction again after a 3 week stall out!!

WK 3: 3lb Loss
Going in the right direction but I've got a lot work to do this week to hit the 5lbs.
This has been the most difficult month yet since joining MFP. I hope to not experience something like this again!
Wishing everyone a successful WK 3 weigh in!!!0 -
Exercising a lot, especially strength training, can cause you to retain water in a big way. It is normal to gain a couple of pounds or more. Your muscles replenish their stores of glycogen (a source of energy for them), and hold onto extra water for each gram of glycogen. Also effective weight training causes micro trauma to the muscle fibers, resulting in inflammation. Inflammation = extra water in your tissues. Use a tape measure to check waist, hip, chest, thigh, etc to record progress without the tricks the scale can play on you.
Also, if you like weighing every day, check out Physicsdiet.com. It is a free weight tracking site that uses some statistical analysis of your daily weights to compute a moving average. It shows the trend of your weight loss over time, filtering out the ups and downs in your daily weight to get to the real trend. I find it helpful. Even when my weight is up for a given day, my trend line keeps moving down almost all of the time. Good luck!0 -

It looks like I need to adjust my calorie intake by less. Hope to get to 110 at least, that's all!0 -
Started off the month at 143.5, then went up to 145. At that point I changed my intake (increased my cals) and got back to 143.5. Then I bumped it again (to lose half a lb a week instead of 1 lb)...and it had a great effect!
Now at 142 lbs.0 -
