    I would like to have lost a bit more. I've kept a consistent 1/2 lb loss the past two weeks so I feel pleased with the results. Atleast I'm losing. I have 1lb/week programmed for my calorie limit and kept pretty much around that number except for one day (Saturday.) I've seen a lot of posts regarding overestimation of calculated exercise calories so maybe this is where the numbers are skewed. I usually end up saying I did something for less time than I do just because the calories seem high. I also started P90x again last Thursday so I'm hoping this first week was me adapting and gaining some muscle. I can't wait to see what happens this coming week and what my next weigh in will be.

    Good luck to everyone else!

    Well no loss this week but TOM came to visit and I did not gain either. Maybe next week will be better.

    My weigh-ins are always from my most recent personal weigh-in. I'm in a bunch of different challenges that all have different weigh-in days but I only weigh once per week. So this is my weigh-in from the weekend and I am soooo hoping I am down to 138.0 by next week. I'm trying so hard to beat this plateau!

    Edited to add: I got in my extra glass of water each day!

    It is ok. I got the phone call for a job interview last Wednesday and the interview was yesterday. It is a job I have been trying to get for over 2 years. I gave into stress eating and stressed a lot. I was over calories some days and very close others.

    Last week I saw no change, so I'm excited to finally see something out of the scale. I'm just trying to keep eating good and exercising . . . I just keep telling myself to "stay focused on the prize"

    You know they say you can gain a lot of weight on cruises....unfortunately "they" are right. Oy. That's over 7lbs.... fortunately I think a lot of it is water weight since I've already lost 4.6 lbs since monday! Plus its tom so that doesn't help....hopefully I'm back next week around 150 if not under. Soooo frustrating. But i did have fun.

    A little late checking in because I have been at the beach for the last couple of days and didn't have time to log in. I stayed the same weight dang it! That is typical of my cycle so I am going to chalk it up to water retention and know that I will be back in the game next week!

    I'm a little late getting on...I was traveling for work (again!) and didn't have a scale. I am posting today's weight, but it probably is the same as last Wed...because it is basically the same as the Wed before! I have been stuck forever! I talked to a dietitian this week and she suggested I bump up my daily calories to 1600 from 1200...it makes me nervous, but I am going to give it a shot!! She said I may see a gain for a week or two while my body adjusts...anxiety attack! This will be a good way for me to track it!!

    I am not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow, i know there will be a gain this week, tom is due & i feel like ******* (insert what any word you like) for 4 days now. burn my hand @ work on Sunday got bk from a & e (just to cheek it was fine & i went to work Monday) for mum to tell me my cousin had died & is no longer in any pain (cancer). i have been having migraines from hell that wont shift (tom related & normal to happen) so im going to have some food take another pain killer wait an hr then go to bed.

    I want to go on a hike so bad but I just can't fit it in this week. I will keep it in mind for in a few weeks when I have time to get out into nature!

    Good job everyone! I'm not looking forward to weighing in. I actually am waiting until after work since I'm pretty sure I will weigh less later in the day. The past week hasn't been too friendly on my diet, but I feel I made the best decisions I could. Tom is coming soon and just hoping to get through it as fast as possible. Workout time has been very scarce. I just need to bite the bullet and wake up at 5 to work out before work.

    Good luck to everyone who hasn't weighed in yet.
