    Well, I didn't go over my calorie burn from yesterday. I was close though. I'm hoping to make up for it tomorrow. I would like to burn 650 calories tomorrow. It's only 30 more, so it shouldn't be more than like 5 extra minutes keeping the heartrate up.

    I ate something from a restaurant today, but I only ate 1/3 of it, and put the rest in the freezer. I ball parked the calories on the high level, and I'm only going to eat back 50% of my exercise calories (I'm only on the 500 calorie deficit so I'm not worried about going into starvation mode).

    Happy Friday everyone!

    Yesterday was another good day. I was over on my calories, but only by 15 calories, so I'm putting it out of my head. ;) I did a total of an hour of walking, and did a half an hour of of ST (which I am feeling today!)

    Today I am on track so far on my eating (I actually suspect I am going to be quite a bit under) and I am getting ready to leave to go to the gym to get in 45 minutes of cardio. Hope that everyone has a great weekend! Weekends are my hardest time to stay on track (it's a lot easier not to eat when I'm at work and don't have any food in front of me!) but I am going to stay strong!

    Well I don't really have a good update to post so far.... But here goes. I'm visiting family so can't really 'choose' food as I would at home, however I am having smaller portions and the healthier versions. My 30 day shred has arrived in the post... But it's at home 240 miles away.... So I have been dragging my dad for a half hour walk everyday. I have however stuck to my 'no bread' pledge so somethings going right.

    Hope everyone else is doing better.

    MY WEIGH IN DATE IS 2 MORROW BUT I'M STARTING TO FEEL DEPRESSED EVERYONE IS DOING SO GOOD BUT EVEN ON MY BEST EATING BEHAVIOR MY SCALE HARDLY MOVES. ANY IDEAS



    its not all about the numbers on the scale. i know from experience. i just came off of a 4-5 week stand still where my weight did not budge an inch! but i was losing inches. during that time i lost a total of 8 inches all over my body. if you are using weights of any kind you have to remember than building muscle is great because muscle burns fat. so if you are building muscle the scale may not move although the fat is disaparing. just keep working at it and it will start to come off again. have faith in your self and dont give up!

    Checking in - today was my weigh-in day, and I'm happy to report:
    SW (8/1): 272.5
    CW (8/5): 267.5

    Yay! Excited to be 5 lbs down, and headed toward both my August goal and my total goal!

    I've done very well with the water and tracking this week. My mini-week goal for next week is to head back to the gym, now that I have the eating a bit more under control. Oh, boy. :)

    Happy to see others with good news to report. Stay focused, and you will succeed! :flowerforyou:

    Happy weekend everyone! Hope everyone is doing something fun. On weekends, I tend to eat more and make less healthy choices. So, im making an effort to do better. So far in the challenge, I have done well with the water as well as the fruits and veggies. I still haven't gotten in a workout but I will be able to get 3 in by my weigh in day on Wednesday. Good luck to everyone!!

    Met my goal and surpassed it. My goal was to burn 650 at the gym, and I burned 667. Oddly enough, that was the exact amount of calories I had already eaten before I went to the gym today, and it was totally not on purpose.

    I did my final weigh in before Aunti Flo comes. I'm guessing things might get a bit delayed due to having just recently started exercising again. It's possible my next weigh in won't be for about 2 weeks.

    Checking in...
    This past week I didn't do TOO bad. I pretty much stayed within my calories. (until Saturday, any way... :laugh: )
    I did indulge a little too much at Chili's and ended up getting what I probably shouldn't have. I got their Cajun pasta with grilled shrimp. So yeah... over 1000 calories on that one plate. YIKES! :noway: Oh well, I'll make up for it today (sunday) by getting in some extra calorie burns. I'm not going to beat myself up for it.

    Happy note! I finished Jillian's 30 Day Shred on Friday. I lost an overall total of 9 lbs, and overall 9 inches (waist, hips, arms & thighs). Not bad really. I do have to deal with PCOS, so weight loss isn't easy. But I don't use that as a crutch... I used to, but not any more. I just work harder & try to eat better. Getting ready to start up Jillian's Ripped in 30. Took a "day off" on Saturday & will start up the new workout routine probably Sunday evening. Workouts still tend to wear me out instead of energize me, so I use them to help me to fall asleep. Also, not being a morning person, I don't favor morning workouts. :laugh: :laugh: I hope to eventually change that.

    Congrats on everyone's progress so far!! Hang in there! We can do this! :heart: :heart: :drinker:
