    Monday Weight In: I refuse to this week! I just started my period and feel like I weight 400+lbs :(

    Can I take this weigh in off???? Please?

    Oops....meant to quote you!

    Other things I forgot to mention!

    All the weights I've received are in the spreadsheet. I've also calculated the percentage you've all gotten towards your goal! POSITIVE percentage is OK! I know we're so used to sheering on negative numbers with weight loss, so don't worry when you see a positive number in that column! Also, the challenge is 20 weeks, so anyone at or above 5% to their goal is right on track to meet or exceed their goal weight by the end of the challenge. If not, no sweat! Some weeks will be good, others bad...it all tends to balance out (and any progress is to be cheered!!!) This column will be updated every week so you've got a running tally.

    ALSO, I'm going to add a total pounds lost to show what we've done as a group. I'll add that ON Tuesday or Wednesday when I've got all the weights in. The total lost will represent all active challengers (who's weighed in that week).

    Hope that all makes sense and sorry to inundate you with posts!!! :)

    Hey Guys!

    Had a great work out. I used a DVD from the Food Lovers Fat Loss system. A tone and burn. It was pretty good. I think I will do a Pilates DVD when I get home.

    Have a great day1

    No problem! Just remind me when you put up your next weigh-in that you're missing the next week and. I'll probably just use the next weigh-in as a place holder for that week so Excel doesn't get all angry with me. :)

    I know you might feel gross, but please, please weigh in! It's tough, BUT it really does help! You'll have a better record of how your body responds to monthly hormones- eventually the PMS gain just becomes an annoyance, but one you know not to sweat. More importantly- we've all had (and will all probably have during the challenge) a bad week, so let's tackle them together. :)

    Plus, it means next week you'll be poised to post a CRAZY loss!!!

    Ok, as of Sunday morning (sorry, I don't have the time to weigh on Monday mornings) I was the exact same... I just feel like I weight about 500lbs more! BLAH! Next week will be MUCH better!

    Hi Everybody,

    How's it going? I manage to exercise to a dvd for 15 minutes. And it got me wondering if 15 minutes is enough? I was definitely working strong, it is one of those power walk with weights, and by the time I was finished I was soaking wet. But just got me thinking if that's enough exercise.

    I did manage to stick to my calories, but I went up 2 lbs this week after getting to 7 lbs lost. Didn't make good food choices but it was disheartening to think one day could cause an increase of 2lbs. I think my sodium and sugar must have been off the charts. My head is fuzzy today as if I have been out drinking.

    Talk to you guys later.

    So not looking forward to Monday. Lost a bunch last week, pretty much because all I could keep down was chicken broth and saltines. Now that I'm back on solid food, I've gained it all back plus an extra pound. What's the point of being sick for a week if I can't at least get to keep the pounds off, you know as a consolation prize or something. Not feeling happy about this right now. :cry:

    I was under the weather last week too, so I lost a few lbs. No new loss so far, but maybe by Monday. I just started 30 DS yesterday, so hopefully that helps!

    I've been away since Thursday but still getting my workouts in. I've done Turbo Fire when I can, but not that much. Instead I've been alternating running & walking days, kayaking and strength exercises at the playground with my 18m old.

    I'll weigh in on Tuesday.

    Question: does anyone ever log in excercise for playing with the dogs. I take my dogs to the dog park a couple times a week and romp and run with them. I work up a good sweat too, but there's nothing in excercise for playing with the fur babies. Any suggestions? Or am I not supposed to log stuff like that?

    So I had my weigh in today... HOLY CRAP I SUCK! I'm still the same, but I did manage to lose another 2 inches - that makes 26 inches total!!! I don't know what I am doing wrong! FOR THE MOST PART, I am eating well and I'm definitely working out 5 days a week (except last week, it was more 5 workout sessions because one day I went 2X)... I just can't seem to lose!

    On a happy note, I tried on an old pair of size 28 jeans today (Seven for all Mankind!)... they buttoned without me laying on the bed!!!! HOWEVER (and note the caps!), they are not going to be worn in public anytime soon! But it was still a small victory!

    Can someone please explain to me how since combining strength training and cardio I have managed to lose 26 inches and 2-3 lbs? And PLEASE don't tell me that muscle weighs more than fat because from what I hear, you only gain MAYBE 1 lb of muscle per month!

    if it's part of your normal routine, I don't know if I'd log it.
    If it's something you just started doing, then log it.

    Its a recent addition to my routine. Just moved to an area with a dog park in walking distance. Figured it would be a good break from the gym to walk to boys to the park, play for a bit, walk home. I was doing some research and most sites say on average you burn 115 calories per half hour playing with dogs.

    Hi ladies! How is everyone doing? I got back from vacation Saturday, and I am still getting back in the swing of things. I didn't get a chance to post before I left for vacation, but here are my stats from last week and this week:

    Week 1 Weigh In:194
    Week 2 Weigh In:196

    I know I am still bloated from all the high sodium food and alcohol I ate on vacation. I didn't have access to MFP on vacay, but I did try to estimate my calories so I stayed around maintanence cals. Week 3 weigh in should get rid of my vacay weight and then some!
