    It took a while to find the thread again. It's on like page 5 or something. Hopefully with us all posting it will keep it up top till everyone finds it. I wish this site had a button that took you straight there.

    Anyway, welcome to the new people. I post my weight as I lose it. I don't have a specific day and I don't post gains. I do weigh everyday cuz if I don't I won't keep my motivation to avoid temptation and stay on track.

    I'm not working out this week cuz I'm getting over some terrible jet lag. By next week I will be back on my game and hopefully push through the last 14lbs I have left to lose in the next 2 months. That's 7lbs a month. Hopefully that's not too hard of a goal.

    I'm down 1.4 lbs this week, which brings me to 11 lost in July and August so far. I am aiming for 20 lbs lost for the challenge, but would love to lose more than that. More weight-lifting and cardio this month!

    Have you been doing the same thing for 5wks? As in you're eating the same way, no days off, exercise is the same etc. Your body could be just hitting a plateau or getting too use to what it's getting. If you haven't had any days off in a long while I would. Nothing too crazy but eat something you like for dinner or have a that extra piece of pizza or glass of wine. Your metabolism needs a wake up. Also if you're exercising you may need to change it up for a week or so to give your body and muscles a jolt. Other than that you could just be in a rut but I'm sure you'll get over the hump soon. Good luck.

    I think it may be the exercise that is doing it. I have tried everything food wise, zig zagging, eating more, eating less, not eating at all. I have been constant with the same exercise though as I just finished the 30 day shred yesterday. Hopefully the new none shredding me will start to lose again.

    Well I'm not losing weight currently. I haven't been as good this week I think. But I did start my exercise back and I'm losing inches. Hopefully I'm just building muscle. This weekend is going to be busy and I'm not sure I'll be able eat as well since I won't be home much. Hopefully I'll see some weight loss next week.

    Check your measurements and the fit of your clothes after doing a muscle-building program, because you will often lose inches even when your weight stays the same.

    I'm convinced that's what's happening to me. I'm losing inches but not really any weight. I hope my body adjusts soon and the weight starts dropping again. Now to get off my butt and go work out. Soooo tired.

    As much as I like to see the numbers on the scale go down, I need to keep in mind that this should be a fat-loss journey. I want to keep all my muscle, and maybe build some more. Losing weight from muscle is counter-productive. The fit of my clothes means more to me than my scale weight. I still really want to do well in the pounds lost challenges, but need to take pride in all those inches (and sizes!) lost. I'm in the best shape I've been in for over a decade, no matter how much further I have to go.

    Together, we can do this!

    I agree. I love seeing that I look thinner even if the scale doesn't show it. I love that I'm forced to buy new clothes cuz mine are getting too big. I love when my hubby puts his arms around me and gets a surprised happy face cuz he notices I'm smaller than the last time he did that. I love that some of my favorite shirts finally fit properly and some older ones are now too big. I can't wait to see the more final product once I've gotten to where I want to be. It's all about how you feel and look and the scale is a nice bonus. But I still check it every day. I need that motivation to stay on track and not cheat.
