    Very stressed this week, I have so much going on! At the beginning the beginning of the month, because I started the 30DS shred I gained TWO POUNDS! I was not a happy bunny.

    But my target goal was to get to 130lb which means I would have to lose 12lb after I put the two pound on! However, I am now at 136lb! So have 6lb to go, it is highly unlikely I will make it, but I am going to get as close to it as possible. In the last week I have lost 4lb so I could do it but I can't push myself into a plateau which is what will happen. 6 more pound though and I will reassess whether I want to lose another 10lb, at the moment I can't see my wanting to get much smaller. My BMI is 23.41 which is within range.

    How is everyone else getting on?

    will update with a weigh in in the morning, I cant trust this morning's reading as I barely slept last night :(. I only sleep properly 3 nights a week right now as I only sleep at home those 3 nights. The other 4 I sleep or try to at my MIL's as she needs someone there 24 hours a day at the mo. The whole not sleeping really throws my weight out of whack so its not going quite as well as it has done previously. I am trying for now to eat back half of my exercise cals, I didnt use to eat any of them back so will see if it makes much of a difference in my rates of loss with being fairly near target.

    gratz to all for your dedication in improving yourselves :)

    Morning all.

    I am pleased to report I have not been able
    to go from knee push ups to feet but I have taken the amount I could do and smashed it. I am now doing about 4 different ab exercises and have yet to do sit ups in my routine because they hurt my back.

    As my wedding day came I this got a little crazy and I stopped working out. So that goal wasn't met.

    Overall I have has a great month and although I failed a lot of things I am looking forward to next month so I can use those failures to push myself further.

    I have been around 74.5kg for the passed few weeks

    Well I'm happy to report that as the month is winding down so is the scale! I've had two weeks of losses and am now at 137.4. I was really hoping to be back at 135 by the end of the month but I discovered that I was going over on sodium by tremendous amounts and once I started watching that, the scaled started moving. I'm still lifting weights or doing some form of strength three times a week and I can see more definition in my muscle so I'm happy with how things are. I've also taken the pressure off myself to stay at a "magic number" and as long as I'm under a "magic number" I'm content. Good luck everybody and thanks for letting me join in. I'm hoping that in October, I can continue how I've been doing and maybe that scale will creep down a little bit more but I'm not gonna worry if it doesn't!

    Hi guys,

    Been away from MFP for about 10 days. Boy does it make a difference!

    I ended September with a 5 pound loss. (Yay!)

    5 away from my 10 lb goal. Darn.

    I'm happy for the five and may just have my massage anyway. : )

    Reading your posts really help to let me know that I'm not alone in my quest.

    Happy Fall

    :heart: :heart: :heart:
