    I had a very similar week, with a 1-pound gain! Ugh! I've been really debating whether I should weight myself every week. I've been so focused on the scale lately and have begun obsessing. In the past, that's when I generally start falling off the wagon. Any thoughts on not weighing in for a couple of weeks?

    And I am also in the same boat of getting my workout schedule back on track. I did only 3 (and a half) good workouts last week where I normally do 6. So this week will be a week of renewal! My goal this week is to be in bed early and to get my bottom in gear in the mornings to get my workouts in.

    Hope everyone has a great week.

    I totally think it depends on the person. I noticed that when I didn't weigh myself every week, it gave me free reign to just be reckless with my eating and excercise. Case in point why I decided to do another challenge :) LOL But of course this is just me!

    Good Morning!
    LW: 194.4
    CW: 193

    The battle continues! Had TOM last week and my weight bounced all the way up to 198! Happy to see it down today. I have given myself a mini-goal to reach 189 by Canadian Thanksgiving (Columbus Day) and am really nervous that I won't be able to make it. I have been really struggling with the scale since June...I have only lost 5 lbs. And my eating is pretty good, don't go over my cals and if I do then I have to work out to eat the treat!

    This week I work night shift (23:00- 07:00) which I now use to my advantage and try to get in extra workouts in during my break at work (I bring my Walk Away the Pounds dvd) and walk 4 miles! I know I need to get in more strength training.
    Monday: P90X Legs & WATP at night
    Tuesday: The Firm dvd & WATP
    Wed: P90X Arms and shoulders & WATP
    Thurs: 30DS & WATP
    Friday: The Firm
    Saturday: WATP
    Sunday: The Firm

    Jacki I am sorry to hear that your sister is choosing to be mean to you. My brother has been doing the same thing to me for almost two years. It hurts. Just know that she is really missing out on knowing a fantastic person. Keep going forwards, you are worth it!


    This is me! I am so worried about not making my mini-goal, but honestly I thought about it and I said to myself, "It won't be the end of the world...but at least know that you gave it 100% effort!" Whether you make the goal on the date or a little after...you will still make it girl!

    Last week was a total bust for me all around! My husband cancelled my gym membership on Saturday, but you better believe I will be up there after work today to reinstate it. Also, I will be working out with one of the gym owners, as she is a good friend! Hopefully this is the kick off to getting back on track for real this time!

    Good luck this week ladies!

    Happy Monday Ladies!

    SW/LW: 158.5
    CW: 157.0

    So down 1.5... can't complain, especially since I definitely did not work out enough last week. Need to keep eating well and rev up the work outs this week and I think I will continue to see positive results. I joined a gym last week and I have my appointment with the trainer on Thursday evening, so hopefully they will give me some good ideas. I also am going to be doing Zumba on Wednesday evenings with a couple of girls from work, so I hope that will also help.

    My biggest worry for the week is that I have my first of 2 thanksgiving dinners this weekend and my grandmother is coming into town (she lives on the other side of the country - kinda by you Steph!) so I know that could be some calorie overload days..s EEPS! Hope to get another hike in on the weekend to try and offset SOME the the badness...

    Plan for the week

    Monday: Stepper
    Tuesday: (Long work day) Whatever I can get in... Stepper?
    Wednesday: Zumba, Elliptical?
    Thursday: TRAINER DAY!!! - whatever they give me
    Friday: maybe Zumba, Elliptical?
    Saturday: Hike?
    Sunday: uh.... not sure... LOL

    Good luck this week everyone! I know you all can do it!!!

    xoxo -S

    I will be weighing in today when I get home from work.

    So my biggest slip up last week was not working out enough. I worked out 3 days, I need to bust through my mid-week slump and make sure to get all 5 days in.

    Could I please get some advice? I followed MFP for my goals and it calculated 1320 calories per day for me and I am doing P90X 5 days a week. I have been finding that if I do my workout at the end of the day I am consuming too FEW calories. Like today at the end of the day I will only have consumed 800 calories. Should I increase my calories? I don't want my body going into starvation mode.

    Good Monday morning, Sexy Clauses!!

    Last week, I totally fudged on the workout routine. I ate pretty well though. But this week TOM is here, and because I know myself, I took that bag of trail mix I had in my desk drawer and tossed it as soon as I made it to the office this morning...lol. This week I WILL stick to my workout schedule AND I WILL eat right. Oh, and the scale stayed the same for me. I'm happy with that considering no exercise and TOM showing up. That scale WILL move next Monday!

    Well last Monday I was 201.8 and checked the scale on Tuesday wad was down to 199.4! Then TOM decided to come this weekend so I'm back to 200.2. I did soo well Monday thru Friday, worked out ate great! Then I slacked and didn't workout this weekend because I felt blah from TOM and I slipped and had pizza and a little Debbie Swiss roll cake yesterday :(. Stupid TOM!!! Back at it this week because next week Monday I go in for surgery to get my tubes tied and will be restricted to no working out and minimal lifting for a whole week :(

    I would increase them a tad and see how your body adjusts to it. I have a hard time eating back exercise calories and all of that so I am infamous for being waaaaaaay under my goal because I will burn 600-800 or so calories and then eat 1200-1400, and totally not on purpose! So I would increase little bu little and then see how that goes.

    Hi ladies... to answer todays question..... It's confession time.... I'm so frustrated so I'm going to vent here.... and then I'm going to kick my own *kitten* for being so stupid.... last week at our first weighin for the challenge... I was up 2 lbs from my previous wi....so I started at 179...now mind you I have been teetertottering around this stupid 175 forever and just can't get to it.... like for over a month...anyways.... I did extremely well last week... I ate within my calories, and I exercised every day....Saturday I did ok..not exceptionally great...but I did exercise... I just did ok.... yesterday I went to a country buffet place, and although I tried to make ok choices.. I know I probably still went over b/c of the type of food and the choices they had there...and I did splurge some...so the last 2 days I did ok...not terrible, but not good either... then this am I weighed and I was up another 3 lbs from when I did my wi last monday...so 5 lbs in 2 weeks.... I was so frustrated and discouraged and felt like this is just pointless b/c it's like I'm not getting anywhere...so all day today I had a "fat" day... where I just felt bloated and gross...and so at lunch my coworker wanted me to go to pizza hut with her... I did and I made a pure hogglet out of myself.... I wont' even go into detail about all that i had, but lets just say I gaurantee you it was well over my calorie allotment for the day! So now I feel even more bloated and more miserable than I did this morning, and my stomach hurts b/c my body has gotten so unused to the grease and crap that I put into my system today..... So..... since I will have to eat dinner tonight.... it will be a salad.... I'm going to Zumba tonight and plan on busting it more than usual tonight to try to burn as many calories as possible to help offset earlier today... and tomorrow is a brand new day!

    I also noticed I wasn't getting in near the water I need to....so my goals for this week is to exercise everyday.... and log everything... I've gotten so used to counting calories, I've gotten out of the habit of logging everything which is really affected me....so it's back to the basics.... exercise, lots of water, and logging everything that touches my mouth... and until I get the fundamental basics back I don't think i'm going to see the scales moving...so feel free to join in the kicking of my behind for the stupidity I've experienced over the last little bit....and from here I move forward! Sorry girls for being a slack participant in our challenge and for giving into emotions of the stupid scale and TOM that seems to be lingering on and off....it comes and goes it seems over the last two weeks... my cycles are weird b/c of my IUD..... blah!

    I totally appreciate you venting about this! It happens...no worries. I have a feeling though it is a little water retention going on...5lbs in 2 weeks doesn't sound like a normal amount to gain especially since you weren't just pigging out like crazy for the past 2 weeks! Just go back to the basics girl and you will see the weight drop, I am sure of it.

    I know I feel like this sometimes. I know for me, that once I allow myself to falter a little one day it becomes a slippery slope. I have the all or nothing attitude, which sucks because it gives me an excuse to let it all go. I think you have done the most important par though - recognized that you need to make some changes and identified what they need to be. I am bad about the water too, and I have seen that when I slack on the water, my weight goes up and I make poor food choices.

    Don't give up though! You are awesome and worth it! And you're not "a slack participant"! You were honest and have rededicated yourself! That takes a lot of strength and shows you are wanting this! So, "you go girl" (ya that's right, I went there!).
