Merry Christmas Chellenge: 9/29-10/2 WEIGH-IN!

Not a good week for eating - just too much sugary crap and that is reflected in my weigh in - I'm up this week.
But a great week for shopping - my husband decided that he wanted to buy me a new dress to wear out for my birthday (in a few weeks) and I had great fun trying on a bunch of size 12s. But when I went to pay I discovered that I had picked up a size 10 by mistake.... but it fitted, hooray!!!!
Now I have to STAY fitting into my size 10s.
I know that sugar/candy/lollies are my biggest weakness so I'm declaring war on processed sugar for October - no processed sugar Mon to Friday!! Let's see how I go!

So annoyed with this gain, I'm so glad I have you guys & my friends & family to help me support me through this plateau and now gain. Also if you are friends with anyone & have noticed that they have not weighed in please let them know, the new page will be a little delayed tomorrow since I'm working until 10pm EST so I'll be updating & completing when I get home.
to you all!0 -
Hang in there Falisha.... I'm with you on the weight gain this week - in fact I now weigh more than at the start of the challenge.
Keep up the focus and we'll get there - that's what I'm telling myself anyway!0 -

This week is the start of some major weight loss! Have so many things coming up!0 -
Just remember you guys, that it's all in the numbers. Make sure you log everything you eat and try and use an HRM for any cardio/weight training activities. Cardio machines are so inaccurate. As a rule of thumb when using machines, I deduct 100 calories for every 30 minutes of cardio. (give or take). If you aren't losing, don't eat all your exercise calories. If you are losing more than 2 pounds per week, I would eat a bit more. Don't ever lose more than 2 lbs, per week unless you are extremely obese and when you get close to your goal weight you will have to knock it down to 1/2 pound per week.
Fact- 3500 calories = 1 lb. To lose one pound per week you need to have a 500 calorie deficit per day.
I'm sure you guys know all this.....sometimes I need to remind myself to keep me on track. Well done, everybody.

I agree I thought I was burning 3 times as much until i got my HRM a few months ago. Sure does make me more careful. I also have to remind my self to not mark all the calories since the HRM includes what we would be burning for that hour anyways.0 -
I completely agree about the HRM I even noticed a difference when I switched from just a wristwatch type to one with the chest strap. My family says I am more number obsessed than our accountant. But the closer track I keep of my numbers- generally speaking the better I tend to do.
Another thing I do to try and not get discouraged during a plateau is take my measurements, many times when the scale doesn't move I discover that the tape measure has, and I for one need all the encouragement and help I can muster to successfully ride out a plateau.0 -
Hope this week has been good for all of you. I've had a rough week which has lead me to slack on my exercising. I need to get back into the swing of things. Falisha, I stayed the same at 180.8... sorry but I don't have access to my chart right now.0
-
I agree about the HRM. I kept putting off buying one thinking it was a just a very expensive motivational tool, which it is but I love it. My calorie burn is a lot lower than what I thought and I was eating those calories. Have only had it a month and now the scale is moving in the right direction. I got the Polar ft7 with chest strap, really thought I would hate the chest strap, I'm one of those women who removes the bra as soon as I get home, have even been known to wriggle out of it on the way home. (I'm not alone here, right). I don't have a gym membership but I spent the money on a HRM. Now can walk, garden, do exercise dvd's, skip, bike all with accuracate burn. It has even gotten me out of the chair as I wonder how many calories I would burn doing ? whatever ?
So if you don't have a HRM certainly do what princesschic advises and reduce what the machine may have said you burned.0 -

current weight: 203.6. My crazy vacation days are finally over, and I have all the time now I need in the afternoons after work, so I need to get back on track this week. No more excuses. There will be a drop next week. I am determined this week.,0
