    156.4

    Up. So frustrated. Still super bloated. Actually I've been really bloated for like 5 days now. Also, its been months and now I seem to have pretty solidly put a couple lbs back on which is not good. Over the summer I was fluctuating between 152 and 154 and now I'm going between 154 and 156. Feeling quite discouraged today, but I'm going to try and use this to motivate me for the accountability challenge this week. And also pick up a couple green machine smoothies on the way to work and see if that will help with the bloating, I'm thinking maybe I haven't had enough fruits and veggies for the last few days.

    Glad to see everyone else doing so well!

    Up 1 lb :cry:

    CW - 172.1

    Sigh - I didn't do well on the challenge either. Training for a 10 mile race at the end of the month so I burned over 1000 calories on Saturday running 8 miles, but then my legs are exhausted for 2 days and I don't get in much exercise at all. I did try some new foods on Saturday night - unfortunately none were healthy.

    Plan for tonight - clean the kitchen, including the inside of the refrigerator :grumble:

    I really enjoyed last weeks challenge. I was not able to reach the 3500 cal burn but it jump started me back into a routine that I needed. I did try a new recipe, it was ok. I will try it again and make further modifications to it. With TOM starting I am happy to report a weight loss. My current weight...155.2.

    I am super excited about this weeks challenge. We had started doing some fall/winter prep outside. But, I have a walk-in closet that is no longer a walk-in.:noway: Hence, I will, hopefully, tackle it this week plus work on some deep cleaning. I do so/so with reporting my food. I think it's those condiments that might be getting me.:blushing: Plus, trying a bite of this and that at work, doesn't help if I am not logging it.

    187.5 today. I amexcited for the challenge too. I started deep cleaning last week and then came down with a horrible chest cold. I am slowly getting better but it will give me good incentive to continue cleaning.

    I also didn't quite met the 3500 calorie burn challenge but managed nearly 2000 so not too bad. Checking in for the week, I'm down .4 from 141.2 to 140.8.....not a lot but it's a loss!! I'm taking a vacation week this week so hopefully I'll get lots of exercise in!

    Down 1 pound this week. So I am at 177.
    I made it to 2230 calories burned this week. So I did not meet the goal but went on a long "hunting" hike with my husband on Sunday and could barely move yesterday so I know it was a good hike and used muscles that I usually dont use during running so that was good.

    nsv for me yesterday! My husband and I were playing around and he gave me a little punch in the stomach and he looked shocked and said "wow your abs are getting rock hard!" I wasn't even really flexing when he punched my stomach so I flexed and then had him re punch me and he was like "DANG!!!" :) It made me feel good.

    Looking forward to this weeks challange. I have been so busy that I have neglected the deep cleaning of my house. It is clean but not deep cleaned! Yesterday when I got home from work it was sprinkling out but I have not been out to do any yard work in a while so I went and pulled weeds and pulled out summer flowers. It was bugging me so I had to do it!

    Hope everyone has a great week!! :happy:

    :cry: 145.4 today. thats a gain of 1.6. I knew I blew it on the weekend, so I'm hoping its still sodium that I couldn't cleanse yesterday but I worked out more this week than I have in the past month or so.

    oh well, new day.

    I really let myself go this week, and it's reflected on the scale. My schedule has been crazy, and I haven't been grocery shopping in quite some time. Then I was working nights and for some reason decided it was OK to eat the chicken fingers/grilled cheese/fries/whatever that was available at that time of night as a consolation for being awake. Needless to say, it's reflected on the scale this week. My plan is to hit the grocery store today, and maybe even the gym (!), which I've skipped out on for the past MONTH. :noway: It's time to get back on track and start using this website the way I'm supposed to again.

    SW: 135.0
    Week 1: 136.5
    Week 2: 134.0
    Week 3: 132.5
    Week 4: 134.0

    GW: 129

    Weight - no change :( 152.3

    Did well on calorie burn 3200 so not quite there but not bad.

    More dedication in the food/eating department might help

    Well done to all who are persevering

    Weigh in : 179.6 Down .2-not much, but since I've been slacking on the exercising, I'm just glad I didn't gain! Good luck to all of us this week :happy:
