Well I'm still 195, I never lost anything! I will definitely have a loss next monday.... The weekends are so tough for me! I list the weight once before and I will do it again! My eating was better than usual and I did exercise. I'm doing extremely well so far this week it just takes me a couple weeks to totally break my bad habits!0

I feel like I have gotten a REALLY slow and bad start to this week. All I can do is start fresh and and not the past days put me down! I am so going to lose again this week Hope everything is going well for everyone!!0

Weigh in for this week (sorry it's late): 274.4
Sooo busy with work (50 hr this week). Therefore, not able to do the exercises every day. I'm still planning/hoping to catch up when I have a lighter schedule. And we also lost Internet so not able to update every day.
On the bright side, I'm losing weight like crazy. I've just cut out soda (well, I have had a diet drink or 2), and kept calories low. Maybe I'm burning more at work than I thought?0 -
Hey everyone!
Was all ready and set to go to Bikram Yoga today...But didn't make it on time from dropping the twins at preschool...It's ok though because this week I am really paying attention to what I am eating and although MFP advises to eat ALL your exercise calories back, I think this has been a problem for me ever since I hit my plateau in June.
Back on the elliptical Sunday and am pretty confident I will have a loss maybe not by this Monday coming but the next!
You ladies all rock!
Keep up the great work

I went for a 5 mile walk with the twins, did the 30 push ups from yesterday, 80 squats some with weights, 30 lunges each leg and 70 crunches some with wieghts0

Wait a minute... Two of you in this group have twins!!! I am so jealous, I always wanted twins! I have 4 kids now and got my tubes tied so no chance now but wow... that would be so much fun!
I've been slacking... Haven't done much for exercise yet this week. I'm on it though. I'll check back soon0 -
I dd 30DS and was able to run 2 miles today!!! I also did a quarter mile warm up and cool down. I think i could have gone another quarter mile but was running late for class lol I will walk the other mile tomorrow morning.
I have a question: I just started grad school and have been going to many social events. Theses events are not only social gatherings but also involve food(mainly junk food) and drinks =/ I avoided an event yesterday because I didn't want to be around the food, but I dont want to NOT hang out with these people its just that I can't really handle being around the food. Does anyone have tips for how I can better handle these situations?0 -

If you have hand weights, you could do shoulder presses... they work the same muscles.Im not at the fitness level to jog 3/4 miles but I will aim for 2 and walk the rest. Also I dont have a pull up bar so I will find an exercise to replace that move.0

That is so hard for me too! How often do you go to them? If it's once a week or less, I don't think it's a big deal to indulge a little. But if it's more often, I would really limit how many I go to until I have good control over what I'm eating. And make sure you are logging everything you eat. That helps me to not eat so much knowing I will have to log it.I dd 30DS and was able to run 2 miles today!!! I also did a quarter mile warm up and cool down. I think i could have gone another quarter mile but was running late for class lol I will walk the other mile tomorrow morning.

Hey everyone,
hope you had a good week and weekend.
I have a real reluctance to counting these days. i know my week wasnt perfect, but basically I can't be bothered on the weekend to record all my foods. I know i'm not terribly over my limit, as I have overcome my biggest problem: sweets. I hardly eat any now, and if not the huge amounts i ate before. And I also have measured most of my regular meals and snacks, so I know how much I can afford to eat.
Any advice/thoughts on how to get motivated to count or do you also have days where you don't count and you're fine about it?
Thanks and happy weigh in tomorrow.
Below my achievements (and not) for the week.
Tuesday- 30 Pushups CHECK (Wed morning)
Wednesday- 80 Squats/30 lunges each leg CHECK
Thursday- Jog 3 to 4 miles - FAIL, will try and do today (Fri)
Friday- 8 pull ups, 40 pushups - CHECK (10 reverse push ups instead of pull ups)
Saturday- 50 jumping jacks, 20 burpees, 40 squats - CHECK on Sun

Fri - 30DS L1
Sat - FAIL (Migraine)

I've completed almost all of the challenges this week(cant go on a run today so will add that to tomorrow's workout) but I ended up binge eating this weekend. I'm not really sure why it happened and I'm hoping today I wont succumb to it again. I know tomorrow's weigh in wont be great but I am hoping that it will motivate me to try harder rather than to give up =/0

I am really hoping to do yesterday and today's challenges today but I'm not sure if I will be able to! I just got home and I have to work for someone tonight and dinner at my moms in a bit. If not, I am going to add them to tomorrow's challenge because I really really don't want to skip any! I ate horrible this weekend though and had wayyyyy too much to drink last night. Probably a ton of calories!0

Week-end was a disaster....
Too many calories from too much food and alcohol and didn't workout...
Here's hoping for a better week 3!
Got to STOP obsessing about the end and really FOCUS on one day at a time...
Have a good Sunday night and great Monday Ladies
