Hey everyone! Weighing in a pound up this week, at 155.4.
But I'm in the process of moving, so I think that's been a huge contributor. Getting back on track this week for sure.

Well boo hoo... I'm 205.4 this morning which is 2 lb gain from Friday.............. water retention? I sure as heck didn't eat 7000 extra calories this weekend so it couldn't possibly be FAT gain... I did have a pretty aggressive jog Saturday so I'm hoping it's muscle water retention from that. Haven't changed my habits at all and still working out 6x a week so I'm not going to sweat it. Hope it's gone in a few days and I'm back down to 203.4!0

REALLY SUPER IMPORTANT
Here is the link to the Google spread sheet! YAYYY. Sorry this is so late, but hey.. better late then never. You are all more then welcome to go in and change your weight loss. This will be MUCH easier to keep track of. I still want to see the weigh-ins and whatnot on the thread, but at least you will be able to see how everyone else is doing, and correct any weigh-losses that I might have missed. No sign-in required. Please only change your own.

Thats awesome. I can't wait to see it. Unfortunately I can't see it from work, will have to wait until I get home. Hope everyone is doing well! I am really hoping for a loss this week! 0

Interesting enough I was up this morning again from my bad weekend but all my measurements were the same. Not sure about that but I am back on track today. I've done all my workouts for today and have been strictly avoiding the Halloween candy. Yeah me! I have a crazy goal for this week: -5lbs. That seems like a lot but when I eat right and do all my workouts I tend to drop faster. Even if I don't make that goal it's there to push me to do my best this week and NOT be lazy like last week. NO EXCUSES! If I do my best I will be happy with whatever I can lose.0

CW 234, lost 1lb but I think its more. Will take inches tomorrow.0

@Kerseygeek: That is a really great goal. You should have told me on Sunday and I would have been competing against you! I'm down to lose 5 pounds in a week. I know we can do it. You just gave me a WONDERFUL challenge for next week... I think I'll add a prize to that challenge.. ohhhhh, the ideas

Losing 5 lbs would be the best thing ever! I'm gonna try too...push myself really hard, and be an absolute angel :happy: 0
-
Glad I could be of some inspiration. That does wonders for me. I'm doing good so far. Today I've been the best I've been in a while with both eating and exercise. We can do this. Most if not all of it is possible. Let's do this!0

Mini challenge madness!
First one to lose 5 pounds wins a really awesome pat on the back and maybe some jelly beans.
READY GO0 -
I just got the Insanity! program. I'm going to start on Monday. My goal weight is 17 pounds away. Can I be in?!0
-
My goal for this week is to lose 5lbs so maybe I'll win that challenge. Although there are a few people on here that are just dropping the weight like crazy. It's up for grabs I guess. I'm doing good so far.0

I am always down for a big weight loss in a week
. I think I am taking a break on weighing in for about 2 weeks. This weekend is hubby's bday and I will be celebrating all weekend so I figured my body will be back on track in 2 weeks once all the weekend splurges are out of my system :laugh: 0 -
This weekend won't be good for me either. It's my daughter's birthday so there will be cookie cake in the house: my favorite. I'll do my best.0

So now that they've taken away our signatures is there a plan to keep up with everyone? Or are we going to just use the google page? I miss my ticker and was really looking forward to changing my weight on it this weekend. I'm bummed.0

I still see the tickers...I just don't see anything else I had in my signature! Why did they do that??! Did I miss something?So now that they've taken away our signatures is there a plan to keep up with everyone? Or are we going to just use the google page?

I think a bunch of people complained about them following the rules and didn't like them so they decided to get rid of them since their stated rule was only MFP tickers. I think it stinks.
I forgot to add that many people are upset, like me, because they didn't make any formal announcement so no one knew it was going to happen unless they caught it in a random thread.0 -
Ok so today I'm not a happy camper. I've been working out really good this week so far and not eating junk and today I went up .2lbs. Granted that's not much but yesterday I went down a whole pound and then today I go up. I don't get it. The only thing I can think of is that I'm not eating enough calories and have real trouble eating my regular 1200 much less any exercise calories. I eat sensible and try to balance my groups as well as avoid the junk but then I end up not finishing my calories. I have a hard time finding snacks that aren't just mainly carbs which I have experience with keeping me from losing weight especially if I eat too many for snacks. I have lost .5 inch in my upper waist and .5 in my waist which only makes me more frustrated that I'm not losing weight. I hope it's just muscle gain but I think my diet may have something to do with it. Ugh, I'm just frustrated.0

update!!
lost another pound!!! down to 173.5--that is 15 total pounds...will stay focused on 1 to 1.5 pounds loss per week and NOT losing too fast and therefore losing muscle.
working on eating almost all my exercise calories. doing at least 45 min of cardio PLUS jillian's SHRED daily.
sleeping 8 hours, eating 4 to 6 veggie portions per day.174.5 (down half a pound)
worked out 45 minutes every morning AND added nightly shred video...AND did a 10k race on Saturday
BUT this was my highest calorie week since i started MFP and i was over goal like half of the week so i am grateful for losing at all.
this coming week the goal is 1.5 or more pounds down
lets stay totally focused EVERYONE!
nonscale victory: ran the 10K... cut about 30 seconds off of my average pace AND was ahead of my super fit size 4 gal-pal at the end!0 -
I finally found the link. So my new weight is 162. I finally lost. I don't know if any of you guys have noticed this... but im always cold, and when I get cold its hard to warm up.0

As frustrating as it is to see a gain, just remember that it's impossible for the numbers to go down every single day because weight fluctuates. In my experience, .2 lbs could be nothing. I could step back on the scale 5 minutes later & it would be down .2. I could use the restroom & lose .2 lbs! So try not to get discouraged!Ok so today I'm not a happy camper.

Well yesterday was my be bad day because I just did what I wanted and I didn't workout. So obviously I went up today again. But today was a new day and I've been good with food and I did all my exercises. I'm in a better mood today too so that's helped. I hope to see some loss tomorrow but I really hope to see something good at weigh-in this week.0

I had a really good workout last night. But the scale didn't like it enough. I gained 2lbs. Im wondering if its because I didn't drink enough water this week ......0
