    Starting weight: 140
    Today: 139.5
    5/31 Goal: 132

    Only lost 1/2 a pound :cry: I'm a little dissapointed in that but I've only been on this site for 10 days and I've lost 3 pounds total so I should be happy with my total weight loss so far, 3 pounds in 10 isn't to bad. Wasn't the greatest with the cardio this week, it's been raining nearly everyday. The bummer is yesterday I weighed 139.5 than last night a sloshed around in the mud and played golf and WALKED 9 holes and it says you burn like 500 calories do that and I was the exact same weight today!! Was that for nothing? I really watched what I ate yesterday and was really hoping for a better number:frown: Better luck this week I guess.

    Don't forget that a lb is the caloric equivalent of 3500 calories, so unless you had a 3500 calorie deficit yesterday, you aren't going to lose a lb. 3 lbs in 10 days is REALLY good. If you look at that over the course of a month it ends up being 9 lbs in a month. That is A LOT!!! You should keep at it and not get discouraged with the small changes, but try to focus on the trend your weight is taking. As long as you are trending lower over the course of a couple of weeks and eventually months, keep doing what you are doing.

    I was unable to weigh in as I am in Michigan this week with no scale :( I feel better and my clothing seems looser, so we'll see what the scale says next Friday.

    We Can Do It!

    No scale access this week because I blew off the gym for the WHOLE WEEK. It was mindful however, and I gave myself permission to do it, and am back on track today (Monday). On my way to go see this week's challenge!
