    Well I weighed in and gained 1.5 lbs but I think it is water weight...

    if you gained weight this week... DO NOT STRESS, sometimes when you start changing your routine, that tends to happen... stay on the brighter side of things and watch some of the following things:
    1. Sodium intake
    2. Dehydration/Water Intake
    3. For females TOM
    4. Measurements

    Sometimes, you may gain on the scale but come to find out, you are gaining muscles....

    As for the challenge... It runs from Friday-Thursday and weigh in is Friday and you get your new challenge TODAY! I am lagging only because I am moving at this moment but, I will have the new thread posted in about 3 minutes! Keep up the hard work!!!! Great job everyone! Keep chuggin along and work hard! beat adversity!

    I weighted in at 209, which is up, but I'm not going to let it get me frustrated.

    I did about 150 minutes of cardio, which doesn't include housecleaning ( I make it as hard as possible!) and a field trip to the zoo with my first grader.

    Down only a pound but I'll take it! Especially since i didn't get nearly as much cardio in as i wanted b/c of the crappy weather we've been having lately. And i still don't have my treadmill :grumble: Hopefully this week!

    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!

    I did 2 hrs of exercise, gained a pound then lost 2. I should have taken my measurements as they seem to have changed the most

    Hi LD - hope you are enjoying your trip :flowerforyou:

    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!
