I broke the barrier this morning, I'm down 2 lbs
How did it happen; increased exercise, drank more water and logged my food and kept in my daily intake goal. So allow me to indulge in a WOOHOO!!! With all of you! Bring it on, I'm In It to Win It.
Enjoy the Day:flowerforyou:

Yay, you! That's awesome!
I lost another pound this week, which makes a total of three so far during this challenge. Upping my calories seemed to do the trick. I think having a higher allotment but NOT eating most of my exercise calories is what is going to work for me. That way, I eat about the same amount each day. I will still allow myself a day a week to go over. I think that seems to really "rev" my metabolism.0 -
No loss and no gain. Well ok I lost like 0.2 lbs but I don't really count that too much.
Glad I didn't gain.
And on goes the plateau.0 -
Just a suggestion, do you like fish? I found that having a white fish, halibut, or red snapper with cooked spinach and lemon water for dinner, helps with these plateau. Try it and let me know how it goes.No loss and no gain. Well ok I lost like 0.2 lbs but I don't really count that too much.

And on goes the plateau.
I'm glad you did not gain either, you are on the road to losing, stay with it. Have a blessed day!:flowerforyou:0 -

Can you explain this theory to me, I still don't get it, eat more and you will lose? I am sure some on our team would love the theory on this. Enjoy the Day!0 -
I only lost 1 pound this week. But I am happy with that. Onward I go full force. I think next week I am going to skip the treadmill and utilize only the elliptical. Mainly due to hip, knee and leg pain but also to do something different so my body doesn't get "bored". Congrats to those who lost weight this week.0

I gained a pound this week. I think I'm going to up my calories a little bit and see if that helps! Hopefully good numbers next week!0

Congrats to those who lost weight this week. Make sure you stretch, ice, elevate and relax your knee/leg. 0 -
stick with it and don't give up, I know the feeling, but check your food the day prior, see what the numbers came out, any extra salt in the servings or processed food? Keep drinking water you will beat this! Have a great weekend:flowerforyou:I gained a pound this week. I think I'm going to up my calories a little bit and see if that helps!

Thanks so much for your kind words. It means so much to have support & know that there are others fighting the same battle. Thinking back over the week, I think I ate more carbs than usual so will cut back there. Also need to work on my water. Ready to do my 3rd ab workout for the week & also some Zumba today!:bigsmile:0 -

I have no idea why it works! But with that said, it seems to. I think anything we do to make sure our body isn't in a rut helps. I'm not eating any more than I did when my calories were set at 1200 and I ate my exercise calories. I just don't eat any (or many) of my exercise calories now. Eating over a day a week keeps me from being likely to binge: I know I get a treat frequently. Also, I think our bodies get used to the same amount of calories all the time and our metabolisms tend to slow down. Of course, that isn't scientific and I am probably way off base, so don't quote me!0 -
I'm sorry I never reported on Friday! :blushing: I did not end up doing much exercise because of my very busy work week and I didn't come up with a plan to fit it in basically because I felt so tired all week. Alas, I had a very good workout yesterday and today so I just have to deal with some weeks being better than others and to really watch what I'm eating when I don't exercise. I stayed the same, so no loss for 2 weeks but this week will be a loss!!!!!!!! Have a great week everybody and keep at it! :flowerforyou: It's so important to keep reporting and logging, especially when you are not seeing results because this is where we will all find motivation!0
