    Week 1: 150
    Week 2: 150 (-0)
    Week 3: 152.5 (+2.5)
    Week 4: 144 (-8.5)
    Week 5: 150.5 (+6.5)

    And we go back up on the scale :/ I feel as if I'm playing tug-o-war with myself.

    Are you measuring and tracking your food accurately?

    YAY!!! I had a 1.5lbs loss this week thanks to a combination of the cardio challenge and my new HRM. I've been running between 1 - 1.5 hours a day and doing the 30DS L2. I've been really sore but it has been worth it.

    Still 193 this week. It's been really hard for me to get my motivation back after the holidays. However, my boyfriend gave me a new motivation yesterday. We've been together a long time (almost 10 years) and we've always wanted to get married but it was never anything that we were in a rush to do. We've also decided that we'd like to get married some place tropical with just us and a couple of witnesses. So, yesterday he tells me "I want to get below 200 pounds so I can go some place tropical...If you want to get married, you're going to have to help me lose weight." I was so excited I would have jumped up and down if I wasn't driving. So, this is my new motivation. I've had the marriage bug for a while now and this is just what I need to get back on track. Hopefully the scale agrees with me! Good luck this week everyone!

    That is awesome!!!! Nice motivation for ya!

    Last week: 218.9
    This week: 216.1

    Down 2.8lbs!!! :bigsmile:

    I'm always so shocked and amazed when I step on the scale and down it goes. I'm very enthused and ready to make more change. I'm making appointments with myself to exercise and downloaded a nifty little app to take the guessing out of what kind of weight training to do. It's been a while since i've lifted weights so I need some help.

    Keep it up Summer Dolls! :drinker:

    Congrats! Great loss!!! If yo udon't mind me asking, what app are you using?

    did you have anything that offset a huge loss last week? sickness or anything ?
    Last time I was hung over a lost a tonne of weight fast because I was dehydrated - or when my cat was put down I didnt eat for two days - it ended up balancing out in the end. Dont be too hard on yourself - take it one day at a time and make thebest choices you can!

    I was just about to say the same thing. If that's not the case I would go back and check how much sodium you've consumed during the week and water. To much and you could be retaining......you'd need to flush out your system. Also, is TOM on his way?

    Challenge time! Let me think

    This week I am starting turbo fire-its a cardio intense fat burning dvd program for anyone who doesn't know. Cardio is important to burn fat but strength training is equally important.
    muscleburns more calories queen you are just even sitting there.
    This week I want everyone to start their day with 50 crunches.. It takes give minutes at most added to your morning routine. Throw in 25 push ups also. any style you can handle. They are great for core strength. Girlie-military-diamond.. Whatever tickles your fancy-just get er done!


    You can all do it!

    Starting: 199
    Week 1: 199.5 (+0.5)
    Week 2: 195.4 (-4.1)
    Week 3: 195.8? (+0.4) My scale was erratic this morning. Weighed me at 195.8 and 195.2 so I'm going with the bigger number. That way I won't be disappointed next week
    Week 4: 195 (-0.8)
    Week 5: 193.4 (-1.6) Upped my calories this week and ate awful-not sure how this loss happened. I won't complain though!

    I did awful with the challenge this week. I had a lot going on and was very low on energy. Although, I really did love the idea of more core exercises. I love crunches and could always use more :)
