    5/8 197.8 Hate these weight plateaus!! Time to change something up.
    5/14 196.8 Still in a plateau. 1/2 marathon training in progress.

    +0

    My NSV - finally got to ride a horse for the first time in many, MANY years after getting my weight under 200. In many places there are weight restrictions, more strict for women than men, on being able to rent a horse for a ride.

    Been a strange month so far. A weight gain when I was expecting a loss, and then a stomach bug which knocked me for nearly a week. I'm hoping for a more steady second half of the month!!

    1st May = 177.6
    5th May = 178.8 (+1.2)
    12th May = 177.6 (-1.2)

    So so far I've been maintaining. Hey ho. Onwards and downwards!!

    Keep it up everyone :)

    05/08/2012 – 159 – I know this is the wrong direction, but we had a great visit with awesome friends. I took the weekend off, but am ready to jump back on that horse!!! My NSV was not for me, but for my husband – he went on his first motorcycle ride with friends this weekend – unfortunately we celebrated with too much food, but it was a great time!!
    05/15/2012 – 158 – NSV – got rid of some clothes that I just shouldn't wear (wrong color & some that are too large)!

    Thanks Fran! You are doing great too and I bet if we talked inches you would fair way better than me as you do such a variety of different type of activities whereas I am still stuck on the running! I still haven't started on the strength and toning that I keep promising that I will do!

    I join late, but had the challenge in mind & didn't look it up on MFP ^^
    so:

    SW: 159
    CW begining of May: 149
    GW end of May: 144


    1st May: 149
    7th May: 148.3
    14th May: ? (because I m travelling right now until the 22nd)
    22nd May:
    29th May:

    My NVS from the begining: Several months ago I began a personal challenge to not be obsessed by the scale and until now I'm still on it & it works really well for me.
    Right now I do not have a scale (out of the country) and it does not bother me at all.

    In fact it gives me a motivation spurr to be good & to do well because when I'll get home I'm hoping to be pleasantly surpised by the number :-)

    I'm also a lot more active in this month than last one :-)
    I feel good!
    Also noticed that I did not digest nuts very well, so they are not a part of my regime any more (or in super small quantities).

    Goal weight on May 31st : 127

    5/01: 137.6
    5/07: 137.2
    5/14: 136.2 (ToM and a big dinner last night...I'd actually dropped further than this by mid-week last week!)
    5/21:
    5/28:
    5/31:

    Weighed in this morning (5/18) and I was at 134.2, so I re-lost that extra pound the gut-bomb of a Sunday-night dinner added on, so I'm 70% of the way there! :smile:
    Hope my shoulder heals enough to let me exercise again soon, because this week has been AWFUL in that department!
