My goal is to not get caught up in the delicious food available while I go out drinking tonight.

Good job and hitting the gym yesterday, Heather! Take some ibuprofen and do some stretches to help with the DOMS. My goal for today is to go grocery shopping so I am no longer just surviving on snack foods for dinner.

Challenge Starting Weight: 181 Week 1: 179.8 Week 2: 178 Week 3: 179.1 Week 4: 178.9 Total loss/gain: 2.1 lbs

New month, new goals! I like it :smiley: 1) Increase bench to 100 lbs 2) Get a daily weight reading below 170 lbs 3) Continue going to the gym 3-5x a week 4) Go the gym at least 4x a week 3 times this month

CHECK - only gained 3lbs!1.Do not gain more than 5 lbs over my family/birthday vacation (May 19-24 - WOO!!!) CHECK - lost 5 inches 2. Lose 3 inches CHECK3. Maintain gym visits at 3-5x per week how did you guys do?

That is awesome! Rock it out! Working out is nice, but you don't need it to lose weight - it is a whole different kind of commitment and goals. You can do this even if you can't work out right now. continue being awesome!

I've been so tired lately. I finally got a good night's sleep because I put my A/C unit in and didn't sweat all night...but I'm still sleepy. What do you guys do to keep going besides drink a lot of coffee?

I think cleaning counts as some serious exercise if you're doing it right! Also, I hope you are taking progress pics! It really does make a big difference in how you view yourself. I can never tell much of a difference between back to back photos (~2 months apart)but I see a HUGE difference in the ones that are ~4 months…

Okay guys, today is the return to the gym after a week of hiking and bodyweight exercises. Wish me luck!

I'm 5'6.5, weigh ~180lbs, and I'm a size 10/12. I do a lot of heavy lifting and my body shape is rather curvy. I can feel/see my hips bones, so I really don't think I'll be getting much smaller.

back from my vacation! And I only "gained" 3 lbs! SUCCESS!

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend! Make good choices!

Remember that time I got ONE drink for a coworker's going away party, went to the gym with the plan of getting dinner afterwards, and was still tipsy enough post workout that I forgot to get dinner? Yeah. Tonight was fun. Go go magical drinking lightweight powers!

Pretty easy/fun to make too! Mix together: 6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, 2 scoops vanilla protein powder, and 4 tablespoons PB2 until thoroughly blended. Roll into small patties/balls Melt ~1/2 cup baker's bittersweet w/~1.5-2 tablespoons margarine. Dip the peanut butter patties in the melted chocolate, then cool…

I made peanut butter protein cups last night at a fudge making party - they taste pretty much exactly like peanut butter cups (although not nearly as pretty)~50 calories w/ 3 grams of protein per cup! (they're mini sized). So I was able to munch them and enjoy them while helping everyone else make fudge. Success!

I have been having the WORST allergies, and work has decided to suddenly give me a million more responsibilities, and I have a mouseguest. Gym today is going to be very needed.

Yes, that's right - weekly weigh-in, monthly measurements :)

Household chores always score low on my "things that I should do" list. They tend to only happen when I am procrastinating something I want to do even less! I hope today went really well! I went to the gym early today(#4!), hung out with some friends all afternoon, and am spending the evening banished to the bedroom while…

I average my daily weights over a week for my "actual" weight. So I'll be posting it on Monday :)

I am on track to hit the gym 4-5 x this week. Woo! Good job on getting that water and sticking to your calories! If you are feeling really hungry, you could try eating more vegetables (it's easy to fill up on a bowl of carrots, and it's relatively low calorie!), and make sure you are getting enough protein and fat into…

Lift weights, lose weight.

You got this! One day or one week off your plan will not hold you back significantly, you just have to get back on track afterwards. It can be difficult to get back into the swing of things, but you shouldn't give up on yourself - we won't give up on you! Awesome job! Work it, girl!

I actually bought my tape measure from a dollar store (came in a package of three), but they have some decent ones on amazon if you can't make it in to the store. Here's one for $2+free shipping

Just had my physical. My doctor (who I haven't seen since November, right when I started really getting into shape) was really excited about my weight loss. He gave me lots of congratulations, and he agreed with my current plan (get down to 155 or so, then keep my weight between 155 and 165) and complimented me on my…

Protein powder is a supplement, just like any other supplement. If you think you are not getting enough protein in your diet, it could be beneficial. There are different kinds of protein supplements, some higher calorie than others. It does not make any difference to your weight loss journey besides the number of calories…

Awesome job! That's HUGE! It's a big deal to be able to enjoy the experience without indulging in sweets every time. I went to the gym yesterday after work, then came home and pretty much immediately fell asleep. I feel like a zombie today. I was planning on going back to the gym after work for a run, but it may turn into…

congrats on making it one year! It's really impressive you haven't gained what you have lost, and you should be really proud of that. As for stalling...you could try to switch to fruit/veggies for shabbos snack time. Or you could make yourself tupperware containers of pre-measured treats to enjoy. It's a little extra work…
