I am hoping that this will be the month I make it under 200 (if I do not I won't feel like I failed as every loss is a win to me) but if I do you will hear me screaming from wherever you are :-) Name: Monica Age: 43 Height: 5'7" Start Weight (1st April): 210.5 Goal Weight (1st May): 199 1st April: 210.5 8th April: 209.5…

and I love strength training!

nope...this is a new way of life for me - a lifestyle change. When I reach my goal weight (whenever and however long that may take) I will be maintaining it for the rest of my life. So the scale will be a secondary or even third tool of measure, clothes fitting, how I feel and measurements will be the first,

it can get quite addictive and then like today you get discouraged and forget the measurements and how you feel part.

wow ok cool thanks. I do actually feel a whole lot better now. This is something I never knew and actually only bought the weight scale this time for MFP and tracking lol. When I used to lift weights years ago I never owned a scale. Thanks! :-)

all of those are full body core/strength workouts with cardio bursts as well. Hard to describe kettlebell and TRX (uses body weight as your resistance) but google can explain those. Functional Training is different every week...some exercises may resemble Biggest Loser type exercises for example one class I was flipping…

lol never liked the thing anyway :-)

I think I may just do a weigh in once a week instead for a while and keep measuring as my indicator. I never knew that about inflammation and water retention until doing some reading today on MFP and online. Makes sense though. Is 4 times a week too much? I do Kettlebell on Mondays, TRX is Tuesday and Fridays and…

great thanks alot of great info. I actually do have a weight scale and I had been losing quite nicely (no real issues with food intake) however was started to get frustrated with the scale but the inches are coming off so scale will not be my biggest source of accomplishment. Body is becoming stronger and noticeable…

good to know, thanks!

if you are in a building that has an elevator, go for a walk or two up the stairs instead. There are 5 floors above my office and I have not used the elevator in 2 months. 80 steps to the top :-)

I might add that I had lost 1 lb last Friday but gained 2 this morning after yesterdays intense kettlebell class

I am definitely the same way and thankfully my husband is a nymph too :-) win win
