I weighed in yesterday and was expecting a gain so I wasn't too surprised at the number. I really don't like counting calories and I haven't been able to work out as much as I want (as far as lifting) because I hurt my hand about 6 weeks ago so my weigh ins haven't really been that great lately. So, I started tracking…

I'm still here, but didn't weigh in this past Saturday because we were on vacation. I will weigh in tomorrow and I know there will be no loss and expect to be up a couple of lbs. We got back late Sun night, but it took me a couple more days to get back on track with my eating.

Thanks for posting this anyway and I hope you feel better. I didn't want to weigh in/post today either which is why I'm doing it so late. I didn't lose any weight, but thankfully I didn't gain. Next week we are going on vacation and will not be back until Sunday night so I won't be weighing in on Saturday. My goal was to…

I had a good week and almost back down to my lowest weight of the year. I just have to stay focused and have patience...which is not easy. Starting weight: 148.6 (Jan 1) W 1: 135.6 (joined this group Feb 22) W 8: 131.4 W 9: 136.2 W 10: 133.6 W 11: 131.6

I didn't post my weight last Saturday because I had a lot going on and basically stress ate my way through about 10 days. ugh...So, my # went way up, but some of that had to be water weight and it's going back down now. Starting weight: 148.6 (Jan 1) W 1: 135.6 (joined this group Feb 22) W 8: 131.4 W 9: 136.2 W 10: 133.6 I…

Congrats Vune, those are some really good losses! Starting weight: 148.6 (Jan 1) W 1: 135.6 (joined this group Feb 22) W 2: 139.6 W 3: 134.8 W 4: 133.8 W 5: 133.4 W 6: 132.2 W 7: 131.8 W 8: 131.4 I know I should be happy that I'm actually losing every week (except for that one crazy weigh in), but it just feels like it's…

My diary is private and would make no sense/not be helpful to anyone anyway if it was open. I write down what I eat everyday and then add it to the diary every 3 or 4 days so there are a lot of days of 0 calories then there may be day with 8000 calories. I just kind of look at the total # of calories and divide by how many…

I didn't want to believe that those last 10 lbs or so were as hard to lose as everyone says, but for me that is definitely true. Like you, some weeks (like this one) I only lose .4 lbs. Every other week or so I may lose 1 lb and am thrilled/surprised when that happens. I joined a group on here on Feb 22 and today's weigh…

Starting weight: 148.6 (Jan 1) W 1: 135.6 W 2: 139.6 W 3: 134.8 W 4: 133.8 W 5: 133.4 W 6: 132.2 W 7: 131.8 (Apr 5) A very small loss, but I'm counting it. I started doing crossfit last Monday (did 4 days in a row) and used some muscles that I apparently have not used in a while and was really sore/retaining fluid. My…

I weigh myself all the time, but my official weigh in day is Wednesday. I started over-again- on January 1st and it was a Wednesday. I also joined a group on here and their weigh in day was Saturday (has changed somewhat since I joined) but, I continue to record my weight on Saturday for that group. I like having 2 weigh…

Thanks Vune. Hope you're feeling better! My friend had strep last month and didn't take all her meds as prescribed so had to go back to the Dr. and tested + again and needed more meds. I di my measurements and got: Waist: 27 Hips: 37 Bust: 36 (did that one since I already had the tape measure out)

I've really been slacking this past week. Yikes, I just looked at my exercise log and I had 3 rest days and only did about 1.5 hrs of the videos.I have a couple more workouts to do in these 30 day challenges I found on youtube from Lionsgate BeFit. I did the 30 day butt lift in Feb and am now on the 30 day abs and the…

Hi Isabella , there are weeks where I do absolutely no cardio and I've lost weight consistently every week since I joined this group about 5 wks ago. There was one weigh in where I "gained" a few lbs, but I had eaten a lot of "junk food" and was retaining water that week -it came off by the next weigh in. I hate cardio…

Starting weight: 148.6 (Jan 1) W 1: 135.6 W 2: 139.6 W 3: 134.8 W 4: 133.8 W 5: 133.4 W 6: 132.2 I'm thrilled with my weight loss this past week. Any week where I lose >1 lb is still surprising to me at this point, but I will gladly take it! I'm so close to being out of the 130s...I don't know what my goal weight is at…

Awhile ago, I was reading about doing a Whole 30 (never did one) and there is an eating plan/guideline. So, I don't understand the people who say that there are no rules/you can eat as much as you want if doing Paleo? The Whole 30 is the same as Paleo, right -if not even more strict than Paleo. This is the meal plan:…

You can get an idea from a calculator like this: http://www.cordianet.com/calculator.htm Sine you asked for best estimates, you probably already know that no one's going to be able to give you a 100% accurate answer, but you can play around with that calculator and see what you come up with.

Starting weight: 148.6 (Jan 1) Week 1: 135.6 Week 2: 139.6 ( some "junk food"/water weight couple days before the weigh in) Week 3: 134.8 Week 4: 133.8 I lost 1 lb! These days every freaking ounce counts. lol I actually did way less cardio (kept the amount of videos I do at home the same) this past week and increased my…

Starting weight: 148.6 (this was on January 1st) and then I found this group a couple of weeks ago. Week 1: 135.6 Week 2: 139.6 ( some "junk food"/water weight couple fays before the weigh in) Week 3: 134.8 So, down just a little bit from week 1, but I'll take it. I started counting calories again on March 1 since it is…

Week 1: 135.6 Week 2: 139.6 I'm not even worried about that # though because I know it's due to eating some junk food the last couple of days + a lot more exercise (so water weight/swollen muscles). I know I didn't gain 4 lbs of fat in one week. I'm sure it will go back down by next Saturday's weigh in. I did start…

I just joined today so my first weigh in is at 135.6 lbs.

Chrissy 36 5'6" 135.6 120ish I want to lose weight because I've gone back and forth over the years up to a high of 160 and a low of 138(about 5/6 yrs ago). I just don't feel comfortable at this weight. Up until about the age of 25, I didn't have to do a thing (exercise) and ate all kinds of junk food and maintained at…

That fat free mass # seems high to me. I did the bod pod a few months ago and read up on it beforehand and from what I read, the average lbm (fat free mass is the same thing, right ?) for a woman is about 100 lbs (depending on height of course). I also read a few blogs of women who had done the bod pop and they all had 99…

Congrats on the bike! My husband has a bike, well 2 of them, and he rides to work most days -about 3 miles away- and rides the other one on trails on the weekends. I've thought about getting a bike, but I'm not sure I even know how to ride one anymore. Do you really not forget? lol I haven't been on one in about 25 years…

I'm staying on track and doing better than I thought I would. I've been counting calories (a first for me) every day this month- except for one night where there was a lot of tequila involved and late night trip to both McDonalds and Taco Bell - I didn't even want to estimate the calories that night. So, the scale is…

My birthday is on Christmas Eve so my gym is always closed.

bhnguyen82, thanks for the tips! Sorry, I thought I came back and responded to you. Well, since I posted this I started counting -lasted 3 days (I think) then we went out of town for the weekend and I gave up completely. I started again on November 1 and have counted everything every day since then. I'm eating lower…

I'm so close to getting below 140, a number I haven't seen in at least 5-6 years. I've been here many times before though and then just screw it up for some reason and go right back up to 145-150. But, I think I've got it this time -finally. I've been counting calories which is something new for me, but I haven't been able…

I don't really do anything food related (cook) for any of the holidays so I can't blame any weight gain or not losing any weight on the holidays. So, my goal will be to get out of the 140's by the end of the year. That's 8 lbs I need to lose and keep off.

About how many grams of carbs are you eating each day now? And how low would the diet require you to go? I've never really tried (for any length of time) to go low carb. I know that if you do cut out bread/pasta whatever, you can lose some lbs pretty easily/quickly, but I believe that most of that is water weight. So, if…
