You're right--has to be water weight. Had something similar happen to me a few weeks back. I knew I'd done everything right, and I showed a pound and a half gain. I told myself the same thing. It has to be water weight. I stuck to doing what I know is right, and lost 4 pounds the next week--no extra cutting back. So you…

Hi All! Glad to see so many sitll here. Beginning Weight: 173.75 Current Weight: 170.25 Goal Weight: 157 Weight Loss: 3.5 Of course that loss is for 2 weeks. And I had a 1 pound gain after a dund raiser cookout. . I'm really going to do better for the Fourth. Just have to figure a way to steer clear of the sodium. That…

Very well said, Tam! I couldn't agree more. Judy

Another fellow teacher! I'm out, and the first 2 days were rough. I must have snacked on eveything in sight! Then I told myself, "Wait a minute!" Lkie others have already posted, I've begun to focus on 2 things: Preparing different, healthy meals which I don't have time for during school Developing creative ways to workout…

Hey, one pound is great! Better than gaining!! But I do understand what you're saying. If you're staying close to your allowed calorie limit, just hang in there--it'll come off. It could be water caused by something you ate just before you weighed. My mom did the same thing (she lost over 100 lbs.), and it was caused by…

Welcome to the site! You've come to the right place 'cause you'll have lots of partners. I'm usually on here about this time in the mornings and again late evenings. And even sometimes in between!! lol You can give me a shout anytime. Also, you can click on my name to send me a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as…

You are so right, Banks! It's a great post, and it really caused me to stop and think. There's a fitness club that I'm a member of, and they offer core strengthening twice a week. Because of your post, I'm definitely starting with their next meeting (that'd be Tuesday). You're the best! Judy

I know that hydrogen peroxide takes out blood stains--I've used it before. Not sure about using the meat tenerizer with it. If you try it, let me know how well it works.

Guess what time it is? It's bump time!!

Good morning, Karen! Welcome to the site. I know you're gonna love it--I do! Lauren is right; you should read some of the old posts. I'll try to find them and "bump" them to the top. There is so much good information in them. Bumping is replying to a post so that it comes to the top of the message board. Like Lauren, I…

Just checking in! Beginning Weight: 173.75 Current Weight: 173.25 Goal Weight: 157 Weight Loss: .5 pound Thank God, school has ended! lol A week of too many class parties and graduation receptions has sabotaged my plans. But now it's over, and I'm ready to jump back in with both feet!

Well, momandwife, I missed mine by 2 pounds, too! I started at 183, and today I'm at 173. Not a bad loss, and I'm looking forward to losing the rest! Thanks to everyone who posted on this challenge. You were an inspiration to me! Judy

Glad to have this challenge for the summer! Thanks lannilou! I'll have to post in the evenings, but I'll be here. Beginning weight: 173.75 Current weight: 173.75 Goal weight: 157 Weight loss/gain: 0 I'll be checking in next week! See you lighter!!

Thanks, Shorerider! Read every one of your posts on fat/fat cells. They were really godd and Vvery informative! It's better to know the information so you can deal with it! Or at least, it is for me.

Great idea! I'll be looking for one--didn't know they made such a thing. Thanks for the post about it!

I'm definitely in! A challenge really motivates me. Thanks for thinking of this one lannilou! See you Monday!!

My 7th Weight In Start Weight: 183 Weight by Memorial Day: 171 Current Weight: 173.75 Loss this week: 1.25 pounds Total Loss: 9.25 pounds Still think I may not reach my goal. I only have one more weigh in before Memorial Day, and It isn't really reasonable to expect a 2.75 pound loss. Oh--I could do it, but it would be a…

Tee shirts--definitely! And either shorts or pants made of tee shirt material. When I work out, it's all about comfort. Of course, I don't go to a gym. But when I walk, it's on a walking track at a local park. Even then, I'm more concerned with comfort during execise. Now when I go out--that's another story!!

Week 6, weigh in 6 Start Weight: 183 Weight by Memorial Day: 171 Current Weight: 175 Loss this week: 2 pounds Total Loss: 8 pounds If I don't hit a dreaded "plateau", I may even make my goal. But it's still okay if I don't. My belt has moved in 4 notches! Who cares what the scales say!!

Hi, and welcome to the site! You're in the right place. Lots of support and people who will listen. Haven't been here long myself, but it's definitely working for me. I've lost 6 pounds since the end of March. Not the best I've done, but it is the healthiest. Just log in the food you eat and any exercise. Ask questions if…

Impressive! Keep that attitude and you're sure to reach your goal!

That is fantastic!! Congratulations, and keep it up!

Welcome to the site, Cathy! Glad to have you here. Judy
