162.6 this morning, which means I'm .6 down from yesterday. Not exactly burning up the scale, but I'm pleased. I'm hoping by Sunday, I'll be starting the next challenge!
So...this has been my week....
monday - down .5 pound
tuesday - back up .5 pound
wed. - no change
thursday - back down .5 pound
friday - up 1 pound (made chicken and dumplings...too good for my own good)
Need to buckle down and stay on plan!!!! At least I have been exercising all week.
Still sitting at 194.2 and since I've been PERFECTLY on-plan and racked up just over 19 miles of running this week I pretty much want to throw my scale out the window. I'm expecting a nice drop on the scale before Monday, but time is running SHORT!
May I join the throw-scale-out-the-window club as well? I was up to 163.6 this morning, and I made some extra effort to knock off the remaining .8 pound that I needed to lose. Oh well. How much worse would it have been if I hadn't done that?
Hey there southern momma, welcome to this challenge.
I was down this am to starting weight 153.5 but am logging in after overeating at a family reuinion dinner. I was staying mostly on plan, pushed my plate away-- totally satisfied and done. Then I yank that baby back in front of me and chow down the rest of the pot roast-- eating so compulsively and guiltily I was not enjoying it at all.
Soo, I expect a gain tomorrow. Back up on that horse, eh ladies?
I here ya there kittycat we went out for chinese buffet last night and i ate way to much
I say i put on a pound or to, but its supposed to be nice for a couple of days here so i will most likely walk it off.
Nice Kitty, bet you whooped for joy when you saw that scale!!!
Welcome southernmama!
DC -- I'm right there with you, I'm having an awesome week (totally on-plan for BOTh food and exercise) and seeing NOTHING on the scale. That makes me feel pretty darn pissy! I continue to sit at 194.2. I am going nowhere fast.
SO FRUSTRATED TODAY! I couldn't even log in to report it this morning. I felt really munchy yesterday and a little depressed about a life situation, and really wanted to go way off plan. But I thought about this challenge and how excited I would be to report that I was down the five pounds, so I formulated a plan. I went shopping - really just planned to try on clothes, but found some amazing sales ($5 jeans, $3 suit jackets, etc.) - to remind myself of why it was worth it to stay on plan. I ran 3.5 miles, played tennis for an hour, and topped it off with a 4-mile walk when my husband needed something from the store and I decided it would be better to walk than pay for the gas. I also planned my run for when my family was having pizza to avoid the temptation, as I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it. So, 1200 calories and 7.5 miles later, I am UP ALMOST 1.4 POUNDS. It is so not right!
Start: 166.8
Current: 165.0 (down a mere 1.8 pounds)
Challenge Goal: 161.8
Today is my day off from planned exercise. I will take a long, leisurely walk in the afternoon and probably play tennis, and I plan on staying on plan. So, I'll just see what the scale brings tomorrow. I so desperately want to get out of the 160s. **sigh**
LD -- I understand your frustration. I'm noticing that I don't always weigh lower on mornings after long runs. Maybe our muscles are holding water from all the microscopic tears or something? Hang in there.
I'm down slightly to 193.8. Even though I had an absolutely perfect week, that's all I'm getting! Doesn't seem fair!
My scale read 153.0 this am. It feels precarious though b/c as soon as I put pj pant back on it jumped to 153.5-- I have .5 increments only.
That means OP plus exercise today hoping to solidify loss!
FYI, I have cut majority of carbs out of my diet--same cal counts. I am seeing better results than when they were in my diet. I am a bit freaked out by this b/c I want a WOE not diet and I fear sustainability. But, I am seeing my MD today to get labs and whatnot for IR, PCOS, and such. (I was dx'd pcos age 21 -now 38 and was gestational diabetic w/pregnancies.)
