Yay!! Weigh in day down 1lb so 1.5 pounds so far this month...it's a slow progress but I'm happy about it
Only.75" thought for the week which surprised me I figured I'd loose more on my thighs boo! Bathing suit season in upon me and I hate my thighs
Louisa good luck at your events today, you can do it!!
I on the other hand am having some serious issues with my body. My weight is going in the wrong direction. I totally screwed up on Monday and I get that, but 5 days later, my weight is only continuing to go up. I have eaten slightly over my calorie range, but not over 2,000 net calories so I shouldn't be gaining. Plus, the baby had hit growth spurt the last 4 days so I had to eat a little more, I felt incredibly hungry. I'm very meticulous at counting my calories.
The only new thing is that I've been doing the couch to 5k program and I have done that 3 times this week. Maybe I've temporarily gained weight from exercising? I'm not sure... I hope that if I just continue I will see a nice loss, and get back to where I was last weekend. It's very frustrating to me that I can eat at my calorie range for a whole week and lose 1-2 pounds but if I go over by 500 calories total for the week I GAIN 1-2 pounds! That just does not seem right. Oh well, anyways, moving forward. I don't know that I will meet my July goal, but at this point I am really just hoping I make it VERY close and get out of the 200's. Just waiting on my body to realize that yes, I am treating it right! One day off should not set me back for a week or more!

I had the same problem this week I went over cals a bit on Monday and ended up 2pounds it took until Thursday to get back to 196.5. I stuck with my workout schedule and calories and I'm down a pound as of this morning. It sounds like your doing fine sometimes our bodies just don't want to be on the same page or like change Stick it out and I'm sure you'll see a little woosh down. I find any new exercise I start my weight flutters up a bit. You could maybe try and drink a bit more water that helps sometimes. Good luck mama
Wow, I'm a sucker for good food and booze. I exercised like a mad woman to try to counter the extra calories, but I'm still at 153 this morning, up 1.2 from my last posting, and this was down from yesterday--yikes! I'm eating well today, though, so I hope to get back down. There's hardly a prayer of me losing 8 pounds by the end of the month. Why is it so hard?!
SW: 152.4
CW: 153
GW: 145
LGW: I think I'm suffering both the pain of discipline (several days of the week) AND the pain of regret and disappointment when the weekend comes and I blow it. Grrr!
PacSunMama: don't despair. Carved Marmalade is right. It will come off. Your body might be retaining water with the new exercise, or maybe you are gaining muscle, which is nothing to to be sad about! Keep up the good work and you'll be in Onederland by the end of the month for sure.
well I was up today not even going to say how much I almost cried ugh so annoying I have been eating rather okay and staying under calories. I ate a rather high sodium lunch yesterday so I'm hoping it's just water weight or maybe I'm gaining muscle from all this interval elliptical stuff I have really stepped it up until yesterday I took the day off. I felt really bad I thought TOM was on the way but nothing yet...maybe it was bad sushi from the nigth before my husband felt cruddy too.
Louisa I here you with the booze however this month I've been able to stay under cals and drink a tiny bit. The last couple months were hard though I think I have finally figured out what moderation is Good luck try and hang in there you'll break the cycle soon
Thanks for the motivation gals! I appreciate it! Well my body seems to be getting AF, which is very strange since I have pcos and am nursing around the clock... and it's not starting really, but since it first appeared I've lost 4 pounds! Yay for that!! So maybe my body is getting over whatever made me retain that weight, still not quite sure what.
I may have to create a new July goal and that will be to end July weighing less than when I started it.
Scale was down this morning thank goodness so another day of water water water and hopefully I will be back at 195.5 tomorrow and 194.5 by staurday I'm hoping for a loss before TOM rears it's ugly head
Mentally made the decision to look at these small gains as flutuations as opposed to setbacks and not overanalyze and sweat the "small stuff" ...sometimes that can get you into trouble....
Have a great day everyone!!! :-)
LGW
