good morning guys :)

today is my weigh-in day, and not gonna lie, I am a little disappointed. Guess I've been eating too much. On to the next week!
Anyways, I went for a little run yesterday, but today my legs are so sore, it isn't even funny. I am mildly concerned about that and taking at least 2 days off from exercise.

kalikat003 well done losing 5 lbs! I am a fan of MyFitnessPal, too. It's so easy and convenient :)

Jacqui_D you are awesome! I'm sure the 1 lbs will be gone in the blink of an eye!

boatingmommy nice drop!

Woodstock great job having a lower fat percentage!

NightAngel26 :wave: how are you?

Have a great Friday! Start of the weekend, woohoo!

Heading back down, yay! I upped my calories on Monday; took 4/5 days for everything to settle down. Officially I "gained" a pound this week, but I am perfectly okay with it, unofficially my scale is heading down and I am eating and drinking more and feeling stronger.

I am still standing at 5 pound loss for the month :) Now if I could drop a few more, I would be one happy lady!!

Boating, congrats on the drop! Even with the bit up today, it's still over a lb drop! :dancer:

Shr1nk1ngme, yay! A new decade! :dance:

Sum. when you whoosh, you whoosh, lol! Congrats on the big jump back down! Looks like the change up in calories worked! :flow2:

Designchick, you're doing something right! Good job! :carrot:

Imabehot, keep going! You're looking good! :flow1:

Woodstock, congrats on the big drop! :broc:

NightAngel, on your way back down! Good job! :cp:

Turtle, stay with it! You have a big whoosh in your near future! :yes:

Darius, wow! Congrats on the big loss this week! :bravo:

Minneey, yes, almost 10 lbs in two months! I've really lucked out finding a diet that works for me. It only took 30 years, lol! :spin: Be mindful this weekend! Don't let lb #142 get ya! :D

Pixikat, even without jumping a whole decade, you are looking great, lol! Keep it up! :cp:

183, that's one of the reasons I can't weigh only once a week. You know that's just water! You've been exercising so much and have sore muscles that need repair, but to see it on the scale is frustrating. Be sure to drink lots of water! :cheers:

Kelijpa, yay! A new low for the month! Keep going! :yay:

darius - I LOVE gyouza... and ramen... and sushi... LOL.

Minneey - Yes, Body Fat Percentage is an extremely useful indicator of progress, especially when you are building muscle at the same time as you're burnign fat. For the most part it has to be measured using a tool (skin fold calipers) or a digital scale that has sensors on it that measure impedance of an electric current through your body, or by far the best way is to be submerged in a tank of water and weighed!! That's not so conveniant or always practical. My trainer has calipers and he pinches skin to measure skin folds a few places and these measurements are added up and compared to a chart to provide a percentage.

183StGB - I had sore legs this week too from a new workout i tried on Sunday (10 sets of 10 squats). My legs were so sore for 3 days -- i was a bit mad at myself because i couldnt' do my normal workouts but decided instead to focus on upper body while my legs were out of commission!!

Way to go, Sum38!!

Jacqui - Look at you, so close to goal -- awesome work, well done!

Happy Friday, EVERYONE!! Have a great weekend :)

Drank way more water than seemed at all necessary after zumba last night - I think that's the first time I haven't held onto water weight, so I guess it worked. Bodies are weird. Anyone else usually gain a ton after working out?

Officially lost my first 5 pounds!!! :D

Everyone is doing so great!!!

boating, You inspire me and make me laugh at the same time. This is something I would do as well, hope you are moving better by now. I sometimes have to watch mid day snacking, but p.m. is the worst.

jacqui, yes, you can call me Diana, that is fine. Am I right to assume your name is Jacqui?

I can see I'm not alone in my no p.m. snacking challenge. Keep loosing everyone and have a great weekend.

My Jan goal is to lose 4 & no p.m. snacking. Progress to date:
1/1 - 158 & no p.m. snacking
1/4 - 157 & continued success with no p.m. snacking.
1/6 - 156 & continued success with no p.m. snacking.
1/10 - 156 & continued success with no p.m. snacking.
1/11 - grazed after dinner
1/12 - 156 & back to no p.m. snacking.
1/14 - 156 & continuing with no p.m. snacking
1/16 - 156 & continuing with no p.m. snacking

Everyone is doing so well!! And there's so much positive energy on this thread - love being a part of it!!

Weighed in today and I'm real happy!! Down to 154.8!! So that's a 2.4lb loss which is better than my average these last few weeks. Just under 20lbs to go now so I am hoping to have that down before summer starts, in the mean time my goal to be 150 by February seems possible in 2 weeks!

Happy Weekend Everyone!!

yep those are all pretty good.

Just been out for dinner - had a cheese quesadilla starter and a prawn and chorizo salad for mains. Not a complete disaster, but actually not that nice either - restaurant was a bit so so. These things seem to matter much more when you're counting calories right!!?

Had a nice whoosh today. Having been going at it hard for two weeks in the gym, so nice to see a bit of progress!

Good morning guys :)

My legs were still super sore the entire day yesterday, today it's a little better. So glad! I still won't be exercising, but need to go to the post office, which is about a 40min walk. Does any of you guys exercise with Coach Kozak from HasFit on youtube? I used to a year ago before I started with DVDs, I find him quite nice and motivating, so I'll probably do one of his stretching videos tonight. That's the plan :)

Sum38 well done being back down at goal!

Jacqui_D thanks for the encouragement, Jacqui! The daily fluctuations where driving me crazy, that's why I decided to weigh-in only weekly ;) Funny thing is, I basically stayed within the same 4kg since the beginning of August but am wearing 2 jeans sizes smaller (no muffin top, BTW ;)), so I'm not sure if the scale is a good indicator anyways :p

Woodstock yeah, I think my legs just got really tired from exercising. It is weird because I am not feeling sore - just extremely tired and weak. I did do some Youtube self-massage videos though, that helped, too ;)

designchick88 yeah, I gain after exercise! After crossfit it's usually a couple of pounds!

imabehot congrats on the first 5 pounds! Well done.

Minneey yay for the woosh!

:wave: to everybody else!
Happy Saturday!! :D
