Woodstock I have the same weekend routine! At this point inching along is ok with me, at this stage of my weightloss, I admire your drive to stay OPI'm sure you'll see a benefit, I continue my exercise over the weekend, but ease up on the food, so as long as I'm staying fit and getting stronger I'm happy, I want to try the OP weekend, too, I'll give it my best.

Happy April!!

Good Morning!

Looks like some folks have been pretty successful so far this month!!!!

I have been weighing myself in the AM and the PM every day this month and so far, I have lost 8lbs! I know a lot of it is probably water but, hey, it is highly motivating :cheer3:

Wow losing 8lbs seems so hard this month, specially when it started coming off fast in the beginning! Clothes are MUCH loser though, so maybe I should start measuring myself? Anyone else doing this? I'm always afraid to measure wrong!

Yes, kelijpa, here's to an OP weekend! It sounds like we have similar approaches, and i think its a reasonable approach. I'm also excited to take the opportunity to have this OP weekend, and will maybe decide to do it more frequently.. LOL!

Today is my weigh-in day. Though it looks like there has been a loss, to be honest, I haven't really done anything except for shedding some water weight from TOM, which I was going through at the time of my first weigh-in. For this week, though, I'm determined to get on track. I'm going to a wedding at the end of June and will be seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in a long time, so that's my motivation for now. Good luck to everyone and congrats to everyone who saw a loss this week.

I switched to high-protein-only (no fat or carbs) for a few days, just to change it up, and it worked! I plan to go on another fat fast and then back to JUDDD when I stall again, probably in a week or so. When I get close to goal I always have a really hard time losing the last 10-15 pounds so I expect to have to constantly change my methods to keep my metabolism guessing.

So many on plan weekends, congrats everyone for sticking it out! Mine went well with good workouts Saturday and Sunday, no alcohol, but with probably more volume of food then I eat on a weekday. I'm up a pound from Friday but am very happy with this compared to my usual!

4/14 - 152.3 Okay, I had a three day weekend and totally did not stick to any plan. We had birthday parties, girls' day out, and I didn't count one point. Having said that...I am right back at it today, and feeling very committed (or maybe I should be committed to the looney bin??) Planning to work hard all week, and not screw it up on Easter.

Hi Everybody,

I'm ashamed to say i've done a really bad job so far of sticking to this and taking it seriously. I had a meltdown last night when i got on the scale and realized I've gained back almost all the weight I worked SO hard to lose last summer-- one of those rock bottom moments that forces you to get serious. Starting today with renewed goals and hoping to salvage what I can of the rest of this month.

Has anyone tried Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred program? I just bought the dvd... hoping this is the beginning of a new start!

Congrats to everyone who had losses this week!

I have done the 30 day shred twice now all the way through. I use it now as a supplement to my weight lifting days (3 days of New Rules of Lifting and 2-3 days of 30 day shred). I alternate levels.

I enjoy doing it and it's always a proud moment when you are able to keep up with the advance lady :)

Wow, that's awesome! Did you find that you had big results after you did it all the way through the first time?

vdh2102: I've done 30DS a couple of times. I'm old, so I think it works best for me to do it every other day. I was thrilled the day I could do boy push-ups! If you decide to go for it, be sure to join us on the exercise challenge thread: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html. I don't remember the weight loss being so dramatic but what I could do and how I felt was terrific -- and that makes it easier to stick to a food plan.
