meh, stayed the same this week Good luck with everyone else's weigh ins!

I find it's better to stay accountable and not hide what progress you're making - good or bad. There have been times where I have gained, where I have stalled, and sometimes I even want to make up a weight to look like I'm still making progress. But I don't, you have to be honest with yourself and accept your mistakes and get the support of others. Hiding away and bottling up your fears will only make it all worse. Start working through your fears of being thin - what are they exactly? Perhaps we can all help.

I think I've lost two pounds this week. Or three. Or none. My scale is really frustrating me. A two pound loss is what t it said most of the time, but I might wait until I can buy a good digital scale in the next day or so before I submit my weight to the spreadsheet. I hope that's okay. I don't even know if the darn thing has my base weight right.

So I was thinking, maybe week 4 we can have a POWER WEEK!!!! Where we really really try our hardest to stay on plan, try not to slip, stay accountable, and we'll see what kind of overall results we can all accomplish!!! What do you think Riestrella?? Anybody??

Haha, I like the idea of themed weeks, it would have to work like the 90 day exercise challenge where we set our goals then come back and re-post our progress. Good idea =)

So, I went back to the gym this Tues after a week and a bit off as I'd injured my knees (prob overdoing it). Tues and Weds I took it easy and was feeling positive about working out again. I slipped in the bath on Thursday and I have broken my wrist :-(

At the moment it is really painful just sat around. I have no enthusiasm for exercise and moving my arm at all hurts. I lost 1lb which is less than I wanted but still a loss. I am going to spend next week trying to get to grips with the food side of things. I havent eating particularly well as I have been moping and feeling sorry for myself. I am hoping the pain will subside next week and then I am going to go walking more until I am back at the gym.

i love the idea of themed weeks makes it so much more exciting and keeps the interest going in the challenge
lisa4621 hope you are feeling better soon! dont give up hope ive broken my leg before and its painful! but dont give up if you carry on with your healthy eating think how awesome its going to feel when your leg is healed. hugs from everyone

I hope that's what the case will be! hahahaha

as for these themed weeks... I like that! maybe we could have weeks where you have an emphasis on cardio, or zumba, or weights, or pilates?

I am so sore this week :[ I haven't had a day off but I went off plan for dinner last night and I am kicking myself. I think I should go into the gym, but I do need a day off :/ I guess I'll keep going and then rest on wednesday or something...

Hi everyone! My progress is going slow but steady. I figure it is not a race but any progress is progress.

As another way to keep my mind occupied, I have started selling things on
eBay- fun and 0 calories!

Gah, I missed my running yesterday and today. I've gotta make up for it tomorrow! *power mode*

Here are the week 2 stats!

Aware has taken the top spot for both the overall chart and the weekly chart with a massive 7 lb loss this week!
But whitelikechalk's consistency with losing the pounds over the 2 weeks have earned her enough points to take the lead in the challenge.

By the end of the week there were 116 people listed on the spreadsheet, meaning we had 14 newcomers to the challenge!
I have had to move 19 people to the stand by list, meaning 31 people in total have dropped out so far.
There are now 97 people remaining in the challenge!

Ugh. I'm having issues. Since graduation & the breakup with he who must not be named, I've been going out with family and friends a lot. I'm trying to still eat healthy but it's hard. And I don't want to turn down my friends who I haven't seen in forever either. Like today. I'm going to see a movie with an old roommate and she was like "let's do lunch too!". I think I'm going to text her and let her know I'll come to lunch but I'll be eating at home and not at the restaurant. I want to get lunch with her so we can talk, though. So that's sort of taken care of. And tonight I'm doing trivia with friends downtown at one of my favorite places. My ex and I went out very rarely (he's the sit at home and play videogames for 12 hours straight kind of guy) but this is the place we would go when we went out. So I want to go to work on making new memories there. But it's a burger place and I'm sure if I eat anything there it's going to be 1500 calories. Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Why can't these places just make healthy food?!

Also, Lisa, I hope you feel better! I've never broken a bone but I bet it hurt a ton. :/

131 today! This is the first week I can report a loss... finally! Still need to get below my starting weight (129). That's my goal this week.

Congrats to everyone on all your hard work! Keep it up!

I got some points this week! Yay! I like this point system a lot it was a great idea riestrella!

I was doing really well this week (down 1.2 lbs)... until I went to a brewery with some friends on Saturday and had about 4 beers. :/ I was expecting my weight to be high for a few days but I'm still higher than last week's weigh in. Tomorrow is my weigh in day so hopefully I'll drop a lot of water weight today.
