Susan - congrats on the loss!

Donna - you are right where did the week go?

Deficit of a mere 256 yesterday. Had quite the appetite in the evening I guess and my daytimes still aren't sorted out as well as I'd like them to be. Missed out on the exercse too. Was trying to get some sleep, but the plumbing got all messed up and dirty water overflowed into our bathtubs so spent most of the night waiting up for the plumber to show up. Of course he never did so we gave up and slept later anyways, I think he fixed it during the night at least. *yawn* Now to make it through another day!

Hi everyone. I worked out at curves today and had a 1263 deficit. It's amazing how much better I do on my days off work! When I'm tired from working I just eat so much more!

Where's everyone hiding?

I had a deficit of 1224 today. Yesterday I went to a street festival and didn't do so well. No deficit I actually had 300 calories over my base. Whats the opposite of deficit?

I found out that the club I go to (womens work out world) is closing. I have two weeks to find a new gym and the only one I know about is Bally's which I don't like very much.

Morning all! Here I am. Again! I fell off the wagon with a huge thump last week. No gym, ate like crap. Lost half a lb. I'm not ever going to understand my body. I'm putting this down to the rock concert I saw last Sunday (much dancing) and the painting of the spare room this Saturday (shoulders feel like I've done 200 pull ups). Still, we have scale change! I've been bouncing between 173 and 176 for months so when the scale said 172.4 this morning, I was taking it!

Deficit yesterday somewhere around 500. I fell face first into the cheese again and there might have been a little bit of chocolate in there too. Bad lynne bad!

Mondays, ugh! So busy will try catch up later have a great day all.

Valerie - nice deficits! I'm sorry about your gym, but I am sure you will find something. I know in my area there are lots of women-only gyms, just not very well known.

Lynne - glad to have you back! Way to go on the loss, sounds like you deserve it.

Friday and Saturday had pretty much 0 deficits and no exercise. Just did not eat well and little to no self control. Yesterday wasn't much better on the eating front but I didn't *keep* eating and I did manage to do upper body weights for a little over an hour so I feel really good about that, therefore deficit of about 214. My fiancee was even making fun of my "little biceps." He is always telling me I am stronger/more muscular than him, but I knew when he was mocking my little biceps that he really meant it instead of just being hard on himself. Hey, I don't care if they are little, as long as they are there!

Lynn congrats on the loss!!!


I hope everyone is doing well! I had a good day today with 1077 deficit. I worked out at curves and did 3 1/2 times around the circuit. I also went for a 1/2 hour walk outside

well I had a deficit for last week of 5280 but I didn't lose anything...oh well I'll try hard again this week...deficit yesterday was 957...didn't get in any exercise but I did alot of hard cleaning at work for 2 hours....will try to get to the gym tonight...

valerie-great job on your workout yesterday...

miles--"little biceps"..lol love your story and your right as long as they are there..

That's a great deficit for the week Donna, sorry you didn't lose anything but still you should be very proud of yourself for such a great deficit.

My deficit yesterday was 300, no cheese but I did finish off the chocolate. I've signed up for my very first spinning class at the gym Thursday morning, I'm looking forward to trying something new.

Woosh, I've been MIA. Have been back on track for almost a week now. I did overdo late last night.
Any calorie counters left around here?
If 3000 calories = a pound, shouldn't a deficit of 5000 be almost 2 lbs? Something is not adding up.

3500 calories = 1 lb therefore 7000 calories = 2lb.

Ok, thanks. I couldn't understand how someone could have a deficit of 5000 and not lose a pound.

Oh how often I've wished that weight came off in a nice logical line like that! But it doesn't ... oh well, on average and over time, it does but not just 3500 cals gone -boop- one pound gone.
wndranne has written a wonderful thread too about watching her weight fluctuate over time.
There are so many factors afoot ... hormones, fluids, heat, salt ... We need to remember that there are other factors that can fool us into thinking that things aren't working right. But they are. Knowledge is power, in weight loss too.

Morning all deficit yesterday of 700 which I'm happy about. Going to be another busy day here today so will check in later.

Susan I agree that there are many factors thats why I'm not stressing the no loss...also today when I weighed I'm down 2lbs from monday so I'm betting it was fluid along with sore muscles...

deficit yesterday of 968...no exercise but I didn't eat very much..it was one on them not hungry days

LynneA- great deficit

I'm having one of those not nothing days. I can't believe it's after 11! Oi!
I have seven windows left and they don't seem to be cleaning themselves
Somebody tell me to get off this darned computer!
