Fly-by report. I had a good week but only resulted in .6 off. Ah well, next week WI should make up for it.

Not sure what happened, I was off plan but certainly didn't go crazy. I figured some of it was water from some Chinese food, and I'm down a few from my weigh-in on Sunday. Back on plan with calorie-counting since Monday and exercise is good. Running my 5K tomorrow. Gwen, you're still 15 lbs. down from the first of the year, which is a solid lb/week. Awesome! Arabella, looking forward to seeing your next weigh-in! Lani, fantastic loss this week!!! Cat, welcome! Anagram, I'm in the same boat! This is tough. Born, welcome! Staci, you've had such great, consistent losses - wtg! |
I def. didn't have enough protein this week, in fact I don't think I ate enough of anything - I'll make an effort over the next week to increase my caloric load.
20 Mar 11 - 381 26 Mar 11 - 373 (-8) 2 Apr 11 - 371 (-2) 9 Apr 11 - 368.5 (-2.5) 16 Apr 11 - 368.5 (0) 23 Apr 11 - 362 (-6.5) 30 Apr 11 - 361 (-1) Natamars - I'm sure most of that gain is water. It sounds like you're back on track though, good luck for next weeks weigh in :) Gwen - Stalls are so frustrating, I'm sending good vibes your way. Arabella - well the good news is you're still losing, but I know it's hard sometimes to see a small number when you've been working hard all week. |

I want MORE! :tantrum: So, I spent the entire month of April trying to bust through 195. My goal for May is to lose at least 8 lbs - aiming for 180 though. 13 lbs in a month doesn't seem unreasonable, but I know that 8 is realistic. I've added whey protein shakes for muscle recovery and fat loss - hoping this will speed up the losing. Has anyone tried this? Anagram - Have you tried logging in your food? I go back to about.com /caloriecount every now and then to check where I'm at with calories. And I've added more cardio - at least 40 minutes every other day minimum, shooting for daily. That finally broke the plateau for me. Research whey protein for weight loss - this is supposed to help. (I've put a good article on my blog.) Staci - WooHoo! Under 210 is great! You'll be in onederland soon! Natamars - I expect that you'll be down to 132 at the end of May. I would LOVE to see 132 on the scale - I'm sure you look fantastic! Lani - thanks for the good vibes! 20 lbs in one month is absolutely amazing! How are you doing this? Arabella - YAY! You've broke through that plateau! We should see some great losses this month! New Chicks - :welcome2: |

Finally making it back into Onederland, it's been a couple years since I've secured my place here. I'm making a vow to myself to never allow the 200s to appear on my scale again. It's all gone from here! Gwen You're doing so great! Keep up your hard work, 2lbs in one week is PHENOMENAL this far in the game. :) Arabella I'm the same as you, you almost get upset at the scale because of all your hard work and only 1lb lost, but keep in mind that's a WHOLE POUND. Imagine taping a pound of butter to your arms and thighs, that's what your body lost in a week. Keep it up! staci Way to go on the loss this week! kneed2lose Of course you're welcome here! I'm new as well, but we're all in this together. Gotta support everyone who makes an effort! :D |
1/7: 141
1/14: 140.2 1/21: 139.2 1/28: 138 2/4: 136.6 2/11: 137.2 2/14: 136.2 2/18: 134.4 woo-hoo!!! 2/25: 137.0 3/4: 135.2 3/11: 137.4 3/25: 137.2 4/1: 135.8 4/8: 134.6 4/15: 135.4 PMS 4/29: 138.0 5/6: 134.8 Looks like it wasn't a true gain, but it took over a week to get rid of the water from excess carbs and salt. Interesting. Really hoping to hit a new low for the year next week. Did my first 5K last weekend and doing another this weekend. ArEyBee, YAY for staying in onederland! kneed, welcome! anagram, NICE!! gwen, you've lost 17 lbs. this year. That's fantastic! arabella, you're having some nice steady losses - wtg! staci, awesome loss! lani, 20 lbs. this spring - wow! |
3/31/11 - 208lbs
4/7/11 - 203.5lbs 4/14/11 - 200.8lbs 4/21/11 - 198.3lbs 4/28/11 - 196.8lbs 5/6/11 - 193.8lbs So I realize 3lbs in just over a week this far along seems a bit drastic. I'm slowly changing my weekly weigh-in day from Thursdays to Saturdays. For some reason I had originally picked Thursday evenings after work for my weigh-in time. This is when I still have all that food from breakfast/lunch and any water retention going on from throughout the day weighing me down. I realized what a terrible idea an evening weigh-in was just yesterday. I hopped on the scale after eating platefuls of Tex-Mex potluck at work for Cinco de Mayo and my weight had stalled all week (Still had me reading at 196.8lbs). I knew it wasn't right; so this morning I went in to the gym after having a light breakfast and I was at 193.8lbs. I know I did not lose 3lbs overnight if it was not excess food/water retention in my body. So moral of the story is, don't weigh yourself after a long day of indulgent/carefree eating. Saturdays will be the best day for me to get the weigh-in done because I'm always at the gym first thing on that day. natamars Great job on the loss! I can only imagine what you're going through so close to your goal weight. I'm both loving the idea and dreading when I get there because I'm sure I'll be bouncing all over the place and driving myself crazy! Good luck on your 5k this weekend! |
Up .6 this week, despite a very good week. I could have been more perfect but was pretty darned good.
However, I did start hot yoga last Monday and supposedly a lot of people gain wait at the first in acclimatization to the heat. Also, any time I do anything that stresses my muscles in a new way -- and this sure qualifies! -- my muscles retain water. Expecting a good loss next week, though, for sure. 1/8/11: 231 1/15/11: 229 1/28/11: 229 2/5/11: 228 2/12/11: 227 2/17/11: 227 2/28/11:228 3/7/11: 230 3/14/11: 229.5 3/24/11: 228 4/4/11: 225.8 4/11/11: 227.8 4/18/11: 225.6 4/23/11: 225 5/2/11: 223.6 5/9/11: 224.2 Natamars, congrats on the nice loss and the 5k! :woohoo: ArEyBee, thanks for the visual -- yes, a pound of butter is sizeable, isn't it. I will be glad for each one gone! I've actually got a Tanita scale that measures water, muscle, fat, etc. Now would be a good time for me to start tracking that stuff again. Gwen, yup, this month we're going to make some serious progress. :yes: Kneed2lose :welcome: Anagram, there's your lowest yet -- HUZZAH! Lani, good idea to have a plan for how many calories/points/whatever you should have. Staci, how's it going? K, this doesn't precisely qualify as work, so I'd better get to it. Let's kick some behind this week, women! |
I'm new here (this is my first post) and I really want a weekly weigh-in to keep me accountable. I just started my 'program' last week on Tuesday, so I'll pick Tuesdays for my weigh-ins:
5/3/11: 142 My goal is 130, but I would settle for 135 or less if I can attain it and MAINTAIN it. This gets harder the older I get. =) |
I'm new to this thread, and feel that I really need to do something as I haven't lost weight, and feel like I need to be kept accountable. So here's what I have so far from this year:
1/28/11: 152.0 2/05/11: 150.5 2/12/11: 153.5 2/17/11: 151.5 2/28/11: 151.0 3/07/11: 152.0 3/14/11: 151.0 3/24/11: 150.0 4/04/11: 151.5 4/11/11: 151.5 4/18/11: 154.5 4/25/11: 156.5 5/02/11: 154.0 5/09/11: 155.0 As you can see, it hasn't been a good year for me. I have not been in the 150's for this long in my whole life. I really need to step up the workouts, and stay uner 1200 cals. Good luck to all. Thanks in advance for the encouragement. :) |

I want MORE! 5/10/11 - 192 - there it is!:carrot:YAY!!!!! I've been eating clean - mostly. I ordered The Eat Clean Diet Recharged - so far it makes perfect sense, and there are shopping lists, recipes, etc. Everything sounds great, eat a lot (clean foods only) no calorie counting, some exercise... basically eat ONLY clean foods and you're supposed to lose about 3 lbs a week... we shall see. Here's a link to the website - http://www.eatcleandiet.com/ We're all gonna do it!!! THIS is our year to finally lose it and learn how to KEEP IT OFF. Everyone stay the course - don't give up!! Plateau's are temporary if we eat right through them (get it?) |
