Me: 176, down 4 pounds since last week. Hey, I've found a great way to lose weight even while on vacation. It's called "Being sick as a dog to the point where you think about going to a doctor!" So, for the last four days I've had a sore tummy, pretty severe diarrhea, and really not much ability to eat much at all. I'm feeling much better now, though. Onward to next week!

I down 7 lbs from last week! WAHOOO!! I tried to lower my amount of exercise because to up my calories right now, while it's hot, I would be stuffing myself to the gills. So I think giving myself a "rest" day really helps...even though on my "rest" day I actually go for a nice long walk. what can I say? I'm addicted to exercise!

Sigh. I'm holding steady at 132. So that makes it about 8 weeks now that I've been at this weight. My body just does NOT want to give up any more lbs.

155. 'nuff said.

I posted in Goals.

Jay

Still 163 My weight isn't budging with 20-mile bike rides 4 days a week and 30-minute jogs for 5 with 1,500 calories, so now I'm taking things up a notch: going to the gym for an hour on the days I don't have work: Saturday, Sunday, and Monday and making sure I spend 10-15 minutes on my abs - I know "spot reduction" doesn't work, but it is a muscle group that is important to me, and I know that if I do the right exercises to build that muscle group, that I might lose a few inches off my waist (it's happened before), even if the scale number doesn't budge. I can't eat any less, because I love food and I don't feel like I would be alright on less than 1,300 calories (my range was 1,300-1,800 but now it's more like 1,300-1,600).

For some reason, I think my body REALLY LIKES the 160's.

Good job, Jay!

Yay Jay!!!! Yay Tealeaf...hey, sometimes being sick seems to boost our bodies into giving up a couple pounds. It helped me a while back to jumpstart my loss. And i never did gain back the weight i lost that 2 days i was sick either.

Okay...me....i am "technically" up to 156. I don't really count it as a gain though because i have been excersizing like a fiend the past 4 days and my legs are very sore. I figure i must be carrying at least 2 pounds of fluids in my muscles. And i don't see it getting any better over the weekend because i have gym class tonight, there is a class i want to take tomorrow and a class on sunday i want to try. then i have my regular class again on monday. so yeah....i don't see anything but water gain in my future. lol.

189--lost a pound since yesterday! YAY! Ate what I was supposed to eat and drank 1+ gallon of water. I hope I can keep this up!!

220, up a pound from a few days ago, but still going down! We have had no kitchen for 2 weeks (remodel) so we are eating whatever is nuke-able or cold. I'm amazed I'm still losing at all with the chaos!

I'm at 167, so same as last week.

Monday I did see 165, but I had a few drinks last night, so that's why I am holding fluid, I expect my weight to be lower later today as I'm working in the heat all day.

I did try counting my calories this week. It seems I'm hovering around 1600, or 27 points, probably on the high side for me?

I'm at 173.5, down a lb from last week.
I know I should be grateful with losing 1 lb a week, but I really much preferred when it was 2! I think I'm gonna drop my calories a tiny bit and see what happens...

150.5 but I'm rounding up to 151. I'm really shocked. I haven't counted calories in over a week, and on Monday I went to the fair and ate a huge basket of fries, a funnel cake and an elephant ear. I got away with it, muahahaha.

I thought I'd have a hard time getting back on track after that week - but I actually lost two pounds. Hot diggity.

I am not weighing in till Monday. But I did wanna stop in and congrat everyone for either losing or maintaining.

155.5, down 1 lb from last week. I should be happy, but I'm finding that I'm getting more and more impatient the closer I get to my goal, haha.

Congrats to everyone.

I'm down 1lb. from last week (actually it's the pound I gained last week) so I guess technically I should call it even . I'm working real hard this month to get down to my mini goal of 140. I've been working to lose this weight for 8 months (sometimes not so hard) so this is my month to finally get it done!
