130 |
Starting weight (on May 1st): 144.4 Goal Weight (on Jul 3rd): 139 (Under 140 would be really good!) May 1 - 144.4 May 8 - 145.6 May 15 - 144.6 May 22 - 144 May 29 June 5 June 12 June 19 June 26 July 3---final weigh in Sorry I am late again! What this doesn't show is that I was weighing over 150 on Tuesday. My weight is really all over the place. I think it is stress. So, I have decided not to be hard on myself unless this pattern holds past when my bambinos graduate on June 4th. (I am already worried about the effect gradnite with have on my body and my weight. Up all night, in Disneyland, with a buffet of food.) I tend to eat when I am trying to stay awake. Mocha Lattes anyone? |

May 1 - 144.4 May 8 - 145.6 May 15 - 144.6 May 22 May 29 June 5 June 12 June 19 June 26 July 3---final weigh in I missed last week. It has been crazy around here. I haven't even been logging my food. Hubby is graduating tomorrow so I am posting today's weight rather than tomorrow's because there is no way I am going to get to the computer. There are only a few more weeks of school and things are about to get crazy. I hope to at least maintain my weight until June 12th and then start in on some excellent weight loss through the rest of June. |

Original Post by tryin2lose25: Hey. No matter how big or little, at least it is movement in the right direction. Remember, you had to try to jump start your metabolism by gaining first. I would count the pounds lost from your highest weight during the challenge. In just three weeks you have lost 4.4 pounds! That is fabulous. |

Starting Weight (for this challenge): 151 (this is a good starting point for me) Goal Weight: 145 (this is realistic for my weight loss pattern and will give me a normal BMI.) 2/16 - 151 2/23 - 150 (- 1lb) 3/2 - 149.4 (- 1.6 lb total) 3/9 - 148.2 (- 2.8 lb total) 3/16 - 146.2 (- 4.8 lb total) 3/30 - 147 (- 4 lb total) 4/06 - 145.6 (- 5.4 lb total) 4/13 - 146.6 (- 4.4 lb total) 4/20 - 145.2 (- 5.8 lb total) 4/27 - 145.6 (- 5.4 lb total) 5/01: Final Weigh In!!! - 144.4(- 6.6 lb total) Total Lost: 6.6 pounds!

Pink Team: Week 0. 3/3-3/5: 148.2 Sorry pink team. I am fluctuating a lot right now. Only 3.2 pounds for the entire challenge. Well, at least it is movement in the right direction. I think I will take a break from the next challenge. Maybe I'll be back the next time around. I think I need to stabilize my weight right here before I can effectively lose more weight. (I was at 220 this last summer so I lost a lot fast.) I hear that sometimes the body needs time to adjust before it is willing to let go of more... |

Original Post by tammy_01: I feel that I can safely speak for everyone in that we are not judgemental. You don't have to lose weight. We support each other wherever we are. Its OK if you are focusing on eating healthy and can't exercise all that much. Maybe your focus can be not to gain weight while you are on restricted movement. |

Yes. When you feel more fit, it doesn't matter so much what the scale says. On some days, if I couldn't see the changes in my body and only went by the scale I would give up. |

Rebecca03: I am 5'4" also, although my high weight was way up at 220. I am cycling around 145 now. I know what you mean about 140 for people at our height, people look at me like I'm nuts when I say that I want to make sure I get to 130 or less. My goal might help you in deciding your ultimate goal weight. I am planning on getting to a 130 weight goal and then focusing on fitness goals only, not worrying about the scale number. Just an idea for you to think about... Eechie: One day over isn't anything to really worry about. A lot of diet programs have built in cheat days where you don't count at all. I would just cut my losses and count normally after that. Maybe drink a little more water. Some people do this thing called calorie cyling. They purposely have high calorie days to stimulate their metabolism. You may find that the one high calorie day acctually helps you meet your goal. Did I forget to mention lots of water? Maybe an extra workout or two? (I wouldn't eat too much less. That could be a recipie for disaster. Momof2: Thank you for keeping this up. This support really helps me a lot. |

Sorry. Wednesday I was 143; but, Sunday we went out to eat with the family. I ate a bunch of chips and salsa. My calories aren't over but my sodium levels are. Oh well, I'll be better during the week... |

I'm in here as well. July is the birthday month in my family (not mine though.). So, I am hoping to tone up and look good for all those inevidable beach parties! |

Original Post by momof2funykds: Good job. Sometimes you have to be an advocate for yourself. Don't let the doctor pooh pooh your concerns. You have all those logs that show your daily deficits. This is very good evidence! |

I have been drinking a lot of water. I think I am coming down with something... One week of irresponsible eating and my immune system is shot. I stayed home today and am getting a lot of rest to try to kick this.

A lot of places recommend trying to get in 10,000 steps per day (minimum). The idea is to get sedentry people moving. What you are doing is even better. Here is a link and another about pedometers. |

2/16 - 151 2/23 - 150 (- 1lb) 3/2 - 149.4 (- 1.6 lb total) 3/9 - 148.2 (- 2.8 lb total) 3/16 - 146.2 (- 4.8 lb total) 3/23 - 146 (- 5 lb total) I know it is frustrating for a lot of us that the scale moves so slow. I have to take comfort in the fact that I know my waist is getting smaller, I am wearing smaller clothes, and I look better. The number on the scale isn't as important as other fitness measures, right? (I still get mad at it though. I was an entire pound lighter on Saturday.)

So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
