Back to my start weight.  Down 3 from last week.

I, Augenblick, do solemnly swear that I will work out 5 days a week.  I have been good about getting 4 days in but I need to bump it up.  My mini goal is to be 5 lbs lighter by the end of September.

I also stumbled across a website called Lion's Lair (I believe that is the name).  They are in Florida and they sell bathing suits and lingerie.  You might have some luck there. 

Congrats on the weight loss.  I knew I was onto something.  My body fat stays the same no matter how much I exercise or weight I lose.  Well in all honesty, it may go down a percentage or two but it is never substantial. 

Thanks for your response.

Sounds great.  Count me in.  I just hope I remember to weigh in on the 3rd.  I will mark my calendar right now!

Hopefully, this is just a fluke but it has been a rough week.  I think stress just keeps weight on you no matter what.  I have exercised and my eating was in check so it has to be the stress.

It sounds like your muscles are retaining water.  Stick with it.  Don't worry.  You should see your weight drop back down (and then some) within a couple weeks.

Total so far (including April 7th)  406 deficit/14000.

I think I get the award for lowest deficit but I am still going.  My burn meter says that I burn only about 1670 calories so it is hard for me to get a big deficit.  The good news is that I lost 2 lbs this week so I must be doing something right.  I only have about 10-15 more lbs to lose and I find these last lbs are definately the hardest to shake off.  If anyone has any advice, I would love to hear it.

Good luck everyone!  Onward!

I don't know if I am figuring this correct but how are people getting a thousand or more calorie deficits in one day?  I thought it is only healthy to get around 500 a day?

Hi, I am new here but would like to join the 14,000 group.  I am going to go easy the first month.  Thank you so much for doing this.  I think it will exactly what I need to stay on track.

Also, what is your body fat?  I am about the same weight and height as you and my goals are very similar however, losing weight is not as important to me as losing fat.  I want my body fat percentage to go down and the only way to do that is lifting heavy weights and HIIT.  At least that is what I am reading on this site and others.  Good luck and I definately feel you pain.

Frustrated and annoyed by my lack of progress lately.  I am bouncing around 150 and would love to consistently show numbers below 150.  I have been exercising, eating clean and whole foods, drinking plenty of water....doing everything by the book.  I think my body just wants to be 150 and my mind wants to be about 10 lbs. less.

Anyway, maybe next week..

Healthmd,

That is a perfect goal.  Running in Central Park with a bunch of like minded women?  That is soooo cool.  You must do it.

I am glad to see your post as I was wondering how you are doing.  What is your strength training routine right now?  Are you are following a specific program?  I do better with programs.  I have 3 more Shreds before I am done with my second round of 30 days.  It is still hard but definately easier than when I started.  I am just getting bored with it and my body is not showing the results it did on my first go around.  It is amazing how quick your body tends to adapt to exercise.  You just have to keep mixing it up.

Gram,  You are I seem to be in the same boat.  Let's buckle down this week and see what happens.  I just can't seem to keep on track with logging my calories.  I am still mentally monitoring but having a hard time hopping on the computer and continuously logging.  I might just try writing everything down in a notebook instead. 

Good luck everyone and hopefully we all will be a little lighter on Thursday.  And then, St. Patrick's day is just a few days away.
