I'm down from 197.2 to 195.6 today. Guess that's good considering how sick and immobile I was on the weekend after a good week of exercise and a not-so-good week of eating.

SW: 153

CW: 152.5

Ehh not such a good week. I actually had a really good week, but the weekend was a mess. I was away visiting a friend, so didn't really work out and ate cookies all day Saturday. But it's ok, its a new week and I'm on a new workout plan so hopefully it will get better from here!

I'm a little disappointed - I've really stuck to my diet (except for the wine over the weekend) and worked out really well the past 4 days and my weight was 154.5 this morning.

I guess I should just try and focus on getting healthy and not fixate on the numbers.

Congrats to those that lost! Everyone else hang in there and keep plugging along!

Hi everyone, it is Monday at about 9:53 p.m.  I am at 139.  Pretty good for having party after party from Friday to Sunday.

Bleh, had a mini binge last night.  Yesterday was a very emotionally stressful day.  So, I'm not stressing today.  I've had a hunch that my body has been needing more calories anyway.

According to my calculations, I should still have a 2,500 calorie deficit for the week.  At least it happened on a Monday night, so I have PLENTY of time to recover before the next weight in!

Kaffwynn: don't worry about it! Monday is still a long way to go!! Yesterday, I had 2 tablespoon of nutella: 200 calories! AND I couldn't find the strengh to go to the gym (I had such a horrible day at work)!!! But today, it's different, let's get back on track!!!! Ahhhhh...

Thanks wonderwall, i'm not in the propper team, it was just races within the swimming club, once a year we have to do 200m of each stroke timed, yesterday i did backstroke, i guess i did ok but i don't know wher i came overall, i think i came 2nd in my heat!! but it was the night where we get to choose our stroke (some of my friends did different strokes to me, and there better than me!!) so i'm not actually that good!! I sorta do it coz its good 4 my fitness, and i love sport.

I'm thinking bout going to the  gym at my tennis club,but i've never been to the gym b4 and i don't know how to work the equiptment!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey sourapple how tall r u???

Oops - weighed in on Monday but totally forgot to post.  I'm at 140.5.  It's a start!

stephaneelee- oops! forgot to put that  im 5'4

Not a problem sourapple90: I add you up there...I deleted all people that did not log their weight... Continue the good work all and be careful over the week-end, but more importantly: ENJOY!!!

I have eaten really unhealthily today, not overeating but undereating!! i have already had a snack, breakfast, lunch and dinner and this is what i have eaten:

1 pinkgrapefruit,

1 clementine,

some leutace, tomato and cucumber,

a v. tiny bit of feta cheese,

and some wholegrain cheese buisciuts.

and it all adds up to like 600 calories!!!

i need to eat something v.high calorie b4 i go swimming tonight (bt i want it to be healthy!!!) coz i know eating this much is v.unhealthy, i usually eat 1600 calories to lose weight.

so what should i eat now? (i'm not hungry, i just want to have eaten healthy today, and not mess up my metabolism!!)

I have been good this week too. Eating healthy and under 1500 - 1600 cal/day mark....I have a question though, can we lose 1.5 lbs a week even we lift weights 3 times a week? along with cardio?

skinybum you will probably only lose a little weight but you will be noticeably thinner because muscle weighs more than fat so you will actually look lighter than you are, but thats a good thing, i had afriend who do loads of sport and she was really skinney, but had loads of muscle, she weighed like 112lbs but she was actually really short!! and that was when we were like 11, but i weighed the same amount as her and i was much taller than her and fatter, haha it dosen't matter tooo much the number of what you weigh if you are thin and have muscle!!

Opps!!! I forgot to log in my weight on monday. I know its almost the end of the week.

sw: 127 cs: 146

Well, all last week I was on vacation out of town enjoying some warm florida weather (Yes, you from florida thought it was cold, but Michigan is MUCH colder!)  Anyways, I ate out A LOT and therefore I gained instead of lost :(  I guess I'll have to work extra hard to make my goal reality!

SW: 153.4

LW: 152.2

CW: 155.2

Change: + 3.0

GW: 135

139.3

That's a gain of .5 from last, week, or .7 from the start.  I'm starting to get really frustrated.  I had a deficit of 3,143 this week, so I should have lost SOMETHING.

Man, it is so hard to stay motivated when you are doing everything right, and the scale keeps going up!  I measured last night, thinking, maybe this is just muscle.  Well, I compared my measurements to September, when I was 126.  Most measurements were about an inch more than they were then, so I don't even think muscle is to blame.  UGH.

Here's me:

SW: 205

Last Week: 203

This week: 200 on the button

(199.6 without my shirt, but I've been weighing myself with my shirt so I will save the "yay I'm under 200 pounds" moment for next week!

Everyone keep on keepin' on...all of us on this thread are going to gain or not lose something at one point or another. For some folks it looks like it may be this week. I watched the Biggest Loser last week and some of those people only lost one or two pounds in their second week--and they were working out 6-8 hours a day with a nutrtionist to make their meals! So let's all hang in there!

Here is me, just 147. So on target 1.5 lost.

Here's my weigh-in for week 2

SW: 151.2 GW: 135

Week 1 WT:  152.7 (up 1.5#)

Week 2 WT:  152.0 (down 0.7)  what a relief-hope the downward trend continues

I have exercised more this week:)

Do all of you weigh yourselves every day, (same time, before or after a work-out, etc.)or just on Mondays?  Curious if weighing myself daily would help keep me on track.  Any tips?
