don't know how this week ended up looking exactly like last week. but at least it's not a gain. slowly getting my husband on board with working on the healthy eating. i'm so thrilled!

@tan - great attitude. keep up the good work.

da boys left yesterday for spring break trip with their grandparents. no telling how this is going to affect my week food wise. i'm usually much better when they're around.  :op

hope you all are well. not only have i not been checking in with my weight, i've not even made time to peruse anyone's entries. while i still weight myself daily it seems that life is taking me on a new route which does not currently include checking in with ya'll daily. wish you all the best. until next time. hugs for all!

@wyo - i'm in the same boat (no pun intended) with a game called "bag it". def need to step away from the tablet. lol

and back up to 174, looks like that's my new set point. :op

going out tonight, but luckily the bar only serves beer and there are precious few beers i drink. also, i'll split a burger with my man and keep the calories down there as well. only thing that might cause problems is their fries. i've mentioned them before; the super fries are the main reason i don't go out with hubby every monday. just can't resist.

Original Post by jack_lynx: Woow people, there are some impressive loses here! I'm still at war with my scale, but I've taken measurements yesterday and compared them with ones I took in January.... Almost an inch gone (waist). ^^ So a quick (stupid) question: what's the 'normal' rate for losing inches and how often should I measure myself? :D

i doubt if there is a "normal" rate as everyone will be different in where the lose as well as what they lose (water retention vs. fat vs. muscle vs. combination there of). as for how often to measure, i've never had the where withal to measure regularly, but i'd say monthly or every two weeks, depending on your preference.

hey guys!

i didn't weigh in today. it's been one tough week, food wise. been doing well today, so maybe i'll check the scale in the morning. think it's TOM that's doing me in right now, which means it should turn around pretty quick if i can keep a better handle on the intake quantity. and i REALLY need to get on the exercise wagon (or maybe i need to get off the wagon and walk.) LOL   either way more motion is necessary.

i noticed this morning that the was was almost up by the time i got to work, so i know that spring is almost upon us and the extra daylight hours might help motivate me to do more.

have a great weekend ya'll!

Original Post by jack_lynx: @satyrswoman of course I exercise. :D I can't not to. But for building any serious muscle one must eat in caloric surplus and weight train and even then 0.25 pound of muscle gain a week is pretty generous. 

i have of course heard this litany, but i'm not totally convinced that it is completely accurate. based on everything you have shared with us i still think that muscle gain makes the most sense to explain your situation. but what ever it is as long as things are going in the right direction and you're healthy just go with it!  :o)

Original Post by jack_lynx:
  Little rant time:: I just don't get it. I am getting thinner (my mirror and measuring tape agree, clothes fit better, I can even see some ab definition creeping up on me), but my scale obviously hates me. My weight fluctuates between 130-136 all the time. I was steadily losing about 3-6 lbs/month before this challenge. 

I'm not frustrated, I'm just super confused. I eat in deficit so I definitely didn't gain muscle. I look different, so I must have lost some fat. But only 1 pound difference in 5 weeks, it doesn't make sense! If anyone knows anything about this, please share. ^^

are you exercising? if so then it is possible that you're building muscle and losing fat.

@born - WELCOME BACK!!! great to see you!
