A Weekly Weigh-In
Alright shorties, let's keep ourselves accountable. Every monday morning let's do weigh-ins! I think we should keep them to a format so we can track our progress easily. Something like this
Starting Weight: 115
Current Weight: 115
Next Week's Goal: 114
Goal Weight: 105
sound good? This way we'll keep track of ALL of our successes and failures!
Starting weight: 148
Current Weight: 140.5
Next weeks Goal : 137
Goal Weight: 110
I need to be consistent with my eating and working out. This week I will focus on this bc my health is worth it!!!
Starting Weight: 166
Last Monday's Weight: 170
Current Weight: 165
Next Week's Goal: 163
Goal Weight: 95 - 105
I figured that I'd put in my last Monday's weight so that I can see my loss on a weekly basis.
Yesterday we had the Westover Air Force Base Air Show and we did over 2 hours of walking. I knew that we would be doing that so I didn't go to the gym (beside the fact that I had a paper due for my class).
I was going to go to the gym this a.m. (I woke up with both my alarms), but my legs are still a bit sore and I really hurt one of my toes yesterday (I was wearing flip-flop's that had about an inch height to them and while walking through the fields to get to the base, stepped into a bigger hole than I thought and my shoe twisted to one side and my foot to the other). Provided that it's feeling better later, I'll be going then instead - perhaps getting the kids to the pool first, and then my workout after.
Wondering - has anyone ever been to a sauna at a gym? Any ideas how to "use" it or the length of time to go in? Does it help with water/fat loss, or anything special like that?
Anyhow - great job to those that have weighed in already with a loss!
Terrible week! Beer, ice cream, the works. I was going to get back on track yesterday and then this guy I'm sort of seeing decided to surprise me and take me out for a nice italian dinner and after that to the best bakery in boston for pastries. Needless to say, I pigged out.
Anyway, I was SO scared to measure today but I made myself do it anyway:
chest: 31
waist: 25
fatty area below belly button: 30.75
Hips: 35
thighs: 21
I'm losing everywhere but my thigh! Yay!!! I was SO scared to measure but it turns out it's not so bad - and I already ate breakfast this morning too so it's a little more bloaty than probably when I first woke up
Last Week's Weight: 112 or 111, not sure....
Current Weight: 111
waist (problem spot/why I'm trying to lose): 29.5 in
Next Week's Goal: 110
Goal Weight: 100 - 105
Not such a great week for me, I ended up with 2 unofficial cheat days because I hate hate hate watching what I eat so closely! But I know it's the only way to get down to my goal weight. Will also be sure this week not to have beer in the house, both of my bad days this week were good until I decided I "deserved" to have a couple of beers with dinner. I'll replace it with wine if I still want to have a drink with dinner. The good news is that my arms haven't felt flabby for the past couple of days, I know I'm gaining too much when I feel them jiggling a bit extra and that was definitely going on a week ago!
jbedore76, there is a sauna at my gym and I really just use it to relax sore muscles, usually not more than 10 minutes at the most. I'm sure there's some water weight loss, but I look at it more as a relaxation/reward. I wouldn't stay in it past the point of comfort - maybe a google search or asking the staff at the gym would give you a better idea of recommendations... I think it's also good if you're sick with a cold (not flu), seems to help bring up extra, um, mucous. Sorry about your foot but congrats on the 5lb loss from last week, that's great!

So I didn't make last week's goal of 163 this week, but I at least stayed the same weight. There were a couple of days where I didn't meet my goal caloric intake and a couple others where I exceeded it, so I'm happy with the same weight. :)
After all, this week is another one :)
Starting weight - about 111
Last Monday's - 111
Current - 110
Next week's goal - 109
Goal weight - 100-105
waist (problem spot) - 29
Better than I thought since I wasn't so good about keeping the calories down last week, and last night I averaged out all of my calories since I'd started using calorie count again on Sept 1st and the total of the average shocked me a bit. Probably a good wake up call though, am gonna try to do better this week and look to keep my average calorie intake down to 1500 at least.
Starting Weight:185 (the woah moment when I started trying to lose)
Current Weight:156
Next Week's Goal:154
Goal Weight: 115
Plateaued right now....changing up workout to see if that helps. gazelle/circuits today, intervals/circuits tomorrow... recovery day yesterday so I'll be working out all week. Taking out 10 reps+ per exercise on my circuits so recovery is easier and then can add those in later so I'm building up. Fell off the wagon of 5+ smaller meals so that is starting again this week as well. Next week will be better!
Monday again!
Starting Weight: 122
Last Week's Weight: 116

Last week I think I was retaining water because the week before that I was 114.8 (and I never went over my calories)...so I guess I've only lost a pound in two weeks...that's depressing...
Starting Weight: 12o
Last Week's Weight: 110

I was 108 the past 2 days, and here I am on weigh day back at 110.

Goal weight: 105ish
waist: 28.5 in 
I wasn't surprised that I didn't lose weight last week but feel like I'm slowly cutting out some bad habits and developing better ones. Strategy for this week: brush my teeth at 8pm every night and don't let myself eat after that. Trying it to combat the temptations that are around since my husband's an after-dinner snacker!
Maybe we're stalling because of the change in seasons? lol
Going to have to try the teeth brushing with you kspitfire... knocking out the temptation for later snacking watching mine pick away also would be nice!
Starting Weight:185 (156 cc start on 9/15)

109 this morning.
Ya know, I'm actually pretty comfortable at this weight. It would be nice to get down to 95-- there are some areas like my sides and my thighs that clearly have some extra fat going on. But I can wear most of my smaller clothes nicely now, and the trouble areas aren't visible when I'm dressed. I intend to keep eating this way and exercising, and I assume my weight will keep dropping, but at this point, I'm not in a tearing hurry or anything. I feel good!
Congratulations, Holly!! It's wonderful that you feel good about yourself! 109 is great! I can't wait until I'm satisfied with my weight...

Last week was sooo horrible that I didn't bother to post what I had gotten up to because I was so ashamed; but hey...weight happens. I put my butt back in gear and got back to the same weight as two weeks ago, so that makes me super happy.
My GI specialist also suggested that I take some pro-biotics to help with some of my GI health issues, so I ordered up some livatone. It seems that many of the issues that I have may be a cause of a "dirty" liver, so I'm trying this out. After having taken it for only 2 days now (today is my third), I feel really great, so I'm in positive hopes that it will work and do what it needs to. I do really believe that all of my other health issues will dissolve once my weight gets down to where it needs to be, so, *fingers crossed.*
Also, Holly, if you're happy at your current weight, just a little disappointed with the "trouble areas," then I would suggest doing some toning exercises. This will typically help to straighten out those spots and will give you some muscle mass to help with the fat burning. I know that I have some trouble areas still, but my clothes are fitting much better in most places, which I'm comfortable with...until I get to my goal weight anyhow. So, I figure that the best way for me to be totally ecstatic once I do get to that weight is to work on my toning now, which will in turn help with the weight loss, which will then in turn help with me looking super sexy once I get to where I need to be! I can see the difference physically in me, which drives me even more. Although granted I don't especially care for what I see in the mirror, seeing the positive difference helps drive me more than what I can't stand seeing. Odd, right?

Ok, not happy this week. Made a mistake in listening to well intentioned "advice" and raised calories up over the past 5 days to 300 under what maintenance is supposed to be for me. 1200 calories left me feeling stuffed like a pig and if I didn't push the exercise longer I'd be sitting here today back at 155 instead of holding steady at 153. I broke "advice" by getting on the scale luckily otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see what was happening.
I'm not feeling anything with the 8min series so I'm going back to HIIT and tabala. My push up program is helping shoulders and triceps come back so I do see improvement there. Guess it'll happen but it's frustrating.
