128.5.
My cousin and my sister have no mirrors in their homes, except for a medicine cabinet mirror. It sounds like you are doing just fine.Quote:

Hanging in at 138 which is fine by me. Just trying to maintain.:)
145 this morning. I wish I was losing, but am happy with maintaining (as opposed to gaining :)
Ooops, I finally remembered to weigh in today: 107.5
I seem to have found a new setpoint about 4 lbs. higher than my pre-Belize weight. I am not thrilled with it, but with the lifestyle down here, it may not be realistic for me to get back below 105. I would like to get TO 105, but we travel a lot and eat out much more than we used to. Heading out of town again this week Tues-Fri. so I am not hopeful for a good weigh-in this week either!
I'm travelling, so I won't be able to weigh in this weekend but I wanted to update my info. I'm at 152 which while close to my 'goal'...my goal is off. I got my cast off, so 152 without it is actually too high.
I've gained 4 lbs in the past 8 weeks (since my injury). I guess that's not all bad considering that I've done basically zero intentional exercise. I have clearance to swim though, so starting tomorrow...that all changes.
I hope to be down a pound by the last weigh-in of the month!
104.4
My first week since January 1st where I didn't gain over the weekend. I went up a little on Tuesday/Wednesday, but my weight was just more stable overall. I did go out to eat last Friday night, but in general, I've been eating out a little less. I've mostly cut red meat out of my diet for awhile, until I get my cholesterol re-tested, so that may be part of it.
I'm going to the Cape later today, so there will be plenty of eating at restaurants, but some riding, too.
135.
I was very disciplined regarding eliminating breads, pastas, rice, and refined sugar in March. I've relaxed a little in April. I went on a 12-day bike tour and stayed in B&Bs, all of which served amazing biscuits, so despite 50- mile days, i didn't lose any weight. Now I'm back to a more normal routine. I've managed to stay away from sugar; it was so very hard to do for the first two weeks but now it's not a big deal. And I feel great.
I was a bit optimistic in March, but I expect to be at 130 by the end of May.
129.5 this morning. But I did see 126.5 on the scale at the gym yesterday ;)
137 :mad: ( However, I was the exact same weight last night and I've had multiple HARD workouts this week, so I think my body is retaining water. That is the only reason why I think it wouldn't be lower in the morning as that is the normal way of things.
I also had my Bod Pod early this morning...and while my weight is a little lower than when we did it at the start of the challenge, I've lost 3 pounds of muscle and gained 3 pounds of body fat :eek: :( It certainly isn't for lack of exercise! My trainer thinks it is likely due to still not getting enough calories (and my body turning to muscle for energy), the wrong carb/fat mix, or both. I also pulled back on strength training a bit when I started this metabolic training class - and while the class has been good for me in many ways, I need to add more pure strength back into the mix I think. Off to contact my dietitian...
As I look back through my logs, it is also true that I NEVER hit the caloric goal she set for me on exercise days... :o
Added:
I just talked with the dietitian and she chided me for not hitting the caloric goal she set - since we are not worrying about "net calories" she said this makes it even more important that I hit that goal given the nature of my workouts. She also reminded me that my body adapted to quite restricted calories over almost three years at my current activity level and that it will likely take a few months for it to really adjust to finally getting enough. I did not gain weight according to the Bod Pod, so I can't see any reason not to continue to follow her advice and my blood sugar levels seem fine, though I've not had an A1C for awhile....
104.5
I've been overeating this week.
140.6 for two days in a row.
139..up 1 but it could be from uhm....hormonal reasons. I am just happy to be pretty much maintaining.:)
