Sorry! I forgot that I had even requested it. I PMed admin awhile back and hadn't heard back and then I forgot about it. Just logged in today and saw that they changed it.Quote:

I did a "little bike ride" this weekend. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=37908 I calculated that I burned in excess of 12,000 calories on that ride. I didn't weigh myself on Monday, but I did on Tuesday and was up SIX POUNDS. Today, I'm down SEVEN from last Friday, so it was obviously all water. Neither of these things surprised me.
Why do I mention it? Because I often read threads on these forums from people who fret about "gaining weight" after bike rides. Repairing muscles need lots of water to recover and rebuild. Just like me, your body will release that water when the job is done.
So - I'd recommend hiding your scale and weighing yourself just once a week. We are all going to fluctuate day to day. It's the long term trend in your weight that really matters, not the day to day bouncing around. Weighing yourself every day can easily discourage you. (I know from whence I speak - been there, done that. :o )
Nice work this week ladies!! Keep it up!!
BTW - Limewave, you're doing amazing!! How much are you down total since your daughter was born? Seems to me I recall you being over 200 then.
138.8 today. Not much of a change, but still in the right direction.
Susan, that's so true. After my 25k, I was up 2-3 pounds. And after an Adventure Race, forget it! I'm always up 5-8 pounds. I don't worry about it anymore because, as you mentioned, a day or two after that I'm back down. I figured it was water and maybe lactic acid and inflammation.Quote:

I think around December of 2009 I had given up hope of getting my weight back down and I took most of my clothes to GoodWill. I am really regretting that now. I did hang on to my most favorite clothing items and its great to be wearing them again.
One of my goals is to fit into my wedding dress for our anniversary in mid-July. FYI, I did not have a traditional wedding. I wore a silk summer dress from Ann Taylor. I have one more size to go down and it will fit! I can already put it on and zip it up, it just pulls on the hips.
Duh, I knew that. Bear! :)Quote:

Holding steady for me. No change.
165.8 today
Yes. My father-in-law, three days after his 74th birthday, in April. My grandfather died in January, and my father died in November. All three were in hospice care and all three had family with them at the time of their passing. I was there for my father and grandfather. My husband was by his father's side when he took his last breath.Quote:

And I can't seem to get back under 230. It's minor compared to all the other stuff going on, but there it is.

205.5, should have checked in on Friday, think I was down a smidge, instead of *up*.
Since I didn't ride this weekend ( http://www.ohpv.org/HPC/index.html ), I helped out with race organization and ate the red vines meant for the racers. Oops, but hopefully it'll come off again OK.
I was 166 this week, but I am tapering for a half ironman sunday!
184.6 this week
Friday again!? :)

Same for me as last week.
And, yay!, I've noticed a definite change from last week to this week in how my pants fit. My clothes are starting to look good!
174, wrong way! :( Dang this is hard. Thanks, gals for the support.
174.4
Woohoo...movement! (and some new numbers, too!): 157.9 for me this week.
I'm also now tracking my body fat and my measurements and I lost just shy of 2 lbs of body fat and ZERO lean body mass since last Wednesday, so I'm very pleased. My goals are to lose the fat, keep the muscle...what the scale says is only secondary.
Today I am wearing a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to wear in two years. It's actually a VERY good thing since I managed to drip white paint on my only other pair of 'nice' work-appropriate jeans! What timing I have, huh? :rolleyes:
139 for me!!! I broke into the 130's! I haven't seen that number since college.
Good luck Kacie!!Quote:

137.4 ...which is a mystery to me how I lost anything since weather kept me off my bike for much of the week. I will take it though :D
230.6
Headed back down, but that under-230 is still eluding me.

156.6. After being on vacation all this week, that's pretty good ;).
204.0 this week! :D
