171.8. Why, why, why when every one else has a good week I gain weight and how, how, how did I gain weight? I didn't do anything different. Same calories, same exercise. I don't get and am very frustrated. Thank you for letting me vent.

Susan, that's awesome and inspiring!
I'm really glad this challenge is here- it's really helping me stay focused- my official weigh-in day is Monday but I know I'm going to be reporting here on Fridays, too, so it helps me stay more conscientious through the week.

168.9 for me this week. Finally moving back down again.
This past week, I've been monitoring my calorie burn with this: http://www.gowearfit.com/ and I've been logging my foods but not actively trying to cut back. My goal was to get in a full week of 'normal' so that I'd have a baseline with which to compare going forward. Of course, the sheer act of recording everything I ate is keeping me a little bit in check even without trying. So now I'm back down to where I was when the last challenge ended (just about). I've been really good about my exercise this past week and I plan to keep that up. BUT, I'll be cutting back a little on my intake and hopefully I'll be able to make some real progress. I do feel like I am learning a TON about my metabolism...so I'm excited.
Nothing like a good geeky electronic tool to get me motivated again! ;)
Just a reminder to let me know if there are any issues with seeing the chart. And remember if you can't see from the first link, you definitely should be able to from the second. Not sure if google ever worked out the problem where folks were still not being able to see it even if they were logged in. I should probably just start putting the second link in, rather than confuse things any more. :) I may start to do that. Let me know if that causes any problems for anyone.

181.2 for me this week.
Didn't weigh in last week. We were at a wedding from Friday early AM to Sunday. DD was the flower girl :) And with the tree taking out our power early last week and being displaced from our home, I've been eating a lot of junk! Hopefully didn't do too much damage to the progress I made.
Back on track this week!
pssst, Possegal...I think you missed me.
234.2 last Friday
This morning, though, 231.6
:)
Roxy
Weird, I am sure I put it in there. Though sometimes I think I maneuver away from the site while still on that square and I think you then lose the change. Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :)
I put in your Friday weight, unless you want the today one. Though both of them are outstanding - congrats!!

I'm in.
235 today. 230 goal.
Darilyn
Trying to become one with my Sirrus.
(I swear the poor thing groaned this morning, but rolled faithfully onward.)
Sorry I have been out of commission lately. Thankfully not the seasonal or swine flu which has decimated our school population (I teach). I have been holding at 140 lbs. I did see an endocrinologist about my diabetes and we have agreed on 135 or less as optimum weight. So, I guess I'll try to reach this point.
Thanks for always putting together the list!
Mistie
Holding steady at 148.6. I have noticed some significant body changes this week though. I didn't do before measurements when I started working out but I've definitely lost inches around my hips/waist. I'll have to try on some pants that used to be really tight on me when I get home and see how they fit :).
So, no weight movement, but definitely have firmed up all over and added muscle so I'm happy.
232.2 today - this weekly recording really helps me see the weight pattern fluctuations, the ebbs and flows of it. I can see the results of going off my blood pressure meds - a nearly-ten pound gain in a week - and the results of getting back on them - a six pound drop almost immediately, and now I'm back to the gradual decline that is healthier, no doubt, for my heart. I'd really like to get off the meds eventually. I thought I'd reached that point, but when the full weaning happened, my blood pressure started creeping back up and the weight came right back on. I don't understand the biomechanics of that. It's water weight, I know. The night I went back on the full dosage I literally lost four pounds (I was up and down all night going to the bathroom). It's been more gradual since then, thank goodness, but still effective.
Woohoo!
Roxy
Good morning everyone.
My weight today: 127.4 - only 1.4 away from my mini-goal. I am very happy to be using a digital scale with increments of .2 pounds for weeks when there is more variation. Lately though, it's been a slow and steady "down". (There was a big ice cream cone during the ride yesterday, but it's been accounted for.
I weigh in for weightwatchers on Monday and again for this challenge on Friday. It really has been keeping me focused but also makes me a little obsessive twice a week instead of just once. The bigger challenge will be maintaining my loss when time constraints and/or weather cut back on my ability to keep up my current level of activity.
Thanks to you all for sharing this and I hope everyone has a successful week.
moving in the right direction: 129.0 today.
somewhat off-topic, I took my cats into the vet this week for their checkup, and both my older cats have lost weight and are now lean, mean purring machines. Getting them a kitten really upped their activity levels-- and increased the competition at the food bowl too! So I've got a leaner, fitter household all around...
195.2 hmmm . . .
Not sure this is completely accurate. I know I ate a lot of wedding cake, ice cream, and pizza over the last two weeks. We'll see if this holds up :)
well...I am at 153. I have been so busy at work, some days working 13 hours which does not leave a lot of time to exercise and I am just mentally drained. Hope next week will be better.
I was going to post that I didn't weigh this morning, but I did. I also am about to post in the 'what did you eat today' thread that I ate almost an entire large pizza by myself last night. My first binge in years. :o I think I was punishing myself for something but I haven't quite figured it out yet.
Anyway, I'm up today. 170.9. Two pounds exactly. And two days ago I was thinking that I was feeling slimmer and that I'd probably see a drop this week.
. . . been there. Why do we sabatoge ourselves?Quote:

I was over my daily burn by 1300 calories yesterday. That's not even a half pound's worth. Certainly not enough of a reason to 'throw in the towel' as I've done in the past. I probably erased my entire weekly deficit (it wasn't a very good week exercise-wise either), but I certainly didn't eat enough to gain real weight this week.
Ok, I feel better. Putting it past me now. Moving on...
Limewave, that's awesome. I know you've been dealing with a lot and that kind of stuff sends me straight to comfort food. Good for you! Even with the cake and pizza. <g>Quote:

171.0 moving in the wrong direction. 8 years ago when I quit smoking my weight shot up, since then I have lost weight right to this 170-172 and can not seem to cross over into the 160's. To prove this to myself I ate cake for dinner last night and after weighing in today I had Chipoltle for lunch: the entire chicken burrito, chips, guacamole and a margarita.
I'm now thinking of doing something really strict: a cleanse, sllimfast, the cookie diet. I don't know which yet or even if yet but I have to, have to get over this hump.
I just looked at the chart and realized Channlluv has reached her goal. CONGRATULATIONS CHANNLLUV:D
I did? Woohooooooo!
Time for a new goal. It's just so easy to get complacent and slack off, but today I swam 600 yards in 25 minutes, then met a friend at the lake - my superfit black belt friend- and we rode 12 miles in about 45 minutes. Not back to back, so not technically a brick, but my hair was still wet from the pool as I was riding around the lake.
Thanks, TE! I seriously would not have done this without your help. And thank you for noticing, Jones. You rock.
Roxy
Yes you did. That's why your numbers are in a new color! :) I didn't realize it with last week's weigh in, just realized it today. YAY you!

That's what that means? I didn't know that. Cool! And appropriately, it matches my new bike nicely. <g>
Thanks!
Roxy
Yep, that's what it means! The original sheet, designed by martinkap, had it set into the programming to change the color when the goal was met. Overtime, I've screwed that up. :) But not that tough to go in and change the color myself. It's important to highlight the meeting of goals!! CONGRATS!
Congrats Channlluv- great job!
Down to 180.8 this week. My last weigh-in at WW last Tuesday was up .2 lb, so I decided to clean up my act the rest of the week.
Congrats to Channelluv! And I think it counts as a brick if your hair was still wet!
Finally making progress again on my end. Down to 214.6 this week.
I have been wavering between 146 and 149 for the past week - depends on which way the wind is blowing...
Congrats Channlluv! Those little victories are motivating
Yes nice job Chanelluv!
Possegal - please put my weight down at 138 for this week and last week.
At least I am consistent. :rolleyes:
But I am cetainly not losing either.
Lynette
171.6 A little progress
Congratulations Channeluv!!!!!
As for me, last weekend's weigh in was 168.6. Forgot to post it, sorry! Hey -- at least I'm not quite to weigh in this week yet!
Trainer weighed me this week and I am at 145! I am using the 'work out less because you are sick' method.
Ok, I'll post again tomorrow with my actual Friday weight for the challenge.... but today I was 147.6! Down a pound, FINALLY!!!! Happy dance time!
I've been hovering at 150 and I've been neglecting to post :( But still... that's a loss from the beginning. I've got to do two lbs in one week!
150 dead even as of this morning
still at 124
171 Slowly....
