146 again - my trainer did my body fat on Monday. I'm down to 21%. I want to get down to somewhere between 15 and 18%. That's somewhere between 6 and 11 more pounds. :eek:

Losing more inches than pounds at this point.
You'll look like Madonna before long. ;)Quote:

Thanks for adding me back on the list PG! :)
243.
I gotta stop eating salty stuff on Thursdays.
Roxy
131.0 for me.
BTW, when I went to give blood this week, they made me get on the scale to prove I weighed enough!
Fridays again. :) I wish it would stop raining around here, my bike and I are missing each other. And I don't do riding in the rain! This year was my first venture into riding in the cold weather, not yet ready to try rain. :)

162 for me. Eating is good, but again, I need to start being more consistent with exercise to build fitness.
207, +1.5
Not sure how that happened between nursing and working out again . . . Maybe it's just a fluke?
129.5.
I've been 129 +/-0.5lbs every day since meeting my WW goal. I'm actually very happy with this. It's means my WW maintenance points are appropriate for my level of activity and current weight.
I've dropped another jeans size, so I think I continue to get a little less fat and a little more muscular as time passes.
Susan
184.0
141.5. Down one more pound. Although I can't help feeling impatient, this is going in the right direction :).
137.2
150 for me. I seem to go up and down. Can't drop below that 150 mark though.
I think my boobs shrunk over the last week :rolleyes:
But I'm down to 155.5:D
131...stayed the same. I am not riding :( much as my granddaughter is visiting until Sunday. :) :)
141. Stayed the same, but something is happening. Dropped from a size 10 to a size 8. I've lost an inch on my waist, hips and chest. So, I'm happy I'm not gaining and super happy to be a size smaller!

More updates.
171.9 It's not a gain...so I'll take it!
Forgot to weigh in! I'll go with the Thursday weight and catch up next weekend for sure: 166.0
Up a bit, but this has been one heckuva couple weeks... and that time of the month. Hoping for a better week next week.
Third Friday in a row with a weigh-in of 164.
12" of rain between Fridays killed a full week of riding and I didn't reduce calories enough. My dad was here this past week and he is supposed to be gaining weight so I guess I am just glad that 50 miles of riding and 3 nights of yoga kept me from gaining too. I fed my Daddy really well last week!:D
Does anyone else here do any weight training? And if you do it, do you usually pair it with a significant (30 min plus) of aerobic exercise?
I work out three days a week with a personal trainer. Monday is leg day and if I do any aerobic activity, it's in the morning. My weight training is focusing on building muscle endurance so I don't want my legs tired before the session. Wed. is upper body and I usually run to the gym. It's a 4 mile route. My husband picks me up after training. Thursday is plyometrics and boxing day. I have run to the gym before this, but boy am I dead after.
Veronica
158.5lbs. Hopefully I am still on the right track.
I forgot to weight last friday morning ......so....I am just skipping it until this friday!
Tina
I kind of wish we could keep track of measurements in the spreadsheet too!
My diet is full of fresh fruit and vegetables, and today I've really gone bonkers for fruit.
I've already had:
1 small banana (@ breakfast)
1/2 a medium orange (also @ breakfast)
1 medium apple (moring snack)
1 cup blueberries (with a big salad at lunch)
1/4 of a large cantaloupe (afternoon snack)
I love fruit because its alot of volume for very low WW points (all of the above only cost me 5 WW points).
I pre-cut/rinse enough fruit and salad fixings for 2-3 days and bring it to work in plastic containers. When I feel hungry, I bop into the kitchen and have a healthy snack! Having fruit handy and ready to eat keep me from making poor choices.
Susan
I don't eat a lot of fruit - it's too high in carbs. :rolleyes: Plus I'm pretty picky about it... no blemishes, has to be just theh right firmness...
Nuts have been my latest thing.
Veronica
I tested out two weeks on a raw diet earlier this year and ate mostly raw fruit (along with raw veggies and nuts too). I was literally eating well over 2000 calories a day but I lost weight like crazy! 8 lbs over the two weeks. Even if it was water weight-- there was a noticeable difference in how everything fit. I also felt really sparklingly healthy. I stopped when I started biking heavily again-- thought maybe fish might be good to eat post rides!
I no longer worry about fruit as carb additions. :D
I agree Susan, keeping fruit around ready to eat totally helps me from eating a pile of crap. Well... not total crap. It's just easier and faster and healthier than a bowl of popcorn.
Carbs are our bodies' primary fuel. I try to get 65% or so of my daily caloric intake from carbohydrates. I'm not a believer in low carb diets, though I recognize that they work for others.Quote:

My favorite nuts are unroasted raw almonds. I don't think I ever eat more than a quarter cup or so. I just think they're so much more fragrant than when they're roasted! I think it's important to be conscious of where your carbohydrates are coming from, rather than eliminating as many of them as possible. I know that my body balloons when I have to many simple, refined carbohydrates. When I have them, I try to make sure they're from fruit or whole grains, but mostly from fruit.
It wasn't until I really began watching my carb intake that I got leaner. But I was a real sugar junkie - still am. I just keep it under control a lot better. I'm doing roughly 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fat. I actually keep track of the grams, so it doesn't quite work out to that - 173 carbs, 100 protein, 40 fat.
Since I really like sugar, I've been limiting the fruit and trying to get more whole grain stuff in. I find it a little more satisfying. I still don't have it quite right - 100 proteins are hard and I like my fats!
Veronica
I find it really, really hard to cut the fats out of my diet, especially when I use straight olive oil on my salad instead of dressing. I should eat more protein, but it's expensive :(
I don't know... my fat intake was really high on the raw diet as well but they were all really healthy fats-- olive oil, avocados, nuts. I still lost plenty of weight.
For me it's about making changes I (and my husband) can live with for the rest of my life.
Everybody is different. Our bodies and brains are all put together differently. I'd go crazy counting Weight Watchers points. Don't ask me why counting three different things is better. I don't have an answer - but it works for me. I guess because after the first week of counting, I just kept eating the same things. :D
Veronica
I've had an anaphylactic reaction to tree nuts before, so they are not allowed in my diet. :) I wish I could eat them since so many experts talk about them as a great snack food. But, I've grown accustomed to the whole inhale then exhale thing, so I've decided to keep doing that and skip the nuts. :) Anyone else know any other good snacks. I'm finding the 3:00 timeframe at work to be a tough one.

Possegal, can you eat seeds? I've recently started carrying a little Glad container of raw sunflower seeds. They're very satisfying and are a MUFA, so they're one of the healthy fats, and all that.
I'm three days off wheat as of tonight. D*H eliminated wheat and dairy from his diet in February and lost thirty pounds in two months. He was riding a lot, too, and had just gotten an iPhone with the calorie tracking app, so he has become a bit obsessive about tracking everything he eats and all the exercise. He did a 42-mile ride this afternoon and probably lost five pounds or something ridiculous. It's just falling off him. He's lost two whole bikes' worth of weight. His average speed has gone from 18mph to 20+.
Me, well, I'm enjoying long rides every weekend, and I've noticed that I can keep my heartrate higher longer without feeling like I'm about to have a heart attack. My speed hasn't increased much lately, though. I'm on a mountain bike - a 12-year-old Palomar GT. Lavender with white trim. I also have a Schwinn gear bag on the front in which I carry a couple of pounds' worth of tools, a spare tube, my cell phone, a small first aid kit, my arm warmers, and some tissues. Oh, and my keys. Not exactly aero.
So really, off wheat, exercising quite a bit, the weight should start falling off any second now, right? I want to get under 240 before we go to Hawaii on Saturday.
Somebody please say yes.
Roxy
"yes" :D
And have a great trip.
channluv--
Does he still eats rice, oats and other grains? Or did he eliminate gluten all together?
