Yeah, I notice that too, that I snack less if I've got something to keep my hands busy. Can you knit while walking? I can, although it's sometimes hard to keep the yarn flowing evenly from a pocket or over my shoulder from the backpack. Do you think maybe a biggish chalk bag would work?Quote:

I am proud of myself, as I have been working hard towards this goal!
Im ready for week 3 !
Very inspiring to see all you other ladies succeed!
Nice avatar, Limewave and thanks for the encouraging words!
Today's weight- 170.6 (Down .4 lbs) I just want to break into the 160s and stop hovering around 170 for weeks on end.
I have been trying to follow SB also, but with all the beautiful fresh fruit this time of year, I just cannot do Phase 1 right now. I am focusing on protein, veggies, and fruit.
140.5 today. Another half pound of fat bites the dust! Yahoo!
187.2 lbs
I don't use a digital scale so sometimes it's hard to read between the numbers (that's also result of being in the over 50 crowd). I think I'm down more but will come in conservative with weigh in for week 2 = 134.
3 mtb rides = 21 miles
1 gym workout
36 glasses of water for average of 5.1/day (baby steps)
did good with fruits, vegies still don't much squeeze into my diet
I copied the cells, saved them as jpg ... as a photo server are you speaking of something like shutterfly? did that. I sused the "manage attachements" in the post writing area, now I'm lost. how do it get a jpg wthin this writing?Quote:

This morning: holding steady at 138 lbs
Bike Miles: 55 miles (just one ride last Sat)
Fitness Walking Miles: 16 miles (4 days during lunch break)
Have a great week!
Way to go Bethanymarie. You are doing great!
I am currently 175 down form 178 last week WOOHOO. Now I just need to get in another 40miles before Sunday. Good job ladies. :)
Awesome results Disney!
Way to go everyone! It's fun to see you all working at this!
For my part, here are the results:
1st week - 130
2nd week - 131 :(
today - 129.5
So I really only have lost .5 lbs in 2 weeks, but that's cool. It's the progress that counts.
I rode 105 miles this week, with a 6 mile hike on monday and yesterday did 30mn aerobic with abs as my rest day. Felt good to cross train.
As a note, I have a big ride of 70 miles coming up on August 2, so I've been training for it. It's a community supported ride, should be fun and melt those pounds.
Oh, and as a reminder, for those of us who don't see pounds drop fast enough but exercise lots, remember that muscle weighs more than fat, but takes less volume, so cheers to that.:D
You had that mostly right, Sindyeli :)
Muscle is denser than fat, so like you said, a pound of muscle takes up less volume than a pound of fat. Or, putting it another way, a cupful of muscle will weight more than a cupful of fat. (Sorry to get all didactic on you, but I always cringe when people say that muscle weights more than fat. I know you know what you mean, but I'm anal. :o )
So hopefully my lardbutt will eventually turn into musclebutt ...
In the meantime, I lost a pound this week, down from 154 to 153, woo-woo!
I was afraid that this week I would gain back the weight I lost so quickly last week on SB phase I, but that didn't happen so I'm really glad. And 1 pound a week is much saner than 5 pounds.
I might have lost a pound this week, but it's been so hot I've tried to get enough fluid, but it doesn't help when some of that is microbrew!
146.5 for me today!
I've been on Phase 1 since Monday, so not quite a full week and I'm down a tad more than 3 lbs! Woohoo! :D
164.1 this week.
Starting today, I'm starting to add fruits back in. I've got a very physical day planned for today and tomorrow, so I need my strength! Sunday we hope to take our first pleasure ride in MONTHS. :cool:
Tabby - When you open a 'reply' window, click on the yellow box icon right above the text window (it's below and right of the paperclip icon). Then paste the URL of your photo (from shutterfly) into the widow and hit submit. That should do it!Quote:

YEAH!!
Today's weight 167 which is up a little but totally expected after a soccer weekend in Seattle. I didn't go crazy with the food but didn't make great choices either :o
88 miles on the bike. No soccer for 5 weeks so I'll be able to make the Saturday rides and push that number up.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Started to weeks ago at 120.8...the was way down by 2 pounds in one week. Didn't beleive it, sure enough few ays later back up 120.xx:eek:...been steadily going down this past week...as low as 119 yesterday.:)..then doay 119.6! :confused: But overall that is more realistic...1 pound in 2 weeks. So let's just hope it keeps heading down.
So log 119.6 for this wiegh in.
Eating: not bad, tried to not overeat or drink.
Training: this week was lighter than last, but overall sticking to the plan. Have workouts scheduled for both days on weekend.
K
but I will take it!
Yesterday morning the scale said 158.
I really ate like I should yesterday - only fruit, veggies, and chicken. Plus some popcorn. I drank lots of water. Didn't exercise. Rested like a slug. Read a book.
Today...........
I hopped on the scale in the buff at 6:30 am and ta-da - 155.4. I thought NO WAY. So, I showered, ate, got dressed, and hopped on the scale before lunch and 154. Huh?
I am baffled, but I guess I am at 154. :D
184 so I'm down 1 lb from last week :D
Exercise:
Run 17 miles
Ride 42 miles
Swim 1 hour
Making the SB ahead of time and packaging it for work lunches/dinners worked really well. Last night (day 4 of my work week) was bad because I ran out of food so I threw together some wraps and leftover artichoke hearts but the other days were perfect. It's been good motivation to not eat junk though I did eat a Dove Bar this past week. Last night I got hungry and the temptation was there to run up to Qdoba or Burger King (working at the airport gives me access to LOTS of food) and I decided to drink a glass of cold water and stick it out until I got home.
I think everyone is doing great :D
163 this morning, so I managed to not gain any weight on vacation!!! YAY!!!! :D
Now hopefully I'll be able to record a loss next week. I've been crazy at work and just generally trying to readjust to life after vacation, and I have not been on the bike at all. I made it to my spin class at lunchtime on Tuesday and other than that, no exercise at all this week. The heat is oppressive right now, but I'm hoping to get out for a nice long ride in the early morning tomorrow, before it gets too hot.
This morning the scale said 134.8. Not much difference (and that could be water weight loss), but at least the number is slightly down, not up. I won't claim real weight loss until I see a number lower than my 134-136 range.
I upped my weight workout to three this past week, but didn't get in as many miles on the bike.
Weights = X 3
Road miles - 63
Trainer miles - 30
The air is much clearer now, though I can see the haze of the Big Sur fire when I look south. I'm hoping to get in a ride on both Saturday and Sunday.
119.0 this morning (I was honestly at 117.2 for the last two days - rats).
8 hrs training this week. 1 hr run, 5.5 hrs bike, 1.5 hrs swim
Thanks :)Quote:

Good news though:
- Did 15 miles on Saturday, which is the most I've done at once since I started riding just a few months ago.
- Wore a pair of size 6 shorts today that were a bit too small just 2 weeks ago! ;)
- Put on a dress that I haven't worn in a year, and it practically fell off me! I'm down about 13lbs from this time last year.
Focus on the positives everyone and keep it up!
138.8 as of this morning.
Exercise has been consistent, though.

No change . . . same as last week,but I forgot what last week was. :confused:
Ooopss! Forgot weigh in this am... just finished dinner so I'll pass till morning. Catch you all then!
Jes
I'm down a half a pound (to 134). This weekend doesn't look too promising for riding. I'm working tomorrow, and there's thunderstorms predicted for the entire weekend!
Stayed the same, 179.0
That's not too bad for being out of town all week.
Last week: 171
This week: 169
Yay :D
112 miles riding this week, with LOTS of hills. Another 60 or so tomorrow.
I love summer!
This Friday noon (after red eye flight from LV) 164lbs! I am pleased - my vacation with my parents was more draining than I have expected! The weight loss is a nice bonus!

Hi Ladies.
Am I too late to join?? I'd love to participate if that's ok. I broke my foot in May and have been off crutches since mid-June. I got back in the saddle right away, but I can really use some help focusing on some goals. I can never seem to break the 130lb mark, but have just got myself down to 129 .... my goal is to be 125, but to add a lot of strength/muscle between here and there ...
I forgot to weigh yesterday morning so I weighed this morning when I got up. I weighed 138.6, so at least I dropped that extra I put on last week. That had to have been water retention, but thank goodness it's gone. LOL
Yay, I actually lost 1 1/2 lbs this week!! Down to 138.5 lbs. This after another week of little excercise. I have been watching what I eat a little better.
I'm at 136 this week, that's up a pound. I fluctuate a lot so not a big surprise. Maybe I should have weighed after my ride home in the heat, it felt like I lost several pounds of sweat. We haven't had much summer yet, but the past few days it seems to be coming on strong!
Weighed in on the 18th @ 148.0. Exactly the same. I had been down earlier in the week, but then lost my steam....oh, well.
Keep me at 186.
Riding miles this week: zero :(
On a good note I feel almost normal. Didn't I say that last week? Maybe I shouldn't say anything at all. The word on the street is that this 'thing' lasts about 10 to 14 days, so I'm at day 12 here.
Ya know, this really makes you appreciate being healthy and being able to bike. I think I needed that reality check...
Woops! I'm up! :mad: 166.2
I seem to be stuck between 164 and 166. Time to move on!
Exercise over last 7 days (Sat - Sat)
SWIM 1.5 hours (one OW clinic)
WEIGHT 20 min
WALK 11 miles
BIKE 18.5 miles
RUN 6.2 miles
YOGA 1.3 hours
Here's to a better week!
