Dar - looks good to me - if you can't lose weight doing all that exercise, something's wrong!
Tuckervill - sorry you had a fight with your mom, and ended up eating for solace. I too have found my emotions have changed over the past 5 years. Let's just hope it's another "stage" that we'll get thru?...

Well no inches were lost this past week, but none were gained, so that is good.
Droped 2 pounds and my body Fat % keeps heading in the right direction. 
Interestingly, this was a one month experiment for me. I actually cut back on exercise and the weight and inches and body fat began coming off again.

BMO - well I think sometimes it takes your body a bit of time to catch up or adapt. Maybe the loss you saw this week was due to things you did the weeks before? I cut back on calories and exercise and nothing seems to happen for a few weeks. Then all of sudden I drop a couple of pounds. Then I plateau again for a few more weeks. It's happened to me a few times.
DH thinks maybe I'm losing weight again now because I've been going strength exercises regularly for the past month. He figures I've gained more muscle and my metabolism may be increasing. I hope he's right.
I was down to 120.5 this morning! My end-of-March goal is 121 so now I will have a little bit of leeway when I'm off honeymooning next week.

I have been losing every week, usually between 1.5-2 pounds as well as inches and body Fat % (yay!)

Congrats on exceeding your goal. Originally Posted by kelownagirl

BMO - I am 5'3", and pretty small boned. I was 105 lbs in my youth. Went up to about 110-112 in my late 20's. I want to see how I look and how strong I feel at 115 lbs. I should theoretically be at the low end of my healthy body fat percentage. I want to see what it's like to have an athlete's body fat (15%? can't remember). I am not obsessive about it all. I am curious and willing to try for it by summer. Then all bets are off. I will eat reasonably and enjoy life. I will hope to use exercise to maintain my weight. I do NOT want to yoyo diet all my life.

Can I join in? I have some goals, and have lost about 12 pounds in the last 4 or 5 weeks. I would like to lose 10 more before the middle of April. I started out with two weeks of straight induction Atkins to curb my cravings for sweets, and now am on low fat, low calories. Went out to dinner tonight and got extra veggies with my baked salmon instead of a starch - it was awesome to feel fulfilled and not have all the extras. I feel like I am on a roll. I am 5'8" and built muscular, and put on weight in the middle with just normal eating, so I have to be extra vigilant to get it off. I wear size 14 levis that are getting pretty loose - woohoo!!
