WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - 7 Weeks-10#'s

[NoNo]

Saturday morning I was down to 122.8 Didn't weigh myself this morning, I'll have to do it tonight. Picking my bike up from the LBS tonight, it'll be nice to get back on that. Not that there's any room to set it up on the trainer - Christmas decorations everywhere!

119 even this morning. I did two sessions on my trainer this weekend.

And perhaps I need to remind you that I'm lucky - did not have to battle Thanksgiving dinner this weekend.

I am just to chicken to get on the scale. I feel quite chubby.

We did a 35 mile ride on Friday (in terrible wind), and I have done absolutely nothing since, except eat and drink.

Wednesday we leave for Charleston for the festivelo, where I will ride, eat and drink for 4 days.

For well over two weeks, I've had a chest cold. Last week, when I thought it was finally going away, I did a couple workouts on the trainer (cold garage, but I was dressed for it). I guess I was over anxious to get back on the bike in some form, because the leftover tightness in my upper chest worsened after that. Back to no aerobic workouts after that, which encompassed Thanksgiving week plus DH's birthday. While I didn't really over eat, I did have dessert several times, something I rarely do. I am also not as good about hydrating when I'm at home as I am when I'm here at my desk with the bottomless teacup. So I know I'm dehydrated.

Long story short, I'm back to square one weight-wise . Tried a short, easy ride of 20 miles yesterday afternoon, but the tightness in my upper chest just won't go away. It feels like EI asthma, which I have had in the past. I'm trying albuterol to see if that makes a difference, but so far, no. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm going to give it a couple more days then make a dr. appt. I don't feel sick. I'm not coughing. It just feels like there's a tight rubber band around my lungs. Bleh...

The ten pounds by year end is not going to happen for me. I've changed my goal to 15 pounds by my birthday in March.

Good to hear many of you fared well over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Well, I didn't do any journaling over the Thanksgiving weekend, but now that Monday is here, I am planning on starting my food and exercise log again.

I am down .4 of a pound - 141.6

October 12th - 144
October 27th - 148
October 29th - 146
October 30th - 144
November 5th - 143 (This was the official starting date)
November 13th - 142.0 (I now have a digital scale)
November 26th - 141.6

At least it is moving in the right direction...

Happy Monday all!

I was chicken and didn't weigh this morning. I haven't been going nuts food-wise but I haven't been good either. I've also not ridden in the past 1.5 weeks because of a cold. I thought I was better and considered a ride yesterday but got busy around the house and didn't. Probably a good thing as the cold seems to be back with a sore throat today. I've been sitting around the house not getting anything done today and feeling sorry for myself.

BUT I thought I'd better check out the wonder TE ladies and decided I'd better weigh in and take a hot shower to help my throat and chest. Surprise! The scale still shows 161 and I'm thrilled. I was sure it would be up! Hopefully I'll ride in the morning and I WILL get back to eating healthy!!!!

Great job to everyone who survived Turkey Day (even if you didn't celebrate it )

I weighed yesterday morning, and was down .8 pound- I'll take it! After the cookie baking yesterday afternoon, I am not sure it'll stay off, but I'm a happy camper for now.

BTW, anybody weigh more than their significant other? I outweigh mine, who is 6'3" and 150 pounds, by a good 25 pounds- how humiliating is that?


I too weigh more then DH. He is 5'10" and weighs 140 I am still at 149, no loss or gain. I went for a nice ride yeterday. It was a little cool, but nice enough to enjoy the day. I didn't over eat over the weekend which was a good thing and I am proud of myself for not having any more desert after Thanksgiving Day.

If I ever weigh more than my husband, I'll shoot myself. We've always been about a hundred pounds apart in weight, and 15" apart in height.
