136.5 today. I agree Brok, this is a slow process. I'm sure it would be faster is I'd work at it more.

139.8

That is good news for me. I am very excited to finally be below 140!

I am really committed this time. It's weird how that happens every so often. I don't know why this time feels different, it just does.

I guess I am just ready to do this.

180.4 still. What is my deal?

And I'm sick. Again. It seems like I've been sick since Thanksgiving. I hear this happens to parents of young children. Lots of rest this weekend for me. I hope to hit the gym/pavement hard again next week.

148.6

I can't have eaten enough to cause a 1.6 lb gain. Maybe it's water?

I had a bad/stressful week but I didn't think it was this bad. I guess next week I'm going to have to work harder and be smarter about what I'm doing/eating.

Oh well, I guess in the grand scheme it's not that bad. Back on track today.

I kept to my vitamin goal last week but not my exercise goal. Probably a big part of why I gained this week. So next week my goal is 3 days on the bike and 3 days strength training.

139.2 for me

I weigh myself almost every day and this week had been about .2 lb off every day or so. It's been very steady. I had a pretty mellow week workout-wise, but my eating habits have been excellent.

155 for me and I echo the remarks made already - this is slow. I know for me personally, it is because I have eaten out too much. Even though I pick the very best thing on the menu, there is still the mystery of how it is prepared. I have to get past this plateau of 155. I have been stuck here forever. On the BMI scale, I am in the healthy range and I look pretty good, I am just not completely happy with where I am at. I have been down to 146 which was too skinny, and so I'd just like to make it to 149-150. It is so frustrating to be so close and not be able to get there.

I checked out Jillian's plan (The Biggest Loser) and according to my "body size" which is pear, I need to eat less protein. Apparently is metabolizes slower. I currently eat lots of protein. I am going to swap things around this week and see what happens. Break out the veggies.

No more eating out, either!

121.8 Whooptie-do.

I have been working out about an hour a day on average, burning at least 2000 calories a week and eating about 1500-1600 calories a day. I STILL have to lower my caloric intake I guess. I usually only lose weight if it's down around 1200 but I figured with all the extra exercise I needed to fuel a bit more. I'm eating 55-60% carb, 25-25% fat, 20-25% protein.

[GLC1968]

Exact same as last week for me: 161.1

But, to be fair, I did start weight training again this week for the first time in over a year, so I'm sure I'm retaining a truck-load of water. I'm certainly sore enough!

I'll try to get an updated chart posted this weekend!
