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.

No change for me.

But, a lightbulb moment at the doctor this morning. She asked if I was having any problems, and of course, I mentioned that I can't seem to lose weight. She looked at me, looked at my chart, looked at me again and said, "Did you ever stop to think that this is the weight you're supposed to be? Why would you want to weigh any less?" I didn't have a good answer for her.

Down one, putting me at 178. One by one I'll get there.

[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!

[snowtulip]

Holding at 117.0, and I agree, it is a very slow process! But keep at it everyone.

I don't want to quit the challenge, but I'm not dropping any weight. Been eating pretty well, but I guess not good enough. I lost one pound, but have gained it back. grrrr... I'm frustrated all around. How about losing weight via getting a body part chopped off? I don't really need two butt cheeks, right?
