July/August - Weight Loss Challenge

[GLC1968]

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!

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.

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?

DUH ME!

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!

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. )

Jobob - I'm the same way. If you hadn't felt the need to say that, I probably would have!

Start - 169

Today - 165.5

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

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...been steadily going down this past week...as low as 119 yesterday...then doay 119.6! 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.

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.

184 so I'm down 1 lb from last week

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

163 this morning, so I managed to not gain any weight on vacation!!! YAY!!!!

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

Awesome results Disney!

Thanks

142.3 this morning... though I forgot to weigh myself until after I ate breakfast. So I'm not losing, but I'm not gaining either.
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!

Exercise has been consistent, though.

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!
