I recall reading that there are some mechanisms the body has for holding on to a weight, making it easier to gain than to lose. Losing tends to go in thresholds, where you can lose a bit, then your body hangs on at that level for a while. You have to keep at it ("it" being more exercize, less calory intake) and eventually you start on another step downwards.
Thank you gals for keeping me at it. I seem to have finally broken through the 180-pound glass floor. 178 this morning! Woohoo!

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Ladies, I'm sorry I missed last Friday. I was a the hospital all day doing pre-op stuff and never got to it and then had surgery on Monday. I am still doing this if I can, I will weigh in again this Friday. I hope it's okay I missed one week.

DDH -- I hope you are recovering well from your surgery! Please take care of yourself!
I didn't do quite as well as planned this week. Got lots of miles in on the bike, but also got lots of cake and ice cream in after the rides. Up to 202.6 this week.

Weighing in very happily this morning at 180. Down 2.6 lbs. I had a long ride last saturday and everyday I either bike / walk. I am going to push myself a bit harder this week to break through the 170's! People are starting to notice my body changing and that keeps me motivated .. as well as all of you! 2 weeks left of this challenge!

Sorry I've disappeared
Hey Ladies,
Sorry I have disappeared and not kept up the exercise log. As I said a couple weeks ago, issues with parents ... my father was diagnosed with lung cancer and with mom's memory issues, my sister and I are having problems getting information. They live in Florida, I live in Ohio, my sister lives in California. Anyway, I've got more on my plate than I want and haven't been able to check in on a regular basis. Sorry.
I know I didn't weight in last week, but this week I am down to 131. I've cut 10 minutes off my 'usual mtb ride' since mid July ... yea me!
I'll get back with you all soon.

Seems I've been eating like crazy lately - building winter fat I guess. Gotta stop!
