149.4, woohoo! I haven't been under 150 in over a year! I just started tracking calories again this week and really worked on portion control. I'm so excited!

Good job everyone! For some it's easy to lose or maintain weight, for some not-so-easy ... just wanted to say good job for working toward your goal!!

I am at 153. Not too bad considering work still has been crazy busy and there has been chocolate in the office. Mmmmmm chocolate

After 2 months of maintaining around 111-112, my weight has jumped up to 115. I know I didn't eat 10,000 extra calories since last week..

I am following a training plan to get ready for a century ride, with lots of miles, and intervals. I'm eating more to keep up with fueling for the rides, but I am convinced I'm seeing water retention from the increased stress on my muscles (not to mention feeling.

I have one more week with intervals, then a recovery week- when I hope to see that number come back down. I'm not panicking yet.

That sounds a reasonable assumption, I noted that when I was still training for my brevet, before my hamstring problem put a temporary stop to my long rides. You could also be adding muscle as well.

Down to 218# this morning, started on 9/27/10 at 226#.

I was 146 this morning. I have been eating more, and cycling more, so it has worked out. I have done two of longest rides ever in the last two weeks - on 62 miles and the other 70 miles. I want to be able to do a century next summer.

131.8 this morning

I know it is because I've had to really back off on all exercise outside of strength training for the past few weeks because of the hamstring injury. This weekend I get to start coming back though

**limewave** · 10-15-2010, 04:31 AM

151 for me this morning.
Thanks!

113.4 this morning, down a little from last week.

I've been training for El Tour de Tucson, riding lots of extra miles during the last 3 weeks. I'm always hungry and I actually don't think I've been eating enough, but my hunch is that I am still retaining water. Next week is my "rest" week - maybe the water weight will drop off again.

**klesko** · 10-29-2010, 01:09 AM

145.2 this morning. I feel like I am struggling this week, although I am trying to not be too hard on myself because I have had 2 family members in the hospital this week.

**Catrin** · 10-29-2010, 04:25 AM

130 pounds this week - still

I am happy with this considering I have been unable to truly exercise in more than a month do to this *&$# leg.

I will continue to the next challenge with the same goal from this one. I will re-sign up on the new thread when it comes out. I really need the accountability of doing this - and thanks to Possegal for all of her work!

**limewave** · 10-29-2010, 04:39 AM

149.6

And if DH hadn't dragged me out to dinner last night, complete with wine, 3 courses and a yummy profiterole for dessert, I might have made my goal this morning

But I'm not complaining.
