Have to laugh at myself, clearly showing my profession, as I typed your name as analgesic.

158.8 this morning, which is .6 pounds down from last week.

It's odd how things change now that my weight has come down or close to [still overweight but] never-been-as-low-in-my-adult-life levels. Suddenly the number on the scales bounces about from day to day a lot more. Until 2-3 weeks ago, I lost 2 pounds+ nearly every week like clockwork, but it stands to reason that this needs to slow down, especially given I'm also working on fitness and strength.

So after thinking about it hard, I think I need to revise my goal to 1 pound/week, that is 154 by the end of June. The 140s can wait a little longer.

3rd week in a row. To the ounce. I had gained 2 lbs earlier in the week, so I guess it's good that it's not more.

150.7 for Saturday's weigh in. Totally forgot to post it!

Hello - I haven't been connected until today. This was my weigh-in:

150.5

So I'm going up....but my clothes are fitting looser? Some sort of plateau maybe - but it's been a month since I've lost weight.

I have to admit, I haven't been as strict with my diet because I figured my body needs the fuel for these long rides....However - I need to drop the last 15 pounds and I know I need to go back to being very strict with my diet.

So - I've made a decision to start logging my food again on the Livestrong web-site. It has a great database of foods and it's free and pretty easy to log food and exercise. I do eat really healthy foods but I tend to mindlessly eat things....like nuts

I will cut out the coconut yogurt and stop snitching my boyfriends chips....those Whole Foods wheat tortilla chips he buys with the cilantro jalapeño hummus is amazing but I know it's taking away from my calorie deficient and preventing me from losing the weight..

So maybe it's a plateau and maybe I'm overdoing it on the snacking....maybe both. Either way, I think using the Livestrong web-site will help me be more concious of what I am eating.

Good Luck! I found that logging food made it easier to stop snacking on the bad stuff- knowing that even if I only had a 'little' bit I would still have to log it at the end of the day was enough motivation to not have any
If you're dropping sizes though it's quite likely that there's muscle gain there!

Missed the last weigh in - have ben curled up in a ball on the couch with flu Just starting to come good now though! (But oh goodness have I eaten some terrible things this last week!)
Muscles are itching to get back out there - as soon as my sinuses clear enough for me to breathe standing up I'll be back on the bike.. It's taking ForEVER....
