May/June Weight Management Challenge

135. No change.

I've become quite comfortable with my no-sugar, no-grain, lots of veggies-fruits-protein way of eating, although it was very hard to change at first. I now look forward to ramping up my exercise. I did one 43-mile ride this week and one 20-miler, and I felt strong on both. I want to increase my riding to four days a week and re-focus on Pilates, which I have let fall by the wayside. That ought to kickstart losing the next five pounds.

132, which is up after a week of pretty consistent 126-128s. Thursdays tend to be hard workout days for me, and I'm now thinking that a Friday morning weigh-in is just poor timing for me. I'm going to weigh again tomorrow, when stuff hurts less, and see what happens.

I've definitely lost weight. I now have a bunch of bottoms that are too big in the waist and hips

222.0 this morning.

I've been in and out, not especially motivated, dealing with health and personal issues, and off the bike since last November or so. I'm hoping to rectify that last part soon, and to get my treadmill rebuilt so I can use it.

I am proud of this: for four mornings straight I've risen before dawn and taken my dog - also way overweight - for a 30-minute walk around our neighborhood.

I weighed today and I was 159.9
I haven't been in the 150's in a loooooooong time, so I'm thrilled!!!
Next stop 140's. It might take another 6 months, but I'm not worried. Maybe if I lose it as slowly as I have, it will FINALLY stay off this time. I've been there done that with the fast (1-2lbs a week) weight loss and it has always come back on. Maybe 1-2 lbs a month will help me keep it off for good. I'll get there eventually.

142.0 this morning, after a week in the 142.x range.

I keep going between 139 and 140. 140 for me today.

[sookiesue]

151 again this week.

134 this morning.

[SAMbike]

115.2 this morning --- yikes!

[Catrin]

134 this morning.

I know I retain fluid after hard gym workouts but it does get frustrating...since I've the women's mtb clinic next weekend, I will likely only go to the gym on Tuesday this week so that should show a difference at the next weigh-in.

144.0 -- a new low for a WW weigh-in. Woot!

My husband left this morning to stay with his dad in HI for a couple of weeks, so it'll be interesting to see how well I maintain my weight while he's away. I'm generally not what you'd call a nutritional role model when left to my own devices.

Well. LeeBob is still in HI, and we're arranging to move his dad closer to us in the Bay Area. His dad was in a pretty bad car accident in early May (which is why Lee has been out there) but fortunately dad's recovered enough to make the move. With all the necessary arrangements and ancillary bs it's been a godawful stressful month, to say the least. Lee is returning with his dad a week from Monday, at which point our lives will resume, sort of.

Ah, but there's a sliver of a silver lining -- I've had no problem whatsoever keeping the weight off! (I tend not to eat much when I'm very stressed).

So my official WW weight is now 143.8, another new low.

Um, yay?

Jo, I'm so sorry about your FIL. I hope he continues to heal and that the move goes well. Kudos on the continued weight loss though!

[Crankin]

Good job, JoBob.
104.2 this morning.
My weight goes through the same pattern every week. I reach my low point on Friday or Saturday morning. The only difference is that the higher weight is a lower number now.
