March/April Weight Management Challenge

[Chile Pepper]

123 this morning. The last two weeks have been dreadful. I'm hoping things will return to normal soon so that I can get back into a rhythm. Yesterday and today were better, so I think there's hope.

I will weigh in tomorrow. I forgot this morning and then weighed myself at a much later time, after eating breakfast. Should not have done that. Number was scarily high for me.
Good thing is, I lost my appetite after that.

Between a heavier workout week than normal AND my batteries are low in my scales (can't seem to get the silly battery out), I am skipping my weigh-in this week. I won't be happy if I have to replace the entire scale because I can't get the battery out... The battery is completely surrounded and nothing appears to move to enable it to be switched

Thank you!

107.0
Slight downward trend. I'll take it.

Ya my scale is suckin' here lately lol...this morning I was 143...some of it's hormonal water weight...and the rest just too many bdays w/desserts to celebrate, and Easter is this week-end...so then thank gawd it will be a steady stretch off the party eatin' train until Mother's Day...so that's my log-in for this week.

144.4.

Still cold outside and busy at work => not enough exercise. I am getting back some of the strength in my legs from indoor trainer rides, so that's something.

Tomorrow I leave for vacation for a week. There will be homemade cookies...

125.6 this morning - I will take it!

My trainer has convinced me that I need to add a few more carbs back into my diet, especially during a post-workout meal. My total carb intake still won't go over 100, but right now it barely goes over 60...that is too low for my activity level There are a broad range of non-grain or processed carb sources for me to choose from but since reversing the diabetes last year I've been restricting a bit too much. I will try it...

143.8. Not as much as I hoped, but in the right direction. I'll take it.

[KerryCrow]

I have been 143.5 for each of the last two periods. No progress...but happy not to be up. On the road so no gain is good.

[Crankin]

I am starting to hate this thread.
I am at 107.4. I stopped weighing myself everyday. I did weigh myself on Wednesday, and I was 106.2, so I thought I had reversed the trend. 107.4 was pretty much my normal weight before I gained a couple and lost a few last winter/spring. So, it's probably my set point. Pants are a little less tight, so we'll see what next week brings. Overall, a stagnant or downward trend.

Back from a long trip and gained a bunch of weight. I haven't biked in four weeks. I still am at 111 pounds. Today I am going for a ride. Hope I can pedal 30 miles into the wind after being off the bike so long.

[murielalex]

142.2. Slow going, but going down.

[Catrin]

126.8 this morning....sigh... However I DID work out, hard, for the last 5 days in a row that included heavy lifting (trapbar squats) so am likely retaining water. Today is a rest day and tomorrow I am just planning an easy 60-90 minute spin outside to break the legs and bike in. It promises to be windy. It will be interesting to see what my weight looks like by Sunday morning. I want to ride this afternoon but am down-right fatigued, I KNOW better than hit the gym 5 days in a row!

[Crankin]

I also am resting today; my low weight was after a rest day, but then I went to a spin class, when I should have done yoga or hiked. I expect to be riding a lot this weekend, so right now I am getting ready to go out for a leisurely walk.
I was pretty tired, too, after riding 3 days in a row, two hard boot camp classes, and a spin class with only one rest day.
