I weigh less now than I did when I got married at 19.

Congratulations!

I was one of the rare people who didn't diet for my wedding and at the time was sedentary. So the week after my wedding I weighed for the first time in years at 169 my goal is always to keep from weighing that much again!

**Aggie_Ama** · 10-10-2008, 04:22 AM

I weighed last night, close enough right? 154.5

Hmmm.... After last Sunday's run I did nothing but some minor yard work so that is good enough for me. I seem to be losing slow and 149 is looking possible but not completely probable with only 3 weeks left. That is okay the ultimate goal is what I really care about. If it is slow then it will just annoy impatient me, I know it is healthier.

Keep riding, running, eating well and I will get there.

urgh again!

I'm at the same weight today, but last week on Sat until yesterday I was back down to 139. I'm wondering how much a Wednesday evening swim for an hour and a Thursday morning hour spin class would affect this. Am I retaining water, are my muscles just repairing?

Sigh. I guess I need to start counting calories.

226 here. Seems the more I bike, the more weight I gain

I'm drinking only water, and if I have a small snack when I get home, it's less than 200 calories. I'll assume it's muscle, but it's frustrating!

I did not lose weight when all I was doing was biking. The weight loss really started when I started doing weights and intense core work.

A little self horn tooting: I'm wearing low rise jeans today and my honey informed me that I have no muffin top.

I missed last week's weigh-in because of some work insanity (so it slipped my mind). I weighed on Monday and noticed that with all of my travel and grabbing food at restaurants, I was holding water like a freak (I had bloated up to about 237). The water is starting to come off finally.

This morning: 231.

Still up from my last weigh-in, but I know it's just water. It should make an exit by the end of the weekend.

Oh, and re: weight loss and biking. I *gained* weight when I started biking. And then I injured myself and gained more weight. Unless I'm lifting (fairly heavy) weights, I don't lose. If I don't manage to get into the gym to lift 2-3 times a week, my weight (and measurements) stays the same, or starts to climb. Cardio alone just doesn't do it for me when it comes to controlling or losing weight.

139.4 for me this morning. If I can just keep going in this direction!

**trinena** · 10-10-2008, 08:29 AM

118.5 down half a pound. happy i didn't gain after 2 family celebrations and being on the mend.

**martinkap** · 10-10-2008, 10:21 AM

151 lbs this morning... slowly but hopefully getting close to steady 149lbs. I did see 149 on two of this weeks mornings but did not keep it there. It is a slow process ...

Thanks for keeping up the chart,

Martina

**Over50Newbie** · 10-10-2008, 02:23 PM

141.4 - wrong direction again!!

**AutumnBreez** · 10-10-2008, 04:23 PM

I have finally moved to Colorado and getting settled in and so seems the cold weather too....Brrrrr
Really need to get myself under control, been spinning out for some time, and it's catching up with me-Big time! Stress certainly plays a factor in weight gain and when I combine that with eating to calm myself it caused me to go up a size in pants and cry (a lot). I have been searching for work, we just bought our first home in end of July, and still no find. My husband travels so I play single mom often. Meaning I have to be somewhat close and have bankers hours.

Stress.....I am now at 186 (@ 5'8" tall). Please include me?! Thanks!

**AutumnBreez** · 10-11-2008, 10:41 AM

184 lbs. - My first healthy short term goal is 164. Once obtained I will make new goal 154, and then long term goal is 145.

**jesvetmed** · 10-11-2008, 12:01 PM

In the right direction, yet again! 169.5

**Grits** · 10-12-2008, 10:06 AM

Back up to 140. I needed to bulk up for a long ride this weekend? Trying harder starting tomorrow!
