Sunday Weigh In - July 24, 2011

We've come through another week and once again, it's time to weigh in and let everyone know how you're doing.

I did really well all week; kept my weight about the same as it was last week, though some days it was down, some up a bit.  This morning I'm up by a full 1.6 pounds, but I'm sure I didn't gain that much fat.  My fingers are swollen really badly this  morning, and my face is all puffy, so tells me it's water weight.  While I would prefer to weigh less, I'm not concerned about the gain, because as soon as I get rid of the excess fluid, my weight will drop back down.

I've been eating well and doing a lot of walking at work.  I'm still working the 10 hour days, so don't have much energy left when I get home.  We do still have my aunt with us, so caring for her adds extra work to be done, as well, though my husband helps out a lot with that.  I have only 3 more weeks of the 10 hr days, then I'll drop back to regular hours just before school starts.  That will give me an extra 2 hrs each day, so hopefully, I can get back into exercising regularly, again.

Okay - that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!  How was your week?  I hope everyone else has been more successful than I have, but if not, let's see if we can work on it together, so we can all succeed.

Wishing everyone a great week.

Let's win by losing.

So 'officially' I was up 7.4lbs this Sunday - last sunday I was 182.4lbs -  this Sunday I was 189.8lbs, today (Tuesday) I am 185.2lbs

I ate bad on holiday but not enough for that kind of fat gain so a lot must have been fluid -  which is why 4.8lb has come back off in 2 days. (1 day of being sensible and 1 day back on the Fat Loss For Idiots Diet) -  

My goal this week is to get below 178lbs then I will be at my lowest weight in 12 years... a HUGE milestone for me :)

I'm up one pound, which is usually what happens over the weekend.  I usually lose the weekend weight by Tuesday.  Am kind of discouraged though, as I've been gaining and losing the same pound all month, despite kicking up my exercise a notch.  Wondering if the problem is water retention, as I've been drinking a lot of water due to the extra hot weather we've been having.

I've already lost 25 pounds since the end of January......need to lose at least 50 more.  Giving up is not an option as my continued good health depends on my continuing to lose weight.

Any good suggestions on how to break a weight plateau?  The same thing happened to me last month, my total lost for the month of June was a measly 2 pounds.

I have been out of town since July 14 and just got back this evening.  I didn't weight this morning and I will on my own scale in the morning.  I can tell you right now, it won't be pretty.  I didn't exercise as much as I am used to due to the heat wave. I did do tons of walking, just not as much as I am used to doing.  

Oh well, it is what it is and I have my work cut out for me.  I will report in the morning.

I've done really good on this cycle of my program. I've lost 10.8 lbs this cycle...for a total of 16 lbs since the end of June.

I'm happy and am feeling so much better physically. I had been pretty ill since the start of 2011, so it's good to feel good again.

bebe....remember my first 3 "free day weekend" I gained 7.6 lbs, but I ate stuff I shouldn't have in amounts I shouldn't have.

I'm on my last day of my "free day weekend" and when I weighed in this morning I hadn't gained anything.  I didn't want to spend half of cycle 3 taking off what I gained by pigging out on these 3 days off.

I haven't been drinking enough water this weekend, but am working on keeping up with the 84.5 fl oz of water daily...on or off.

Good luck to you on your next cycle!
