Glad to see this thread is still alive and well and that others are still doing the challenge as we approach the final weigh in.

I've been doing really well, but I've been struggling since the weekend. I'm trying to get it back on track.

Okay, I came back strong this week!! Started with heavier weights at the gym, and kicked up the cardio with a myriad of different things to try and kick the 156 mark. Alas, to no avail. I broke my analog scale, bought a new digital one. I really do not like it. I am not sure with this scale what my weight is!! I am either still at 156, or at 157.5, or 158, or 144 (my personal fav!)...... so I am sticking with 157.5 (gain of 1.5) or 156 (same, same same.) Uhg!

It's been a pretty rough week. I had been doing pretty good on my food (only over by 100 cals one day other than last night with my mad at the scale/ body mini pig out. But that was also only like 100 or so cals over) And with my workouts I've gotten in about about 15 miles so far and I'm only down .2 lbs!!! Very frustrated. I leave for the beach tomorrow and I'm going to do my best to work my butt off in the hotel gym, on the beach, and in the pool!!! :)

Ella --- I have the SAME problem ---- to the point that I don't want to even go on the scale because that would only make me more mad. I wonder if this is because our bodies are just telling us that our current weights are where we should stay?
As for the motivation - is the baby tiring you out? I know mine is and there is noooo energy left for any type of working out ... but I agree THIS HAS TO CHANGE

I had a little bit of a better week. I'm down to 186 (again)which brings me down a total of 3.2 pounds. I'm a little sad about that though, I had hoped I would lose more. I've only just started to actually track my calories and am getting a real education here!!

I gained 1 pound this week. I was sick and didn't feel much like excercising as my regular routine. So I totally expected it. It's been difficult so far this week to get back into it. But yeah, definately going to work harder this week.

I gained .8 pounds this week and I need help!

I can't stop eating or get off my butt!!!

I haven't really worked out in I think TWO WEEKS and I eat anything and everything. I walk around my house, literally shoveling things in my mouth! I haven't had this problem in a LOOOOOONG time!!! I don't gain much so I can't be going over my calories TOO much but the scale is still moving in a very depressing direction. What happened to my motivation and why am I sooooooo hungry??

I did a lot better this week than I expected. My 10 week challenge goal is 177 and I can't imagine not making it since today's weigh in was 179.8!!

I'm in the 170's!!!! I haven't been in the 170's since the beginning of my pregnancy in 2004. This is a 4 year low.

I gained a pound this week bringing me to 187. I knew I was going to gain because I had an extreme meltdown day and ate upwards of 5000 cal on Wed. I felt absolutely gross after that.

Confession time! Uhg, I went to New Orleans last weekend, did not make the best food choices, or drink choices. No gain on the scale!! On the other hand, I went riding with my DH Monday, felt terrible Tues. & Wed., so......I took the week off on the exercise front. I have not lost any this week......no gain either. I broke my scale, so now I need to buy a new one. JOY.

Keep up the great work, and next friday I will have a better report! At least I will have worked out consistently next week!!

Weigh-in at 1.5 lost. The scale did say a pound under that. So I added 1 more for water weight just to be safe. I need to step it up. I have been slow moving so far this week. I don't mind if I don't lose anything.. just no gain and continue.

LW: 307
CW: 304.2
Loss of 2.8 pounds

This week was pivotal because I was able to get rid of my 'fat' scales. I had a set of scales that only went to 307, and I had to get a new scale that went above that to reflect my starting weight of 320. I think I actually lost more this week, but in scale changing, I'm ok with the loss I got. From now on I'll be 'exact' in weight measurement since this one is digital. It's really good to be under 307. Ahhhh.

Alright, I don't think it was noticed but I feel that I owe an explanation. I made my goals this week not thinking about my placement tests on Thursday. So, most of my fitness goals I simply ignored. I got about 30-60 minutes a day, didn't ignore my diet, etc. But I didn't go gung-ho like I normally do:) Anyway, I did great on my placement tests (I registered for classes today, so hopefully I get into all the ones that I want), *and* I am down to 125.2!!!!! After my gain last week, I am pretty excited about that:)) I also changed my goal weight again after talking to a couple of other nursing moms and recently nursing moms. My new goal weight is 120, which is also my hopeful weight for the end of this challenge. 5.2 pounds to go!!!! I am ecstatic!!!!!

Hi LOPIN_SLOW

Did you re-enter your exercise level in your goals?

I don't mean to sound rude, but 1200-1550 seems awfully low for that amount of exercise and your current weight.
I think you may find you need to eat more.

I know this happens to me when I don't eat enough and exercise like crazy!
You only have to check my nutrition log to see I have a lot of trouble eating enough!

I'm game!! TBL is hugely inspirational for me. I've been plateaued (weight-wise) since December, but I've started to burn through some inches in the past couple of weeks. I've got my imaginary Jillian on my shoulder screaming at me as we speak!!

Thanks for your kind words BWESTHAVER - I am certainly hearing your advice and I know you are right. I am still a little bummed but I'm ready to kick butt this week. If it's still possible to reach my goal weight by memorial day weekend, you better believe I am going to!!!! If not, well, I'll certainly push and shove to get as close as I can

:(( Ok so I know that I had a bad week but seriously....

I had a gain of 2.2 pounds!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I seriously met every single one of my workout goals, and yes, calories wise, I know they were a little high but there is absolutely NO WAY that I hit upward of 4,000 calories a day, which is what mathematically I would have had to have hit in order to go up that much! I'm seriously depressed, what happened?

This week I stayed the same. We call that a turtle in my TOPS group. My next weigh in is on Tuesday instead of Thursday so I really need to get on the ball and be super "good" this weekend!! Maybe I can squeak by with some sort of a loss!

This is the halfway point and I'm not doing nearly as well as I had hoped!
