I had a really bad flu last week, so I didn't exercise at all, but I hardly ate either. In all I averaged 1000 calories/day. My weight got down to 132, mostly water weightloss I'm sure. To my surprise, it was only back up to 133.5 as of yesterday. My highschool jeans fit! I am so happy about that, but I am also scared. When will I return to "normal" or whatever that now is? When will the scale reflect what I "really" weigh? Does it now? How much was fat loss? Will my jeans cease to fit by next week? I'm almost afraid to eat or drink any more than I have been, but I know that I will need to or my metabolism will eventually slow.

No problem buddy. Computer problems suck so much. Id feel pretty damned isolated without mine. Get my Spark and my Honey on this thing and would have a terrible time without either one, so welcome back! And my condolences on your techno difficulty.
As far as the challenge goes I'm still doing well but different:
15 min of strength training on just 2 days
30 min of stretching 6, soon to be on 7 days
40 min of running on 3 days
50 min of pilates on 2, days
20 min of kick boxing video on 1 day

I didn't lose any weight this week, but that is not surprising with how I ate. I will do much better next week as I am starting Jillian's Making the Cut program!

1450 calories a day, six days a week
2000 calories one day a week (not part of her plan, but important for my willpower)
4 of MTC circuit training workouts a week
5-6 cardio sessions a week, ranging from long walks to intense HIIT sessions

current weight: 134.2

My plans--
1. Get down to 181 (I'm 185 right now)
2. Do my strength training 2 or 3 times a week
3. Work out 3 or 4 times a week
4. Check in with my Wii Fit 2 times a week as well :P
5. Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day (I NEVER get enough water, and I never drink much else)

Okay, my goal is to lose one pound a week.

To help me achieve this, here are my sub-goals:
1) Do strength/circuit training 4 times per week for 30-40 minutes.
2) Do 30-60 minutes of cardio 5 times per week.
3) Eat 1400-2000 calories per day, averaging around 1650.

I have not been doing well for the last month-and-a-half. I am trying to get back on track. Hopefully I can get some good momentum in these final days of February and start March strong. My starting weight will be 139.
