Weigh In (All)

Another week in the books, how did we do?

Melissa:

I was very pleased to be down 3 lbs this week, making me down a total of 40 lbs! Whoohoo! I am only 6 lbs from Onederland and can't wait to get there!! I am seeing family in two weeks and can't wait to show them how much I have lost. I'd like to lose another 5 lbs before then (maybe 6?) but I am just going to focus on working out and eating right and hopefully the scale will reflect that! My goal for this week is to run 12 miles (either three 4 mile runs or four 3 mile runs) and stay within my daily calorie allowance!

Amanda:

Another week of maintenance here, 177.6, so technically down an entire 2 ounces. With the weather being nice I have found myself outside more doing every day things: mulching, weeding, playing with the kid and doing less of the have to: going to the gym. I also haven't been logging at myfitnesspal.com as religiously as I had. I feel like I am a very routine eater, so I know what things "cost" and how much of something I can eat - I don't need the calculator anymore, I already have the tool in my mind. I'm hoping for another week of maintenance, if I loose great, if not, I won't be heart broken.

Nikki:

Well, my losing streak is over. At least it was only 0.3 pound gain so that's not too much, not enough to discourage me. And I am still under 190 so that makes me happy. My milk supply dropped last week so I focused on making sure I was taking in enough calories to produce milk rather than focusing on losing weight. And now that I think about it, I don't think I did any exercise all week. My goal for this week is get in more exercise!

Teri:

I finally broke through that month-long plateau, and lost 2.3 lbs this week. I am down a total of 19 lbs, and its a beautiful thing. I am continuing to track my foods and have really started trying to change up what I am eating more, and really focusing on limiting the sweets.

As for working out, I went 4x last week, and met with a trainer. He has started me on a program as if I am training for a marathon, so I have changed up my exercise routine for the past few workouts, and will start circuit training this week.

I am wearing many of my jeans that were pre-pregnancy and they fit perfectly, almost a little loose. I am feeling way more comfortable with my body, and people are starting to notice the just about 20 lb loss. It makes me want to continue doing what I am doing!!


Erin: 

I gained 1.6 lbs, but I was expecting much worse. I am going to keep on track this week and hopefully see some loss on Friday. I was just in a funk last week and wasn't very motivated. I am starting my Jillian Michaels workout at home this week also, so that should definitely help.
