Tuesday, October 12th Weigh-In

[Kamala]

Held steady this week, which is a minor miracle in itself. Pre-bar exam results stress plus post-bar exam results celebration at Oktoberfest had me way off my diet game mentally. I'm on it this week though.

8/31 313.5
9/7 311
9/14 312.5
9/21 305

10/12 304.5

Intermediate Goal: Sub-300.
Long Term: 200

Also holding steady, which is a bit depressing since I ate really well all week AND increased my exercise. Guess I'll tell myself it's muscle mass. At least I'm still under 190!

9/15 196
9/22 195
9/28 193
10/5 189.5

My scales gave me a range of readings this morning ... not sure what is going on. The range was from 193 - 195. Since last week i was at 194.5# I will call it even for this week. This is a good thing seeing as how it was Thanksgiving here in Canada and I stuffed myself with turkey and all the trimmings!!!

Well it's been a bad week for me. I'm up 3lbs this week. Matter of fact it's been a bad 3 months for me.

Started the Challenge in April and lost 35lbs in the first 3 months. Since July I've been up and down(mostly Up) +/-5lbs, but I'm determined that this week I'm going to jump start my weight loss again. I've got a good start the last two days.

Gotta love the waffling scale effect. I always weigh myself at the same time (right after my morning shower), and I'm amazed how much it can change in a day. Case in point this week - yesterday I was bummed that I was holding steady at 189.5, and this morning it says 188. I'm sure tomorrow morning it will be somewhere else. It's frustrating having 1-2 pound error bars on my readings, when I'm trying to LOSE 1-2 pounds a week!

It's best not to get yourself worked up too much with a 1-2 pound "error." It is good to weigh yourself every week to keep yourself honest, but step back and look at the trend over a month or two and you will see change. Plus, if you just started changing your diet/exercise a month ago, you might be hitting your first plateau. *ducking* All of this takes some time, so be proud of the progress you've made - heck the progress everyone here has made - and let the more important things in this world frustrate you... Global warming, reef bleaching, depletion of pelagic species...

Was up to 257 over the weekend. At least it's easy to drop a recent increase in weight .
