WLC thursday

[laurack]

How is everyone doing? feeling positive about tomorrows weigh in or no?

I have done well this week I think. I haven't done any workouts but I have walked 3 miles each day as part of my commute. Yesterday I ran 2 miles.

Food has been ok, overall I have been at my calories in MFP. The 3 miles of walking gives me an extra couple hundred calories that I need, I really can't eat 1700 a day it's too little. I have been eating about 1900 most days.

I'm not sure about the weigh in, a good poop would really help

At the fair yesterday, I turned on my run keeper app and it said that I burned close to 600 calories. I still went over my calories for the day! Ugh. And the mozzarella sticks I have been wanting for like 5 years, weren't nearly as good as I remember them. The cheesecake on a stick was though...

Anyway, this week has been a complete yo yo week for me. I'm not optimistic about the weigh in tomorrow.

rainbowchip- I liked the calories burned, not the yo-yo part.

I feel great about this week. I'm into the next decade like I hoped. I've done well staying under my calories even though I made some unhealthy choices (see yesterday's post about red wine lovers!) I am doing hot yoga tonight so hopefully I'll see more movement on the scale.

I'm feeling a little down. I've been staying under my calories all week yet I gained 1.5 pounds. How is that possible? Grrr.

Are you too low? I had issues when I was below around 1200 calories net.

I'm at the same weight I was 2 weeks ago. My period really screwed me up last week but I don't have an excuse for this week. I need to get motivated but it's hard when you're not seeing any results. Before last week I was steadily losing at least 2 lbs a week, which I was very happy with. I played around with MFP calories and I think I really need to stick to 1400 to lose anything. I'm not eating a ton of calories but I'm not eating great things either.

Same happened to me. Try upping your calories by 200 or so and see if that helps. It sounds counterintuitive but when I did that, the weight started melting off

I finally saw a loss yesterday but probably because I wasn't feeling well. Back to exercising tonight after a two day break.

Ugh, I am doing horribly. I was supposed to be strict with my diet this month since I was doing my strength training 3x a week, but that went out the windrow. I'm basically back to where I started a few weeks ago. I've just been stuck here for months now and I don't know how to get back to a good place where I am dieting and exercising and losing weight consistently. It's always lose, gain it back, work to lose it, gain it back...etc etc. I decided to take a break for a month on my strength training...I just need a break and to try something new for a month. Since I've been going 3x a week, I'm too tired to do any cardio during the week and I think that's really put a stop to my weight loss. I'm going to give myself a break on the weight training for a month and try going hard on some cardio, and see how I do. I'll reevaluate after that. I just need to see the loss like I was seeing the first WLC! I'm so demotivated.

 ((Hugs)) I hope you get to see some movement on the scale soon to motivate you.

Since Monday - I have been better with eating and exercise so I FEEL better. Not sure what I'll see on the scale however. Right now I'm back slightly lower to where I was last Friday, but that was after going way up on Monday. It's frustrating to say the least so I'm TRYING not to focus on the scale and go with how I'm feeling.

[PatBenatar]

I'm down 1/2 a lb I think? It felt good to get back into exercising after being sick all last week.

Training for a half marathon has made me SO HUNGRY though.

I don't think I had a good week. I had a great first 2 weeks but I haven't been as strict about what I eat. And my birthday is Saturday and I go back to work on Monday so I'm sure I will be eating my feelings. I need to get back on track. Good luck to all!

I think I will need to be satisfied with a status quo. I haven't been terrible, but I do not get an A for effort either. I know I really need to add in exercise on a consistent basis, but I always seem to find an excuse not to make the time for it.
