Good morning! Don't forget to send me your weights.

Are we doing this for 6 weeks or 8?

I think 8? I will have to look at my excel file to double check. I will let you know. You are doing such a great job!! 

I was happy to have not gained any this week, I ate so bad. Ugh.. I would be so happy to just lose 5 lbs. I am going to try to use that as motivation to get back in the game. 5 lbs is not much. 

[sallyowens]

I'm up .4

[rainbowchip]

I'm down 1.8! No cheat day last week really helped! But my sanity needs a cheat day so LC, here I come!

[ashleydl83]

I'm up almost a pound, but I started spotting last night so I know it's all period weight. Blah. At least I know if I'm good the next week, it'll be back down. I was .3 away from the next decade, so it's super frustrating!

[greenkitty98]

I'm down. The influenza this week kept my eating down (because of the sore throat and simply not having energy to get much to eat), but it also made my exercise nonexistent.

Hoping to finish recovering this weekend and be able to start exercising again a bit next week.

[careyalis]

I'm officially out (but I might still post in the threads for healthy eating accountability.) Good luck ladies!!!

[kandrze1]

Stress eating is ruining all my efforts. I gained last week and haven't been able to get rid of it yet. I hoping next week will start to be a little more settled and I can focus more on myself.

[formerlyllizzyb]

Only down .4 lbs this week. Time to clean up my eating more so I can continue to take advantage of the post partum weight loss time frame. 

I've done much better with my motn snacks and making sure they are low cal, high protein. I need to plan daytime snacks and lunches better. 

[chasbride07]

I was able to get back to my week 2 weight after a gaining stress/funeral weight last week. I was really good this week so I'm 4lbs down since Monday so I'll still call that a win!

Hoping to break into the next decade in the next week!

[joyhart02]

I am not in the competition but checking in. I have lost absolutely no weight since I started a month ago but I was able to put on a pair of jeans today that haven't fit since I gained these 10 pounds because of the stupid mirena. Yay!! All my hard work of busting my ass working out every morning and eating clean is paying off even though I cant "see" it.

[mumegs]

I gained 2 lbs from yesterday wtf!

YAY!!  We are having LC tonight.  Have you tried the pretzel crust?  They use cheese sauce instead of marinara.  I didn't really like it the first time I tried it, but the kids LOVED it so we got it again.  I am a fan

They accidentally gave me one instead of my hot and ready. I didn't enjoy it and the kids wouldn't eat it. IDK if it was because I wasn't expecting it or if I just don't really like it.

I think I might withhold sex until my husband brings my elliptical in the house.

LOL, sometimes you have to pull out the big guns!

I'm down 1.4 this week, 6.8 overall. Very happy with that! What date did we start this thing? Was it Jan 5? My goal has been 1.5/week and I think I'm pretty much matching that. Of course, I'd love to see a more dramatic drop, since I'm bf-ing and I'm way over any weight I've been before. But realistically, this is a sustainable rate for me, and I'm doing it while maintaining supply and without childcare. So I hereby award myself two thumbs up!

[kistjenn]

I lost 2lbs this week!  That makes it a total of 9.4lbs for me.  I did have a really good week and kept to my WW points and limited my wine.  I also started just doing sit ups and a little yoga this week, which help me stay focused on my food.  Now I just have to survive the Super Bowl party.

I'm up a little over a pound and so angry and frustrated. I did pretty well this week. I mean I cheated a bit, but not enough to gain a pound. Just trying to stay positive and focused. hard though. I hate weight fluctuations.

Right?! Like before the WLC, I cheated all the time and pretty much ate/drank whatever I want and I gained, but not super fast or anything. Now this week hasn't been perfect, but I ate no junk food, except for the one cookie I had last night. It'd screws with your mind and it is so frustrating. I just started my period so I know that plays a part, but it still sucks.

[laurensmomma]

I did okay this week. Down only .6, but I'll take it given I did almost zero exercise.

I know exactly what you mean.  I know it's just weight fluctuations but when you are trying so hard to lose, it's frustrating.  And I'm sure the Super Bowl isn't going to help any this week either.  I'm just trying to tell myself that it's a slow process and I am seeing results and that is what matters.

I'm down not even a pound and I think that's just because Amelia nursed all night long. I'm proud I worked out Saturday Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday but my eatting was so awful. I'm down a jean size I was trying on clothes at old navy yesterday and bought medium skirts and size 10 shorts! I haven't been that small since before Brady. I have 8 pounds to go from my original goal but I'm hoping to see the next decade next week

[nannerl]

I'm frustrated. I'm up a pound despite sticking to my eating and workout plans. According to the math, I should be down at least three or four pounds over the past two weeks, instead I'm up one. I know I'm bound to hit a tipping point soon and if I just stay the course I'll get results, but I'm tired from H being up 6 times last night and sore from lifting and I made a peanut butter and chocolate ganache pie last night for DH and I just want to down a chunk with my morning coffee!

/vent over

[melmon0417]

I am shocked I stayed the same and didn't gain this week!!

Hopefully I'm down next week, since I'll be starting my period this weekend.

[EnchantedSoul]

The scale moved some, not as much as I would have liked. I'm planning to tweak my diet some next week. I think my supply is being effected so I'm not sure what to do about that. I guess I also need to run more. Losing weight is hard work!

[raynes]

I'm up again. I thought maybe I could lose without tracking. Ha. No. Back to MFP we go!

[Deleted]

It seems like several of us had a rough week. Hopefully it will turn around soon!

[devotchka]

I'm ecstatic. Last week was a dud - but this week I got back on track and lost some weight! 8 lbs down since I started and 20% towards my goal. That's huge! I just had a bagel so probably not the greatest thing but I've been "good" all week. :-) 

Although I just had a bagel w/ cc so probably not the greatest thing but I've been "good" all week. :-) 

Also chopped my hairs off last night. Maybe that explains the extra lb of loss - lol! Pardon the duck face.

I gained. I am having trouble breaking up with bad junk food. I feel like my motivation is gone. I hate it.

hugs. i feel you! i had a junk food week (birthday week) and went a little overboard but you can always start fresh. putting stuff into MFP and pre-making some of my breakfasts and putting little snacks into baggies (veggies/hummus/etc.) for me to be able to grab instead of junk when im feeling weak has been helping me. that and making very filling meals. i realized i wasnt eating enough protein and when i started trying to eat more it i was surprised at how i didn't have as many junk cravings!

Im waiting to poop before I weigh.

I'm on the toilet now. Not much is happening though.

Sorry I'm disgusting.
