Spring / Summer 2012 Weight Loss Challenge

139.6 inch by inch. I already did my meal planning for this week and stocked up on my veggies, so I'm ready for a big number this week.

Stayed at 125 for this week... just barely.

Here's to healthy living for all!

Have a great week everyone!

136!

Way to go, Peg!

I'm stuck at 148.

I don't get it. I SHOULD have lost weight this week. I tell ya, trying to drop weight when mother nature is messing with your hormones is a BATTLE. I'm going ot have to figure out something...the stuff I used to do to lose weight just isn't working anymore.

157.2 almost back to my starting weight. Truth be told, I was 162.4 on Wednesday after returning from Boston. Time to get serious.

132

178

You look fantastic! Let's keep fighting!

136.2 But I suspect I was slightly dehydrated, so I don't expect to also be this next week!

Sigh - up a pound to 126.

have i mentioned that sugar is evil?

Good luck to all!

OK, here is the latest. On a side note, I spent the week at a sales conference in Louisville. Thought for sure I'd gain weight but managed to break even. All in all, a good week.

What about adding any good recipes or dieting tricks that are working well for us?

I started having smoothies in the morning instead of ham & eggs & toast. A banana, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, nonfat yogurt, nonfat milk and protein powder. No other changes and I've been consistently losing 1/2 - 1 lb per week.

I've broken my body's dependence on needing carbs for a 10 mile run. THAT took a while. I used to a charley horse in the intestines when I didn't consume enough carbs, but not anymore. I'm also doing some IF for multiple days. I'm not in a state of ketosis, just fewer carbs.

So, now I'm doing better at losing weight, while running 20 miles a week.

176

(I've been working to break myself of the habit of thinking I need to eat something every couple of hours.)

139.2....Too many bad habits and emotional eating this past week. This must stop!

206.4 lbs. back below the starting weight.

186.

124 for this week.

Hope everyone is well.
