Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #8

Hi!

Thank you, Jimmie and Georgiana for your words of encouragement and education.

So ... with great anticipation ... I stood on that wicked ol' scale ... and ... I lost ... not a frickin' ounce. Still at 181.0 Ugh!

Well, this week, I begin weight training at the Y along with cardio. Let's see if that makes any difference. [I doubt it - why break up a great "run" now?]

Tootles and I'll see you all tomorrow!

What about inches? Are your clothes fitting looser?

Good for you!

Don't freak out though if you see an increase on the scale. When I changed my weight training routine, I gained something like 5 lbs overnight (not fat, of course)... and it took over a week for the "masses" (sorry, Jo ) to leave.

Did I say that I didn't weigh yesterday? If I didn't... I didn't.

And I weighed this morning and lost... <drum roll> ... 0.1 lbs!!!

A what what challenge.

I measured myself Friday. No change there either. And, no, they aren't fitting any looser than they had (from losing the initial 17 lbs.).

Don't freak out though if you see an increase on the scale.

I don't see any way I can freak out any more than I already have. Sorry ... just really, really bummed out.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #8

Rebekka I am on day 11 with no weight loss, actually .6 higher than 11 days ago before. You could be like me and stopped right after I started RUNG 1. I went 12 days without a loss. Don't fret yet. I go from 5-12 days after weight loss. I was sooo upset after that 12 day stop but I have learned since that is just me, could be you too. I know it's frustrating, but it will come off.

How long have you been on RUNG 1?

Try on some smaller clothes and see how they fit.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #8



Ok, I am pulling myself out of the challenge for now. Since I already cheated last week there is no point in me staying. Maybe I will try in a couple of weeks. I just can't stay away from the scale.

How long have you been on RUNG 1?

I have been on Rung 1 for - tomorrow will be - 9 weeks.

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #8

Why don't you move to RUNG 2 or if you don't like dairy go on to RUNG 3? You may start to see a difference.

[Rebbekka Mead]

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #8

I thought you had to stay at a certain Rung till you have a 'continuous weight loss' - where as I have had none!

If that's the case, then I'll go up a Rung. Is that right??

[JaxMama]

Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge #8

You haven't had any weight loss in 9 weeks? That can't be right, it says you got to 188 on 2/10 and today you were at 181. That is a difference of 7 lbs in 1.5 months. You have lost weight on RUNG 1. Some people still lose weight even at pre-maintenance.

Just by those stats it seems like you are right on track for the amount of weight you want to lose. I moved up rungs even if I didn't lose weight. I am more looking for my CCLL since I have chosen not to have a weight loss goal. That got me too frustrated.

Since you are far from being obese, I would move to RUNG 2. You can stay there as long as you want. I just got bored very quickly and wanted to eat more dairy.

We all will have pauses. My weight loss is a constant stall until 3 days of significant weight loss. It's just the way I am programmed.

I think your body is bored too.

If you are really concerned post a fit day menu. Make sure you are getting enough water (that is a weight loss deal breaker for me). Make sure your fats are above 50% Most on here will suggest in the 60% range. I find I don't make over 60% daily fat some days. Eat your veggies too!
