2/11/14 - 327.4 one of these days I will remember to weigh on time. I changed my routine a little & it looks like it allowed my progress a little. I'm ok with that cause I like my new routine better.

2/17/14 - 325.6

2/24/14--304.4
2/28/14--298.4

Next friday seems so far away :LOL2:

Got job

 

[RStewart]

I''m ready. I started out pretty good last year before I got off track & stayed off track. I usually weigh on Mondays but I think it will benefit me more to weigh on Fridays. I will however start on Monday the 6th & then start weighing on Fridays. I've got a long journey ahead, but my goal is to lose 100 lbs this year.

3/03/14 - 322.6 birthday weekend wasn't good for me.

3/03/14 - 322.6 birthday weekend wasn't good for me.

You're still making progress....and we all deserve a good birthday weekend. Happy Birthday!

I on the other hand am afraid to step on a scale today. I'm feeling really fat. :roll:

Still looking forward to Friday's weigh in though.

 

[chrispy186]

I didnt have a good weekend either, but im not stepping on the scale until friday. Idk how many of you give something up for Lent, but it starts wednsday. Im going to try to give up 2 things--soda and late night food. Its not like I drink alot of soda anymore as it is, but I need to get rid of it completely. The late night food is gonna be a tough one. I work second shift and im so used to coming home, eating and vegging out for a couple hours before I go to bed, its gonna be a hard one to break.

Thanks. That's the good thing, I didn't gain. Lol. I know what you mean about feeling fat.

I must jump on this bandwagon again this year. Sitting at 185(15 lbs above my target weight) now. Must get down to 165-170. With the weather this year keeping me off work,seems that all I do is sit around and eat. Let's see how I do.

I didnt feel like I had such a good week, only hitting the gym once. But the numbers are still good, so I will take it.

2/24/14--304.4
2/28/14--298.4
3/7/14--292.8

 

[fender66]

I don't know if I'm losing faith in my scale or myself. The scale seems to be a lot more inconsistent than I am. Yesterday, I weighed in at 209.6 and proceeded through my day with my usual eating habits. This morning, I stepped on the scale to weigh in exactly 1lb more than last Friday. I've been weighing myself 4 and 5 times each time to check the scale's consistency. Some days it's the same every time...other days it changes up or down slightly. Enough of the sob story....here's my "not so happy" report for this week.

1/03 2014 - 215.0 Start Weight
1/10 2014 - 215.8
1/17 2014 - 213.0
1/24 2014 - 214.2
1/31 2014 - 217.2
2/07 2014 - 216.0
2/14 2014 - 213.4
2/21 2014 - 213.4
2/28/2014 - 211.4
3/07/2014 - 212.4

 

[one100grand]

1/3 - 255.2 - no push-up number recorded
1/10 - 257.2 - 13 push-ups - Family was in town and I probably ate too many things that aren't good for me.
1/17 - 255.6 - 17 push-ups! Heading the right direction!
1/24 - 254.2 - 20 push-ups.
1/31 - 253.6 - no push-ups recorded
2/7 - 254 - 21 push-ups. Kind of plateaued again in both lifting and in weight. I know I haven't eaten the best in the past 10 days, probably had a few too many sweets and a little bit too much popcorn. I want to work extra hard for the next 3 weeks because I know that I've got a trip to Mardi Gras coming up and that's certainly not going to help lose any weight.
2/14 - 251.8 - I recorded 12 push-ups last night; I did a pretty intense weight training session on Wednesday night, so last night my muscles sore and I didn't want to push numbers and risk injury.
2/21 - 250.0 - I've dipped on my pushup goal, but have still been working out regularly. When I recorded push-ups on Wednesday, the number was 17.

2/28 - 249.8
3/7 - 246.6 - I didn't record weight last week on here because I was on vacation. Chris - I feel your pain about the scale, I definitely feel that mine is wrong, because there's no way I went on vacation and managed to lose weight, especially >3 pounds. I'm pretty sure that replacing the battery will fix the problem of inconsistency, but for now, I'll keep this weight and cross my fingers that I had a really good week [-o<

Do ya'll take these measurements consistently? Are they always before or after a bio break, etc? Many things in the body can cause/ contribute to short-life weight fluctuations.

It appears everyone is headed in the direction they have chosen - kudos to you.
If it were me I would not get hung-up or place too much time fretting a weekly weight ({EDIT ---this does not need to be here}). I would be most interested in a pre/post cycle weight change - 1 month, 3 months, whatever your planned length of program duration. A week is too little time for accurate measurement of weight loss - imho, but it is still fun to see if there are any "changes" on a short term frequency.
However, do not let the little length of time and the often wild fluctuations of weight cause you to become discouraged.

If you really want to have more "fun" with it then you may want to start checking body fat (I still prefer to "eyeball" results). This would give a person a better idea of outcome in their fat loss quest as opposed to weight checking. You can get a cheap pair of calipers (although not the most accurate method of measurement) to get a ball park figure of body fat since I would presume that the goal of most/all is actually fat loss.
A person needs to also remember that lean mass (aka muscle) weighs more than fat. So as you begin to workout or exercise more lean mass will develop. This can cause a person to lose/maintain/or gain weight, but fat will begin to shed.

Anyway, I'm rambling, good luck on your quest and keep up the good work!

May be time to invest in new scales.

Have you guys ever heard of My Fitness Pal? You can sign up for it on your computer, or download the app on your smart phone. I use it religiously on my iPhone, it really helps you keep track of what you are eating. It gives you a daily calorie allowance based on the weight you enter and how many pounds you want to lose per week. Its been very helpful for me, if you haven't checked it out I would highly recommend it.

I've seen it but I don't use it. It's pretty neat though.

Well another week gone, another pound lost. I knew I wasnt going to do good this week, but at least I lost and didnt gain.

3/14 - 250.4 - The same way I felt last week was low, I felt that this week was high, but I'm happy to take the variance as the weight isn't the most important thing to me, it's more about fitness. I'm excited that things are going the right direction, especially since the spring is almost here and historically I lose a few pounds when the weather warms.
