I didn't do so hot this week. I decided to up my calories to a healthy range and watch my fat/protein/carbs intake better, because I wasn't doing it regularly and my calories were way too low, so in turn with this I gained weight this week.
But i'm okay with it, not going to beat myself up.
Hows everyone? :]

Looks like everyone's doing well.

Remember guys and girls, especially those of you not seeing the poundages they'd like to - take measurements and body fat readings, they help - it's not how fast you are out of the gate, but rather how willing you are to suffer. If you never give up, you can't lose.

Casanova it sounds like despite the gain you're doing what you need to. Now that you're back up to a better intake you can decrease slowly.

I should follow your example of watching my fat/protein/carbs, mostly I've just been monitoring the calories and running from sugar

*waves to focus* Measurements went well minus my upper leg which somehow got bigger. I'm not sure if this actually happened of if I made a mistake measuring.

Due to the magic of my friends loving to play DDR as much as I do i now have less to worry about this weekended. I might be indulging in a slice of two of my birthday cake but I can make sure it won't ruin my eating plans but still getting in my exercise via DDR.

I am going to start decreasing next week i'm thinking, so I can make sure my intake is regular enough.

lady umbra, you should try it for a week or two, or a month. It might seem inconvenient at first, but use Free Diet Plans at SparkPeople, or start a journal on yourown to record it, and it can help a lot. :]
Also, I love DDR! Its my favorite way to exercise.

Or try FitDay.com, if you want a little more freedom to choose what you eat. It'll tell you the % of the macros, but it's up to you to keep them balanced.

Small update for me, I've decided to do a triathlon in the spring (a try-a-tri, shorter distance). Hopefully that'll keep me motivated to workout, beyond just trying to lose weight. Though I may have to take a few swimming lessons again, I havn't had any formal instruction since I was about 8.

I've never actually been on fitday.com, i'll have to check it out now.

I want to run two marathons for cancer; ones in may, and the other is in october, so its plent of time. The second one is a 5k, and i'd love to be healthy enough to run it. since the snow is finally leaving[newfoundland weather=messed up] so i'm taking up regular walking/jogging/running in the mornings again.^_^
Good luck with it, even though its a while away!

Congrats to everyone putting up with the contest
What's your goal for the weigh in 4 weeks from now (3/18 or 3/19) and how do you plan to do it?

My goals:
-for my arms to stay the same circumference (lose fat, gain muscle)
-lose some inches on my stomach (don't know how much)
-continue lifting at least twice a week (I've already increased the weights I lift by a couple lbs)
-continue to do some form of aerobics at least 3 times a week (usually jogging for 20-30 minutes or riding my bike for an hour).
-cut down on bean and cheese burritos from del taco and taco bell, cheese has too much fat and the whole thing just has too much sodium
-walk my dog more often
-get down to 185 lbs (7.6 lbs!!!)

*My goal is not so much for the weigh in but for my measurements. I want at least 2 inches gone off my hips.

*Weight loss wise I'd be happy for 6-7 pounds.

how do you plan to do it?
1.5 hours cardio a day
1 resistance session every day
mandatory 5 hours sleep a night so i have the energy to workout.

Thats a good question!

What's your goal for the weigh in 4 weeks from now (3/18 or 3/19)
I am not really focusing on weight so much as my measurements. I get more success in thatarea, and I feel its more important that a number on the scale that could be inaccurate unless you have a good one.
With that said, my goal is to lose up to five inches on my hips, and maybe 2 or 3 on my waist. my hips need to catch up with the rest of my body asap

how do you plan to do it?
Way too many rounds of DDR, a lot of cardio workouts[turbo jam ftw!], walking/jogging/running, crunches.
cardio five days a week
strength training three days a week.
eight hours sleep ^_^ [ i love sleep x 94395]

What's your goal for the weigh in 4 weeks from now (3/18 or 3/19)

- Be around 142-145 pounds (down 5-8lbs ish)
- Have my "slightly-uncomfortably" tight jeans be comfortably-tight (they have gone from not-quite-getting-past-the-thigh to wearable but slightly uncomfortably tight, with a final goal of too lose and need a size or two smaller )
- down a few inches everywhere, especially the thigh (my problem spot) and that spare tire (love-handles + lower back flab + lower ab flab) another problem spot.
- up my cardio fitness (lower heart rate pushing the same watts on the bike, longer run, etc)


how do you plan to do it?
- 4-5 days cardio a week, (listening to my body to make sure I'm not pushing too hard, strain injuries plague my past)
- continue to eat as I have been ~1800 cals, 50%carb, 30%fat 20%protein
- drink more water

Hey Everyone!

How did everyone's week and weigh-in go?

I was a little disapointed with the number on the scale, I thought I'd be losing a little faster than that. But I am happy with the inches I lost and I think I can start to feel my clothes getting a little looser (see my above post), so I'm not going to be discouraged with the scale.

I am however going to knock out a few calories from my diet (Fitday is telling me I'm eating ~1700 a day, but I'm sure I'm under estimating on some stuff so it's probably more like 2000, which is just over my maintenance requirements. As well, I need to step back from the cardio a bit as I've decided to do a triathlon, and I can tell the running is starting to give me some aches and pains in the knees and back and I'll need some more days off if I want to continue. That being said, I'll need to drop my calories to compensate. So I'm going to aim for ~1400, and will probably actually be eating around 1700. Perfect! I may also invest in a digital food scale, so I don't have to estimate anymore

My goals for this week: restructure my diet as I said above but still get the necessary Macros, modify my exercise as well.

Ciao
