Winning Together -WW and friends of WW 11/11 - 11/18

eek - that's ok Terri - I know exactly how you feel - this is a brand new week!

Think of it this way - It's muscle gain (muscle weighs more than fat)

And if this is indeed the case this it is great b/c your body fat % is dropping and your RMR (resting metabolic rate) is increasing - now you will be burning more calories at rest.

Just keep training and eating healthy!

Now, now...muscle does not weigh more then fat, it's just that the same weight in muscle takes up less space then the same weight in fat (1 lb=1 lb)

Remember, a weight loss journey isn't just about what the scale says.   We don't have our weights displayed on our foreheads (thank God).  Other people will measure your success based on what they see...if you a re leaner, taughter, more pulled together, then you are a success. 

Okay, you got me there (a cubic inch of muscle will weigh more than a cubic inch of fat - how's that? )

And you're right... Often times from a trainer point-of-view, you try to keep the client OFF the scales and ask them how their clothes are fitting.  The scale is merely one of many different measurements that can be used in tracking the progress of weight loss and training.

Afterall, isn't that why we're weighing in only once a week, you don't want to become obsessed by the scale.

MUCH better   (that is just one statement that always irked me...I'm a science geek...can't help myself.)

As my WW leader put it, the scale is just feedback.  You need to determine BEFORE you get on the scale if you've had a good week, you can't let the scale determine that for you. 

Welcome Carolyn!

This is a great group to take with you on your weight loss journey :-)

Weighed in this morning at 162.6.  Almost two lbs last week.  I think a lot may be due to work stress.  Though, I did go to a wedding last night and didn't have any cake or sweets, just dinner.  Matter's fact, I think I only had four pieces of candy all week last week.  That's pretty good for me.

Is there anywhere else that I should actually be posting my wieght?

Thanks Jana.

I think my weight was off by a week.  The 4th being my first WI was 164.4, then this morning (11/11) I was 162.6.

I gave it a try at editing the spreadsheet, not sure if I could or not.  But I don't knwo if it saved or not.

Thanks for all of your work on the spreadsheets, it's appreciated.

that sounds yummy Janna!

Thanks again for the work on the spreadsheet!

me thinks it's time for some more inspires to some of our friends that haven't been around for a while :-)

we've all been there! 

And, don't you love it that every day is a new day!  I know I do :-)

my only advice would be to see if you can verify that it's a good fit for you.  unfortunately I found out the hard way and bought a bike that's too big

but what a good price!
