Body Composition Challenge (Page 15)

Congrats on the losses! Ate breakfast early before weigh in so I'll post tomorrow!

I keep hoping that the Monday weigh-in will force me to be better behaved on the weekends (my own preference is a Friday morning weigh-in, after I've had the work week to be good), but it hasn't really panned out that way.

I'm marathon training and my long runs on Saturday make me EAT the rest of the weekend.  And not train much afterwards, either.

Food is set for the week again -- all sorts of fresh vegetables and fruits to snack on.  It really is the weekend when I do all my damage.

And congrats to everyone who lost!  I think I might be down a touch since last week, but that's about it...

Congrats on the losses everyone and happy belated birthday Bill!

I had Korean food last night = soy sauce = water retention.  Plus feel swollen from the weekend's training so I'll measure and post tomorrow morning.  Thinking it's a maintenance week for me...

Okey Doke.

It's Monday and time for me to make up for my week long hiatus last week (it was a conference for school, so I should get some credit there).

weight - 197.5 (started at 203.2)

Abdomen Fat -21 (started at 24)

Chest Fat - 20 (started at 22)

Thigh Fat - 20 (started at 24)

Estimated % Body Fat - 18.11 (started at 20.58)

Pounds o' fat - 35.76 (started at 41.82)

Numbers are going in the right direction!

Me too! 

At least things are going in the right direction!

Hi all -

Is it too late to join this group? It's now off season and I would love to focus on whittling off some of this flub. I don't have calipers but do have one of those body fat % scale things, bought it after reading Matt Fitzgerald's book.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the shape changers.

Thanks Bill, good to see you!

Thanks Robin, Shape Changers sounds very dynamic and cool.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I am down .6 from last week but still up .2 from where I started. I was sooo thirsty last night I drank a ton in the couple hours before bed, it is my monthly "not nice week" for being a lady so I will take it. While I might be up yet because of those things I think it will keep me in check for hopefully my first lost next week.

BEST NEWS - Hubby has been a typically not long term diet person - HCG, atkins, etc (they might be long term for some but not for him).

He asked me to sign us up for Weight Watchers on Saturday so I did. For the price - that is one big, not healthy meal out for us and in return we get 3 months on WW. We are still new to it, today is the first day of "counting points" but he is already changing behaviors. Mr. I have to drag my butt to exercise stated he wanted to at least walk 2 miles tonight so that is good. He cut down his "bad things" that he fit in his points today so he could have 1 beer tonight - instead of going over and just moving forward. His comment - I don't need to slather on the butter and sour cream on a baked potato. 1T of each will be fine for now. I just need a little bit.

So I am hoping this is a start of being healthier - him and I in our household. If I expect him to stick to the eating healthy wagon so can I. I did the grocery shopping this morning and no chocolate and no ice cream came home with me - which is good since I usually bring them home and 2 days later (max) they are gone.

Ok - enough rambling. Just hopeful this will make hubby and I in return more healthy.

Grats to everyone on your losses, happy belated birthday, and welcome to our newest member!  Ok, I think I covered all of the bases.  The results for next Monday are being made today.  Best of luck to all.

Great job peeps! Weighed in today at 155.6 which was the same as last week. I'm happy that it wasnt above. I ate pretty well but had alcohol at least once wed-sat. So this week my goal is no alcohol besides work party fri night.  And also to figure out a better sleeping pattern. 4-5 hours a night sucks!

Also got in touch w/ a nutritionist yesterday. Made a basic plan to follow when i'm not training hard so we'll see how it goes....
