I think 5 lbs is the day's magic number lol.

Woo hoo!

[PWCorgi]

Looks like it!

I was worried, especially since I only worked out 1 day and last night I had wings for dinner

I'm weighing in again on Monday morning so crossing my fingers I've lost some more.

Great job everyone!!!! Keep it up!!!

I joined WW yesterday, I am on MFP as well but will likely use it just to track weight as I have a free membership to weight watchers Etools and find that tracking App great!

I am tired, bone tired of struggling with my weight & smoking, time to quit the excuses!!

Currently;

I weigh 212.6 (WW now uses 1/10th measurements!)

I smoke up to, sometimes over a PACK a day!!!

I'm 5'2" tall....

I'm back to drinking way to much Pop!!

I have a lot to tackle, but feel insanely determined to do this!!!!

Oh, I'm Leigh98 on MFP! Added all the names I noticed, feel free to add me!

Made a deal with myself, if I stick to my yoga/cardio programs for the next 8 weeks (the length of the program) then I will get a gym membership at a gym with a POOL! All I have to do is work out at least 4 times a week for the next 8 weeks!

I love swimming laps and would love to start again. Excited

[skittledoo]

That sounds like an awesome idea!!!!!

I'm weighing in tomorrow... Nervous... It's TOM right now (sorry for TMI) so wondering if that will affect what the scale says.

Losing very little weight by what I see on the scale but I can tell a difference in my toning up and building up muscle. I am getting more muscle on my thighs and my upper back looks AMAZING. Also, my face is losing weight and my jaw & cheek bone area is looking awesome!

[PWCorgi]

I agree Skittle! lol

Also, I would just be ready to not be bummed if the scale doesn't look awesome this week. Just imagine how awesome it will be NEXT week if it's crappy cause of your TOM this week. All things with time.

Also, have you checked out this site? http://punchfork.com/paleo
So many yummy recipes! I am working on a grocery list for next week!

Don't worry too much about the scale. The numbers can be deceiving. First of all, a person can vary up to five pounds just based on how much water you do or don't drink... or taking a big poo. And remember that a pound of muscle and a pound of fat are vastly different.
Focus on how your clothes fit, how you look, and how you FEEL. I permanently broke up with my scale about mid-2012. It just wasn't doing me any good because the number on the scale no longer meant anything unless I combined it with a handful of other measurements, did math, and calculated out my body fat percentage - and I hate math so that ain't happening.

I'm not saying you should all break up with your scales immediately, but don't let it rule your life... and definitely don't let a number you don't like to see on the scale allow you to make poor decisions. Don't let it make you frustrated and throw in the towel. Remember there's a lot more to you than what the scale says.
