As of today I am 191. I am slowly but surely gonna get myself back into the 180's. Today I found out my husband weighs 188. That is depressing. So very depressing. Why did I even look at his MyFitnessPal update? I knew it would be bad. And this was right after I burnt 400+ calories during my workout. We are different people. I just have to keep telling myself this. I hope to be 188 soon. :o(

I have been using MyFitnessPal since the beginning of the month and I have only lost one freaking pound. In MFP's defense, it is totally MY fault. I have been slacking on the eating, especially this week. It's been non-stop junk food! Oreos, ice cream, Sour Patch Kids. You name it, I've consumed it. I'm happy to say that I have not gained any weight, but I also have not lost any. So today I am getting back on track. I am logging my calories & my fitness. I took the dog on a walk. We did 1.54 miles in 25 minutes. That's not too bad! It's roughly a 16 minute mile. I sure feel like I'm going pretty fast. Of course this also takes into account the many stops we have to make for the dog to use the bathroom or just sniff around. My goal this week is to get back on track with eating & my water drinking and maybe lose a pound. If not, no biggie. I also need to get back into FitClub. I've missed a few days with other things that we had going on (son had strep, PTO meeting, etc), so I am really itching to get back into it. Wish me luck!

Well, this was my first week using MyFitnessPal to count calories and I am happy to say that I have lost 1 pound. I did my official weigh in Saturday morning and I was down to 190. Woohoo!! It's hard to stay under my calories if I don't exercise every single day. That's hard because I don't have extra time every single day to do so. I am soooo busy!! Time just gets away from me. I guess the thing to do is look at my overall weekly calories in vs. calories out and not my daily report. As long as I have a deficit of calories at the end of each WEEK, then I will lose weight, right? That's the idea anyway. We shall see! So far, I like the site and it's very user friendly. It also helps that I have friends who have joined and we can keep up with each other that way. Makes it nice to have someone who is holding you accountable. I went to FitClub this morning and worked my butt off. I love it! Wish I could do it every day!! Just need an extra hour or three in the day. ;o)

Wow I have been busy!  Time just gets away from me before I know it.  Today I cancelled my membership to Weight Watchers.  I just didn't want to pay an extra $17/month for something I am not even using any longer.  It has stopped working for me.  Now don't get me wrong.  I give all the credit to WW for helping me lose 25 lbs!  However, I'm just stuck at 191 lbs.  The scale is the same every time I step on it.  I am working out 3 times a week doing a very intense workout and I am not losing a single pound.  I have started using the site called MyFitnessPal.  It's very simple to use and I enjoy seeing what all I am putting into my body as far as fat, fiber, protein, etc.  It's not just about "points".  I also like that it gives me daily/weekly goals for water & exercise.  I'm going to give this a try and see if it helps me get past this plateau!  I'm doing everything right, I feel, but nothing is working.  Wish me luck!
