Ha, can report 129.41 lbs. Which means I lost 4.2 lbs since we started (start weight was 133.6 lbs). Guess I'm not doing to shabbily for someone who's just being mindful of what I put in my mouth so far.

Well OK. I'm finally headed in the proper direction. I'm at 133.4 which is down 2.6. I'm reading a new book called Nutrition Periodization for the Endurance Athlete. Just really started following the basics yesterday, but it did help me not overeat last night and we went out for pizza and beer! (light beer) Running 14 mi last Sat. probably helped too. Seems to me if I can consistently get more of those easy, long runs in, it would work to burn off more of my caboose. Remember it's not a one round fight! Hang tough everyone.

And so the yo yo continues....I'm actually down a couple of lbs from last week, but then that was my highest weight in a long time. So put me down at 136 - back to where I started Holly, I have the same problem. This week I've been sick and haven't run much and yet have lost. When I exercise and run more, I gain. Yes, we do eat more but geeze. I know someone who computes daily her food intake and calorie output...I'm not ready for that! BTW, what time should I be at your party? Yummm! Dutchie, WTG! Denise, hang in there. And good job on maintaining! Nono, I love your attitude! Evryday - you ARE as fit as me!

Down 1.2 from last week, but I've been yo-yoing a pound or two each week, so actually, I'm right back at where I started on 1/1/09. {sigh}

Works for me, JLynne. I did the swimsuit thing a couple months ago because the two I'd been using were old and getting dangerously threadbare. With all the pool running I was doing, I needed a new one. So I tried on a ton, starting at the size of the ones I was retiring. Hmmm, they must've stretched out over the years. There was just no way! So I got one, but I think it's too big. Oh well. I must've been "fluffy" when I tried them on. But it's still 4 sizes bigger than the old ones!! Holly, that's what happens to me, too. Whenever you say you run extra miles for extra calories, I usually say to myself "well, that doesn't always work so well!" because at least for me, I turn into an eating machine at much over 45 mpw! I was good last night and didn't nibble after dinner. No snacks, although I really really really wanted something. I was starving when I got up, and looking forward to being rewarded on the scale with a drop from the past week. No such luck. 143.5, still. I was down to almost 140, but it must have been a "blip" (or a "dip"?) cuz I've been holding pretty steady here. Which is about where I've been over the past few months... lose a couple, gain a couple, and I end up here. Must be my body's "happy zone" which pisses me off because it doesn't make ME happy at all!!!

I can't keep track of what I weighed on which day, since weigh-in day for the BL at school is Monday, but I'm in yo-yo land, too. As of Monday, I was down 2.5 from the start of BL on 1/12/09 - 2-1/2 pounds in 2 weeks was fine with me. BUT, as of today, I'm up 1 pound since Monday! Grrrr. Eliz

1/16 - 171.5 lbs. 1/23 - 171.5 lbs. 1/30 - 170.5 lbs. Down one pound. Better than gaining I guess. Still not dieting the way I want ... just running a little more.
