Its been the third week weigh in , in a row. And no weight change. Ive noticed though on Fridays I am up a couple pounds more than on Mondays or Tuesdays when I record my weigh in. Its weird. Maybe it is water weight...I drink a lot more water at work than when studying or weekends.
However. I am trying to not be discouraged. I have been uping the healthy food intake. And pretty much everything I eat is made from scratch.
My muscles are way stronger and evident then they were before. I notice a difference every week. Should I be measuring inches rather than pounds? Should I purchase a scale that does the body fat percentage and go by that instead?
I bought a Jillian DVD!! I went to the yoga conference trade show on Sunday with Lucy, and bought a yoga for beginners for her and my roommate to use and a Jillian 30 day Shred. Kinda nervous to try!
My roommate and I tried the Yoga dvd yesterday ( I usually go to a class so it was weird) and it was nice to see her loving it...but finding it extremely hard like I did in the beginning. It really shows how I have come a long way since I started in July. I did not even break a sweat...and usually a class of regular yoga makes me sweat as if I was in hot yoga.
Maybe I will up my exercise to 5x1 hour per week and do different things like jogging in intervals?
What do you think?

Weigh in.
The same as last week and the week before. I am not sure how to step it up a notch. I don't think I can go down any further than 1500 calories a day right ? Maybe I need to find an additional exercise from yoga, walking and aquafit. They are the best for my body because they are a little easier on my joints and muscles. All this weight takes a huge toll on my body when exercising. Any suggestions ?

Weigh in
12.5 /16 pounds lost. No change this last week. It kind of upsets me. I have been consistent the last few weeks with approx two pounds a week. Now nothing. Is it just an off week or do I need to step up my exercise?
this last week :
2 x1 hour of yoga
2x 40 minutes of walking briskly with all my work items with me
1x 1 hour of aqua fit

Weigh In - 6 pounds down since we started!
10/16 pounds left to go!
I have lost 4 percent of my body weight since January 16th! I noticed this on my work weight loss spreadsheet. Theres approx 18 of us doing it. Unfortunately..becauseI am the heaviest in the weight loss challenge I have not managed yet to win any of the weeks yet...but I am the only consistant one losing weight...so hopefully for the final results I win overall!! (heheheheheheh)...but we will see. Not sure what the prize HR will give me is.
But anyways. I will keep up the calorie counting (most days) !

Weigh In and Exercise
My weigh in is 4/16!
My exercise..excessive walking for to get to my destinations, its been a crazy week of running around without a car.
And Yoga once a week on my lunch hour at work...its a pretty sweet deal..I only pay 4 dollars per session, the rest is subsidized by the company and my Yoga instructor is great! She remembers everything about everyone and their body capabillities. Somedays she will be like ' Emily whats going on with your hips today, you usually have very open hips! '. haha

CALORIE COUNTER APP
The youngest sibling and I use.... My Fitness Pal application. It has determined how many calories we need to eat daily to lose a certain weight amount per week. My calories are 1550/day. It also has a bar code scanner so you can scan food boxes. With this tracker you log your food and submit it at the end of the day and it shows up in the 'newsfeed'. The little one even commented on my weight loss I updated today! <3 ( shes so sweet). You can also put in your exercise too for to get a surplus of calories. Highly recommended.
