Nice job there Mark...keep at it. The scale was kind this morning....not ready to post another weight yet but I am motivated. I'm feeling good and the diet changes and gym time are paying off. It feels good to say no thanks to the brownies. My motivation is helping my wife as well. Keep it up everyone because it only gets harder to stick with it and keep doing all the right things.

Also...don't let your routine get stale. Those miles on the bike feeling easier...well, then go hit the stair climber first, then the bike. Weights felling lighter...work a different set or weight interval and mix it up. I'm looking forward to the next clear cold day...I've got a hill I plan to climb. Why? Why not.

Runamuk, I get that.  I don't plan on posting weight each week either.  I rarely get on the scale.  Your right being a girl sucks and being a girl our age sucks even worse!  I read in a book last year that most of our (girls) up and down weight is mostly water weight.  If you drink lemon water throughout the day it helps to keep from retaining water.  I'm trying to get in the habit of drinking the lemon water.  Sometimes I love it and sometimes, I just want plain water.  I keep a 64oz jug by my sink and try and drink two of them per day.  I use an old gatorade bottle.  For me it works because my teeth are sensitive to cold and so having room temperature water is ok with me and it makes it easy to monitor my water intake.

I love lemon water and went and bought some raw apple cider vinegar to love it and it helps kill sweets cravings for me for some reason...I only drink room temperature or warm water and I drink 1-2 liters ..... I dont eat much salt .....but all my life my weight has a pretty normal fluctuation of about 10 lbs  ..... for years I rounded to 130 because any given day I could be as low as 122 or as high as 136 ...so for me losing 10 lbs is kinda meaningless because I never know if its real weight loss or just another low day.......oh well gonna keep walking and trying to not eat sugar/bread/carbs you know stuff that tastes good...lol

No more loss last couple days but no gains!

Good luck to all!  Remember what Machias said, this is a marathon.  Pounds drop for a little bit, then you'll plateau.  Keep the faith!  Watch your portions and get your exercise.  Try and do an activity every day.  Don't overdo it and injure yourself.

Even if you don't win the contest, the best thing you can win out of this is healthier habits so that you aren't in this contest in the future!  Make lifestyle changes, not extreme changes you can't sustain over time.

AMEN!!!
