And how can you be plateauing when you lost -3 and -4 in consecutive weeks? Plateauing is staying the same and not losing or losing minimal.
that's off the starting weight, so basically 1 lb lost in the week, and even then, still above where I was a few weeks ago. Maybe I'm doing the graph wrong...
Week 2, 2/14/12: 259 lb. (-2 lb, -0.8%)
Week 3, 2/21/12: 259 lb. (-2 lb, -0.8%)
Week 4, 2/28/12: 254 lb. (-7 lb, -2.7%)
Week 5, 3/06/12: 258 lb. (-3 lb, -1.1%)
Week 6, 3/13/12:
Week 7, 3/20/12:
Week 8, 3/27/12:
Week 9: 4/05/12 (AT PAX!!!):
Back up four pounds this week, but I've also added protein to my diet and been having the best run sessions of my life. Clothes still fit the same, so I'm happy.
Hmmm. Turns out scheduling more things to do at PAX is a little tough.
Week 5, 3/06/12: 167lb (-3lb)

I'd like to think a large part of that motivation came from this group, and Fitocracy... so thank you (and my family thanks you for a healthier hubby/daddy
Still hoping I can hit 260-265 by PAX, which would mean losing another 10-15 pounds in the next four weeks. I think it's probably doable.
I need to go back and log my workouts for the week in Fitocracy. It's like homework.
WOOT! Congrats! That is an amazing loss.

hoping to be down to just under 140ish by PAX ... and also to order my wedding dress @_@
I think it is time to break out DDR to go along with the hockey I play. This is unacceptable.
hate when that happens, but just ride it out. Might be a fluke, but DDR will surely help kick it.

My word of advice is to cut from your mind that you're going to lose weight every single week. It's just not going to work that way. Your body can just stop losing or gain a bit for a week or two because it's in panic mode due to losing a lot of weight so fast.
Yes, gain weeks suck, but you'll go down again eventually. Just wait until you hit your first 3, 4, 5, or more week plateau, that's when it gets hard.

this, this, 1000 times this. I have had plateaus as long as 10 weeks before, and yes it sucks, but if you stick with it and make incremental changes you will eventually find something that bumps you back into the fast lane. it's giving up because of your plateau that is the killer. it's frustrating to think "i'm doing everything perfectly and not losing" but you have to remember that you would be doing a LOT worse if you weren't working as hard as you are.
I didn't get to weigh in this week, had some friends in from out of town, but will check in over the weekend.
also, vttym - congratulations on your success! this group has definitely kept me motivated too!

Oh God. Multiple week plateaus?! :-\
I went 2 months with straight out losing weight every week (between 1-3.6lbs each time). I feel like the gain was my fault really. While I do eat Weight Watchers food, we have friggin WW chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, carrot cake pieces, ice cream bars, ice cream sandwiches, fudge pops.....Oiy. Just listing those out makes my head hurt now. I am giving all of that to my sister/brother-in-law. I think eating too much of that (even though they are like 1-4 points) killed me.
I am working on staying BELOW my daily point total for WW. I was starting to use my weekly allowance and earned points from exercise TOO much. If I don't go back to losing anything at all this week, I will start DDR/P90X. In the mean time, I will be lazy and hope things change with the food changes I make (plus hockey 3 times a week).
@ishtra Depends how far you want to go. I'd say head south into Southie and go along the beach (or to Castle Island and around the causway, which is one giant circle) or north into downtown and along the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. I'm not a runner so I can't really suggest which is better, but I'd guess the Greenway. You might find the Harborwalk site to be useful.
You really should eat your daily points, but not using weeklies and exercise points is a good idea!

This will be my super wake up week. Wake the fuck up, me!
Week 2, 2/14/12: Weight 230 (-4 lbs, -1.7%)
Week 3, 2/21/12: Weight 227 (-7 lbs, -3%)
Week 4, 2/28/12: Weight 224 (-10 lbs, -4.3%)
Week 5, 3/06/12: Weight 222 (-12 lbs, -5.1%)
Week 6, 3/13/12: Weight 221 (-13 lbs, -5.6%)
Week 7, 3/20/12:
Week 8, 3/27/12:
Week 9: 4/05/12 (AT PAX!!!):
A few days after hitting 220, I bubbled up to 222. Not a big deal, as I fully expect to be back on track by the end of this week, and still have an overall loss week over week. Sporadic gym visits the last 2 weeks didn't help the cause.
I crushed the 5k this weekend, finishing in 27:54, which was over 2 minutes better than what I was doing in the gym (and included a ridiculous .5 mile hill in the middle). So regardless of the weight, I'm a happy camper.

I also decided this week to sign up for Jane McGonigal's "super better" as another tool in my weight loss arsenal. If anyone else is doing the game and wants to be allies, I could really use some, so LMK!

Holy crap, only 3 weeks till PAX! My slightly unrealistic goal is to break 300 that week. But even if I don't, I'm already 40 lbs down from where I was 9 months ago.
@vttym That's awesome!
@browncoatbeth Somehow I'd completely forgotten Super Better. Will definitely look into it.

Week 9: 4/05/12 (AT PAX!!!):
how disapointing, and in all honesty don't know why I gained the pound back, but you know what, as long as I don't gain more, I'm ok, it's only 1 pound... lose 5 pounds in 3 weeks... can do it... hopefully
Cosplay Check List: WOOPER [X]
WOOP WOOP!
And totally celebrate the loss though - 5 lbs is great, and definitely - you have time to break into those 100's
So don't get discouraged if you didn't drop as much as you wanted to so far. Haven't been as committed as you wanted? There's still time to change that, and feel good about yourself, even if you miss the goal you set for PAX. If getting fit was easy, we'd all look like Adonis.
Let's keep the positive energy going - get out there and make yourself awesomer.
Week 2, 2/14/12: Weight 254.0. - 4.6 lbs.
Week 3, 2/21/12: Weight 249.6 - 9 lbs.
Week 4, 2/28/12: 251.4 -7.2
Week 5, 3/06/12: 254.6 -4 lb
Week 6, 3/13/12: 248.6 -10lb
Week 7, 3/20/12:
Week 8, 3/27/12:
Week 9: 4/05/12 (AT PAX!!!):
Well, that was a pleasant surprise..
Nicely done
I don't think I went over my WW daily point total much when I did go over. My friends are saying I could be more dehydrated than usual. If this is a legit 5lbs lost, it is my highest weight loss in one week this year.
edit: Weighed in again. Says 234.6. Maybe I am just fluctuating? I will keep 233.2 for this week and see what happens next weigh in.
this is often my problem. when I don't lose as much as I want to I start punishing myself, and all that really does is make it worse. but I'm trying to stay positive and hope the next few weeks I'll catch up on pounds. if not, at least I am continuing to work at it.
