Weight-Loss March Challenge!

Weight-Loss
I told you last week that I wouldn't lose any weight.. and I was wrong.
However, this week, I'm on springbreak and have had LOTS of junkfood and beer/wine/vodka :p so i'm pretty damn SURE this week
I feel way chunky and haven't stepped on the scale because I'm scared lol.

I mess up the whole month, but I guess.. THere's always next month! :)

Good luck to you all!

March 2 = 249.8
March 9 = 250 :biggrinjester: Pretty good. I didn't count calories at all this week :biggrinjester: .
March 15 = 248.
March 22 = 250 :sifone:
March 28th =245


I've been weighing in on Sundays, but I won't be on tomorrow so I updated my final weight today.

I only lost like 2% of my weight this month, but I'm satisfied that it's coming off.
 
Hey LFM, almost 5 lbs in a month is great! Good job! :)

Angelica, did you type that right? 8 lbs in less than 4 weeks? That is really good for being less than 200 lbs. That is more than 1% per week! Awesome!

We will see what tomorrow morning says for me. I think it will be 196 again but I'm not too upset. I am still slowly going down and I actually think that is good because I'm training pretty hard and I have read studies that say for athletes training hard, they will maintain more muscle if they lose slowly. I will need the muscle for my triathlon on May 3rd.
 
Start Weight: 226

March 8 = (1%=223.7) 224.4 -1.6 not bad but not 1%
March 15 = (1%=222.16) 222.2 -2.2
March 22 = (1%=219.98) 223.8 + 1.6 Sh*t!!
March 29 = (1%=217.79) 223.4 -.4
Total March Loss: __2.6_______
Total % lost:____1.15____

So didn't even come close but hey a loss is a loss right at least it wasn't an overall gain so I'm ok. I know next month will be better though cause I am really gonna buckle down and kick my ass into gear. Congrats to all those who lost and big congrats to those who met your goals this month.
 
Start Weight: 129

March 8 = (127.7) 128.0 (-1.0)
March 15 = (126.7) 128.0 (-0.0)
March 22 = (126.7) 127.0 (-1.0)
March 29 = (125.7) 125.0 (-2.0)


Total to lose 6.0lbs = 1% of each week starting weight.

Total March Loss: 4.0

Percentage lost: (I don't know how to calculate this)
 
Familyweese, good to see you going in the right direction again! :)

Parik, awesome finish!!! :party: You lost 1.5% in the last week and 3.1% for the month! Trust me, that is really good for a girl as light as you are. Good job! :hurray:

Here's my update:
March 1st starting weight = 199.0
March 08 = 197.0 (-2.0)
March 15 = 198.0 (+1.0)
March 22 = 196.0 (-2.0)
March 29 = 196.0 (-0.0)

Total March weight loss = 3.0 lbs or 1.5% in all.

So some of your weekly percentage losses were better than my entire month's percentage loss. I'm happy though and fully expected the last 10 lbs to be a PITA! I only have 7 more lbs to lose to reach my weight goal. This coming week is the last week of my Gold's Gym Challenge. We take final measurements and photos on Friday. I also only have two or three personal training sessions left. I will try to use them up this week. Also, as of today, my first triathlon is in exactly 5 weeks. In a way I have been training for it for nearly 10 months but over the past week I have slowly been focusing more on endurance swimming, biking and running and less emphasis on weight training. After this Friday, the last 4 weeks will be almost entirely devoted to swimming, biking and running with only light weight lifting 2 or 3 times per week. I really believe with the extra calories I will be burning that I just might lose those last 7 lbs these next 5 weeks. My dream triathlon would be to step on the scale the morning of my triathlon and have it read 189.0, then go out and win the swimming leg, do better than I expected in the biking leg and then jog the entire running leg without stopping to walk. I am pretty sure I will cry when I cross the finish line.

Start Weight: 198

March 9 = 198 (Goal: 196) Sad face, I'm not sure what happened - I had a large caloric deficit. I WILL make it up next week
March 16 = 198 (Goal: 194) Sad face again... but I promise you this will be the last one
March 23 = 193 (Goal: 192)
March 30 = 192 (Goal: 190)


Total March Loss: 6 Pounds

Percentage lost: 3.1%

Well, I came in 2 pounds shy of my goal, but I still feel wonderful about my progress! It seems everyone did well this month. I know I want this weight to be GONE before summer gets here. No more hiding indoors - this year I will be pool-side :) See you guys in the April challenge?

March 11 = 248.8
March 16 = 245.2
March 25 = 242.7
March 31 =241.0


Total March Loss: 9.1
Percentage lost: If my calculations are correct... 3.6%

To find your percentage
Take your starting weight - ending weight = Pounds lost
Then divide pounds lost/ starting weight and get the percentage lost
