Can someone give me some advice? If I, for example, don't work out today for whatever reason, but make up for that the next day, is it still effective? It's probably a stupid question, but I just need verification...

Help please? :)

I think it still depends on the calories you take in minus the ones you burn. Working out more than you normally do but eating the same or more won't help.

I didn't weigh in last week. I have done walk at home 5 day slim done the last 2 days (one mile a day). I try to drink water first when I think I'm hungry before I eat. I added a protein shake somethimes before I eat so I get fuller. I will start back walking the steps at work tomorrow. I had to stop eating after 7:30 because I was waking up at night with acid reflux. I hope this helps. I went to the Dr. and I have to loose 50 lbs. I'm really not happy about this. I hope this helps me see some results. I really need to see them right about now.

Today's Weigh-In results were not that great for me, BUT in my defense I must say that I have not been to the "bathroom" in over 1 1/2 days! I read that that influences by maybe 1 lbs or so.. What do you guys think?

I don't have a digital scale, but it looks like I lost a little under 1 lbs.. but hey, losings losing right? :)

maintained this week i'm afaraid thanks Debs

I think you are right on Keliya. Get some bran cereal and see if it makes a difference.

I only lost .5 pounds this week but the tape measure numbers are smaller so hopefully the scale numbers follow for next week.

So I will keep trudging along, step by step, plod - plod.

Eyes closed and through with it! What needs to be done, needs to be done. Today I am so tired, yet I still need to work out.. It's really not that easy sometimes :)

Let's destroy next week's Weigh-In!!! :) :) :)

Excited for my 1 lb loss. Hopeully some more changes in my diet will help.

Let's share our diet/fitness routine with everyone!

I count my calories and make sure not to eat more than 900 calories. Usually it's 800. That means, I have a good breakfast and 1 or 2 snacks before dinner. I work out 500 calories on the elliptical trainer 6 times per week. But I leave 1 day free where I can do whatever I want to..maybe that's having some alcohol, or eating a bit more than usual, or not working out. It helps me not to fall into temptation the other 6 days.

What about you guys? What do you do to lose weight??

I have started writing down what I eat. It helps me be more accountable to myself. I like to eat with my family in the evening so I have a protein shake before I start cooking. This helps me not to over eat in the evenings. I walked the stairs in my office building yesterday. My muscles were crying! I also try to do at least 30 minutes a day. I haven't made it yet. I have also been trying to eat smaller portions and tons of healthy snacks. I like to pop food in my mouth while I work.

Joining late, but I'm up for losing some weight!

Hey....can you guys do this again for June?? I would really like to get in on it, but its a bit late for May.

There definitely is a June Challenge.. Starting the last day of the May Challenge :)

Alrighty Guys!
The time has come again where we are just 1 day before another weigh-in! This time it's Weigh-In #3!! Are you all ready? Excited? Nervous? Today is the last time where you can really workout a sweat before getting the 3rd results.

I hope everyone's doing well! Good Luck to you all and let's lose a little or a lot by tomorrow! :) :) :)

Boo! No loss for me this week!

The scale is stuck on 165.5#!
