LoseAMarathon Weigh-In #3

I worked my butt off this week and thought I did pretty decent on my food choices (especially considering the holiday).  I felt like I was in the zone; however, the scale had another story on Monday morning.  I was only down -0.4 lbs. Seriously, darn it. I'm not too terribly upset though.  I had a big loss (-6.6) the previous week and my body never puts up back-to-back big weeks.  I've been doing this weight loss thing for a while, so I've come to learn my body reactions pretty well. I continue to fight in my quest to Lose A Marathon.  Not satisfied with yesterday's scale reading, I'm determined to make week four count.  Yesterday, I ran 3 miles cross country, did the Day 9 Ab Challenge, rocked a 45 minute Spinning class and ended the night with 30 minutes swimming laps in the pool. Take that!

Each week, I recognize the top performers on the scale.  Losing weight is a tough task, so I am in awe at how these participants have attacked the challenge and LOST BIG in week three.  Congratulations!!

    Yeah! Winner, winner!
    Thanks for all your hard work on this challenge. BTW--if I lose 6.6 pounds by the end I'll be surprised. Maybe I should modify my goal to lose a 10k, haha.

    Gosh Jess, I wish I had the time you do for all this exercising! How do you do it and get everything done? My older two are a little older than your girls so they are way more involved in activities but I feel lucky if I can eake out 30-45 minutes a day. I see the results you and others put up and get discouraged. :/ I need a way to "do more with less" as they say at work.

    how fun, and congrats to winners! I am struggling with the exercise time...with both of my boys at home this summer, my husbands not-so-normal schedule, I am finding my workouts to be less than an hour, most days! Ugh, so frustrating coming from the girl that USED to workout 3-4 hours a day in college :-( help??

    Anyway, I'm going strong but only .2 weight loss this week...ughhh!

    I seem to be on the 1 lbs/week loss. So frustrating I can't get past that; I'm blaming it on old age!!

    People have lost 13 lbs already? Jealous!!

    Keep being strong, girl!
