The tough part about losing small amounts of weight is that your body fluctuates so much day to day that it really depends when you weigh yourself and what you consumed the day before!<br />Keep up the awesome job!Kimberly Michellehttp://www.kimberlymichelle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865905393339379796.post-66228886286850481362010-06-09T13:49:03.788-04:002010-06-09T13:49:03.788-04:00Thanks for the update and thanks for introducing m...Thanks for the update and thanks for introducing me to LoseIt. I'm trying to approach the whole thing as a lifestyle change. I want to eat differently, make better choices, have overall better nutrition, and be a lifelong regular exerciser. Focusing on those other goals helps a lot. Dropping the pounds is just icing on the cake (it was quick at first, but now it's pretty slow going). If you want a LoseIt buddy, add me as a friend. I could use the extra accountability :)Two Chicks Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927933503537714693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865905393339379796.post-82091336081854304202010-06-09T12:40:35.573-04:002010-06-09T12:40:35.573-04:00I really wouldn't sweat those pounds--I know I...I really wouldn't sweat those pounds--I know I fluctuate all the time thanks to how much water/tea I drink, or hormones, or salt intake, or wine intake for that matter. One of my good friends has taken up running in the last few months and she's running for an hour nearly every day and hasn't lost that much weight, but she looks awesome because things are tightening up.<br /><br />As for the heat thing--it's probably better to take it easy on really humid/hot days and instead of running, maybe think of something low-key that you could do for a while like take a looong walk. Over Memorial Day weekend we ended up walking for over three hours and when I went to see what the calorie expenditure of such an endeavor would be, imagine my surprise when I saw it was nearly 1500 calories(!). Yes, it takes time, but it's a great alternative and an excellent excuse to wander around Fairmount Park or Center City. It may not be in line with the rest of your regimen, but something is better than nothing!<br /><br />I've folded some of the Tracy Anderson method into my Pilates practice, and I know it's working because the husband is actually noticing. :-)elizabethhttp://themanhattanfoodproject.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865905393339379796.post-56185711886336977852010-06-09T11:50:48.744-04:002010-06-09T11:50:48.744-04:00Bright side: The 3 pounds you gained from the week...Bright side: The 3 pounds you gained from the weekend with your family may not be "real" poundage, know what I mean? I came back from celebrating Memorial Day weekend (drinks and more drinks with friends plus super indulgent dinner to celebrate my wedding anniversary) and I was up 4 pounds. No joke. But by Wednesday, I was only up 2 and then by Friday, I was actually down a little bit. Sodium + booze = evil scale combination. You just have to detox and get back on the wagon and it sounds like you're doing just that. Couch to 5k is such a great program! You can do it!Notes from the Fatty Filehttp://fattyfile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865905393339379796.post-24975005781319220092010-06-09T10:43:20.039-04:002010-06-09T10:43:20.039-04:00Hang in there (I'm totally off the wagon) but ...Hang in there (I'm totally off the wagon) but if it helps your face totally looked thinner last Tuesday :)Chelsey @ 4th and Foldedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237028435563557423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865905393339379796.post-74474229418609379372010-06-09T10:36:02.639-04:002010-06-09T10:36:02.639-04:00I just started C25K yesterday!

I hate the gym so I canceled my membership and started the C25K program. So far so good, but I hope I can stay motivated...GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416137629786778346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865905393339379796.post-72434811574454518322010-06-09T10:08:24.103-04:002010-06-09T10:08:24.103-04:00I've been slipping a little on my C25K runs la...I've been slipping a little on my C25K runs lately, too. I am on week 4, should be finishing week 5 today. Rainy evenings combined with some minor knee and back pain have made it a little hard to finish a full run. It's hard, but I'm determined to stick with it and run a 5K race sometime this summer. That's my motivation. I think I need to register for one in July or August to help keep me going.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07045063394951534653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865905393339379796.post-11545844156780771172010-06-09T09:54:00.146-04:002010-06-09T09:54:00.146-04:00I'm stuck on week four, too.

I came home to my parents' house during my husband's deployment and I ended up hurting my back really, really bad, so I had to put working out on hold. And then I started eating all the delicious food from my hometown. I hate getting in non-workout funks, but I'm hoping to get back into my habit starting next week when I go back home.Jessica Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283561653744769352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865905393339379796.post-86301222750555769162010-06-09T09:52:47.653-04:002010-06-09T09:52:47.653-04:00Press on!
