    I didn't do great when I was with my family: not working out, eating wedding cake…It's not pretty, not awful, but definitely not pretty.

    Gain .6 lbs
    Current weight 162.0

    Stinkers. Here's to next week and kicking some butt with Team Navy.

  • Christine R

    Finally out of the 170's!! Down 3lbs this week to 168!!!

  • http://shepdogg.blogspot.com/ Tirah

    I lost the pound that I gained last week, so I am now back to my starting weight. I have a feeling I am still shrinking even though the number isn’t going down on the scale. I had to tighten my belt another notch, that is a good sign right? Go TEAM GOLD!!!

  • http://www.mommysgreatdeals.blogspot.com/ Proud Mommy

    Down 1 lb for Team Pink!!!! Woot Woot!!!!

  • http://lifeofmine.net/ Priscilla

    Well, I have remained at my current weight 129lbs. this week! I was hoping to report a loss but as I always say maintaining is better than gaining I guess!

  • http://bacardimama.blogspot.com/ Nancy

    Nothing major. Down 0.6, but I guess that is better than a gain. Go Team Red!!!

    I made a little progress – I'm down 1.6 pounds! After a low loss last week, this loss was very encouraging and I'm actually getting excited about working harder and losing more!

  • http://kcrules.wordpress.com/ Jennie

    No change this week, still at 150. No biggie though. I'm having one of those super busy/super lazy all at the same time weeks! Will get my butt in gear asap for next time. Also didn't have an opportunity to post today so no blog link :(

  • http://washingawaythegain.blogspot.com/ Sarah My Regular Voice

  • http://tammyisblessed-30dayshredchallenge.blogspot.com/2009/06/weight-in-wednesday.html Tammy

    After week one of my own personal shredding challenge, I'm down 1.1 pounds, so 5.9 left to go.

  • gabriellekrake

    Okay, this is our teams first week at the weigh in. As a team some of us are down and some just weighed and measured for the first time. Those of us down are:

    pounds lost: 4
    inches lost: 3

    This only accounts for 2 of the 5 that had weighed and measured last week.

    Yea!!

  • http://andiesramblings.wordpress.com/ Andie

    Down two. I'm not thrilled with that, it should be higher. But I'm hoping that it means I'll have a HUGE weight loss next week…

  • http://sjtksbgibbons.blogspot.com *Sandi*

    I have had no change, but I am going to count it as a success considering we were on vacation last week and I ate everything in sight.
    Last week: 170
    This week: 170
    Next week: less than 170 ;o)
    GO TEAM GOLD!

  • JenniferM

    Down 3.0 this week

    Lost 1.8 lbs
    This week I met with a personal trainer. He recommended a eating plan. With a cycling training routine. Much like the 30 Day shred video. I think I can do this one!

    No time to blog this week's weigh-in — I'm across the country for a job interview!

    From Monday's weigh-in:
    This week: -1
    Shrinking Summer Challenge: -2
    Total: -19

    This week working out and eating right are going to be hard…but hopefully the interview will go well and I'll get back in shape next week.

  • http://moreontheotherside.blogspot.com/ punkinmama

    Unfortunately, I didn't lose anything this week. But I didn't gain either. I had a few days where I couldn't exercise like I planned, so that through me off. I'm already back on the wagon so hopefully this week will be better!

  • http://scheherazade315.wordpress.com/ scheherazade315

    Up 2 pounds. That's ok though. My clothes is fitting looser every day!

  • http://twolittlevikings.blogspot.com/ Beth/Mom2TwoVikings

    Didn't gain; didn't lose. Kids' schedule alone with a continuing case of separation anxiety with my boy threw off my workout plans. Didn't bother with a post – just reporting in.

  • http://cristinasfitnessblog.blogspot.com/ Cristina

    I'm down 3.6 but that's after a 3.4 gain last week.

  • TChapm99

    I am still benefiting from my recent gallbladder surgery and not being able to eat much especially foods containing fat. I am down another 6.5 pounds this week (from 164 to 157.5). I am very happy I am losing weight but I MISS FOOD and this is not the way to do it. Don't expect these numbers to keep up…as soon as I can get off this miserable “diet” I plan on eating again and losing weight the normal way through a proper diet and exercise.

  • Michelle

    I am down another pound this week. Slowly but surely! :)
