Woohoo! It’s been a good week with good workouts and my new workout buddy, plus all the good food I’ve been cooking. So how did I do on the scale this week? Check it out…
WEEKLY VIDEO

Lauren @ Eater not a runner´s last blog ..long day and Q&A
WTG on the loss Mary!!!! I’m proud of you!!!
And I’m totally fucking wearing a sleevless top to the gym tomorrow. Thanks for the twitter encouragement. I’m still so damn hard on myself but you are RIGHT – no one cares. How many times do I have to tell myself this and on my blog to believe it!? ;)
Anonymous Fat Girl´s last blog ..I have a crush on Apolo Ohno (and my husband totally knows)
Good job!
As for me, we’ll find out tomorrow, hehe, but so far my week has been pretty good. I was very good so that I could afford to splurge at my cupcake party yesterday…scale this morning said 244.8 which would be a 1.8 loss from last week, so here’s hoping. :)

That’s awesome! Congrats!

Great job Mary! You are about to say good-bye to that 2 in front of your weight.
The lower body burns much more fat than the upper body, so keep doing those lower body workouts, especially the squats. Squats are hands down the best exercise for weight loss.

You’ve got it going, Mary. Nothing wrong with slow and steady, just as long as you can keep stringing together these good weeks. And don’t be surprised if you don’t see a new burst of energy as you close in on that “200″ mark…
Keep it up!
Jack Sh*t´s last blog ..How to Get Your Ass Out of a Hole in the Ground
That would be awesome to have some extra energy. I feel like I’m getting really close and I’m super excited!
Yay! Go you! You’re right, this journey has no time line.
Kat´s last blog ..02.28.2010 Weigh in
Yeah, no time line. Just continue to plug away. You can’t get all discouraged just because it is slow… it always will be if you are doing it right.
Enjoy the blog. As always, check mine.
Congrats on the loss – there’s nothing wrong with 1.6 pounds!

Nice job, Mary! Keep it up!!!!
Jenn @ Watch My Butt Shrink!´s last blog ..Rockin’ Recipe! Zamazing Zucchini Bread
Great job! So happy to see someone going slow and steady and getting results. It’s inspiring for someone like me who is so impatient. I have to keep reminding myself I didn’t put on the extra weight overnight so I can’t expect to be rid of it overnight either.

My week has been AMAZING! I got a promotion, which means I can now afford personal training. I found out today that I dropped a pant size and a cup size! I feel great.
Slow and steady is a healthy way to lose weight. Congrats on doing so well!
Amelia´s last blog ..Dropping Sizes
Congrats on your promotion! Personal training is worth it, I think… not that I’ve ever been able to afford it.
And woohoo for smaller sizes! You are rocking it!
Hi! Just found your blog through Bobbie’s site. You seem pretty rad, so I am going to be following along. I hope we can support one another on this crazy journey to lose some weight.
Cheers,
Missa

Thanks for coming over Missa…. and for the compliment! :) We can definitely support each other. Let me know if you ever need anything!
Awesome Mary! Keep it up!
AndrewENZ´s last blog ..Weigh-in post #9 2010: By the skin of my teeth
I was thinking last night about our dinner at Blogher and how amazingly and in a great way your life has changed since then.
Miz´s last blog ..MizFit AKA RunzInTutu (video post).
I’ve been thinking about that too. Someone who saw me at BlogHer asked if they would recognize me at Fitbloggin. My answer? Probably not. EVERYTHING is different in my life now. Partly all because of blogging.
GO MARY!!!!!!!!!! You are doing great! I love your wear that f’in sleeveless shirt to AFG!
Jody – Fit at 52´s last blog ..Exercise, Make It Your OWN!
I’m glad I got Bobbie to wear it! She rocks!
Congrats on the loss! 1.6 pounds FTW. Way to rock the workouts too! :)
I’ve actually had a pretty awesome week (especially the weekend!), but I don’t think the scale is going to agree with me, so I’m kinda in damage control mode right now :-P
Steve´s last blog ..Challenge Updates #8
Great Job! You’re doing a great job. Keep the motivation going and rock the gym this week! BTW – the food that you are cooking looks awesome.
Seth´s last blog ..February ReCap & an Idea
you’re damn right it has no time line, slow and steady is the way.i’m happy there are some bloggers who understand that, and some who are just…so obsessed with numbers and fast progress. 1.6lbs is a great loss :)
amanda´s last blog ..Video Update #2
Lookin’ good! We’re here to cheer you on. You can do this!
Sounds like a great weekly work-out schedule! My week was not as great as I hoped, cause I had family in town and they only ever want to take me out to eat, eat, eat. But this week, I am back on schedule! Have a great week. :)
