I'm back to square one. I'm just going to zero myself out today since I'm planning on seeing a big loss on the scale next week after 7 days of the 30 day shred...
3/16 0.00% total 0.00%

I had a bad weekend. There were too many parties and dinners to resist. I did really well throughout the week, so I let myself indulge a little... but a little turned into a lot. I still lost some weight though.
My design class is over this week. That will give me more time to get to the gym more regularly. Also, I ordered the 30 Day Shred DVD from Amazon last night. It's not supposed to arrive until later in the week, so I'm going to be a week behind you girls and start next Monday. I'm really looking forward to supplementing this with my gym workout and for it to kick my butt.
I had a so-so week. We had a lot of team lunches last week for various reasons that I couldn't back out of and the healthy choices I thought I was making were not so great since I didn't fully read the menu (Who covers the bottom of a taco salad with guacamole??). But I did try my best and I worked out when I could.
Week loss: .007180 Total loss: .007180
Am I caculating this right - (Last week - This week)/Last week ?
Not terrible but I'd like to see my losses climb to a higher number. I'm going to try and make it to Target to pick up the 30 day shred workout as well as hit the gym or Wii Fit tonight depending on how work goes.

I'm focusing more on body fat reduction than weight right now though, so I'm going to use that as a gauge. I don't know exactly where I'm at presently because there's a huge disparity between the percentage my scale gives me and the percentage I get when placing measurements into a calculator (a 15% difference, with the scale being highest. I hope it's wrong!). I ordered a body fat caliper and it should be here today so I'll get a measurement tonight and then take it each Monday.
I was good this week with both exercise and food, but the scale is not cooperating with me! I feel good and think I can already see a bit of a difference though, so for now that's good enough for me .

Week loss: 0 (gained 2.9 lbs) Total loss: er...gained 1.1 lbs overall from week 1
ETA: weighed again this morning and am down 1.3 lbs from yesterday, which I assume was the plane bloat. I ate regularly (and was still over my 1100 daily calorie goal). So I'm still up from last week, but now only .2 from week 1.
I knew last week would be rough with travel and parties. I'm going to weigh again tomorrow morning because I always seem to weigh more after flying (we flew home late last night, and I swell like crazy during / after flying).
Being out of town, I didn't really do any exercise, except for a LOT of walking. But I'm back at Pilates tomorrow and am eating well today. Hopefully this will be just a small glitch in my overall plan. And I don't have plans to travel anywhere else for quite some time (thank goodness).

I forgot to weigh in this morning but I'll go with this weekend's weight. I also didn't post last week (too busy with work to even think about being online), so I'll post that too.
Can some please clarify how to calculate the percentages? Based on beginning week or last week or what's lost in between?? So confused.
This is how I get my numbers: Week loss: (previous week's weight - current weight) / previous week's weight Total loss: (starting weight - current weight) / starting weight
This is what I remember from high school math, so it could be wrong. Please feel free to correct me if I've made a mistake... I'd be happy to go back and edit my numbers.
