The past week has been our city's largest annual celebration, The Calgary Stampede and Exhibition. It means a week of free pancake and sausage breakfasts all over the city. And a week of deep fried treats at the fair grounds (hello corn dogs and minidonuts!). I watched the bull riding and chuck wagon races while chowing down on calorie laden goodies. So it is with no surprise that I have a gain to report this week. It was a large gain but the last couple days I've managed to reduce it back down a bit. 176.8.

Well, I was 54kg on one of the last 7 days, but to give a more realistic picture of the overall trend I'm going to weigh myself in at 53.5kg = 117.8lb to indicate my belief that I am trending downwards. Since I last posted I came to the realisation that when I thought I was eating 1800 calories I was sometimes eating upwards of 3000 calories and this might (yeah, right) have interfered with my weight loss progress over the past year. For some people, the problem with this root vegetable is principally when it is distilled into vodka. For me, it is when I place the potato in the microwave. Well it is a new dawn.

My computer crashed and I had to reformat it since I couldn't even do system restore or uninstall anything. That's why I'm a bit late. though Tues might be a better day to weigh in.
Also we went camping and I've gained a half pound! It was fun though. I just need to start eating healthier... soon!
Weight is 133.5

61.9kg (136.5 lb)
I extremly happy with that. I know my starting weight in here is a little high, because I didn't have a scale and had to go by the last seen number, but now I have a scale and regular updates will follow ;)

I dont know how I did it..I havn't excersized in 3 days, I've been sick! But maybe thats how I lost the weight the last few days...perhaps my diet plan should be to stick around hospitals and open the door for sick people at doctor's offices LOL

I'm a few days early with my weigh in but I really want to change the colour my name is in. I have made up for my fair ground excess of last week and I'm back down to my starting weight. 176.2. Now I can start losing again.

Probably cause my fridge has been pretty empty this week! Something exciting happened to me yesterday too, so I was too distracted to eat enough.

State of play after 6 days of calories increased from 1800 to 1850: this week the scale is reporting HIGHER numbers than last week on the scale but for now I'm still going to call my 'true' weight at 53.5kg = 117.8lb. If I do gain weight I'd like to believe that it is muscle but this has always been a tricky one for my head. Certainly if my weight is increasing I'll be sticking to this calorie level for some time and not increase it (and perhaps even revert back to 1800).
And here's that graph:

Since most of this week was spent just returning to my starting point after my fair ground naughtiness, I only have the tiniest of losses to report this time. 176. Only down 0.2 of a pound. I'm going to need to get more aggressive if I want to meet my goal for this challenge. Last challenge the weight came off quite easily, this time I'm really having to work at it.

Time to face facts and post. Weight is 135.5 It's time to do something about it and stop before I go any higher. In all honesty I really haven't thought about my weight, exercise and eating very much. I decided to go back to school and my 19 yr old son has developed some health problems so that's where my thoughts have been. Regardless... I do not want to lose the gains I had made in my health! And... that's exactly what's been happening unfortunately.
I'm sorry you've been sick ArtistJohn. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Thanks Sassy
Don't know whether I have had swine flu V tired and bad stomach, headache. Cough etc. Apparently most people only show mild symptoms. My daughter has something as well. It seems to be rampant over here. What's it like in the states?
Hopefully we had our dose and now we are immune if it gets worse (mutates)
Been eating loads of live yogurt and feeling a bit better today. Eaten a lot healthier as well.
It will take another couple of weeks to get back to my start weight.
Never mind

I haven't seen anyone sick around here lately, just my son who has an inquinal hernia, but that's not contagious. Sounds like you're doing the best thing. That would be my advice to take some probiotics. I tried some tablets of probiotics called "Primal Defense" that helped me with some digestive problems fairly quickly when I took it 3 times a day. I also have had help from taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in some juice though it was more mild than those tablets. Sorry it is taking such a toll on you. Hope you start feeling better soon. You have to get well before you worry about your weight.

Way to look on the bright side ArtistJohn! If this new strain of H1N1 follows the pattern of the spanish H1N1 version you've got it made.
This is how it's going in Canada. Although I don't know anyone personally who has caught it, 1,436 confirmed cases of the swine flu virus have been reported in my province and over 10,000 in all of Canada. They even had to isolate a ward in my city's Children's Hospital because four people (two staff two children)have come down with it. Despite the large number of people contracting it, most haven't had to be hospitalized and there have only been 3 deaths in my province and 45 in the whole country (and most of those have had pre-existing medical conditions). They are a little worried that the situation will worsen come fall/winter when everyone moves their social activities indoors and schools are back in session, not to mention the consequences if it mutates into a more deadly strain. Free public vaccinations should be available in October after the regular flu shots are given out. Normally I wouldn't even worry about it (despite the World Health Organization raising the Pandemic alert phase to it's highest level), but there's nothing like becoming a parent to make you paranoid.

Well it's official, I have fallen off the wagon and the wagon has gone on without me .
Current weight 134... way up, even from where I started.
Well, I haven't given up and I am in this until the end so it's time for me to suck it up and get back on track. If I run maybe I can still catch that wagon .

Hmmm...I weighed myself today and my weight is way down. Almost two pounds down from yesterday. Of course I'm not going to post it since it's not my realistic weight just evidence that I didn't drink nearly enough water yesterday. I just think that it's interesting how much our weight can fluctuate on a day to day basis.

ArtistJohn, I have swollen glands under my chin/jaw that are very painful. I hope I'm not getting sick. Did you give me your swine flue? ***teasing*** I should have known joining this weightloss challenge came with risks!
Guess I'll go see what I can take... probiotics? Vitamin C? Iodine? Echinechea? I better find something. I hate being sick.
