Down 5 pounds. We're such a bunch of loosers

Great job everyone. You are all inspriations.
I am down only 1 lb but at least it is a loss. Being socked in here with ice is waring at me, we are out of school again tomorrow. This is nuts! This is Oklahoma...only have snow/ice once every 3 years, this year...twice already.
Anyway, at least I am getting a different kind of exercise, breaking ice off the front door in order to get out was new.

Hey! I'm new so it's my first time getting to post in this section! I'm so glad you all have weight in dates, that just motivates me more! This morning at the gym I weighted myself and lost 2 pounds! Yay! Much better feeling than last week when I somehow gained a pound! Uck! Anyways Congrats to all of you!!!

I see that we're still moving down with some great losses! I'm down 2.6 this week.

Good Morning ALL and Congrats !!!!!! Monday was my weigh in day...Aunt Flo is in town and bloated..yet i still lost 2 pounds..YAY LOL it made me feel so good

Well, I only lost 1 lb this past week, but that is better than gaining 1 pound. At first I was a little discouraged, as I had hoped for 2, but then I remembered the vow I made to myself this year: Slow and steady wins the race, and I'm NOT going to obsess over my obesity....just going to overcome it! After my pep talk (and coming here!), I felt better!

I'm SOOO excited for everyone's losses! You all have been working and the rewards are obvious! Great job!!

Here's wishing us all a great week this week as well!!

Okie Chick, Lisa and RitzyFritz....you ONLY lost a 1lb?......Ladies, its a whole pound! You're one more pound toward your goal. That's awesome!

[RitzyFritz]

Thanks, Rhonda! Isn't it silly how we do that!? I really should be happy for ANY weight gone, but I tend to get caught up in the fact that "she lost 2" "she lost 3" "she last 2.5" and on and on. However, I'm working on changing my mindset this year. Thanks for helping me keep it straight!!

Now at 284 on the no diet exercise plan. I am going to start WW in the next couple of weeks when I am fully settled in to my gym routine. Also - now fitting into my second largest swimsuit!

Thanks for the reminder Rhonda. I was actually disappointed this morning with my offical weigh-in myself but your post made me realize that at least I'm down from last week and I'm now in a new decade - I'LL TAKE IT!!

Congratulations everyone!

Ritzyfritz, melsfolly

I know Rhonda already made you feel better, but she's right one pound is one pound. I read somewhere on this website, (doubt I could ever find it again), but someone was comparing their weight loss in sticks of butter.

Example: You lost 1 pound = FOUR sticks of butter !!! OMG . . . next time you're in the grocery store pull those four stick of butter out of the package and look at them . . . I think it's a LOT!!

So for me, I am thinking of my weight loss in sticks of butter . . .


I don't know, maybe it's weird, but then again I've been told I'm a bit strange

Either way, just hang in there . . .

That is a GREAT example! Thanks for helping me keep my focus! I will definitely think differently the next time 1 lb is what I get on the scales - gain or loss!

Thanks again! This place is unbelievable...better yet, the people here are unbelievable!
