Default 2014 Weekly Weigh in - EVERYONE welcome!

[SIZE="2"]Anyone interested in a weekly weigh-in? Several daily weigh-ins here - though I personally weigh every day, I don't post that often & can't keep up! But a 15 lb gain since mid-Oct means I need help! Please join for Mutual Accountability and Support. Use whatever day of the week you want!

Jan 1 140.0

Smile I'm in!

This sounds like a useful thing to stay on track! Weighing in every day does nothing for my mental state considering all the annoying fluctuations!

I think I'll weigh in every Monday and see how that goes - might give more motivation to keep portions to a reasonable size on a Sunday!

Good luck everyone xxx

Oh and, Sparkle101, welcome!

As far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong people!) the aim of threads like this is for everyone to just post a weekly/daily/whatever report of their weigh in and a little about how they feel about that (good or bad!) so that others can offer congratulations / support in the hard times. It's a bit like a group blog?

So just weigh in when you want and post here for support .

Right, so, weekly weigh in number 1: 154lbs

Had the most ridiculous binge last night which just made me feel stupid and took me right back to when it used to be much more regular thing.

The thing is, my parents took my brother back to university and were therefore out for the whole evening. Being left on my own in the house does tend to trigger a binge as my brain instantly goes "you could eat and nobody would be there to see you and comment / disapprove".

But I disapprove of myself! As soon as I "come down" from the frenzy I feel absolutely awful and start mentally punishing myself.

Anyway, enough of my ranting. I hope that weekly weigh in next week will have a more positive feel to it!

Hello everyone! I want to join!!
After succesfully losing weight in 2010-11, I have been maintianing do the most part. I was living in Germany and France so slowly, little by little I gained back a few pounds. Because I was either very busy or super lazy when I was not busy, I stopped to exercise.. So now I want to get back to it and maybe lose a few pounds along the way

My goal is to drop 10 lbs by March 2014!

01/06/2014 - 149.0 lbs

I'm off to the gym :P

Hi all, I'm in! I try to only weigh myself once a week so this is perfect. I've been stuck at the same weight for a couple of weeks now and am going to try mixing things up by upping my calories slightly and joining the gym this week. My diet has been very inconsistent for the past 2 weeks, so I was incredibly relieved when I weighed myself today aaaaand:

07/01/14: 61.5kg

Phew!!!

Welcome Audacious! We're always hearing here about how healthy Greek/Mediterranean diets are, so maybe you can give us some tips! As far as low-carb tips, under the "Diet Central" section of the Forum is a thread devoted to low carb eating. And welcome to the weigh-in thread.

Hi Finch - wow, you seem pretty close to goal. Welcome to the thread!
I'm figuring since you're a day and a half ahead (or more) of those of us in the States, you'll be the first to weight in on your day, no?
Thanks for joining!

Jynx, you're absolutely right - it's meant to be supportive as we see, week by week, those pounds melt away! Or ounces. Or maintain. Or heck, even if we gain . . . then we're commiserate with each other.

Yeah, I hear you about being "Home Alone". I do the same & get mad at myself for it!

I'm new to the forums but thought I'd jump in on this one!

I'm Liz, used to be about 300-ish and am now close to the "one-derland"... SO close. LOL

My ultimate goal is 140 this year but my mini goal is 2lbs per week.

01/01/14 - 207.6
01/08/14 - 204.6
----------------------
3 lb loss this week

Feeling pretty great about that!
