HI ALL.

The other thread was getting so long that I thought I would start a new one for us.

Hope you're all doing well.

Down 1.2 this week. I don't even want to think how far I am from my goal. With 4 weeks left.

I have only lost .8 towards my goal. NOW I AM REALLY

HELLO

Had a good day yesterday - did not eat that last snack before bed which has been putting me over the limit lately. Whew! Now to do that again today . . .

Mommamel - Welcome!

Sounds like you have a really good plan for getting to your goal. Good luck and thanks for joining us!

Pryia - sorry you are feeling

. You are making progress - you must keep that in mind. Look how far you've come in a short time period. You can do it!

Hi all.

Hope you don't mind if 1 more 30 something takes on the challange (although quite late).

I registered at this site a while back, but never got going. Since that time, I have managed to get to my all time high.

I have recently begun to make efforts to reverse this trend, and would like to have a goal toward that end. Since I only have 4 weeks left, I am going to go for 8 pounds by LD. Hopefully, these 4 weeks will show good results, as I am just getting started.

So....

173 /168 /160 LD /124

Good luck all and Keep up the good work!

Hi All,

Weigh in went great last night, I did better than I thought I'd do!! I lost 2.4!! Here's the stats:

Starting Weight 7/4: 237.6
JULY 11th Weigh In: 236.2
AUG 1st Weigh In: 238.0
AUG 8th Weigh In: 235.6
Goal Weight 9/5: 229.0

So now I have 6.6 lbs. to lose in 4 weeks...that's 1.65 lbs. a week! This one's gonna be close, but I still have faith that I can do it!! I'm also hoping to get my 10 lb. ribbon next week...it's soo close, I'm at 9.8!!

Welcome Bailey!!

Have a great week all!!

HI

I can't believe there are only 4 weeks left on this goal. I have went in the wrong direction so far. I have weigh in tonight, but am expecting to maintain. I don't feel that I've lost any. It is a constant struggle, you know? I've got to get myself together!

Bailey - WELCOME!! Good luck on your goal that you've set! Do you do any particular program or are you doing this on your own?

Lbh - your goal is definitely reachable! Hooray for you!

BaileySG · 08-09-2001, 11:31 AM

Thanks for the Welcomes!

Rabbit: I am doing it on my own. I have done the National Weight Loss program (low-carb) before for a short time. I am trying to incorporate some of those ideas, trade Coke and alcohol for water and get some exercise. When I stop losing, I will look into a more formal program. If only that never occurs!

LBH: You grab that ribbon!

HI

Well, I did lose last night! Hooray! I lost 1.7, so I am glad. I'm still very far away from that Labor Day goal, but I'll keep working towards it.

Bailey - Terrific that you can do this on your own. I need the accountability of going in somewhere to weigh.

have a great weekend everyone.

Hi everyone, especially the new comers.

Well I did make a goal, but somewhere between making setting the goal and today - aliens have taken over my body. They are making me eat things that I should not be eating, however they have not stopped me from journalling and I am fighting back on the exercise front. I know that I have gained all the weight I had previously lost and I haven't been to a meeting for about a month. The support of the board has helped me keep the "lifestyle" in the forefront of my mind. So I am just posting to say that I am going back to WW for the 4th time. Why did the "3rd and final" time of joining not work. Simply - I took my eye off the long term goal and allowed another issue to dominate and take over. Don't get me wrong, it is a big issue, but it should not have been big enough for me to sabotage all my good work. So I will go back on Tuesday, I will post my new weight and come what may, I will not skip a meeting and I will not worry how slowly the weight comes off AND I will not worry about plateaus (which has been a big issue for me this time) . I will continue to post the stats however shameful they may be, but I know that you guys out there have been some of what I am going through and you still keep going - so who am I to quit

One more thing - we are so good at giving each other advice and support and we sooooo do not take our own advice!

Trip · 08-10-2001, 01:01 PM

Hey BFB, I sooooooooo understand what you are going through. I have been to WW 5 or 6 times (lost count

). I am going back on Wednesday morning. I really want to make it work this time, and reading all of the posts in the forum have really given me some motivation. How do you guys do it? Replying to all in one post. There is so much here.

I hope to stay up to date on all postings, and to reply as good as you guys do.

I have been going through my old program books, and figuring out some ideas for breakfasts, lunches and suppers, seems to be going pretty good. Did you guys know that there is a web site called companion.ca that has quite a few recipes on it. I got some good ideas there for suppers.

Well going to go now. Hope to get to know you all.
Good luck BFB, wish me luck as well.

Rabbit · 08-13-2001, 12:39 PM

HELLO

I hate to even say this, but I was gone again over the weekend and did not count my points. Did okay on Friday but Saturday was a bust. Did walk on Saturday though so I'm glad about that. Hopefully I didn't do too much damage.

BFB - good for you for rejoining WW!

I really hate when I have to post "shameful" stats also - but figure it's probably good for me to face the music. You are so so right about us not taking our own advice!

Trip - WELCOME!!

And good luck on your goals and on rejoining WW. The only way I can respond to everyone on these posts is that I take notes!

bye now

197lbs

So I have gained since I made my LD goal pledge. I have been totally off program, but I am now back with a vengence. My new LD goal is to go down, not up

Rabbit · 08-15-2001, 10:15 AM

HI

I have had the hungries this week - oh no! Boy, I hope I don't have a lousy weigh in.

BFB - good luck!!

HI

Tonight is my weigh in and I'm hoping for atleast a maintain - no gain, please! I am having such a hard time - I go up, I go down, I go up . . . on and on. Right now I'll be happy to get back to where I started this goal at by the time this goal is over. And that is awful! All I can say is that I am not trying hard enough.

If I want to make my ww goal by my birthday I have got to kick some serious butt! No more kitty-footing around. No more excuses.

I'll be glad to weigh in tonight so that I can start a new week. I'm ready to say good-bye to this one!
