Support Groups - Weekly Weigh-in -- Let's get accountable!

Good morning, all. I'm borrowing an idea from the 300+ section. I need a weekly WI -- anyone care to join me? I'm going to WI on Fridays but feel free to substitute your own dates if you want to.

I'm just going to edit my numbers in.

This'll take us through to the end of 2009. Let's look fabulous for New Years, shall we?


October 3th: 221 (Bump UP from yesterday, thinking carbs and salt) Looking to be down at least 3 pounds next week.
October 9th: 217 -- -4 :woohoo:
October 16th:
October 23rd:
October 30th:

:cb: HUZZAH! :cb:

^bump!^

K, bump-up is gone. I see I screwed up some of my dates. Also, I'm going to be away for the last one in October and the first one in November. But I am going to be ON PLAN. :yes:

OK - I'm going to TRY to do this.

Monday is usually my WORST day to weigh in so I'm going to bite the bullet and post my MONDAY weight.

So:

October 12th - 204.4
October 19th - 202
October 26th -

Oh, good for you, Anagram! You're still SO close to Onederland.

I've wandered far afield. So stupid to stop weighing -- where's the "smacking self on forehead" smiley?

However, I see the path to victory laid out before me and I WILL get there!

Okay, I just started but here is my start and I am doing Sundays as I started on Saturday.

October 11- 238.8
October 18

Well, WI sucked, to put it bluntly. Sick all week and that so often causes problems. On top of Thanksgiving celebrations. And I stopped daily weigh-ins, which so often leads to things getting out of hands. Nevertheless, it is the day of reckoning and reckon I shall. Plus vow to have a better week next week. :yes:

Welcome, Air81! Good luck for Sunday!

This'll take us through to the end of 2009. Let's look fabulous for New Years, shall we?


October 3th: 221 (Bump UP from yesterday, thinking carbs and salt) Looking to be down at least 3 pounds next week.
October 9th: 217 -- -4 :woohoo:
October 16th: 222 -- Back to the start, plus 1 for good measure. :sad:

I do a weigh in and a measurement - makes me feel better to see inches gone if i haven't lost pounds lol :)

I weigh and measure on Sundays. I will post here next Sunday :)

I am not sure of my measurements, but I currently weigh in at...

October 21st: 275.8

I'm in. Friday's my day also. Started 10/5, so here are the Fridays:

10/9: 153
10/16: 151.5
10/23:
10/30:

10/7: 154
10/9: 153
10/16: 151.5
10/23:150.5
10/30:

I like posting this weekly - frustrated by the up 1 down 1 during the week, but I started on 10/5 and am seeing some progress.

Still haven't gotten rid of last bump-up, although I had a much better week. And I'm going to be away the next two Fridays but I'll be working hard while I'm away and hope to have a good loss for Nov. 13.

:welcome: April rain and Natamars!

10/24: 132.8
10/31: 132.4
11/7 : 128.8
11/14: 125.6

OK - I didn't count yesterday's weigh in because things were a little out of kilter schedulewise. But it turned out to be the same today - and I'm tickled pink.

October 12th - 204.4
October 19th - 202

This is getting frustrating. Stayed on plan this week at about 1200 calories/day and was at the gym five times including two hour body sculpting classes and a Zumba! class. My new scale which weighs in .2 increments comes today - hope it doesn't show a higher weight! Also thinking of trying low-carb for a few weeks to see if I can FINALLY break 150.

Well here is my week 3. I'm happy with the timing just realized I like miraculous overnight occurrences! I know I know, but still I decided that is just how I am.
October 11- 238.8
October 18- 228.6
October 25- 223.4

Anagram- This week will be different! Keep watching it! A million things can be "1.4lbs"

10/7: 154
10/9: 153
10/16: 151.5
10/23:150.5
10/30: 151.5
11/6: 147.2(yay!)

The low-carb is really doing it - I started on Sunday. It's weird - I actually have to really try to get my calories in, because all the foods I love and crave have carbs. Thinking about trying this through the end of November or so to see what happens(although I have to make an exception for T'giving, because that is the one day a year I eat stuffing and mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole. Will have to watch my portions or get incredibly ill).

Anagram - this week WILL be better for you! I totally understand the up and down thing and the frustration.

October 12th - 204.4
October 19th - 202
October 27th - 199.8
November 2rd - 201.2

November 9th - 201.2 again (I had been down to 199.2 before the weekend).-
November 16th -
November 23th -

10/7: 154
10/9: 153
10/16: 151.5

11/6: 147.2(yay!)
11/13: 144.8

I am such a geek. I was getting so impatient with the board this morning because I couldn't wait to update my numbers! Only .8 lbs. from my 10-lb reward, which I have decided will be a massage.

The low-carb is getting tougher, and Thanksgiving will be a challenge. I am giving myself permission to taste everything, because this is stuff I only eat once a year. But I have some time off from work, so I'll get in some extra workouts.

Hey girls,

Can I get in on this thread? Will start from this morning's -

Huh. I did come in and post on Friday but where did my post go? I was complaining about only having lost 3 pounds -- and those ones were relost, to boot -- while I was walking for hours and hours every day and watching what I ate. K, here goes again.

Anagram, hang in there! That's a big milestone so it's no wonder we often have to play around in that vicinity for a while. Just keep on weighing in and posting and you'll get well below.

CardboardCutoutCat, :welcome:

Natamars, I don't blame you for being anxious to update -- NICE NUMBERS!!!

Air81 - holy smokes! What are you doing? Those look like "Biggest Loser" weigh-ins. :eek:

Arabella - a 3 lb loss after such a wonderful vacation is great. I know you exercises a lot but you must have been terrifically vigilant.

Great number - Natamars. I agree on you T'giving strategy but then I'm a terrible adviser on diet.

Always welcome, CardboardCutoutCat. Gorgeous photo!!!

I am taking Releana yes, but you can see the weightloss is slowing down alot. I am actually stopping the medicine for Christmas and will just workout and count calories. Counting calories, I am naturally a good eater, didn't work before because I naturaly don't eat enough, but alas I will try try again. I've been starving this week and its TOM but am anxious to see what I lose for my Sunday weigh in (Friday is my birthday so I'm having sushi which is cheating and hummus/pita chips and choc stra. friday).

I'm so p*ssed! I was so good this week too, better than most! I'm hoping that the reason there is no change is because of the cold that I'm currently smothered with. My head is so full of snot right now, maybe that counts for a couple of pounds, lol (if I don't laugh I'll cry!)

Sarah

So. Up a pound this week. I'm going to have to do something to shake things up. I've been behaving pretty well.

Hang in there, Anagram! Just continuing to weigh in every week helps, I firmly believe. My weight gain could become astronomical in no time if I was not, somewhere, somehow, held accountable. Too easy to stop weighing in, for one thing. And I sure know where that gets me. :eek:

Air81, wish I had the problem of not naturally eating enough. :rolleyes:

CCC, congrats on the maintain. Yeah, I sometimes think we retain fluid when we have a cold. Will see when I get rid of this blasted one...

10/7: 154

Had a cold this week and got some extra rest and ate too many carbs. The good news is that I have time off next week and my gym is open, even on Thanksgiving - time to push harder there.

Depressing changing my stats to move my weight UP - oh, well.

Air81 - nice losses!

Arabella, great attitude, and so true. I always gain when I avoid the scale.

Anagram, I have a feeling you will be back in onederland for good very soon - think you are due for a whoosh!

CarboardCutoutCat, hope you are feeling better. A cold can mess with your fluids - keep drinking water and hope you're feeling better!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I know I will be thinking about getting on that scale the morning after - hopefully the image will keep me from stuffing my face.

Would love to start weighing in with you ladies. I just started this week. I weighed myself Tuesday and it was 222 and this morning I weighed in at 219 (YEA!). I am low carbing it and watching my calories and working out when my kids let me, lol.

October 11- 238.8
October 18- 228.6
October 25- 223.4
November 1- 219.4 My mini goal is 199 by Dec 31st.
November 8- 217.6
November 15-215.0
November 22- 214.6 (Weighed on Friday my bday and i was 212, but ate 'off diet' for two days...and TOM so hoping it will correct itself)

So great to hear from all of you!
Arabella~ Problem is I think that is why I haven't loss (or gained) weight in 10years!!!! I don't eat enough calories for my weight. I gained all my weight before I turned 18 and NONE since (I'm 28 as of friday). In Feb, when I start P90x I will try the 'counting calories' philosophy but this time eat the right amount for my weight. I tried this back in Jan-April but I ate 1200-1400 a day and I weighed 250 (1800cal min) I was working out 6days/circuit training and only losing 1lb a week! There's a little about me!
