It's time for the 3FC general weigh in thread. Everyone is welcome to join, just jump in whenever your official weigh in day rolls around. Good luck, everyone!
Me: 186.5, down 1.5 pounds from last week, and yo-yo-ing from two weeks ago. Sometimes I get discouraged at the small gains. But, I am certain that if I didn't constantly moniter my weight and make these reports, I would creep only upward, and would be back at my old 250+ self, sooner, not later. The struggling is hard, but it beats the pants off of just giving up.
Up 3.8 pounds from last Friday. I don't feel good about this, but I believe it's actually less than it seems. (Be prepared for too much information ... it's coming ... wait for it ....) Usually, I weigh myself when I'm empty, after I've been to the bathroom, and before I've eaten. This morning, though, it was late in happening & I had to get on that scale & have some breakfast before I left the house for the gym. So though I'm sure I'm up, it's probably not nearly 4 pounds in one week's time. I think I'm going to allow myself to check the scale tomorrow. Years ago, I used to weigh myself three times a day, and I noticed how my mood fluctuated with my weight, so I've been forcibly limiting myself to once a week on Friday morning. So it's a big thing for me to also check on Saturday. But I want the truth, damn it.
I haven't been keeping track by the weeks. I have lost 11 lbs since January 1st 2009. I believe I lost about 2 lbs last week. I lost more the first week. Have been losing about 2 lbs a week. I think this is a good amount.
My weigh in at Weight Watchers was last night. I'm up 1.2lb. It's only my second week. I lost 6.6 lbs last week. So I am still down 5.2lbs from my starting weight. I have been sticking to the plan. They told me it was probably just fluid.
I'm up approximately 2lbs this week. I had a baaaad week with food. Probably fluid retention due to the sodium but ick. I don't like it! Here's to a new week and doing A LOT better!
Down to 162.5 this week (was 164.5 last week). I would be losing more, but with the new job, my workouts have been virtually non-existent. Going to remedy that this coming week.
