Weekly Weigh In...Step right up!
 

Just a place to record your weekly progress...whether it's weight, inches, body fat percentage or all of the above...your choice.
Keep track of your numbers here and see how well you're doing each week.

Like getting on the scale at Weight Watchers...without having to pony up the dough!

I guess I'm first...okay here goes...what the heck was I thinking?

6/28/04
Weight: 271.5 ouch!
Body Fat: 45.2%

I'm keeping it simple...I may get bold one day and add measurements, but for now I'm reeling from these numbers!

~deep breath~

Okay, it's a starting point...looking forward to making those numbers go DOWN!

Who's next?

I guess I'm next
195 and holding
I started at 260 and have been stuck here since about Dec.

Monday June 28 2004
This morning it is 320 lbs. In the last week I have lost 5 lbs :D

I don't tend to weigh except when I'm at the doctor, so for now I'll do one measurement and calorie and exercise goals.

Hip measurement: 55 1/2 in.
Exercise goal for this week: 10 min. stationary bike daily
Calorie goal for this week: average 2000/day or less

I'm starting this out at 251.4. I have a bit of PMS yo-yo'ing going on so hope that is the high end!

Accountability
 

Hey, whatever you want to keep track of...do it here! Use this thread for tracking weight or daily goals, whether it's exercise, calories, meals, points...whatever. Set your goals each day, come back and check off what you've accomplished...

I just wanted a place to come and be accountable to...to see it spelled out in front of me. I need a LOT of reinforcement! So that's ME, you can use this place however you need to, to track YOUR progress.

Lots of luck to everyone!

Tuesday 6/29 WI 293 (yes that's up about 5 pounds from Spring Fling)
Exercise 1 hour Waterwalking class, 1 hour water core strengthing class
3rd hypnosis/accupuncture session

This thread is a great idea!

I started in April at about 291 :fr: yikes! And as of Sunday 6/27/2004 I'm down to 264. My mini goal is to lose 50lbs by November 1st, so I'm more than halfway there!

Food this week has been okay - could be better. Not counting calories, just trying to eat smaller portions and watch my carb intake.

Exercise is basically chasing kids around outside and gardening. Not enough, but all I have time for right now, unless I want to get up at 4:30 am - NOT!

Anyway - like I said, this is a good idea - I hope to have more time (yah, right) to post and reply.

Have an awsome day and keep up the good work everyone! :cheer:

Friday 7/204 292 down 1 pound.

Jumping In
 

Hello All!

I registered back in April, but lost my password. :dizzy:
I finally figured out how to retrieve it via email. :D

Well, I started this whole thing (SugarBusters) in mid-Feb at around 380 (a rough estimate; didn't have a scale that could weigh me back then).

Last Sunday, was 335.8, but then went to Memphis for a workshop. This morning, weighed in at 339. :yikes: Too much BBQ and baked beans (sugar, sugar, sugar!). I only allowed myself to have a carbfest for the first two days, and even then, I tried to control myself. I usually do my "official" weigh-ins on Mondays, so I'm hoping I'll be closer to 336 again by then. I've been really strong and "on program" since Wednesday. :angel:

I am blessed that I have an apartmentmate who is doing it with me. We don't keep temptation-type foods in the house.

Have a great day!

-Lynn

Well, I made my calorie target for the week: averaged 1862.
But I only exercised 4 days out of 7.
Hard to even set goals for next week--I'll travel to my mother's mid-week, and everything goes topsy-turvy, especially exercise. I'll say this, though: I'll keep counting calories and my goal is to average less than 1975. If I don't check in it'll be because I don't have good internet access for... OMG... 3 weeks.

I'll fess up. The scale screamed this morning when I got on it. But I'm being accountable and will get my butt in gear as of today!

My goal for the week:
South Beach phase 1-1/2. (fruit but no bread, potatoes, rice or pasta this week).
General Conditioning workouts - 3 x
Bike riding - 40 miles for the week
Horseback riding - 1 hour for the week
Walking the dog - 2 hours for the week

Start a Dr Phil journal.

Is it Monday already?
 

Here we go....

6/28/04
Weight: 271.5 ouch!
Body Fat: 45.2%

7/5/04
Weight: 266.5
Body Fat: 44.2

Progress!!

Goals this week:
I like Terri's SBD Phase 1 1/2! I can do "no bread" but "no fruit!" is HARD!! Especially in the summer! Especially since there's a huge bowl of ripe, lovely watermelon sitting in my frig. Soooooooooooo:

SBD Phase 1.5
Exercise: 7 hours. There. That doesn't look like much, when you consider that there are 168 hours in a week! Definitely do-able.
Water: 1 gallon/day
Continure with Dr Phil and post on the book threads.

that's it for me...Have a great week all!

Ooops, nearly forgot: hip measurement is 55 in., down 1/2 in. from last week. I'll keep doing that until I can actually weigh myself reliably :(

Tuesday & Fridays are my weigh in days, but I'll post my goals here for the week.

1.) sensible eating, (no particular plan this week, but watching everything that goes into my mouth and make sure I REALLY want it)

2) go to the health club 5x and do my regular combination of walking/water aerobics.

3) drink lots of water

4)Here's where I need help!!! I plan to start my Oxycise again tonight and keep it up for 3 weeks. That will be until we leave for our trip to PA. I really want to keep doing the Oxycise, because I KNOW it works, and it's easy and it just makes me so mad at myself that I just don't do it!!! So by putting it down here and making you all the Oxycise Police, maybe I'll get it done!

July 6---Still 195

Tuesday 7/6 290.75 down 1 1/4

And I met all my goals yesterday!!! I actually did my OXYCISE before Iwent to bed :cb:

I lost 11lbs the month of June!!!!! Even though some of my TOPS friends say part of that is how much my gallbladder weighed :)

Still working away at the exercise, but did not do my Oxycise last night. I was just too tired to do, it. I guess that's not really an excuse, but it's the one I used.

Friday 7/9 down to 290 even so that's 3/4 a pound since Tuesday. I think the wellness session kicked in better yesterday. I didn't get hungry during the afternoon as I usually do.

My turn...started WW on my own 1/5/04 at 259 lbs. As of last Saturday, I'm down to 183 ~ down 76 lbs and I am happy and motivated to keep loosing. This week was not one of my better weeks as hubby and I have had the week off from work. Tomorrow is weigh-in day and I'm scared. I think this forum is great and will make an effort to record my weekly scale readings

She's back (poltergiest)
 

Hello everyone,

Hope you remember me - I have been off line for a couple of months and just got my connection up today. I am so glad to see this thread. I need the accountability.

Todays weight - 344.

This weeks plan - start water, take lunch, reduce carbs, and start back on excersise program. I am doing stretch band excersise. Hoping my daughter and I start walking again. Wish us luck!

Judy

June 11-- 193 down 2 lbs.

How I did on my goals for the week:

My goal for the week:

South Beach phase 1-1/2. (fruit but no bread, potatoes, rice or pasta this week). I did really well the first part of the week. I didn't do so bad the rest of the week other than having starchy carbs. This one I wrestle with because of all the biking - do I need starchy carbs or not?

General Conditioning workouts - 3 x 20 min session - 20 minutes. I fell on my face on this one.

Bike riding - 40 miles for the week - 27.5 miles done - mechanical issues got the best of me.

Horseback riding - 1 hour for the week - How about 1 hour weedeater work at the barn. Got a ride in on Saturday.

Walking the dog - 2 hours for the week - 1 hr 40 minutes walked

Start a Dr Phil Journal - Journal started by reviewing book club threads for my comments. Up through Chap 3 and working on 4.

I weighed in this morning and its hard to tell what's going on. I had a good 3 pound loss going earlier in the week and now its jumped back up. Based on how arthritic my hands feel this morning, I'm blaming it on humidity.

My goal for the week beginning 7/12:

South Beach phase 1-1/2. (fruit and limited starchy carbs).

General Conditioning workouts - 75 minutes

Bike riding - 40 miles for the week -

Horseback riding - 1 hour for the week

Walking the dog - 2 hours for the week as heat permits

Continue working on my Dr Phil Journal -

Out of last weeks goals, about the only one that I was truly consistent with was drinking the daily gallon o' water. NOT EASY! I keep two 1 liter bottles filled at all times in the frig. I will drink at least four of them during the day. ~glug glug~

I need to be much more consistent with the exercise. I'm doing this well without a daily workout....hmmm...just think how much better I could do! (positive self talk here...thanks, Dr Phil!)

This week's goals:
WATER!
EXERCISE! daily, plus increase activity....
FOOD! Low carb, ie: South Beach Phase 1.5

I need to make this a stellar week. Next Wednesday we leave for vacation! I think I'll bring my scale with me this year!

YUPPS!!! 290.5 today up 1/2 pound!

Even though I did really good on MOST of my goals. I did only one day of Oxycise, but went to the health clube 5 days and did at least an hour of water aerobics,usually 1 hour wa and 30 minutes walking. On Tuesdays I do 2 hour sessions of wa.

The only day I fell off the good food wagon was Saturday when I was at the horse races and I was on the SEEFOOD diet.

And Kat, I'm right there with you on this needing to be a super week. We are leaving Tuesday or Wednesday next week for our trip. I reported that to my wellness coach and she has me comming in for an extra session this week, and said she wants the doctor to talk to me before I leave. Hummmmmm

I'm going to take the low side of the two weights 190/191.
I have been eatting salads all week. :D

Just made the cut
 

Jen hits 180!
 

Hey y'all

I've weighed in at 180 today. I've been trying to shift the 182 for ages (nearly a year!) :fr:

Today it's 180! Woohoo! Although I guess I shouldn't celebrate too early cosd tomorrow it'll probs b right back up at 182! :chin:

I guess it's that bike ride I went for yesterday - 18 miles just to go get some car part they didn't have!!! :censored:

I'm kickboxing tonight for the first time ever! I'll be Buffy the Backside Slayer in no time at all! (sorry Lush for nicking your name!!) :yikes:

I started out at 228, now I'm 180, goal weight 140!!!

Saying that, my Mum and I are having a studio shoot to mark our 21st and 50th birthdays in September..... Will have to get a wriggle on!!! :tread:

Keep up the good work ladies!

Jen :dance:

Okay, I'm taking this weigh-in. 250.0

That's a total of 28 pounds gone! I need to do better about water today since we're having extreme humidity.

Getting Back on Track!
 

Hi Ladies -
My turn to get back in the swing of things and hold myself accountable for what I am doing to my body.

I started losing at the beginning of 2003 and lost 45 that year. In 2004 my husband and I have been trying to start a family and I've been undergoing extensive fertility treatments which have caused a lot of stress and emotion. During the treatment cycles I have to limit exercise and the poor results have caused me to turn back to old habits! NO MORE OF THAT! NO EXCUSES! I am going to continue my fight for a child AND continue my struggle for a healthy life!!

The past month or so the scale has fluctuated from 297-302 :fr:

Up from my low point of 283-285.

This morning the scale was 300.0 on the dot! I NEVER want to see that number show up on my scale again!!!

I am hoping this thread helps me add more accountability to what goes in my mouth and gets me back on the exercise bandwagon...

Today starts a new beginning! :D

Highest Weight: 328 (1/03) :(
Starting again weight: 300 (7/20/04) :o

WEIGH INS:
7/20/04: 300 :fr:
7/23/04: 296 :)
7/30/04: 298 :o

I know it's Thursday night but my Tuesday weigh-in was 287 down 1 pound. As I am now writting this from a hotel room in Arlington VA and have been on the road three days now and will not be back for at least another week, I will not weigh in tomorrow. I'm using the excuse of a different scale! Anyway I feel I have done really good on this trip. My plan of action was to eat only healthy snacks while in the car, but I have done better than that. I have not eaten any snacks, and I have made reasonable choices on the meals I've eaten. That is such an improvement, as I usually use a trip and a carte blanc invitation to eat anything and everything. Cross your fingers that this will power holds up!
