40-something weekly weigh-in
 

So in reading through the threads it seems a lot of people are having the same frustration I am with fluctuating weights. Hopefully if we all check our weights on a weekly basis we will see some progress. I'll start - Friday's my weigh-in day:

5/6: 139.2
5/11: 138.0
5/18: 137.8

Hi! I will copy and paste my weekly weigh-ins from the 100lb club. No one seems to be posting to that thread anymore, so hopefully, this one will be more active.

Wow, guac, you can really see your progress when you chart it out like that! But you must have been fit to be tied in January!!

Week 1 for me! (pay no attention to my join date!)

Start: 187.4
Yesterday: 186.4:carrot:

seagirl - good luck to you!

natamars - yes, January was tough to get through, although I have had a similar plateau in April/May for a few weeks at 158/159. It's tough to stay motivated during those times, but I am determined to be stubborn and believe the scale will eventually drop if I stick to my plan. I think that seeing the recordings of my weight proves to me that I will eventually lose if I keep holding on.

I weighed in this morning. I suppose I will record every Sunday weight.

5/20 164

Kelly, that's just what I'm planning to do too - weigh in on Sundays. Things are less hectic in the morning etc. I will probably weigh in during the week just to keep an eye on things, but it'll be unofficial...

Hi Seagirl! Good to see you ever here too :)

natamars and guac - Wow, you are both doing amazingly!


Today (May 20): 162

I definitely need the accountability of this thread.
5/21 = 161 yikes

Wow! It seems y'all around 130s through 160!! Is there room for someone trying to get there from 170?

05/21 - 170

KelStand - Sounds like a plan to weigh every Sunday! I think I am more sporadic - some weeks I weigh once and other weeks more than once. Some weeks I am not brave enough to weigh in at all! That's why this accountability thread should help me to bite the bullet and keep tabs on my weight.

Gingermint - Thanks! I know what you mean about keeping things official. It's helpful to write weigh-ins down to keep track.

NEMom - Great to see you here! You are doing fine. You'll shed the few extra pounds in no time.

LittleBlueCat - Of course! Most of us have been where you are today, so don't feel intimidated. It's great to have you here!

Thanks again, natamars, for starting this thread!

Looks like I had a small whoosh this week! I'll take it. Every pound gets me closer to a healthy BMI!

5/25: 137.4

I'll take the small loss. Very up and down week. Job stuff is crazy. When I have an interview I'm too nervous to eat, and then afterward I'm starving. Have not tracked well the last few days, and not enough exercise this week.

guac, 3 lbs. in 8 days - WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!

LBC, welcome!! We're all here for the same reason...doesn't matter where in the journey you are.

NEMom, hello! We all need to encourage each other to post here every week, even if the news is not good. I ate too much too late last night and normally would have skipped my weigh-in, but I had promised myself I'd post here every Friday.

Hey, Ginger!

Sea, YAY on the pound!! Keep posting!!

Start: 187.4
5/19: 186.4
5/28: 185.6 :carrot:

I weigh on Fridays. I tend to run and bike and beach on the weekends, and I think by Sunday my muscles are puffy and I'm probably retaining water.

Am I the only one who counts 10ths of a pound? I need to! Sometimes that might be all there is!

Drum roll, please...... 163! I actually lost something this pre-TOM week!

5/20 164
5/27 163

5/17 145
5/24 145
6/01

5/21 = 161 yikes
5/28 = 158 (mostly water weight, probably 2 lbs at least)

Trying to keep on track but really struggling to stay focused. 8 more pounds, I know I can do it. One day at a time.

been following IP since March 13th, have lost 35 pounds! Weigh in Every other Monday

Ladies,

If you don't mind, I will keep a daily tally here? -- And at the end of each week I will calculate my loss/gain

5/24 145
5/31 144.5

Bad week for me -

6/3 163

Well....at least I didn't gain.

Keep up the good work everybody!

Good thing it is only Monday :D We had Mexican for dinner and scale went from 144 to 148.5, yikes. Lots of water weight to pee out before Friday's weigh in. :lol:

Friday 6/1: 184.8 :carrot:

Today: 183, which doesn't count because I spent yesterday heaving my guts out with some bug. But still, of course I weighed myself. :dizzy:

Not a good weigh in this moring. Did not think my week/weekend that bad but I guess it was.

5/21 = 161 yikes
5/28 = 158 (mostly water weight, probably 2 lbs at least)
6/4 = 159.6

Ug, I have gained so much from my lowest weight and my clothes are thight. Need to get my rear back in gear.

5/6: 139.2
5/11: 138.0
5/18: 137.8
5/25: 137.4
6/1: chickened out
6/8: 137.0

Was actually up about 2 lbs., but once I cut the carbs they came right off..137 is definitely a set point for me - BLAH!!

NEMom, this part is tough - I think 160 was your old goal, right? Will be hard to get below it, but if you set your mind to it, you can do it.

seagirl, hope you're feeling better. I ABSOLUTELY count partial pounds, as you can see - my scale weighs in .2 increments.

sum, hope your weigh-in goes well - amazing how much water damage one dinner can do, isn't it?

kel, great attitude - hopefully you're headed for a whoosh on Sunday.

cbigsis, yes, family visiting was what threw me off last week..when people visit New York they all want pizza and bagels(and no one had to twist my arm). Hope it goes well for you.

guac, I'm sure that's not real. Hope your weigh-in today goes well!!

142.5 lbs, woohoo! Lost 1.5 pounds last week.

I am going to go with yesterday's weigh in because today I didn't weigh due to PMS bloating, plus, my husband and I went out to dinner last night and I ate way too much! I have another big food weekend coming up. I know I should be in control of what I eat, but all of these social obligations are really starting to piss me off! They all revolve around food and really set me back. It's getting to be that I don't enjoy parties and dinners and lunches with friends and family because they ruin all of my hard work during the week. I am going to a friend's house for dinner tonight too! I don't know - I just feel like I can't diet and have a social life at the same time.

Yeah, Guacamole! 2 lbs! And Sum....1 1/2!You go girl!

I, myself, may not do my weekly weigh in the morning. TOM finally arrived in full force and I am sure I have gained a few pounds with bloating! I feel yucky! I will weigh when that part of this lovely week is over!

This will be Fun,
started 6/2/12 174 lbs.

I am going to go with this morning's weigh in, even though yesterday's was 151. I ate like a horse at a BBQ tonight and am not anticipating a good number on the scale tomorrow morning. I might not weigh in. I hate it when my self control leaves me. Anyway, I did well overall this week, and I hope to get back on the wagon tomorrow.

5/6: 139.2
5/11: 138.0
5/18: 137.8
5/25: 137.4
6/1: chickened out
6/8: 137.0
6/15: 135.8

Woo-hoo! 1.2 in a week is a whoosh for me! I am hoping I am firmly below my 137 set point, but will have to watch, and continue the no night eating.

guac, you are down 22 lbs. in 6 months. How fantastic is that?? And not hope to get back on the wagon - you WILL get back on! Keep posting!

envelope, nice loss this week!

mipalj, welcome - congrats on the 4 lbs!

kel, hope the evil TOM is gone!

sum, yay! nice loss.

Slow and steady baby!!

All of you are doing so well! Good for you!!! :o)

As for me...I am really beginning to wonder if it is possible for me to lose and keep losing! I went ahead and weighed today because I just knew I had lost some b/c my clothes are fitting better and my waist is almost an inch smaller! But....no....I GAINED 2 pounds!!!!
I don't know if it is my thyroid issues and my meds aren't right or what. I am exercising and watching what I eat....
I am just a little discouraged this week. Thanks for the shoulders to cry on.

KelStand - If you kept losing inches and your clothes kept getting looser, would it really matter if the number on the scale stayed exactly the same? Please do not think I am lecturing, I am saying it as much for my benefit as yours.

You do have a point, Envelope.

141 still, but thats ok

KelStand - I will say that I have had weeks like yours, where my clothing seemed looser and I felt smaller, but the scale either went up or stayed the same. I think that your body is changing and shrinking, it just sometimes takes awhile for the scale to catch up. I don't have any scientific explanation for this phenomenon, but I think that if we keep eating right and exercising, the scale will eventually show the results.

Just started WW in May. Here is my progress so far.

Seeing my numbers laid all out there in a weekly progress report makes me a little ashamed of myself for being upset when I don't lose in a given week or I gain back 1 lb. In the grand scheme of things when it is written out like this I am doing awesome and I need to keep reminding my self of that.
