This morning, I shed the half pound arising from my business trip, but that still only puts me down a half pound so far for the month. Sooooo…hopefully Ms. Whoosh Fairy will visit soon. I’d even settle for Baby Whoosh Fairy!

Turtle: The whoosh fairy needs to visit you too…150’s, 150’s, 150’s!

Jacqui: It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand why your diet is working, as long as it keeps working! :)

Joy: You too are deserving of the whoosh fairy…that fairy needs to get busy!

Woodstock: Yep... Our bodies retain water to help repair the minor muscle tears that arise when we start a new exercise routine. There’s a whoosh in your future very soon!

Minneey: I too find this Forum to be very helpful, especially this challenge thread. Good luck navigating the Friday night hazard!

183StGB: You’ve lost about 4 lbs since the beginning of the month…good job!

Campana: Great loss so far, although you’re right…we often see larger losses in the first week, a fair bit of which is water weight.

Sum: Great month so far…keep going!

Suds: If you’re at 177.8, then you’ve lost 3 lbs so far this month…which is great progress!

Sara: 4 lbs in one week is definite progress!

DaisyBelle: Good month so far!

65kgs on the nose! That's only .1 in the last 7 days. Here we go again with the slow weight drop :dizzy:

I dislike my scales though because the numbers kept jumping from 64.7 to 65.0 numerous times before it settled. Drives me crazy sometimes lol

today's weigh-in: 80.0kg (176.3lbs)

good morning everyone :)

I was SUPER reluctant about posting today -- I was out drinking last night, and I went totally overboard. The 4,000cals are a guesstimation, because really, I don't even remember what all I drank/ate. Yeah, once in a while. I am glad class starts in 10 days, it will bring a little more routine and seriousness into my life.
I went to run first Thing in the morning though :) First time after I had my wisdom teeth pulled, but I'm glad it went well. It is freezing cold in Germany though! It even snowed some places. We kinda skipped fall, I guess.

You guys are really awesome at writing personal Messages :)
let me try and catch up.

Campana great you're so Close to your Goal already! Keep going, and you'll exceed your own expectations! (which is an awesome thing, IMO ;))

Woodstock I wouldn't sweat a 0.1 gain. Could just be an error on your scale. I always find it super hard when I'm eating out though, because you never know how many calories the food has. The MFP values are more guesstimations -- I don't rely on it too much. I hope the dumplings were yummy though!

Jacqui_D it's prett awesome you have those weight-loss stats! This is my first month tracking Progress daily, and I already find it super interesting to evaluate it. Thanks for sharing yours :) And also thanks for writing personal encouraging Messages every day! Means a lot.

Suds14 you'll see the 176 soon! I'm bouncing around that number right now aswell. We can do it! Also, roasted beets Sound super delicious. I never had that before, but now I totally want to try!

DaisyBelle it's going down! Wootwoot!

Minneey mmh Chinese! If you want to eat it, you should! Hope you enjoy it :)

Tuscany you'll see the woosh fairy! And also, thank you for being so supportive :)

Rhiko every loss, no matter how small, is a win!

Yay, I wrote personals! Everybody have a great day. And a good weekend :)

It'd be nice if we always did what we know we should--stay on plan, exercise every day--but we're fallible and saying so keeps us accountable, so I'm proud of you! And great job running! :cp:

Rhiko, slow loss can be frustrating :snail:, but you're losing and that's great news! Hang in there! I'm sure you have a whoosh coming soon!

Tuscany, yay on the half pound dropping off quickly! Now let's hope the whoosh fairy comes around! :wizard:

Minneey, I agree with you: This is an amazing site! Enjoy your Chinese food. Just watch your portions and drink lots of water! :T

DaisyBelle, congrats on the 2.6 lbs lost! Keep going! :flow2::

Suds, hang in there! I know you will! You have a great attitude! :sunny:

Turtle, I'm wishing the whoosh fairy for you too! 159! 159! 159! :yes:

Jacqui_D Way to go on your low!!!! Also, i think the analysis you did of the weekly max and min's is a great metric! Good info to have!

Tuscany Thanks for the woosh prediction on my part - you were right on the money. I am predicting that yours is imminent!

Minneey I hear you regarding the Chinese food tonight! I'm sure you will choose well. Try the trick i learned this week to eat some fruit before going out to eat - It helped me control my appetite and enjoy a small amount of the good stuff!

I have two Thanksgiving dinners (1 Saturday and 1 Sunday) to get through this long weekend but am also planning my gym time and running time to minimize any regressing!

Tuscany 10-11-2013 08:50 PM

Jacqui: Good job getting to a new low AND for getting to over 25 lbs in total losses!

Joy: Yeah…but that was just the baby whoosh fairy. The baby needs extra practice, so she needs to visit a few times in a row! :)

Woodstock: Yippee…the 140’s…I’m so happy for you! All of your exercise and hard work is paying off! :woohoo:

183StGB: I’m glad you’re able to go back to running so soon after having your wisdom teeth removed…and thanks for your kind words!

Big Fat Rooster 10-11-2013 10:07 PM

Jaqui, I loved your weigh in comparisons :p

I have always been apprehensive about daily weights because of the "little" variances, which are not always little at all :devil: Funny how I can practically starve myself and the next day show good sized weight gain, :?: and like you and others have mentioned many times, having a "cheat" or slight binge day, expect a big gain the next day but instead are greeted with a good sized loss :o
Makes us wonder.

I started doing the daily weigh in's on Sum's daily weigh in challenge just for the heck of it and having fun with it. ;) My starting weight for this month was 248, and I hit that again day after the following weeks weigh in of 246, hitting 248 again the very next day. :dizzy:

I have hit a high during these 11 days of 256, which is up 2 lbs from my start weight of 248, and this morning my weigh in on the daily weigh in was a startling low of 240. :o This evening it is up to 246 again, but I expected that as I always weigh about 6 lbs heavier later in the day. I have three days to go for the weigh in on this challenge.......... Wonder if it will go down further or go back up?? :?: LOL any guesses??

B F R

PS ALL of you are doing great :D And thanks again for that double method Jacqui, I am going to try to use some form of it myself, hope I don't complicate it too much for me to understand it :cool:

SouthernBell02 10-12-2013 03:13 AM

Down .8 pounds this week. Not much but Ill take it. I now am at 233.9. This last few months I have been noticing a trend. One week I will have a minimal loss/gain and then the next week I will have a huge whoosh. Has anyone seen this before. Im sure I am not the only one that this has happened to. I also now am no longer morbidly obese. I am just obese;)

Jacqui Awesome numbers!!! You are doing sooooo well!!

Turtle The whoosh fairy should be there soon. I sent her your way after she came to me last week. Hang in there!!

Turtle11 10-12-2013 08:19 AM

Thanks everyone for sending the whoosh fairy my way. She seems to have visited, I hope she'll stick around for another day!

Hi you guys,
I'm totally lacking self control at the moment, I'm constantly hungry. Although I think I simply enjoy the chewing motion.

Highlight of my year!! It's so easy to get me excited, haha.

Have a great day everyone!

I was down half a lb today to an even 185! Only 2 more lbs to hit goal this month! :carrot: Of course, today is cheat day, so those lbs will have to wait just a bit, lol! :D

Amanda, congrats on moving out of the morbidly obese category!!! :yay: :carrot: :cp: :broc: :flow2: :cheers: :dancer: What a milestone! :woohoo:

Minneey, don't be discouraged. Look at your overall numbers! Maybe a weekend spurge is working for you! :yes:

BFR, I'm so glad you like my method of keeping track and I hope if you use it or a modified version of it, it serves you well! Congrats on the 240!!! :bravo: Oh, but you shouldn't weigh yourself at night, lol! We always weigh more at night. In fact, have you seen this thread's article? http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/weig...st-reason.html We really do lose weight overnight, which is why we weigh less in the morning!

Turtle, I'm so glad the whoosh fairy is paying attention! 159! 159! 159! :cheer:

Yay, Joy, maintenance is good! Although, c'mon whoosh fairy! We need a 76! :wizard:

Tuscany, you are always on fire :flame: and your weight loss progress never ceases to amaze me! You are an inspiration!

183, I get excited by giant pumpkins too, lol! My town has been holding an annual pumpkin festival for over 100 years, so needless to say everyone here loves pumpkins. Our festival begins on Tuesday, so you can bet I'll be walking downtown to see the giant pumpkins, and on my cheat day next Saturday, I'll be having wonderfully yummy pumpkin delights! :T

Sum, Dear Sum's scale, stay down! I know she works out way too hard for you to jump upward like you do! :shrug:

Woodstock, woohoo! A fabulous new decade!!! Congrats! :yay:

Big Fat Rooster 10-12-2013 09:06 PM

Jacqui, I do my weigh'ins first thing of a morning, but just tossed that evening weight in to show the 4 lbs up thing. But alas, I only lost one lb of it last night :mad:

I did not click onto that site about losing a lb at night, I am sure the reason is expiration of liquid in the breath. For the main part. But I often lose about 4 lbs getting up to go....... :dizzy: to "that" place :cool:

Keep it up gal :D

183StGB: Whenever I feel hungry and it’s not mealtime, I try drinking water, which often curbs my appetite. Also, if you think you just like the chewing motion, what about sugar-free gum?

Tuscany yeah, chewing gum helps a lot :) I go through a lot of gum usually, but can't right now due to the wisdom teeth Thing. Although, if I already disregard the Dr.'s advice about not running, I should totally do the same with gum :)

It's a really nice, sunny fall day over here. I came down with a cold today, unfortunately, but I guess I will still go for a Little walk in the afternoon. Or enjoy Europe's Biggest Pumpkin on TV :P
take care everyone!

I'm on antibiotics due to a UTI so needless to say I haven't been feeling well. I made it down to 143.2 lbs a couple of days ago but that didn't stick.
I'm gonna try my hardest to eat healthily tomorrow and maybe even work out. We're about halfway through the month so I definitely got time to make it to 140 lbs and then focus on getting into the 130s. I'm probably at 145 lbs right now.

CONGRATS to everyone who is doing so well!

Minneey 10-13-2013 05:24 PM

Southernbell - wowsa! thats completely amazing. are you going to set a new goal for the rest of the month?

Sum - you're doing so well this month. That goal is already in sight! Seems like your plan is really working for you!

Turtle - hello 150's! Wooohoooo!

Jacqui - weighed in today, clearly these weekend binges are working as I'm a lb down. Very puzzling but also big relief.

Woodstock - well done for hitting the 140s! Those workouts are paying off. How did you get on with those dinners?

Keep up the good work guys - I always lose motivation in the second half of the month. Must stay on track.... Must stay on track...

I see that people that some people are making progress this month while others are locked in a head-to-head battle with their weight, just like me! Keep it up ladies and gentleman, we are doing great :)


Well, I'm back up to 65.1 and the scales are still teasing me with 64.7. I swear it almost settled on the lower number, but then jumped back up in the last second before my official weight flashed on the screen. What a pain lol

The reason it went up is because I had a b'day party to attend over the weekend and we played a murder mystery game. Our food was to die for :lol: Anyway, after the main course I was super full and then I had a bit too much dessert. Too busy working my characters blackmailing ways to take the time to measure my food. And yes, my character was the victim!
It was fun though! I'll probably go out running today and get rid of some of that weight, but I do believe my TOM tummy/weight is coming :yikes:

Tuscany 10-13-2013 09:45 PM

This morning, the scales jumped back up to 143.0, even though I was on plan yesterday and have been all week. Not happy! :tantrum:

I imagine tomorrow they may jump up again, since this weekend is our (Canadian) Thanksgiving and today I went to my parents’ house for dinner and ate turkey. No doubt I will pay dearly for that. Oh well, it was yummy turkey! :D

I visited the doctor on Friday, and they measured me... soooo didn't want that, because I somehow knew I wasn't 5'6 anymore. And I must have shrunk. I am in between 5'5 and 5'5.5 now. (I'm going with 5'5.5) But now my mini goals are wrong, and normal BMI is 152 instead of 154. Oh well, I guess its only two lbs, and I wasn't getting there until November anyway.


So I've been REALLY bad a personals this month. Shame on me

Tuscany - I'm sure you'll get a whoosh soon. It must be water weight from the turkey and you'll be back to your consistant .5 lb loss per hour :)

Jacqui - You're doing so amazing. Only two lbs left for the month. If I get stuck again I'm going to try the low carb thing, you have such great success on it.

Woodstock - congrats on seeing that 149, I know it'll be back around soon. I definately retain water after I start a new workout routine.

Southern - I seem to only lose in whooshes and maintain the rest of the time. I don't know if it is hormones... but I really only lose for about 6-8 days a month. Those days are great, but it can get discouraging the other 22 days of the month. Congrats on meeting GOAL!!!

Minneey - I made some apple crumble too the other day. It's so yummy and SOO fall, its hard not to make fun apple and pumpkin dishes this time of the year. Your dropping lbs like crazy!

183 - hope you feel better soon!

Sum - You are already so close to goal for the month and the 140s!!

Joy - my body got fixated on 165 for forever. Come on 76!!

Hoopty - sorry about the UTI, I'm sure once that completely clears up your body will go back down.

Rhiko - I hope it settles on the 64.7 today :) That murder mystery sounds really cool. I've always wanted to try one of those.

Well, I'm back up to 186. I guess my cheat day weight just decided to show up! Actually, I didn't drink enough water yesterday. I'll have to rectify that today. :yes:

Hoopty, UTI's are evil! I hope you feel better soon! :hug:

Minneey, congrats on being another lb down! :dancer:

Rhiko, your murder mystery dinner sounded like so much fun. I'm glad you had a great time! :mag:

Tuscany, my scale is misbehaving too. I think they may need a talking to! :club:

183, yay on the big drop! :dance:

Sum, woohoo on the new low! :yay:

Turtle, ugh, that's why I'm afraid of being measured again. I don't want to shrink! I've always had a swayed back (as can be seen in my 2nd photo in this thread: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...ore-march.html). If my spine were straighter, no doubt Id be an inch taller! I don't want to find out I may be even shorter! :eek: By the way, do they measure with your shoes on or off?

Emme 10-14-2013 09:53 AM

Good morning, all! Argh, these past few weeks have really been a struggle for me. We are in the process of moving and I've let calorie counting slide big time because I'm focused and distracted on other things.

I'm not drinking enough water (I was sick for a week, still came to work, and pounded coffee and pop for days to stay awake), and I'm not exercising a lot. I'm not going to weigh myself until October 31st because I'm sure I've done some damage.

I am going to go for a run tonight, paint some bedrooms tomorrow, and focus more on my eating and calories.

I hope everyone is doing GREAT!

Turtle, you're getting seriously close to your next mini goal !

Well, feeling a bit 'humph' as I seem to have reached a standstill at 142 over the last week. Going to wait patiently for a whoosh...

Yesterday’s turkey dinner resulted in another ½ lb gain, so I’m now all the way back to where I started at the beginning of October, even though my only cheat was yesterday’s turkey dinner. Hopefully, the back half of the month will be better than the front half.

Turtle: You’re still in the 150’s…wonderful!! When I began my diet, I measured myself (height) for the first time in about 40 years. When I was in high school, I was 5’ 7”. I’m now 5’ 5”. So, I know how you feel!

Jacqui: Never mind a talking to…if my scale doesn’t smarten up real soon, it’s going to get a beating.

Joy: You and I seem to be stuck!

Minneey: I feel your frustration and I hope your whoosh comes soon.

183StGB: Congrats on another loss…it looks like you’re down around 5 lbs for the month so far…good work!

Emme: I hope you’re able to find some time to focus on your diet and exercise. Good luck with your move!

Sum: Nice loss…you’ll be in the 140’s soon!

yesterday's calories: 1800
yesterday's exercise: --
today's weigh-in: 80.6kg (177.6lbs)
change: +1.0kg (+2.1lbs)

good morning everyone,
I'm still sick :( boohoo ;)
also, I'm pretty sure my scale is messed up, because I still have those 2lbs fluctuations, even though the scale is on Level ground and I put in new batteries. I'm crosschecking with my parents' manual one, and it shows a downward trend so I'm fine with it.

have a good day!
