Sunday ~~Weigh In~~
 

Good morning Ladies! I am down one more to a 10 lb loss. YAY! I am pretty psyched about it. My first mini-goal gets a big "DONE" stamp on it and I move on to number two: Down to 190 by St. Patty's.That will be a challenge for me as it is a little more than 1 lba week... so we shall see.

Share your successes and set backs - these things will happen! :hug:

Good Morning, Daisy & Everyone,

Well, I'm down 4 lbs, but not a good loss. It will surely come back as soon as I can eat anything other than graham crackers and milk.

Still snowing here. Our aid can't get here. Donald had breakfast & is napping. As soon as he wakes up, maybe I'll try to move him with our new nifty electric lift. I haven't done it alone yet, but I think I can. Or, maybe I'll try to get him to stay in bed today.

Tomorrow is the end of week 4 of my 6-week course. Then, I don't teach again until my birthday - April 11. I love teaching this course, but I like having a month between courses. Gives me time to want to do it again.

Check back later.

Well I am down 2 of the three that I gained last week but still 1 lb away from where I was. I really did bad this past week so I am thinking that 3lb gain the other week was pure water or something. TOM KILLS me and now that it about gone I can hopefully do much better!

Hi Laurie,

Glad TOM is gone. I saw an ad on TV for some kind of pill that keeps TOM away. If you take this pill, TOM visits only 4 times/year. Did you see it? Next time I see it, I'll get the name.

Lynn

I think that's Seasonale or something like that. There are other brands of BC that you can use the same way... I'm looking into it!

Congrats to everyone on their losses!

I have been fending off a cold so I'm a little concerned about WI tomorrow. Dinner Friday was fabulous and, yes, I ate the whole steak but I didn't eat anything else and I had an apple, two pears and a small salad with vinaigrette for the whole day before I took on the beef feast... not the heathiest food journal entry but I didn't want to blow it completely!

Laurie I feel your pain! I am up 2# this week! UGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH:mad: I ended up going to that dinner party last night...ate really well...but WAY too much wine:nono: ( I wasn't driving) So I think that I am dehydrated...I feel crummy and to make matters worse we are covered in 15 inches of snow! No more wild nights for me for a while....I may try to drink a ton of water and re-weigh mid week to keep my spirits up. I had a lot of fun but I am not sure if it was worth 2# and a headache! All I am craving this am is carbs and grease...but I am sticking to it! What would really cure me would be.......:burger: :corn: :mcd: :mcd: :mcd: :corn: :chockiss: :burger: :cheese: :jeno: :jeno: :jeno: :cbg: :cbg: but....I will resist and drink and eat as OP as i can.

Well my GYN wants me to try skip the white section/sugar pills the next few months and only take them every 4 months so I will only have a period every 4 months because of the PMDD and migraines get so bad so we will see how that helps!

Yesterday I was down 1 pound to 129!!!! Yeah!!! HOWEVER, I went and pigged out on mexican last night. So.... I did not want to weigh myself today. I might do it tomorrow. I am changing my ticker though!!! hehehehe ;)

yay You!!!

Congrats Lynn, Anita, and Laurie! Weigh to go!!!:carrot:

Allie - been there, done that. :( Gentle :hug: for you today. Tomorow, get right back into it and FIGHT! ;)

I am down 2 lbs for the week. It was real nice to see 177 mid week, but that was 100% due to the stomach bug. I was very happy to see 179 this morning. :D So I am officially back to where I was 1 week into this! :dizzy:

I did lots of shoveling today, so hopefully I burned enough calories to counteract the lasagna I made for dinner. Had a salad with it and it was wonderful. Could have eaten more, didn't go overboard, so I am happy with that. I hope to have a really good week coming up. I don't why, but I just feel it! ;)

TTFN- Sharon

Good morning everyone!

Well, this week, I stayed the same. Although I know it's good to maintain, it's still disappointing. I think this is why I binged last night. I had chips and chocolates. I know, I know! 10 successful days of recommitment gone bad! I'm so frustrated at myself for allowing this. Back to Day 1 of recommitment again.

Congratulations Daisy, Anita, Lynn and Sharon! I hope you're feeling better, Lynn and Sharon.

Laurie, I know what you mean about TOM -- talk about a sabotager!!! I seem to pick up 5lb every time (and only drop 4 of them... grrrr). I *know* it's going to happen but it unsettles me every time (and I really think it's one reason I generally tend to end up throwing in the towel). It's sooooooo discouraging...

In any event, my official weigh-ins are Fridays, so I still have a few days to go. Last week's WI was down 2.25, (bringing my grand total since Jan 15 to 8.25 :carrot:), so I was pretty pleased!

Of course, I tend to rollercoast (up, down, up, down...), so I wouldn't be surprised if I go up a bit this Friday. I keep trying to remind myself that as long as the overall trend is down, everything's ok. Right? :)

And Flemay, don't beat yourself up over a few chips and chocolate. You won't do that *every* day, right? So, congratulate yourself on 10 days and get right back with it!

Lena :wave:

Well, I gained two pounds again -- actually, the same two I lost last week but had gained the week before. Stop this merry-go-round - I want to get off:dizzy: I haven't changed my tracker yet - just couldn't get myself to do it:mad: Oh well!!

Congrats on all who STS or lost weight this week:carrot: Keep up the good work.

Stay well and have a good OP week:grouphug:

One day does not a diet make or break. Just keep going - and don't think of it as day one all over again... Dont' throw the baby out with the bathwater. One mistake does NOT erase your previous efforts - quit beating yourself up!

I think everyone did well. I managed to maintain DESPITE my best efforts!!!

Mmmm... restaurants. No more!

I think you're right! I won't think about it as being back at Day 1 again. I'll think of it as a bump in the road on Day 11. I will eat well and exercise all week! The weight on that scale doesn't matter! It's the eating habits and exercise that do! So I'm picking myself up, and will continue to make my recomitment a success beyond the 21 days of setting good habits!

Sometimes, I have to remind myself, I'm not on a diet! It's a lifestyle!:cool:

Thank you all for the wake up call! Sometimes, I need people to remind me what this lifestyle is all about! :dizzy:

Laurie, I've been doing that with the birth control pills for 3 years now. I still get some mild PMS symptoms - mainly crankiness, but it's nice to only have 4 periods a year.
