Great job guys! Glad to see you're not giving up suite
I just bought a new scale yesterday and weighed myself this morning and it told me I've lost about 9 pounds since Boxing Day. Of course, I was thrilled with this, but the thing is, I can't actually "see" a difference on my body. I know measurements are the way to check, but I never took my original measurements (didn't have a measuring tape). Guess I'll just have to lose 9 more and maybe by then I'll notice a bigger change! It made me feel good, that's for sure, but I do wish it was a more noticeable change. I thought almost ten pounds would have made a big difference on the way I look because it's half of my 10% goal already gone! Hrm... I sure hope my scale isn't broken. It's brand new! It's a little discouraging, not to be able to see much of a change, but I won't give up until I do!
There's a thread around here somewhere about how much weight equals a change in size. You'll see that it's different for everyone, one person even had broken it down and each size drop was a different amount of weight. I thought that was interesting.
When I bought a new scale I weighed myself on the old one and then the new one the same day, just to see the difference. It was about 6 lbs! The one I have now is a WW and it's about 1 lb different than at the meeting.
Thanks kelijpa I did see that thread, about the difference in sizes for everyone. It was, indeed, quite interesting, especially since it really is so different for everyone. If my scale is going to be 6 lb off, since I don't go to the WW meetings, it is better for my ego if it is lower rather than higher, hehe. At least seeing some kind of positive change will keep me going.
Ah...my weigh-in Wednesday! Time to check the thread!
First off, welcome to the new faces (I'm new too -- let's hang in there, gals!) and congrats everybody who posted, loss or no this week: Jaelini, jdmsmommy, Paintfancy, caitbeans, THE Heather, Fressca, crbowles, suitejudyblueeyes, freedomreins, bojooki, kelijpa (hope I didn't miss anyone/butcher your names)!!! I firmly believe staying accountable will keep us all OP, and we'll reap the rewards in the long run!
As for me -- I'm pretty shocked: 178 today! That's down 3 from last week, and 8 overall for the three weeks... As many of you know, I had a fancy dinner this week, and I was SURE I'd pay at the scale today.
Now, I need to get posting so I can get my ticker back!!
WOOO Lizzie! 3lbs is AWESOME. You totally kick butt
I'm looking forward to my WI this week... Though we'll have to start up a Feb WI thread before then, so I won't be sharing any more news in this one...
I'm very late, but here I am! I weigh-in on Wednesdays now. I was at 190.2 the last two weeks, but yesterday I was at 188! I think that will give me the motivation I need to stay OP finally.
Kim - That's absolutely fantastic progress. Those first couple of weeks really set your hopes high, huh? But look at what a great start you've got, and 1.5 is a loss you can be proud of!
