Doesn't it seem like this comes around awfully fast!
I'm not ready to face the scales. Shame on me!
Linda (Loodie) weighed in early since she's off on vacation. Lucky!!
I have a funny feeling. Since we took our vacation to the Caymans, I won't have one this summer. Everyone is looking forward to theirs and I just have work, work, work.

Have a great weigh in.
Tina

Boy does Thursday come fast! You ain't kiddin'! I'm not ready either. I'm going to do a full body workout class tonight and a killer abs class as well. I hope it helps to burn off the Lollipops I had between yesterday and today!
I'm going to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in August, not to rub it in or anything
I tried on my bathing suit this morning and it is looking much better than when I bought it 2 weeks ago, that's a plus! According to my WW leader, I have lost 25 sticks of butter! That's a lot when you think about it.
Well, hopefully she'll tell me I have lost 33 +, tomorrow when I go weigh in!
I hope you all lose a lot of sticks of butter too!

Good luck tomorrow! I hope we are all losers!

Evening,
Christa, I am jealous of your trip. Put me in your suitcase, please!
I looked at your profile---tell me exactly what you do, please. It sounds interesting.

Good luck everyone.

Well, I am so frustrated. I have been struggling with the same lbs for the last 2 months! Since I have started working out (about a month ago), I have actually gained weight! Argh! However, just looking at myself, I can tell that I have lost inches. My stomach is getting flatter, and my legs and arms are getting more solid. Even my bras are fitting better *grin* (I am not popping out of them anymore). I actually think I might be comfortable wearing a bikini!? I just wish I had something in the beginning that I could have measured myself with to actually figure out the inches that I have lost (which I hopefully have lost some!) I figure if I just stick with it, the pounds will eventually just start coming off. I have been trying to do 30 minutes of cardio at least 4 times a week, and lifting/toning at least 3 times a week. At least I have doing a little better at keeping my eating under control and staying in my point range.

However, this weekend is going to be a toughie. It is my birthday on Sunday and I am going out with the girls Friday night for Italian and then out dancing (that will burn some calories). Then Saturday night, my boyfriend is taking me out to dinner, and then I am going out with all of my friends. And then Sunday for my actual birthday... who knows!?

Well, at least I am down a pound this week, but still up 2.5 from a couple of weeks ago. Dang nabit! I hope everyone else is doing a lot better than me. Good luck to everyone today!

I don't get it. This is the second time that after going out to eat during the week and blowing it I dropped 3 lbs. ???? I'm not complaining mind you. On Mothers Day we at out at a chinese buffet and I kind of blew it. I'm sure I did. But low and behold, I lost 3. Is it that I am cutting out too much fat and when I get more I lose???
I am thinking that is part of it but I'm not sure. Any ideas? Anyways, hope the scales are good to everyone this week. Have a good week end......Sis

Congrats, Sis & Jules & everyone else who lost!

As for me, I was totally OP all week. Stayed within my points each and every day (between the middle and high end of the range), drank my water, did some exercise (not a lot, mind you, but a bit more than usual), even ate 3-7 servings of fruits and veggies every day. My reward? A 1.4 pound gain on the scales today! Gosh doesn't that make ya motivated

Now, I weighed myself at home this morning (and don't start yelling at me not to weigh at home -- it's just something I have to do for myself), and was down more than 2 pounds from last week's home weigh-in. So how is there now a 6 pound difference between my scale at home and the one at WW? To top it off, the snippy lady that weighed me (not our leader, who I like, but some little old biddy helper I'd never seen before) looked at me like I was lying when I told her that just wasn't possible, since I had been OP all week.

I was at least a little proud of myself. After weighing in my first instinct was that if I'm going to gain weight, I might as well just eat whatever the heck I want (which at that moment was an italian beef and cheese fries!). But I knew I'd kick myself if I did that, so I settled for 2 2-point chicken tacos and some black beans. They were actually quite good.

Here's sincerely hoping that all of you fare much better!!!

After being up a couple pounds on the scales yesterday, I didn't bother to get weighed today. I know I haven't been doing a very good job staying on any kind of program! Unless it is one that involves seeing how much food I can stuff in my mouth. I have been awful lately! Not sure what I plan to do about it.

Congrats to those that lost pounds OR inches!

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday.

Congrats Sis and Jules on your losses this week.

Hang in there Laura, if you were OP all week, you should see a loss next week on the scales. I always seem to see my losses a week later, and the weeks im not OP show up a week later too. As for the lady that weighed you in...she should have been more encouraging. You should have asked for someone else to re-weigh you if you felt it was off. I have done that before, and have showed a loss at times. You did great on your eating afterwards though!! As for your scales being so different....i dont know. Digital ones seem to weigh me a different weight if I move em around which I do if I dont like what it says.

As for my W/I today, I didnt even think about it being Thurs so never weighed in. But Im sure I didnt loose this round. I did write down my food for 2 days, then forgot to on Wed/Thur. But 2 days is better then none right?

Have a great week everyone! Do your best.
Dee

Hello and Congratulations to those of you who stayed on plan and also to those of you who saw some losses.

I have to say, I was pretty much OP although I didn't journal 2 of the days (weekend of course). I did see a slight decrease in my weight at the scale. DOWN 1.9! WOOHOO~ That's the least I have lost since starting, but I can't complain because I'm down, right?

I was told by a member (male) that I seem so happy. I am happy, I'm finally losing weight instead of gaining. And then he told me I'm going to be a beautiful red-head. (Do I take that as a compliment? Am I not a beautiful red-head now? I have to be thin to be beautiful?) Then he corrected himself and said that I am a beautiful red-head now. I relied with "Thank you" and a smile and walked away. I really felt like saying "Open mouth, insert foot". AAAhhh oh well, my husband knows I'm beautiful, I know I'm beautiful and that's all that matters.


I am at work right now and wish I had more time to help motivate. I will tonight when I get home, and Tina I will answer your question about what I do. It is pretty interesting.

Greetings All---I'm so happy
Yep, I've finished work for the weekend. Yea....

Congratulations to everyone= - those who lost pounds and those who lost inches and those who are courageous enough to hang in there when the scales won't budge.

Tammy, you sound down. don't be. You've had trouble with the scales before and they gave in to losses. You wondered what plan you're on-----the healthy on & the one where one week of giving in to desires doesn't mean it's all over or hopeless. Where's the cheerleader of this group? You can do it.

Jules, I think you might be exercising too much and building muscle weight.

Christa, you were wise to just say "Thank you." Some people are really jerks and best to get rid of than to argue with.

Laura, I agree with Dee. You can have someone else re-weigh you. There's nothing that says you can't.

Sis, wow, dropping 3 lbs. is great!

Anyone else want to talk?????

Tina
