You're only supposed to lose 1-2 pounds a week so that is great! Congrats on the weight loss! Keep up the good work!

I am proud to say I drank 72 ounces of water today. This is the first time I have drank the amount of water I need to- and more- since I started my diet....Yay!!

My weigh-in today: 166.5. I dunno what the heck is going on because I was 160 a few days ago. Ugh I hate the scale!

That can really easily be water weight. Until you're drinking water regularly and keeping yourself hydrated, you could easily 'soak up' and hold 3 or 4 pounds of water. (4 lbs. of water is a half-gallon.) Keep up on the water so your body has a chance to level out- then I think you'll see your scale level out as well (at least that has been my experience).

I know the pinging around is frustrating! Don't get downhearted about it! Chin-up and all that. If you're eating well, exercising, drinking water and treating your body right you will lose weight in time. (Just maybe not as fast as you'd like to!)

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I really hope it's just water weight!!

I weighed today and was very swollen from the heat, but regardless, I am down 6 pounds this week!!

I am also starting the gazelle for exercise this week!

WOOOHOOOO.....Hubby finally joined in on the weighloss wagon!!!!

Of course he went fighting and screaming......and a few bites in between!!!!

Doubt that he will want to loose 50 by Christmas.....he actually doesn't have that much to loose...... men and their metabolism don't get me started!!!!

If its okay with everyone, I know that he isn't a mommy but can I post Daddy's weight on Fri. as well?????

Keep up the great work everyone!!!!!

hi all,

i'm new to this site. I have a 7 month old son (just turned 7 months today) so i want desperatly to loose weight before the holidays. so i figure i join in on this with you all.
how do you get the weight goal things? thanks all.

Good Morning Everyone-
Sorry about not posting on Friday but I have been so busy. I lost another 1 lb. It's not much but it is better than nothing. I am hoping this week will be a little better not that I have started to do more excersing. I did TA-BOE last night and I am feeling it today. I hope everyone has a good week. Talk to you all soon!!!

well i figured how to personlize my signature. can't post any weight loss since i just started. and my DH is helping me out and going to loose a few pounds himself. he gained a few during my pregancy.

Hey everyone,

Just thought I'd check in and see how everyone was doing. I also needed encouragement to stay on track (this is where the accountability is helpful ). Kids started school this week so I'm trying not to slip back into old habits.

Brag is that I'm doing much better at reading labels and paying attention to calorie content. I'm also doing much better on my water. I'm now realizing how THIRSTY I actually get when I don't drink it. Sag is that meals are becoming a problem. Hubby is fit and VERY active and needs 3800 calories I, on the other hand, don't need nearly that much. I'm having trouble coming up w/ meals to fit both our needs. Any thoughts? Salad w/ extra protein and veggies is getting old (according to him!!) HELP!!!

AmySue, I think it's WONDERFUL your hubby is on board! If you can get him to weigh in on Fri's, I think it would be great. I really think the "healthy" movement works much better as a family!!!

Hi everyone. I know what you are going through txmedcalf. My husband is the same way. This is what I did last night for him and the kids. I made them Sloppy Joes and I knew that was way out of the question for me so after I browned the lean ground beef, I removed 3 oz. for me and then made the rest of the receipe for them. I in turn then made my salad adding in the removed ground beef. It worked great and I didn't feel like I was making two different meals. The onions and green pepper had to go into both meals anyway and while everything was simmering, I finished my salad with romaine lettuce, tomato, little cheese, cucumbers, broccoli and fat-free dressing. As it turned out, my husband and daughter thought the salad looked really good and wanted some for themselves and I didn't feel like I was missing out. My HUGE salad was only 8 ww points and dh and kids got to have their fun dinner.

Good Friday Morning Weigh In to all of our Losers!!!!

Weigh in for me: I LOST ANOTHER 3 lbs!!!!!


Brag: My business is taking off more than what I could have imagined it too. Just yesturday my sales totaled $70 and I even ran out of my car air fresheners!!! Not a good thing but that means that I am getting my name out there!

Sag: I did excerise at all this past week because I was extremely busy. School started here again so with a 2 yr old who normally goes with daddy out to the farm since daddy went back to school, means mommy has less time for exercise. But on more of the Brag side I still lost 3 lbs!!!!!!


How is everyone else doing???

Good Morning everyone. TGIF

I lost 5 pounds this week. 170! WOOO HOOO


Brag: I started babysitting this week and it really helps me keep moving and staying off the couch. I am a true couch potato. I have to walk 3 blocks, 4 times a day, every day to take the kids to school at different times. I also got my first paycheck!

Sag: WW bumped me down 2 pts.

Gool Luck to everyone and Happy Friday.

AmySue.....way to go!!!

Michelle, nice to have you. Here we do a weekly weigh in, on Fridays. Other than that, post whatever and whenever you feel you need to!!!

My weigh in for this week is the same as last week, I'm at 172. I'm approaching that TOM and I've been gaining muscle w/ the strength training. Hopefully I'll be down a little next week! Even if I'm not, I'm definitely seeing a difference in my overall shape and tone!

Ok, I've got the kids home from school, so I'd better run!!!! Hope to see more weigh-ins!!
