Default Everyone weigh in 9/05/08

It's time again for the 3FC general weigh in thread. Everyone is welcome to join, just jump in whenever your official weigh in day rolls around. Good luck, everyone!

Me: 184, same as last week. Rather than talk about my weight this week, I'd rather say something a bit more personal. Some of you might have seen the pics page of my webpage. In some of these, there is an orange and white cat named Albondigas. He wasn't doing well. He had numerous infections requiring several vet trips, but they weren't doing much good. He was sleeping all the time, losing weight, and walking as if he were in pain. On the last vet trip, they did the test for feline HIV, and he was positive. He wasn't going have any more good days. The right choice is not always a good choice.

Albondigas, you were a very good and dear friend to me for the past 12 years. You were loved, and you will be missed.

First, I'm sorry to hear about your cat. Feline HIV is a devastating illness. I hope your heart is on the mend.

As for the thread topic, this week I lost 2.6 lbs and am down to 152.4. I am at around the halfway point.

So sorry to hear about your cat. And you're right, the right choice isn't always a good choice. :[

I'm at 233 today, so I'm going to be extra good this weekend (no drinking!) for my official weigh in Sunday.

I'm down a pound and a half. I started lifting weights this week so I was afraid I'd gain because of muscle. I feel myself going from flab to fab.

I lost about 2 pounds this week.

To WriteMom if you do gain a little on the scale due to turning fat into muscle try to ride it out. The muscle will ultimately help you burn your calories more efficiently and in time that is really the best thing.

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas I was very lax about working out and lost 10 pounds off the scale. I knew it was bad weight loss and when I went back into the gym I gained that bad 10 pounds right back.

I have made a lot of progress since then and am encouraged by the new bod and the numbers on the scale.

I weighed in at 388.8 pounds this morning which is .6 less than last weeks 389.4, but I had a terrible week of not eating good foods and had some cake (there was a birthday) so I expect next week to be much better it is what it is and I know why it was low no worries

Tealeaf, I'm so sorry about your cat. It's hard to make those decisions, my heart goes out to you.
I love looking at your site, I get such a kick out of it.
I'm down one pound this week.

Tealeaf - I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. We had to put down our sweet Mina cat in 2005. It's such a hard thing to do.

I weighed in this morning at 202. That is down 2 lbs!

Thanks for the sympathy, everyone. I know having to do this is part of the deal of having a cat. It was very obvious that he was very sick and in alot of pain. I just hated doing it.
