Let the frustration of the up 2, down 2 get the best of me, and now I'm back to where I was in March. Good news is that I've stabilized, and am determined to stay on track through the holidays.

Bumping this thread for myself. Went back through last year's notebook and updated my weights. Haven't weighed in since before Thanksgiving. Back on plan since 1/1. Perhaps this time I will learn that staying away fom weighing in and 3fc never has good results?

Ooooh... Valentine's Day Challenge! Hi Natamars. :) New Year here. I more or less maintained last year but am looking to kick this goal's butt in 2011. Little over a month to V Day? I'll aim for 8 pounds.

1/8/11: 231

Hey, Arabella- isn't it great we're both still here, fighting?

I'm still here too, Natamars, and still losing the same 7 pounds or so over and over. Was shocked to look at this time last year and see I'm just about the same.

Tomorrow's my sort of official weigh in so I'll post then. Was at 199.2 this a.m.

Same goal as last year (unfortunately) to be in the 100's all the time and then to be in the 100s on the doctor's scale. ;)

Okay, forgot to post yesterday (it was 200.4) so I'll change my posting day to Tuesday.

Hey, anagram, good to see you! We're NOT giving up in 2011!!!

Ok if new people join in?

211.8 this morning. 6 pounds lost. woo! :carrot:

1/7: 141
1/14: 140.2

Was hoping for a bigger loss based on my weigh-ins earlier in the week. Oh, well - hoping for 2 lbs. next week.

arabella, 2 lbs. - nice!

lost, how long did it take you to lose 6? that is awesome!

staci, absolutely - welcome!

anagram - hope you have a great week!

Hello everyone!! I just started out (doing WW online) so here is mine so far.


Starting weight 1/4/11: 237.8

1/11/11: 231.0

I try to only weigh myself on Tuesday of each week, if I do it more often I drive myself crazy!

Not real happy with this weigh in! I did everything right, even working out 3 times this week! Hoping next week will be better.

1/21: 139.2

Even though I said I was hoping for 2 lbs., my weight's been up around 141 most of the week, so I am THRILLED to be under 140!

Hey, anagram, great loss!

staci, the second week is usually tough as your body starts to adjust - it's great that you had a loss!

For the first time since the beginning nothing have changed still 136 but my trainer changed my program and I guess my body needs to adapt, it is ok with me.

Have been as high as 203 and as low as 197 this week. Love these yoyos ;)

You ladies are doing fabulously.

1/25/11: 230.6

Really starting to get irritated at this point. The last 2 times I started WW I dropped aprox. 12 lbs in the first month and 3 weeks in and I'm gaining??? So frustrated!

My goal is under 135 by V-Day - will be tough.

anagram, good for you for weighing in after a binge! I'm sure that number will come right .

staci, great weigh-in!!!

arabella, 10K steps a day is fantastic! How do you get that much in?

I need accountability. May I join?

2/1/11= 204

Looking to join

Welcome Gwen & Babsie -

And such wonderful losses - 10, 5, 3 lbs. Wow. I am back at 197.4 today. Must just stop sabotaging myself. Those "ups" are hard to take.

Arabella, those 10k steps seem like such a wonderful accomplishment.

Welcome babs and Gwen!:)

Wish I could say it was hard work that got my loss this week but it wasn't. Had the stomach flu at the begining of the week and an infected tooth the rest of the week. I'll take it either way!! Just need to make sure I work hard to keep that off this week, finally back on plan and feeling good enough to get back into my workouts.

Doubt I'll make my 195 by V day but will keep trying.

:wave: Hi weigh in friends! I went back up to 205 last week and today the scale says "203"! I read other posts and found one that stated we retain water in our muscles when we work out hard. (or maybe it was the Julian Michaels video?) Well, I DID add weights to my cardio last week and worked as hard as I could. Possibly that was what the gain had been? It's gone now, so I'm SOOOOO glad I didn't cave in to the old "...this isn't working, I'm such a loser, I'll never be able to take it off.. etc. etc.. lets just have a big fat BINGE :s:."

I ordered the "Body for Life for Women" book from Amazon and LOVE IT. It explains our bodies at different stages in life, and why it's so easy to gain and hold onto weight. So far I've learned to have positive goals, how to set my personal Challenge, and to do as much for myself as I do for others. Can't wait to read on!

Kind of depressing - looks like I need to keep my calories really low to maintain a lb/week loss. I averaged 1600 this week - previous weeks it was closer to 1300. I've added running and spinning once a week each to try to shake things up, but it hasn't been enough. Will drop my calories back down for next week and focus a bit more on protein - egg whites instead of oatmeal, grilled chicken salad instead of ww pasta.

anagram, good luck w/ your goal! I know I won't meet my V-Day goal but I'll hang in there with you!

staci, hope you're feeling better.

arabella, you're doing great!

2/8/11 203
2/11/11 201 Onderland here I come! :D

My Challenge is to:

Eat more healthy every day until I am totally healthy in my eating habits.

Follow the BFL plan as well as I can - improving each week.

Pass up sugar and starches to the best of my ability - I will think about how many times I've caved in and regretted it.

Exercise 6 days a week - weights at least 4 x's and cardio 6 days - I will PUSH myself each time, unless I'm injured (then I'll take it easy but still work out!)


Arabella - :carrot: maintaining for a year is GREAT. That is an accomplishment to be proud of. Now that your metabolism has reset itself you can lose successfully again.

Natamars - Congrats on getting back on plan this year. :D About the gain - Are you lifting weights? And, you are right... along with total calories, keep track of the composition of them. That should do it!!

Anagram - You can do it! Way to go - 2 lbs gone!!! :cheer3: I'll bet the slight increase was from working out with weights, or a bit too much salt?

LA - Congrats on the 6 pounds!!:cheer:

Staci - if you are working out with weights your muscles will hold water... but, in a few days that and some fat will leave, and you will be lighter AND stronger. :dust:

I've been battling the same weight for years. It's time for weekly weigh-ins and at the very least maintaining any losses (no matter what life throws my way.) We only get one body - we need to treat it right!:hug:

I was in a few V-Day challenges so today become sort of an official weigh-in.

Gwen, I am doing some lifting but not enough. I usually do a body sculpting class on Monday and last week I was in pain until Thursday from it, so I could only do cardio the rest of the week. Trying to come up with a schedule that works with a better balance of cardio and weight training. I will see you in onederland next week!

Congratulations, natamars - good, consistent loss stays.

Gwen, it was the salt - happens everytime I eat out as I use little (none?) at home. I do very little working out, sorry to say.

Arabella - 4 lbs is great.

Up 4. Where is the crying, stomping, screaming smilie??? I refused to weigh yesterday because I had eaten a few(so probably a dozen) valentine cookies. But, seriously - FOUR POUNDS???? :tantrum: (found it)


Sodium? 1/2 a can of soup, 1/2 bag of uncle bens grain medley, cup of instant oatmeal, chicken sandwich from Hardees (no sauce) I need to look at the labels and check for sodium. do sugar cookies have sodium?

I worked out really hard, my arms are still hurting. But, still, FOUR POUNDS???

2/15/11: 225.6 - I was expecting a gain, I didn't get my workouts in last week. Back on track this week though!

Gwen, I'm guessing carbs are your villain there. They sure do it to me and if I have more than usual, it often takes a few days to get back to square one. Bet the pounds disappear in a day or two. But the bonus -- you found that handy crying, screaming, stomping smiley. ;) We all need that one from time to time.
