I keep signing up for these. One of these days I'm going to succeed!

Alrighty! Added my name to the spreadsheet.

As Joe from Family Guy would say: LET'S DO THIS! ALRIIIIGHT!!

This can be it!!! The time it works!!! =) What works for me is focusing on 2 or 3 days at a time... and then when I see 3 days of success, it fuels my motivation to keep up the good work!

Cheyanne!! You have BEAUTIFUL NAME =) I also was a nursing weight gainer!!! Although my youngest is 6... that's a thing of the past. I only have oreo cookies to blame now!!! Glad you're here!

Thanks so much!!! Last time I just got to depressed that I wasn't losing, that I just gave up! This time I have a new motivation. School is out, so I'm home from work for the summer and focused! I'm glad you're back for round 2 =)


Someone recently said to me... If you take a step in the right direction.. the rest of you will have no choice of you but to follow!

I just added my name. I just returned to WW two weeks ago, so this spreadsheet will be a big help, accountability-wise. I'm going to my sisters for 10 days soon, and knowing I have to post here will help. Thanks! Alice

If you want the -N- column "Current Pounds Lost" to calculate automatically, you'll want to make sure the the -B- column has your starting weight EVEN if you add your name after Jun 23 (which I renamed starting weight to make it more clear ) --- I hope that makes sense!!

And on a different note... Any plans for the 4th??? BBQs? perhaps!!! any tips or tricks that you use to prevent over eating at potluck style gatherings or places that seem to have tables of munchies out all day to promote that constant grazing that sneaks in and kills your motivation and sense of self control? =)

Thanks for the clarification on the weight calculation.

I am in Canada so we had our celebration July 1st. It was easy to avoid any munchies for me, my husband took my girl's to the inlaws and I got to catch up on some chores and solitude. He works 60+ work weeks and I am at home with the girls, so a holiday for me was being able to do housework uninterrupted lol.

Knowing I am going to do a weigh in this Monday has helped me stay motivated, so big thanks Cheyenne for starting this up.

i AM IN! I have a question - starting weight is on June 1?

I also sent my husband and kids to celebrate the 4th. I stayed home (work overnight) and cached on some sleep. Plus got on treadmill and did 4 miles :)
Its hard to find time to excersize and eat normal meals while working full time overnight. Plus juggling kids daily evening activities in the evening.

PS. Since i work nights Monday morning is when i get home from work and eating at work and coming home is not the same for me as weighing yourself first thing in the morning after sleeping all night. :) Soo... I weigh myself on Saturday mornings because that is my second day off and i do sleep at night on Friday night. So since this group is weighing themselves on Mondays I will go ahead and keep doing my Saturday weighs and log it as if its Monday :)

I'm glad you're in! ... You totally don't have to weigh in on Monday. It's just a general guideline.. but it's gotta make sense for your life. Just put it on whatever date is closest to your weigh in date.

I'm going to be out of town and out of computer reach while camping next week... so I'll be weighing in on Sunday this week.. things are going good just so long as my salt in take from yesterday didn't make me retain too much water. Mostly yesterday was a veggie day .. so.. all is good.

My motivation is back!! I have a trip planned in early September to Finland, and I want to go there all skinny and fabulous. I have adjusted my goal a bit higher; I am hoping to lose 1 - 1 1/2 pounds per week. I was 142 pounds on July 1st, by September 4th I am hoping to be 129.8 :D I have not been that thin in years. That would make me a solid size 6 in clothing. Today I am 140, so in 5 days I have already lost 2 pounds.... I know a lot of it is water at first. But if I keep my eating in check and stick to my 5:2/high protein plan, I can do it!! Plus I exercise a lot; my goal is to keep exercising 2500-3000 minutes per month.

I grew up in Finland; and all my friends there are fit and trim. I felt awful last time I was there, I was 30 pounds heavier then. I felt like an elephant next to my skinny, minny friends. Even at 130 pounds I will still be bigger than them, but not obese.

What's your motivation this time around?

Thanks Cheyenne :hug: I like the saying ... too bad my signature has too many characters now or I would surely add that one also :) I like reminders of the small things we seem to forget when we fall off the wagon with one meal, why is it so easy to remember what helps??? things that make you go hummm :D I spent the day with all of my children the grown one and her hubby also. Ate what I didn't plan but had a ball, walked a ton and gained a pound :) but it will be gone on Monday and I'll be at my ticker weight or lower :crossed: because I have to beat my son ;)

Cheyanne, beautiful baby :)

unwanted, I'm going back to work soon but not at night this time. I wonder how long it will take me to get back into the swing of things. I worked third shift with 5 children at home and boy do I remember :dizzy: My hat is off to you :hug:

Sum as always I'm loving your happy sound :) You can and will do it, GO YOU :high:

I'm adding my Jun 7th weight and logging out until I return from camping!!! I plan on taking lots of walk and eating healthy while camping!! I hope I can come home to a nice scale surprise!! =)

Have fun Cheyenne :) see you when you get back :hug:

I'm starting a little late but I love tracking my progress. Keeps me accountable :)
