Thursday Weigh In Thread for April
 

I can't believe it is April already!! I decided to get us started since I was down a pound on the scales this morning!!

Thanks for starting off the month, Tammy.
Good for you, losing a pound. :carrot:

Good luck to everyone this week.

:flow1:

Now hear this----tomorrow is Thursday---weigh-in day!!!!!

Let's all post our findings. :D

I agree!!! Where is everyone???

Where are all the "T's" and everone else?????

Chanty, did you have a good week?
Terry, Kitty, and all our new members, I hope to see a post here today. hint, hint, hint.....
Drum roll please.................. I get to move my tracker today!
I lost two pounds this week!!!!!:dance: :cp: :dancer:

Everyone have a great day.

:easter:

I'm here!

Down 1 pound! :snail:

I'll take it since AF is here. I'm hoping next week will show a bigger loss. Although with Easter this weekend it's going to be tough.

Ok, off to change my ticker...

Beach Babe, I'm so happy for you. :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:
One pound is a good loss.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to survive Easter? I'd love to hear from y'all.

:easter:

Hey guys!!

Congratulations Tammy, Tina and Beach Babe on your losses this week!! Good job ladies!

I haven't weighed in yet. I'm at work anxiously awaiting the arrival of 5 o'clock so I can get out of here. My meeting is at 6...I'll come back later and post my results.

I have a good feeling about this one girls! I've faithfully completed my whole first week of core. I mean, I followed this program to the letter! No cheating was done. So I'm super-excited for my weigh in....today may be the day I leave the 200s for good!!!

WAY TO GO TINA!!!! I knew you were feeling good about this weigh in!!

Beach Babe, good for you!!!

I weighed this morning, and I have lost another pound! I am so excited!! I'll hit that 20 mark sometime, and then I'll aim for the 30 pound mark. Bob told me that I should change it to show the weight that I had lost before I started WW this time, but I think I'll leave it like it is. Since my picture on the photo thread from Dec. 2003 (?), I am down 41 pounds now. Woo hoo!!!

Chantal, good luck at weigh in!!

Surviving Easter? Since it will just be us, I can pretty much just make enough so we don't have lots of leftovers. That way I shouldn't be tempted to overeat. With Tim home, we always eat too much it seems like because I always cook more when he's here. We are going out for Mexican on Friday night at a local place. We haven't been there for quite a while, and it's a favorite for all of us. I always get a shrimp quesadilla. Yummy!!

Good for you, Tammy!!!!
My goodness, you are a losing babe. ;)

I'm not going to eat any bread on Easter. My sister is fixing the ham, bread, and green beans (plain, not the casserole) and Jell-O salad.

I went out with my sister for lunch today. We had Mexican. However, I had 3 chicken tacos--didn't eat the taco shells. Then, we had sopapillas. They were small. :o :dizzy: :D

:easter:

Great job Tina, Tammy & Beach Babe! :cp: Looks like y'all did great this week!.

However, I think I know where some of the weight y'all lost went. To me! I was up 1.8lbs today. :tantrum: I know I didn't stay on program as well as I should have, but I thought I made up for it with no WPs after the weekend and not eating all of my APs. Guess not. Oh well, back on the wagon. Hopefully will do better next week.


:easter3:

Tina, I wish my losses weren't so far apart! It seems like I lost a couple, then it's ages before I lost anymore. I guess I shouldn't complain.

Terry, that little gain will be gone next week!!

Alright, so I didn't post my results on Thursday b/c I was incredibly frustrated and thought I would spare you all my rant.

I completed 7 days on Core faithfully...to the letter. The result? Down 1 lb. 1 lousy lb. A loss is a loss and I know this...but another .6 would have brought me below the 200 lb. mark...oh well.

And...I was really bad all weekend. I gave up chocolate for lent and when Sunday rolled around all I ate was chocolate. lol Oh well...gotta live a little right? Anyway, I'm back on track for the most part, but I'll start completely over on Thursday.

Hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter weekend.

Chantal,
We are always here for you!
One pound is good....even though it's not all you wanted.
The good thing about WW is that we don't have to give up that chocolate Easter bunny. :D I ate too many chocolates, too. I'm sure I used up all the flex points and then some. :dizzy:

The thing is----we just get right back OP, like you are doing. I bet you lose that extra weight this week and make it out of the 200's.

:flow1:

Chantal, a pound is great!!! Look how much you have lost already!! You are awesome!!

I overate this weekend too because we were having "real" meals since Tim was home. Good thing we don't do that all the time!!

Chantal, I know just how you feel. :hug: Most of the time I just feel like I'm treading water. This week I am down 1.8lbs. That is the same 1.8lbs I was up last week, so I don't feel like I have made any progress. But at least it is not up. Hopefully, I will be able to keep the momentum going this week.

How about everyone else? How did your weigh ins go? Let's hear it! :D

Terry, congratulations on getting last week's weight off.:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

I ate Chinese last night. So, I'm waiting until tomorrow to weigh-in. I'll let y'all know what the scales say to me. :D

:flow1:

Way to go Terry!!
I don't blame you on waiting Tina!!

I weighed here this morning, and I am up a couple pounds again. I've been taking the pain meds again. This crazy weather is driving me crazy!!! I hate to go for the official weigh in tonight, but I will. I'm going to tell her to just write it down, smile, and don't say a word to me about it.

Congrats to all you LOSERS!!!!

I'm frustrated already. I have absolutly no willpower.

This week I am +1. So basically, I'm right where I started. :o

It's so crazy how it takes such hard work and dedication just to lose one stinkin' pound but it only takes one day of semi-self indulges and you gain that pound right back. Oh well, it's a new week. I'll just have to do better.

Seriously willpower and motivation are a huge problem for me. I have a husband who loves to go get ice cream at night and it's so hard for me not to go with him. Then even when I go thinking I will make a smart choice say sherbert as soon as we get there I find myself ordering a reeses peanut butter sundae. Urgh!

Hope everyone else is doing better than I am.

Oh, my goodness! You've had one of those sundaes!
I heard that it was a gillion grams of fat. My husband would dearly love one of those. :)
You can do this! We can all do this!

Beach Babe, ice cream is my downfall! Come on over to the Chatters Thread and help us solve all the problems of the world!!

I weighed at weigh-in last night, and I did tell her to just smile and not say a word. lol Our leader did suggest to everyone that we give CORE a try for a week if we are having trouble with FLEX. I'm just having trouble because I don't do it as strict as I should, and I don't always journal.

I'm in the same situation. I weighed in yesterday because I can't make the meeting today and I was up 1.4 lbs. But I know why. I didn't get a chance to eat lunch until an hour before I went in to be weighed. So that may have helped increase my weight. I think from now on, I'm going to stick to the Noon meetings on Fridays. There are fewer people there. The meeting last night was really crowded and I felt out of place. By the way, this was my second meeting. Today starts week 2 on the meetings/food plan for me.

Mama, is your name Summer? I had a student named Summer many years ago. I also had one named Spring and another one named Autumn. Didn't have them all at the same time though.
I would rather go to a morning meeting, but the one here in town is at night. I really like the leader. There is a morning meeting in another town near here. I've gone to it if I know I can't make it to the night meeting.

Welcome to the group, and good luck on your weight loss journey!! Join us over on the Thursday Chatters Thread. We talk and talk there about a zillion different things!!

You know whats funny Terry?? I was up 1.8 this week! lol I expected it though. After last Thursdays weigh in, I just ate whatever I wanted for the rest of the week and started back OP on Thursday. It is quite amazing just how easy it is to put the weight back on.

Anyway, I'm over it now. Back to plain oatmeal and unsweetened apple sauce. I'm going to give Core another try but ultimately I think I'm going to switch back over to flex.

We gain, we lose...this is the life we chose ladies. lol Good luck and thanks for being here!

Oh and I refuse to change my tracker! lol

I like your view on life, Chantal. I thoroughly agree with you.
Good luck this week getting that extra off.
(I don't change my tracker, either. ;) )

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.

:flow1:

I refuse to change my tracker unless it is going in the right direction!!

We could have a club! No Tracker Changers United

I'll be the first to join that club!!!


:flow1:

I'm sure we could get lots of members!! lol

Is everyone ready to weigh this week? :D

Good luck to all of us. I've done so good, until lunch today.
My sister took me out and I ate dessert--carrot cake, and not the healthier kind. :lol: Oh well, I'll just exercise extra this afternoon.
I'm soooooo full right now that it'll have to wait.

Are all the "T's" ready to lose???

:flow1:

I'll be going to the meeting in the morning tomorrow because I'm meeting some of the teachers after school for supper. I want to be down at least a pound from the gain I had last week. I didn't try CORE because I knew we were going away over the weekend, and we weren't going to be around everyday this week. I do feel like I've made some pretty good choices, except for ice cream.

Tina, carrots are healthy!!

I haven't weighed in yet, but what about everyone else??

What's happening ladies??

Good luck to us all!!!!

:D :D :D

Yay! Down 2lbs this week. Although I am also part of the No Tracker Changers club and didn't record my 1lb gain from last week. So it looks like I've only lost 1 but nope it was two.

I'm still not being OP 100% but I am trying to make healthy choices. Hope everyone else gets good news today.

congrats on the loss Beach Babe!!

On my home scales last week, I was up 2 pounds. Those are gone this morning. On the WW scales last week, I was up 4 pounds. 3 of those were gone this week. So, I think I'm happy! lol

Good luck to everyone else!!

Beach Babe and Tammy---
Y'all are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep up the great work.


:flow1:

Congrats Beach Babe and Tammy, those are great losses!!

I'll be weighing in after work tonight. I have been on Core again for the past week, but I think it's time to start Flex again...I feel like I can't eat anything! lol

Anyway, good luck to the rest of you. I'll be back later to post my results...hopefully I'll get to move my tracker instead of remaining in a state of denial.

Chantal, How is Cleo doing now?

Chantal, I'm probably going to try Core for the next week. Any advice??

Okay, so just got home...didn't stay for the meeting but I was down 4.6 this week! YAY! So I'm kinda excited right now!! I think I'm going to stay on Core for another week. Then maybe switch back.

Tammy, the only advice I can give you if you're switching is DON'T GIVE UP! I got discouraged my first week b/c it wasn't the loss I wanted to see, I should've just stuck it out instead of throwing in the towel the following week. I've realized that it may take a week or two before you really see that drop on the scale. Also, make sure you have tons of veggies and fruit to snack on. I've been making lots of smoothies w/ fat free yogurt, frozen berries, milk, ice and a bit of Slenda. It's a yummy breakfast. Anyway I'm rambling on, if you have any questions just let me know. :)

Tina, Cleo is doing great! She's completely recovered and back to her old ways!! She's such a brat! I should post some pics of what she did to our couch. lol Thanks for asking.
