WI Thread for 9/18-9/24
 

Here's to another week of great weigh-ins... :hat:

Good luck everyone!

Let us know how you did, up down or inbetween....

Ok, I actually weighed in yesterday but forgot to post on the WI thread, so I'll do it here.

2 pounds lost!!!

Yippeee. :dance: :dance: :dance: That puts me at 28 total loss- I'm hoping to hit 30 next WI. This is really getting exciting!!!

Way to go, Lori!!!! You're doing fabulous!!!

I weighed in tonight, but I just weighed in on Saturday. I lost .2 pounds. I guess it's going in the right direction :)

Good luck, everybody!!!

Right back at'cha, sweetie! Loss is loss, and it all adds up!

I was weighed in on Saturday, but I've been so busy that I completely forgot to post, lmao. I lost 3 pounds! :D So now I'm at 19 pounds loss (because I can't do .5 pound increments on the slider, it reads 20...but that's okay :lol: ), which puts me a mere 2 pounds away from my 10% goal. I can barely believe it.

This morning, I couldn't really find anything to wear, so I thought I'd try the size 14 pants in my closet. And wouldn't you know...they fit? Lol. I chose not to wear them today, though, because, even though they generally fit, they were a little tight around the midsection and made my stomach look yucky. But I bet I'm only a couple more weeks away from wearing them comfortably.

So now...what do I do with my sizes 16 and 18 stuff? I'm thinking donations, lol.

Hope the rest of you are doing well! Congrats on the losses, ladies!! :cb: :cb:

Lori, Stephanie, Amanda! You ladies are doing so well! Great Job I am so proud of all of you! Way to go!!!! :cheer: :cb: :cheer:

WTG Everyone!!!

Hey,

I posted earlier saying I had not lost weight. I ended up weighing myself again a little later this morning and it turns out I lost 1 lb. That puts me at 158.5 (though the slider won't do .5 increments). So, there ya go! :)

Awesome Job Sistas! Way To Go Lori, Steph, Amanda, And Mink! Keep It Up You Guys!

I am so excited I lost 2 pounds today so that is a total of 30 pounds. Yeah!!!

LUFLIC THAT IS FABULOUS!!!

Everyone is doing so well great job!!!!!!

Misty you are such a great encourager!

WOOHOO Luflic!! :dance:
What a great weigh in week everyone! Keep it up!! :cp:

Up a pound :( But I know exactly why. I am focused and I have put alot in perspective this week. I have looked at my schedule and I am adapting it to fit my needs instead of trying to force myself to workout when I just can't. Sorry 5 am is for the birds!!!!

Way to go, Luflic! You'll get it next week, Misty. I'm with you on the early morning exercising--I seriously can't do it. I now exercise after supper.

Misty-I am sorry about your gain...but next week great things will happen on the scale. I agree with you as well and on exercising in the morning...NO THANKS!
I am going to weigh in today early b/c we are evacuating b/c of Hurricane Rita. I am scared since it is 3 days early...oh well...at least I am going!!

WTG Sistas!!

Misty, up a pound is nothing the long run. You can stay with it!!! I'm proud of you guys.

I didn't go to WI today. I joined e-diets yesterday. But in keeping with the Wed WI I am down .5 from last week. My next WI will be on Tues.

Thanks for the support! Someone already said this here but remember if you can't get your workout in all at once break it into chunks. Steel 10 minutes here and 10 minutes when they are napping and 10 minutes instead of a tv show and then you have your 30 minutes. I have found I need to break up my exercise because I usually have to go pee how ridiculus is that one ;)

Down -1.5 (well actually -1.6) I'm pretty happy with that...gotta keep it up.

Luflac-CRACKING ME UP :lol: ..I do so know what you mean about having to pee. Then I start staring at the time non-stop and a min. seems like an eternity!! :ebike:

Great job, Marcie!! 1.6 pounds gone, and you weighed in 3 days early!! Way to go!! By the way, my thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and everyone in that area. How horrible!

I haven't been around much today or yesterday. I had a bad migraine last night, and I went to bed around 6:00pm and slept through the night. The bad part about it (besides having uncontrollable pain) is that I didn't exercise one minute, but the good part is that I didn't eat anything bad either (since I was SLEEPING!!) Geez, the only way I can keep myself from stuffing my face is to sleep! ;)

I gained around a pound to a pound and a half. But that is to be expected after the way I ate the past few days. So far I've done MUCH better today!! Congrats to everyone who had a loss!

Woo-hoo! Back up to 260! Just three more pounds and I'll be right back up to my highest weight ever. Figure I can reach that by next week, no problem! From there, I'll fly right into the 270s and with any luck, I can break 300 by Christmas. I'm so proud of myself. I'm so f'ing proud and happy that if I had a gun I would shoot myself. Sounding like a damn good idea.

MAGGIE! Please girl, tell me you're just having a rotten day. We love you! We don't want you to give up!

Maggie,

Hey there woman, don't make us round up the Sista Posse and head your way!!

Don't despair; Like Amy said, we do love ya... :grouphug: no, really... :grouphug:

(((Maggie))) Believe me I understand - I just came off of a not so great week, ending it up with 3 days of uncontrollable eating. It sucks, and I was about ready to give it up too. :(

You can do this Maggie!! We love you and don't want you to give up.

(((Hugs)))

Aw, guys... I know you're here for me, and I really appreciate it. Yeah, I'm having a bad day but it's not just that. I've been dieting for 25 years and I'm still an ugly obese cow. It's gotten me nowhere and I am just so tired. I'm just going to eat what I want, no counting or weighing and measuring. If I feel like drinking water, I will -- but I'm not going to force down 80-100 ounces a day. I know WW isn't a diet, and it's the best thing out there for weight loss. But I simply can't do it. I can't do any of it. After all this time, it's time to admit this and, I don't know, start making my own clothes I guess. Once I resign myself to being like this for the rest of my life, once the initial pain is over, I'll just get used to it. All I have to do is let go of this image I have of myself as being a sexy, attractive, self-confident woman. Once I let go of that and acknowledge what I am -- fat, ugly, and not getting any better -- I'll probably be pretty happy. I think the problem isn't the weight itself; it's the way the real me isn't in sync with the me in my head, what I want to be. Happiness will come in the letting go of the ridiculous ideals and images, in the acceptance of the fat me. It's all I have the energy for anymore.

Maggie are you honestly following WW plan and not loosing? Have you taken your journal into your leader and asked for help? If you are staying within your points there has to be something else going on here. As frustrating as it is you need to seek help. If I was gaining I would be beside myself also. Quit beating yourself up. Remember God loves you and so do we!

Oh, Luf, no, I'm NOT following the plan at all. I know it works. If I was following it, I would be losing weight. I just don't know how to make myself follow it anymore. It's a mental block. I followed it and did great for a month, then started slacking off. Now I eat and eat and eat. I had three bowls of ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate sauce before noon yesterday.I had three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches between noon and dinner time. Oh, and tuna fish sandwich. I had a box of Mike and Ikes before dinner. For dinner, I had KFC. More ice cream, a bag of Fritos, a 2-liter bottle of soda and a jar of cheese dip between dinner and bedtime. And I don't even have the good sense to throw it up. On a typical day, I've been eating bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast, cheese steaks for lunch, chocolate bars at coffee break. A whole pound of pasta with butter and cheese for dinner. When I don't diet, I don't eat like this. I don't eat well enough to lose weight, but I don't eat tens of thousands of calories in a day either. Please don't even give it a second thought. As far as losing weight goes, I'm just not worth thinking about. I am a fat fat fat woman; I think that was God's plan. I'm never going to change.

Oh Maggie you are in such need of a physical HUG stop this spiral you are on. You are a very special person. Quit sabatoging yourself. You said it yourself this is not your normal eating pattern. Get on your knees girl. I am a believer and I too would have liked to make excuses for my fat. I did this to myself not God. He created us perfect. We goof and add on these pounds. You need to get some advice from someone you respect. Church minister, counselor, a sister in christ someone who knows you, knows your value and someone who can be honest with you! I know this time is working for me and I have been totally broken before God on this. I want you to know I have lifted you in prayer Maggie.
