[mishoe01]

Working on the 10 lber......doing Curves, walking, WATP videos, Tony Little Gazelle, and Windsor Pilates 20minute workout.

[msteddom]

Welcome to our new members: Scarlet, BethR, firecracker, and mishoe01! I'm really glad to see you guys made it. Way to go! Don't get too comfortable here though. That 10 lb clippie awaits!!

Whoo hoo to all the new 5lb clippie owners!

Melissa,
Don't let those cookies bum you out. You had banked points, and that is what they are there for. I really try to eat most of my points each day. I do end up with banked points (usually) each week too, but I feel that I do better when I eat more towards the higher end of my points.
I bet you have an awesome WI on Tuesday, even with the cookies. It probably will just make your metabolism gain some momentum........but since you were still within your points you will loose!

Scarlet,
Welcome! Congrats on finishing induction and loosing those 7 pounds. You will be moving on up to the 10lb clippie soon! Keep up the awesome job.

Beth,

Welcome! Congrats on sticking with the program even when you stalled. A lot of people slip up when they stall so early. Good job on sticking with it, it paid off!


Carmen,
Congrats on finishing your first two weeks. You will be leaving this group behind in no time with that 8lb loss! You go girl!

mishoe01,
Welcome! Your list of exercises wore me out! Congrat's on a fabulous job exercising! I really need to improve on that, and I really admire someone who get's the exercise added to their weight loss program right from the begining.

Whoo - hoo! Let's have an awesome week, with lots of losses. I will post later tonight after my Weight Watcher weigh-in. I think I did pretty well. I would say probably about 1.5 lbs this week! Keep up the good work everyone!

Melanie

 

[BethR]

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement, Melanie! You are truly a bright star on this Board!

And congratulations to my fellow Clippie Classmates - firecracker, scarlett, and mishoe !

 

[MelanieC]

Ok...........drum roll please!! I lost 2.2 pounds this week. I am so happy. I fell short of a total loss of 20 pounds by only .2 oz! I was so close. I had a feeling it was going to be a good loss this week, because I thought my loss last week was going to be higher but was very bloated.


Getting closer to that 10lb clippie! Whoo-hoo!

Melanie

 

[firecracker]

Wow! You're doing great! Who cares if you missed the 20# mark by .2#??? Go pee and weigh yourself again! You're bound to lose a little that way!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

I have a nasty habit of weighing every day. I've got to stop because I'm beginning to get a little obsessive. I'm going to try to only weigh on Sunday mornings and then report in on the board after that.

I've noticed that my appetite has gone away on Atkins! I'm so happy not to be thinking about food all the time! Now I have to come up with something ELSE to think about!!!

Carmen

 

[msteddom]

Hi there all 5 pounders! I have lost another 2 pounds for a WISH totla of 8 and a grand total of 13!!! So goo news all, you've got me for another week!

Melanie- Let's see if you and I can't get that 10 pound clippie next week

firecracker- I get a little obsessive about weighing myself. I sometimes do it several times a day. I make sure to ONLY pay attention to my weekly WI though. tigH posted a wonderful article on "Why the Scale Lies." I would post the link for you but I can't find it.

Way to go everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[firecracker]

Well, I just claimed my 10# clippie! I hate to leave you, but I know I'll see you all SOON on the 10# thread!

Hi everyone!

I'm starting my third week of WW today. The first week I lost 4 lbs. and last week I lost another 4 lbs which brings my total loss from 7/16 to 8 lbs! Congratulations to all of you who have lost weight! If I can do it, anyone can.

 

[msteddom]

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing heading in to the weekend! I've strayed off plan the past two days. Wed. I was at Disneyland and planned on eating whatever I wanted and tonight I unexpectedly got tickets to the women's tennis tournament in town, and the only food options were burgers and dogs. I'm not too concerned about it, I'll just have to be extra good over the weekend.

So make sure that you guys all have a plan to get yourselves through the weekend! I know that this is alwaus the hardest time for me. Good luck!

 

[RaySharpton]

I just wanted to say that you guys can do it.

God bless, best wishes, and encouragement, RaySharpton

 

[scarlett873]

well folks...my stay here with you has come to an end...I'M MOVING UP TO THE 10 POUNDS LOST THREAD!!!!!!

i weighed in this morning and i am down 10 whole pounds!! i tried t do a quick measure this morning, but couldn't figure out where i had lost it...i'll do my normal measure tomorrow morning...

woo hoo!!!

 

[MelanieC]

Congrats Scarlet!

Way to go! We will all be seeing you there real soon! Keep up the awesome job! See you soon!

How is everyone doing after the weekend. I go for my WI tonight, if I can get out of cheerleading somehow. I am an assistant coach, and there is another assistant coach plus the coach. I am going to see if I can just miss Monday's so I don't disrupt my schedule. I really hate to move things around when I am loosing so well!

I hope everyone had a great loss this week. Keep up the great work.

Melanie

I have a feeling that I'll be another perpetual member of the '5 pound' club.
I started Atkins about 2 weeks and 4 days ago.
After 1 week, I'd lost 5.5 pounds.
After 2 weeks, I'd lost 8 pounds.
Now I'm into my third week- trying to work exercise into my day... taking the long way around at work to make deliveries, doing side bends and toe touches at home.
I'm now up to 9 pounds, and that magic 10 is going to play 'keep away' with me for a while.
My younger brother and family are coming to WDW this Christmas for the very first time, and I want to be able to show them around in style...... not having to rest every so often.

So I'll keep you company here for a while, and if that elusive 10 sneaks up on me without me knowing it.... just tap me on the shoulder. Okay???

 

[MelanieC]

Flower,

You are so close! You can do it! You will be walking around Disney, looking so good and feeling so good in your new healthy body! You'll be at the 10lb clippie soon!

Well tonight was weigh-in and I didn't loose anything this week. I was exactly the same as last week. Saturday, I actually saw a number on my scale that I hadn't seen before, but somehow that number disappeared before my WI today. Maybe next week I will have a big loss! I hope!


Good luck this week everyone!!

Melanie

 

[msteddom]

Hey Melanie,
Those unoffical weigh ins can be decieving can't they? I'm sorry it didn't hold for your meeting. Look at the bright side, you didn't gain anything either! Stick with it!

Melissa

 

[msteddom]

Well guys I must bid you farewell. The 10 pound clippie is mine and I'm moving on. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement. I expect to see all of you on the 10 pound thread very soon! Got it?


Melissa

 

[bunnyfoo]

Congratulations Melissa! I hope to join you in the 10 pound clippie club soon

HIYA!

I'm not really sure how this WISH CHALLENGE works, but I weighed myself today for the first time in years...and I mean years! I left TOPS in about 95 and that was the last time I weighed myself except for doctor's visits. So anyway, I vaguely remember the last time I stepped on a scale about a month ago I weighed about 239, well today I was 231!! I don't remember the last time I weighed that little. Gee, this time next week, I'll be at the 10 pound mark already and I just stopped in today!

I'm having an easier time on Adkins over the last few days and today is my last day of induction. I might stick it out through the end of the week to see how I do. I'm going to start Tae-Bo again and this time I'm sticking with it. Something always comes up to give me the reason to stop....well, no more since I see the weight loss without it. Imagine what it will be like with it!

Best to everyone on their weight loss endeavors and hopefully next week I'll be stopping in to say good-bye, but only until I meet you on the 10 pound clippie thread!

 

[LuvTigger]

As of this morning, I have moved on up to the 10 lb clippie thread! I was at 9.5 for the longest time and FINALLY lost that 1/2 lb! I'll be seeing you all very soon over there! Keep it up!
