Biggest Loser 4 Week 11

[donac]

Good Tuesday Morning I hope it is a losing one for you. I am up a pound but with the crappy eating I have been doing that is okay.

Don't forget the following from Brenda (dare2dream)
Please report your weight using the number of pounds ie xxx pounds
If you would like to add your change for the week that is OK ie I lost 2 pounds. Remember weights can be reported in 1/10 of pound increments ie xxx.x pounds.

Please report by midnight Tuesday
If you are late report as soon as you remember. I know sometimes RL (real life) is more important.

Please PM or email your weekly report to Brenda (dare2dream) I am not much of a contributor on our weekly thread but I do read every post. I think Tuesdays are great when everyone checks in to report their weekly progress. It helps to keep us all accountable and it's fun to share your success. Last week I noticed several reports from people I never got a PM or email from. I went through the entire thread and checked. 8 people reported their progress here but never reported to me.

Now folks, help out a weight keeper here please!! Please report your weekly weight to Brenda by PM or email to brenda@kbelectric.biz. Remember to report by midnight Tuesday and remember to report in pounds ie xxx pounds (not just I lost x pounds). PrettyPlease!!

I have been MIA the last couple of day because of work and ds's school play ending. I have a lot to write down to help me get things off my chest so I will be back later.

Have a magical losing day

Good morning! I'm down 1/2 pound. Still not back to my lowest point this challenge but getting there.

Even though the weight hasn't moved much the inches have. I haven't really measured either before I started or now but when shopping for a dress this weekend (for an upcoming cruise) I had to go down a size! That felt good!

Good Morning, everyone!

Well I have a gain this week. It's only .5 but I'll take it after the week I had. We had to tear apart our bathroom last week because our toliet was leaking and the flange needed replaced. UGH! It was a long week of tearing up, replacing and running from store to store looking for new tille. I am glad I finally have my bathroom back. And then on Saturday we took my dogs to the vets and found out that my one has a large mass in his stomach and he does not have much time left and my other one has a tumor that is starting to cause problems for him again. So needless to say this has been a physical and emotionally exhausting week for me. Hopefully this week will be better!

Good luck to everyone with your WI today!

Have a great day!

Michele

Good morning fellow Losers!!!

I am down .6 this week, and happy I saw a loss. I've not been eating as well as I should, but have continued to exercise, and did the 4 mile watp tape 3 times this week. Now if only I could stop the snacking.

Dona- hope the school play ends smoothly. I'm sure you'll get right back on track and lose that pound next week.

I'm going to try and come around here more often. My buddy gretchen/mercobear is on a cruise and in wdw this week, lucky girl. She has been a great support for me, and I'll miss her pms this week.

Hope everyone has a good weighin today, and if you don't lose, or see a gain, don't give up. We can do this, and we are worth it. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Last week I didn't check in due to not getting to my computer till late Wednesday. I had a gain of 1.4 last week and was pretty bummed. I started weighing in at home for this thread in stead of waiting till my WW weigh in on Wednesday. My scale is right on with my weigh in center so I think this will work out much better!

This week I am down 2 pounds! I feel so much better after my gain last week.

Good morning all and congats to all the losers. Once again i am not among you. I have stayed the same again...........ugh.

 

[Raenstoirm]

Down 2.4 Ding Dong the evil plateau is dead! I had been spinning around the same number for 6 weeks so I am THRILLED to be past it!

Heres to keeping up my new momentum!

 

[WDWorBUST]

Well the dreaded gain has finally occurred. I am up 1 pound this week. But I guess I can't complain too much. My eating was not what it needed to be last week. We had an activity filled week at work and there was popcorn and caramel corn available all week. Then I had lunch provided at work and got a burger and then we had a huge party where I had a couple of drinks. Then Sunday night DH messed up our frozed Lean Cuisine pizza where we couldn't eat it....(he missed pulling the cardboard circle and it was STUCK to the bottom of the pizza)....so we ended up eating pizza rolls. AND I wasn't tracking my eating which all by itself isn't good. Oh well....I'm back on track and I'm confident I'll see that pound gone with hopefully another one or so with it.

 

[winniedapooh]

I can so relate with the "ding dong the evil plateau is dead", lol! I am down again this week, but it is the lowest I have been in years, I think ! Congrats to all who have lost, maintained, or even gained this week...we are ALL winners! We CAN do it!

 

[goldengourd]

Good morning to everyone. I missed last week, but I'm down .6 today. Which over a two week span is frustrating. I'm fitting in to smaller clothes, but the scale just doesn't seem to change, maybe only about 3 lbs for this whole challenge time. ARG!!

[Geekerbell]

Well, I am a maintainer this week. And honestly, after the week I had, I am thankful for that. Hope to post a loss next week, though.

Have a super day!

 

[whgrn]

FINALLY!!!! My weight is catching up with my measurements. I'm down 4.9 pounds this week (and I DIDN'T gain last week!)

Weird, there was no post on week 10 with a link to week 11. I was afraid the whole thread had died

 

[tmfranlk]

I am down 2 this week. It wasn't a bad week, but not great either. Glad for any loss, but the 2 was a surprise!

 

[simpilotswife]

Nice going Buddy!!

I'm down too this week.

 

[cobbler]

I am still hanging in there. I have been putting in a lot of running to get ready for the Minnie.

I don't know what is going on but after 11 weeks I am still the same weight (actually about .3lbs more) than when I started.

It had better start melting off like butter. It's frustrating.

 

[acourtwdw2]

I am happy to report a loss again this week. I am down 4.2. I havnt weight this amount in a loooong time.

Have a great day.
