Biggest Loser 4 Week 12

[donac]

Good Tuesday Morning I hope it is a losing one for you. I have so many things on my mind to do today that weighing in was the least thing on my mind.

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!!

Have a magical losing day

another week of loosing nothing!! grrrr... well at least i didn't gain!!! have a great tuesday everyone and i leave in 63 days for WDW so i have to start loosing soon!!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone! I'm down 1/2 pound which puts me back to where I was a number of weeks ago before my gains.

This journey has been slower than I would have liked but that is due to my own (lack of) willpower when it comes to snacks etc. Still I have gained so much from this. For one thing I have been doing regular exercise since the first of the year. Something I never really got into before. For that I am totally happy and feeling great. Now to work on that will power!

Congrats to all the losers this week. To those who have gained or maintained congrats on staying with the program and checking in. You can do it!

 

[WDWorBUST]

Well I think I'm a long way from that coveted clippie but I did at least break through my maintaining and lost 1 pound. Every little bit helps and as long as we keep going we will get there. Hope everyone has a great day and Congratulations to all the losers - and if you gained or maintained....don't give up

 

[WDWorBUST]

I was just looking back over the last 11 weeks and I realized what has happened the last 2 weeks for me. I have not been writing down or really counting my points....I've been doing it all in my head and we all know what happens when you do that So for the next week (and hopefully longer - but I'll start with 1 week) I will write down what I am eating and the points value BEFORE I take a single bite. It should be interesting to see the result next Tuesday morning. And I'm giving myself a goal of being under 200 by May 13th. It will be tough and I will definitely have to be strict - but I have gotten way to relaxed and I need to kick it up a notch. I know I can do it.

 

[ohMom]

i am a maintainer...which i'm thrilled about after a week and a half of stress-eating. i gotta stop that, i probably would've lost 3 lb had I not over the past two weeks! urgh!

CYBER HIGH FIVE to our losers!!

to my fellow maintainers - let's follow WDWorBust and kick it up a notch this week - get geared up and ready to face Easter and all it's chocolate

if there are any gainers ((HUGS)) and remember you can do this!! day be day, journal, exercise, you know what to do and every day counts!

(that pep talk is for me too! )

This is me exactly too. I have been partly doing ww, and partly eating whatever I want, but since Jan 1, I have done a watp video at least 5 days/week, and 6 days for the past month at least. The past few weekends, I have done an hour video, and then eaten even more. I feel really good about the exercise, and plan to make that a permanent part of my life too.

I am up 1.2 pounds this week, but know exactly why, and if I wasn't exercising, I know it would have been way more. I picked up a little journal and am going to commit (again) to journalling every bite I take, and also thought I might add some feelings and thoughts at the time, to see if that will help me get on a better eating track.

Congratulations to all our losers here!!! And if you've gained or maintained, don't give up and you will see that loss soon. We all can do this!

Have a great day everyone!!

Good Tuesday Morning!

Congrats to all the losers! To all the maintainers and gainers stick with it you can do this!

Have a great day everyone!

Hi everyone. Well, on the scale front, I have some yucky news. I weighed in yesterday and I was up 3#. Oh yeah, I am not surprised with what I was eating. But that is soooo all in the past for me!

I am so excited you guys, I posted about it on the "I am SO proud of myself thread", but I will tell you guys about it here. Last night I had my first Tae Kwon Do testing, and I tested for my yellow belt. It was an absolutely amazing experience. I earned some pride in myself yesterday. I haven't had that in a very, very, very long time. I can't even put it into words. breaking my first board, doing the techniques, doing a great form, and doing the push up position (albeit modified for me but stil doing it) for 2 minutes, it's just a WOW, I DID IT!!!!!!!!! It lit a spark in me, and an urge to improve myself and really kick some Tae Kwon Do but!!!!

It is 3 months until the next testing. I am making a contract with myself, you guys and my master instructor that I will loose 25# before the next testing. It will be a blind weight loss, in that I mean I will not step on the scale until testing day. I play too many mind games and I just need to have some faith in myself and I know I can do it. It feels so good to have that "spark" back! In fact, I am going to the gym today!


Congrats to all of the losers, and hang in there maintainers and gainers. We can all do it! I know we can!

 

[Raenstoirm]

I finally made it. I am down exactly 10 lbs since January! It is only .4 this week, but given that it is a "feminine" week, I think that is excellent. I am hoping the bloating is messing with the number and I am really lower than that. Ah well, we shall see next Monday when I weigh in again.

 

[JOANNEL]

Congrats Vija, keep it up.

I have had a very bad week. I am up 3lbs. I have got to get back to being good. I sent all the goodies back to college with the boys so I am determined to get better at this.

Congrats to all you losers you are what keeps the rest of us going.

 

[JOANNEL]

I just went back and read week 11. Thanks guys for all the support, made me kind of teary as I sit here at my desk. I was very good yesterday- went to the gym and then did an hour or so of house work. So no extra eating here. Just one day at a time.

Have a great tuesday. I am going to be on the loser list next week!!!!!

As stressful as my week was i guess i didnt eat as bad as i thought. Im down 3.1 pounds. I also am retaining alot of water today because my fingers feel really fat and stiff. Shouldnt have put salt in dinner last night i guess the cheese also had salt. I dont normally eat any salt that isnt natural. I know, I know i should because you can get sick but i just dont like the taste of it except on chips. I dont even like it on pretzels or fries. As im typing this i just realized i didnt drink enough water yesterday either. So next weeks weight in should be water plus weight. I am going to try to exercise every day this week. I dont do it on a regular basis and with the temps warming up i need to get in fishing shape. Its hard to bring in the big fish when your stiff and unhealthly. I just found out this morning that my fishing trip i had planned for next week is being moved to the following week or so becuase of the weather. Well off to drink my coffee and get to work. This week work wise has been great.

Amanda

ps for the maintainer and gainers dont give up as someone(im really bad with names) said last week. I did last time and gained everything i lost plus. This is a lifetime change and doesnt have a deadline.

Vija! Vija! Vija! Oh boy did I smile through your post. So wonderful.

 

[lisaviolet]

I'm down 1.2. Very happy with that. Hang in there everyone. We are all still here. For me, that's huge. As I'm sure it for many.

I'm getting a little emotional about the ending of BL. One part of me can't wait to lessen my time on the scale. And the other part thinks that I need all of this wonderful support. Such a pull both ways.

Have a good day everyone,

Lisa

I am down 4.8. That is the biggest weekly loss in maybe 9-10 months for me. I had to check it several times, lol. But it read that yesterday too, when I briefly peeked. I knew I was down by the way my clothes were fitting (or should I say, not fitting, dress pants that I only wear every other month were sliding off). I suspect it will even out a bit next week as TOM is due then and the kids are off for spring break, but overall I'm sure I've finally punched through a platue barrier. And it is lovely spring weather that makes it nicer to walk, I've finished my big landscaping project so have a bit more time. I really really want to do 10 more pounds by my son's graduation in June. Well, I wish I could be 50 pounds lighter by then, but I have a good chance of doing the first 10.

 

[mfabre]

I stayed the same this week! I guess I am okay with that since it isn't a gain. I think where I went wrong was eating broccoli the last couple of days. They say that makes you retain water. I will have to be more concious of that and see if it does make a difference. My WW weigh-in is tomorrow and I hope to have atleat a little loss there!

Good luck to everyone on a new week! Congratulations to all of you who lost this week!
