New Me by New Year FINAL check-in 01/01/04!!

[Debbie]

Well, I've lost the gained weight and an extra to boot, so score me 1/13.
Fingers crossed that it will continue in the right direction.!

 

[jillwdw]

Oops, I missed check in! My computer is on the fritz and I have to wait to use the one at work. I'm down 2lbs!

 

[Claire4dpins]

Thanks for checking in & well done on moving downwards!!

honeymo78 - Well done on the two pounds - what a great start to the challenge - with eight weeks to go I am sure the other 16 are in your sights!!

mum4jenn - another 2lbs good for you!! I will add that loss to the totals in next Thursdays check-in thread.

kayeandjim00 - .8 of a pound is nearly 1lb and you are moving in the right direction so do keep it up! Fingers crossed that you see a little more for your efforts next week.

Debbie - 1lb gone towards your goal - good for you! We all have those weeks where we seem to loose and gain the same pound or two - I think that is the week I am having this week!! Hope you have a more settled week next week!!

jillwdw - don't worry you didn't miss the check-in many people are sticking to their regular weigh-in day, any time between the Thursaday & the following Wednesday is fine!! Good for you loosing 2lbs this week - you're heading on down the right way towards your goal there!!

Good job everyone, Onwards & Downwards we go,
Claire

Second Check-in 11/13/03

Hello All - hope you have all had a great second week!!

I have stayed the same again this week - so I am still 2/20 for this challenge - I am not really sure where I am going wrong - I am not drinking enough water - but I had thought I was in my carbs limit - I am still on induction rules and plan to be for a long time yet!! I am really hoping for a Whoosh Fairy visit soon! Still seven weeks of the challenge left so plenty of time to get rid of some of those pounds!!

How has everyone else done this week? Kept up with the exercise? I hope you have all done better than me with your water!!
Can't wait to read how you are all getting along!!
Claire
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mum4jenn - I have added your excellent 2lbs loss to the second check-in total - hope you're having a good week this week too!!

Well, I thought it was going to be a stalled week, but I ended up losing another 6 pounds (thanks, WF, and everyone else that assured me that it would eventually catch up!) for a total of 12 out of 20 lbs.

Everyone's doing so well on this challenge. Thanks, Claire4pins for organizing!

 

[mommyflower]

I lost .5 pounds this week. Which makes me 3/12. I am finally starting to feel better as my cold/cough is starting to go away. Almost two weeks of coughing is awful. What is really rough is that we leave for MIL for thanksgiving on thanksgiving morning. From there we go to WDW. So I am starting to feel a little stressed because not only do I need to get ready for the trip, but I need to catch up on all the house work and things that didn't get done while I was sick. And TOM is just a few days away. My plan is to try to take it slow and steady, so I don't start to get stressed and start to eat poorly. Wish me luck! I hope everyone else is doing well this week. With Thanksgiving two weeks away, I am sure others might be stressing over that trip to the relatives or the relatives trip to your house. Let's all take a breath and say I Can Do This!!!

 

[PAdisMOM]

Well, no loss this week so I'm still 3/15.

I'm not upset about this because I was hoping to maintain this week. We went to NYC this weekend and maintaining is a victory!!

I got right back OP on Sunday night as soon as we returned. I also made some changes to my program that I'm really happy with. I changed my WW to start with dinner instead of breakfast. I changed my week to start Sunday night instead of Thursday morning. And I started to eat my activity points (but they can only be used for a fruit or a dairy). This has felt like a fresh start for me!!

 

[catherine]

I lost 3lbs this week, so that puts me at 4/20. With a WDW trip in 17 days I'm happy to be doing this challenge right now. It will help keep me motivated when all the yummy food is calling my name

 

[AprilN]

Another 3 pounds gone for me, which puts me at 6/19 for the challenge. Things are still going great! Tomorrow night is a birthday dinner for my mom, where I'll need to keep a focus on making good choices - but I believe I can do it!

Keep up the great work, everyone.

 

[AlisonB]

I've lost 2lbs this week, which puts me at 2/15 for the challenge!!

 

[Claire4dpins]

Good to see everyone checking in and it seems like most have had a good week!

kasar - how fantastic - you must feel good - another 6lbs gone - very well done. I read your post where you thought you weren't going to loose this week and look how it turned out!! PLEASE send the whoosh fairy to me I need a visit badly!!!

mommyflower - glad you are starting to feel better - two weeks of being ill must have been difficult and your system is not working as normal which makes the weight loss tough - so good for you on the .5lb. I hope the getting ready for thanksgiving & the trip to WDW is going well and has not been as stressful as you thought so far. Focus on the fun to come in difficult moments.

PAdisMOM - hope the trip to NYC was a good one - looks like planning where you were going to eat worked out - very good job maintaing and getting right back on program!! Sounds like you have a great new start planned there so I hope you see reults by next week!!

catherine - another 3lbs - you should feel proud of yourself - think how much smaller you will be for this trip to WDW!! You must be getting excited now!!

AprilN - 6lbs of this challenge gone for you already - you are doing so well!! With the progress you are making I am sure you made some good choices at the birthday dinner! Hope next week is just as good for you!

AlisonB - another 2lbs down - keep up the good work and you will have you goal of 15 done by New Year! I hope you are having a good week.

I am so glad I started this challenge because I need some of your positive energy to hit me this week! I really need to loose something this week - I want my new clippie so badly. I feel like I am doing the right things but not loosing - I need to read your posts to keep me focused!!

Looking forward to seeing others check-in,
Claire

Debbie - sorry no loss showed up for you this week - I am sure you will be down by next week!! You have lost over 60lbs I see, that is an incrediable achievement - I hope to be following your wonderful example!!

Hope you are all having a good week - everyone just try and get one more glass of water drunk to help you on your way!

[Claire4dpins]

Well, hello everyone - another week of the challenge over - three weeks down & another six to get to our mini-goals!! Hope lots of people check-in this week so we can all share our journey!!

I am pleased to be down 3lbs this week - which makes up for my no loss last week!! I am 5/20 for the challenge now and it does feel good to be a quarter of the way there!

Hope everyone has had a good week - can't wait to hear about it! A special welcome to robinb - who has just joined us in the challenge!
Claire

 

[kasar]

Good morning everyone! Just checking in with my 2 lb. loss this week, making it 14/20. I was thinking of upping my goal but it seems if things are slowing down a bit so I think I'll keep it at 20 lbs. for now. I was hoping for more this week since I've stepped up my exercise routine but that may take a while to register. I've resisted Dunkin' Donuts for three weeks, though!

 

[catherine]

I've lost 2lbs this week, which puts me at 6/20. Onward and downward everyone
