W.I.S.H. Check-in Thread for February 1, 2004

[Otto's Doll]

Didn't see this one yet, so I thought I would get it started. I am down 1.5 pounds.. at my lowest weight since I started W.I.S.H. and thanks to all your hugs and PD, I am feeling much better and lost the water weight I was holding on to due to this cold!

Blessings!

Despite my best efforts to lose, I went up again this week! OY! Up a little more than a pound.

It's all good though. That's why I'm about 10 pounds UNDER my goal weight so that if this happens, I can get it in check before it becomes a serious problem.

I think some of it was water retention as well. You don't go from being 185 to 188 overnight! It's just not possible!!!!

So I've dug out my food journal for the first time in a LONG time, and have been religiously writing down everything I eat. I'm also trying my darndest not to use my flexpoints. I'm having a good go at it thus far!

I'm down 1.8 lbs this week Which makes me VERY happy as I had barely made it into Onderland last week and didn't want to have a gain and have to leave Onderland so soon. Only 1 lb away from a new clippie!

I lost another 2lbs this week. Still no change in my measurements since I lost the last 5lbs. I know it must be coming off from somewhere. Apparently not just where I would like it to.

Good morning everyone, and CONGRATULATIONS!!! It seems like we've all had a great week, and I'm happy for all your successes! Dan, I see you're maintaing an incredible weight loss! I'm trying to maintain too, and I know what you mean about getting things in check before it becomes a problem--it's something I've had to learn after 15 years of yo-yo dieting--I just can't go through those ups and downs anymore! If you have any more maintenance tips, I'd love to hear them--sounds like you're a real pro! Congratulations on your awesome accomplishment! This morning I weighed in at 124 1/2 pounds (trying to maintain at 123-125), so I've officially been maintaining for four whole weeks! Thanks, everyone for such support and motivation--I can't tell you what it means to me to have you all here. Have a great week everyone, and big hugs to you all!

ok, well, I'm down 1 lb. which is great considering the week I've had. TOM and still fighting a cold.(and dr-*** DS) Measurements were not great, but thinking that may be due to a bit of bloating. Hope next weeks look better.

Kevin - GREAT 1st week on Atkins. Keep up the good work!

 

[joats]

Once again, maintained. Hoping for a - change in the next coming weeks as I joined the gym at my office. My new job offers you a free membership and it's just down the stairs so NO EXCUSES not to exercise my butt off (literally)!

Hope everyone has a good week.

I haven't checked in for so long but will start up again. I have lost almost 10 pounds since I started following Dr. Phil's plan. I only have 3 pounds to go before I reach the goal I have set fro myself so I am very happy. Great job to all those who hung in there and lost weight, stayed the same, and hugs to those who gained, we all have been there.

I'm down 1 lb. this week for a total of 10! I am worried though about eating at Disney, we leave on Thurs.
I just don't want to gain a lot back or get the carb cravings back.

I will try my best to stick to it but still have a great time.

Good luck to everyone and I'll check in when I get back!

I started my WISH journal today but gained a pound from TOM

 

[Baileymouse]

Wow! A surprising loss for me this week. I'm at 222, another 3 lbs. this week. If I can keep this up I'll be a lightweight in no time, lol. Of course I'm used to the many, many plateaus too, sigh.

 

[geetey]

I think Sundays like me. I am checking in a day early with a 2 pound loss!! WOWSERS for me!! That gives me a NEW CLIPPIE!! Woo hooo!!! I think this one deserves the bananas!

 

[Byrd]

I haven't been checking in like I should. Have not walked in a week. Yes, we had an ice storm, another one due tomorrow. I know excuses.
I've lost 13 pounds since I started January 12th. I hope to report a better loss next week. I've got to start back walking!
Thanks guys!

As of this morning I'm down another five pounds for a total of 16 pounds lost since 1/1/04 (check out the new clippie). It's a lot, but I tend to loose weight in chunks (pardon the expression). I'll probably plateau for at least a few days. I exercised five days last week (today's an off day). I'm a little worried about this week. It's TOM, and I think I'm coming down with strep throat. It's going around the kids preschool, and DS and I have fevers and sore throats (will call the doctor in the AM). I just don't want to fall off the wagon of exercise. Hopefully I can find some energy to get back to the walking track.

 

[KimRaye]

I'm soo confused. I know I lost at least 3 lbs, based on my old scale, probably 4 tho. Where I'm confused is, my new scale was only 2 lbs difference, until tonight. It's now 3 lbs different. I'm going to have to stick with my old scale for pounds lost (since that's what I used to register at WW), all the while knowing my new scale shows the accurate weight 2 lbs higher. Does that make sense?? Either way, I've lost 10 lbs total (prob 11 tho) on WW after 3 weeks.

See NEW CLIPPIE BELOW!!!

CONGRATS EVERYONE!!!

 

[Brier Rose]

No pounds lost for me this week! It's pretty frustrating, but I did lose 6 inches this week, so that helps.
That brings my total for `1 month on Atkins to 11 pounds, and not sure how many inches.(just started measuring last week)

te1nsmom - PLEASE get that throat looked at! I had strep throught last year, and let it go too long. OMG! Lets just say, I won't ever do that again.

 

[bubie2.5]

Two more pounds gone!! Now I can wear the 10lb clippie!!

 

[teachingmykids]

New here! I just started Atkins last week. No weight loss yet, but I'm hopeful.

I hope everyone has a great week.
