Weight Loss 2009

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

I am down 2lbs. i updated my ticker. yea me! now that was 2lbs the hard way. I am actually down just under 10lbs total, but the other 8 was from this wicked stomach bug i have had since sunday!!!!
so really, i imagine that those will come back as soon as i am able to eat. so 2lbs is just fine by me. yea me!

Hi everyone!

You are all doing so well and have already inspired me! We are going to see Mickey in less than a month and I'd love to lose 10 pounds by then...

I rejoined WW today with a friend from work. Being a Lifetime member, I just pay the weekly fee if I am over my goal weight, which I am. It's Day 3 counting points and so far, so good. WW always works for me so I can't understand why I always stray...

Thanks for this thread and continued good luck to all of you!!!

I need your words of engouragement. I got on the scale this morning and gained 2 pounds.

I dont know what happened...what a let down... I worked nights and may have bought a small bag of chips in the cafiteria. But I didn't think it would mean putting on 2 pounds......?

I know you are frustrated, but hang in there! I am a permanent night worker, and it took me about a month and 1/2 before I finally got things figured out! Nights takes a toll on your body, and if you weigh in after night shift it's like weighing in before bed, so if I worked nights before my weigh in day, I would sleep then weigh in when I get up! Another thing I do is I do not eat 3 hours before I go to sleep, whether that be in the morning or at night! I wanted to loose another 10lbs before our trip, and got on the scale this AM (we leave tommrrow!) and I have lost a total of 9lbs since New Years! So my grand total since October is 29lbs yeah! I have 11lbs to go for my goal! Before I lost the last 9lbs I hit a plateau that lasted 4 weeks! Talk about frustrating! I'm sure the last 11 lbs are going to be tough, but I know I can do it!!! AND SO CAN ALL OF YOU!!! KEEP UP THE AWSOME WORK GANG!!!!

Just to let everyone know how my weight loss is going...well it isn't at the moment. Lost 6 lbs the first week, then gained 2 the next week. I feel as if I lost weight, but our scale died this morning, so I have no idea how much I weigh at the moment. Went to my regular doc about my DS4's neck which he decided to give a crunch a couple of days ago, and even though it's a strain, he decided to check out my back anyway, and agreed with doc #1 to lose the weight . I told him yeah right, as if I'm going to lose any amount of weight just before a trip (I can heckle him, and he gives it back). So we have an agreement that I'll lose the weight after the trip. I've got 8 days till a DL trip, so after the trip will get serious about the weightloss, and will be careful when I'm on the road what I eat. Hope that everyone is having better luck with the weightloss than I am at the moment. Have a great evening!!

I cannot believe this week for everybody! I had my weigh in this morn & I too gained, 0.4 but still I gained! That's a total loss of 5.2 in 3 wks.
Okay ladies, we really need to figure out what happened this past week.

I'm late to this thread, but I'd love to join too. I need help too!

I lost 22 lbs last year (and managed to keep it off), but I'm trying to get rid of the last 5 (maybe 10?). And you're right, the last pounds are the worst!

I never did WW or any other program, but got excellent advice - from my skinny girlfriends. And their advice now that I'm down to the last 5? Double up my cardio workouts

Honestly, getting out to the gym every morning is bad enough, but the idea of going out TWICE IN ONE DAY is just .... crazy talk!

 

[BELLEDOZER]

Well, I finally got the dratted scale to work, and was shocked to discover that I've lost 10 lbs since I started my diet on Jan 7th. Hoping to keep it off when we go on vacation at the end of the week. Not stressed out about the packing, but would have lost an extra couple of pounds if I hadn't been pigging out on Chinese food these couple of days . What can I say, I live in the largest Chinatown in North America. Have a great day everyone!!

good Job everyone!!! I weigh in tomorrow morning ( my own weigh in at home) I am alittle worried as I ate like crap this whole weekend! I tried to stay within points but i did use up all my 35 free ones as well so we will see! if I stayed even I will be happy, if I lost I will be super happy! If I gained I will buckel down this week to make up for it aaaack!

Might just be water retention. chips are loaded with salt - salt retains water...You will have the same affect if you have soup high in sodium.

Dont sweat it...Keep moving forward!

Hee Hee I hear you ! I have two young kids and Im lucky if I can find time 3 times a week to work out..and that is like - taking a walk...and I used to RUN 1/2 marathons. So I hear ya...I would love to be that in shape again, but I am also loving this time in my life when Im a mom with kids who love and need me...I know the pounds will drop off with work.. Great work everyone!

Dont sweat it...weight is never perfectly a downward trajectory...
If you are doing all the right things 90% of the time ...you will get rid of the excess weight....sometimes you hit a bump, but it may have nothing to do with how 'perfect' you ate...could be salt, could be hormones...just kinda say HMMMM...INteresting...you know your doing what needs to be done...just keep doing it...

Can I join too?
I did WW three years ago and managed to loose about 15 lbs. I had to quit going because I had no $$$. Now, I have joined WW online, but have not checked it out yet.
Also, my DS 13 bought the P90X on the weekend because he was channel surfing and saw the add. We went to a seen it on TV store and bought it for $80. I want to start doing this also, but because I am so heavy (waaaay over 200 ), I will have to go slower. We viewed it last night just to see what it was all about, and it actually has different levels at the same time.
I need a lot of discipline to stay on track. I really do not make bad food choices, I just need to get off my a** and start exercising to remove the fat from my body.
I quit smoking at New Years, and I really have had no horrible withdrawl symptoms. I guess it is because I mentally prepared myself waaay before.
I also broke my foot about a year ago. I had a horrible recovery, and my right foot still looks weird.
So, after saying all that, I hope this thread will give me the motivation to keep at it!!!
Congrats to those who have had weight loss already!!

Hope everyone is having a good Monday!

puppyears, WTG on quitting smoking!!!

 

[wannago2disney]

Hope that everyone else managed a good week.

 

[Joann]

so I thought I could ask everyone how do you deal with STRESS.?

it does make me want to nibble (and smoke) but so far doing ok...Dday MIGHT be 3-01-09...until then Im twisting in the wind...not a good place to be when you are trying to form strong healthy habits...

I want to day congrats to all of you that have lost weight and for those of you who have gained or stalled keep at it because it's the end result that matters.

As for me I have been hanging around the same weight. It all depends on they day lol. But I have lost 3 lbs since we first started this whole thing the beginning of January. So only 17 more lbs until I get to my first goal weight of 199 lbs, and 2 lbs from loosing 20 lbs .

So Diser's keep up the wonderful work!

 

[mississaugamom]

I've just read through this whole thread, and I'm inspired by the efforts you're all making and the support you give each other!

My trip to WDW isn't until August, so I've got time to make a serious difference in my weight before the trip.

I've also got a lot of weight to lose though ... Started weightwatchers two weeks ago and lost 5.5 pounds at my first weigh-in. Second one coming up tomorrow ...

Looking forward to seeing less of me with you all!
