When Did I Get Voted Off of Skinny Island & Why is This Fat Shadow Stalking Me?

[hanutedmansionmomma]

Weight stayed the same this week...

I think the difference is I stopped food journaling because I thought I could keep track in my head! Off to get my pencil and paper out

I had good news and not-so-great news this week. The good news is that I did really well and lost. The not-so-great part is that we got a new scale which has been weighing 2 to 3 pounds heavier than the old one. Since the newer scale seems to be more accurate, I think it would be best to use it from this point forward. So with that being said, this week's results are:

-1.8 pounds

I managed to lose .2 pounds this week. I'm pretty happy with that since I was traveling and I haven't logged my food at all since before I left town. I also haven't done any exercise since the half marathon and it's time to get back to training. I'm doing half marathons the first two weekends of May and I'm starting to get really worried about doing them only one week apart. I just don't understand how all of those Goofy runners do it!

I'm setting two goals for this week so that I can get back on track:

1. track my food everyday
2. exercise at least 4 times this week

I'm down -2 this week!!
It's sort of funny - I get on the scale and don't believe it. I think there's something wrong with me (and the scale!). I hardly ever go down! Why am I losing weight? is what I'm thinking. Oh, yeah, I was actually trying harder this time!!! LOL
Honestly, I haven't been trying as hard - less exercise than the week before. But I'm really watching my food choices. I'm just eating less and choosing better foods.
Maybe my body finally realized that I was not trying to starve it and it's letting me lose some weight! YAY!

Hope all of you have another great week!

I'm so proud of everyone here. It doesn't matter which way the numbers go the point is that everyone is trying. I know my dinners the last 2 days weren't great but I am ok with that. That being said I am..

-1.5lbs this week.

Have a great week everyone and Dawn I hope you are having a great vacation.

I'm down 1 more this week for a total of 7.5. Not a huge loss, but I keep trying to remember the saying posted above about what a difference just one pound a week can make!

I was happy with just the one though because I had a bad day yesterday. I was one of the chaperones taking our church youth group to go lazer tagging. It was fun, but of course we ate pizza for supper. I had 2 smallish pieces where before I would have had more I"m sure, so that is a plus.

Hope everyone else had good weeks and here's to looking forward to this week!!

Dawn if you happen to stop by here your PM box if full. I tried to PM you my info and it said your box is full. I have emailed you the info instead.

Congrats to everyone for a great week!!!! It looks like everyone did really well. Not that the numbers matter. As someone above said - we're here and that's what counts.

-1.7 for me!!!
Not that I deserve it at all. I really felt like I had a bad week - no excercise and poor food choices along the way BUT I won't turn my nose up at it either. Any loss is fine by me. And I think I have finally cracked that 5 pound mark!!

Dawn, I tried to PM you but your box was full. I sent you an email with my weight instead. I'll try again to PM you later to see if you emptied anything out.

I had to send an email too...

I am up this week, I think 1.6 pounds? (Math is hard!) I have not been doing well at all and it is time to get a grip - we are going to Vegas May 6 and I would like to be down before then! At least 5 pounds if not 10. I just need to move more, my eating has been fine but with my knee (I am pretty sure it is tendonitis) I've been sitting on my rear end too much. So I'm just not getting the calorie burn I need.

I was bad this weekend and it shows, +1 for the week. I am feeling that pound so this week I am really going to buckle down and make better food choices. Dawn, I will try to PM you later otherwise will email you tonight.

This is so true! When I get discourage about "only a pound" I take out a pound of butter (i.e. four sticks) put them on the counter and say to myself THAT is what you are NO longer carrying around. I always feel better after that because the four sticks of butter makes one pound seems like a LOT more than just a number. KWIM?

That is a great visual for losing "just" one pound!

I want to lose 6 pounds by May 8th. We can be goal buddies!

Way to go everyone and woooo hooo at all those losses!!! I am at my mom's and on a different scale. When I weighed in the night I got here I weighed 7 lbs more than my weigh in weight last weel. This morning I was down 5.2 lbs from the weight the first night here. So I don't know what to think. I'm gonna pit a gain of 1.8. The difference from my last week's weigh in and my mom's scale this morning. I am hopign because of the big difference on night one this means a loss for this week!

I found this thread over the weekend and started reading it. I love how everyone is supportive. I was up to page 16 last night when they shut down the boards for maintenance. I didn't realize you were already up to page 55 - WOW.

I'll keep lurking...

I got on the Wii Fit board and today it says I'm down 2.2 lbs (from last Monday's weight)... interesting fluctuations, but I'll take it!

It's never too late to join the party boat as we sail toward Skinny Island!!!

Welcome aboard!!!

Thanks for letting me come along...

I could really use some help with losing my weight for the LAST time. I’ve already lost between 55 – 60lbs on WW (started in 2005 and lost it in about 2 ½ years), but I’ve been on a plateau for the last two years. I lost my motivation and have been yo-yo-ing with the same 5lbs. I should be good at maintenance because I’ve been stuck at this weight for so long. I’m tired of not feeling good about myself. I was doing WW at work, but I really don’t share a lot at the meetings (I’ve got to be in meetings with these people; don’t really want to spill my guts to them).

Here are my stats:

First Name and Screen name: Jane/2_Eagle_Mom

What your Goal Is for Fitness: I always said I didn’t have an actual number that I was reaching for, but if I were to use the WW chart I need to lose 55lbs.
Food that you Find Hardest to Eat in Moderation: White stuff – potato (regular and chip form) pasta, bread, etc

Favorite Good Food for You: Fruit

Favorite Form of Exercise: I really hate to exercise; I guess if I had to pick something I’d say walking.

What Your Goal is For Yourself when you get to Skinny Island: Like a lot of you, I’d like to be able to walk into a department store and NOT head towards the Women’s (AKA Fat Department). To wear shorts and a sleeveless shirt or even better yet a swimsuit without feeling like I have to find a tent to cover myself up. I also want to believe my husband when he says I look good.

Family: DH Jim we were high school sweethearts – celebrated our 25th anniversary last year. DS Steven (23) and DS Brendan (20)

I jumped from page 16 to page 41 to catch up on the latest.
