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

[gellybean]

Morning everyone!


I'm down - 3.4 this week.

Finally!!!

That should put me, if my calculations are correct at a total loss of 5.2 since this thread started.


I'm finally gonna get the palm tree!!! YAY!!

This also puts me down 14 lbs since we got back from Disney Jan 20th! Course I lost about 5 of that just being home and off the deluxe dining plan!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weigh in day!! Good luck to all!!

I had a big gain last week and double'd it in a loss this week. Our bodies can be fickle!! So hang in there!!

I'm +2 . I didn't have a good weekend (again) foodwise, but I thought I'd done ok. I will say today when I woke up, I was blessed with my monthly visitor, so that could be some of it. I guess we'll see next week. I think that takes me back to a loss of 7 since the beginning of this thread. I was at 9 last week and was so hoping to lose at least 1 more this week to get up to 10 lost, but it just wasn't meant to be.

NO CHANGE! +/- 0
I really thought I'd be up - another tough weekend eating! But I'm sure not complaining. Anyone ever have an experience where you get on the scale and it says one weight, go take a shower, get on again and it's 1.5 less???!!! That happened to me this morning. I'm going with the lesser weight! HA! I think that gets me to 5 lbs lost!!

I still have to figure out a weekend strategy. Maybe try to exercise more. I just don't eat as well. I plan better when I'm working - good lunches for sure. But two baseball games in four days was a bit dangerous! I was okay yesterday until my kids couldn't finish their melting ice cream. I felt like I "HAD" to finish it or it would make a big mess. I couldn't just go dump it out. GRRRRR!
Brought my walking gear to work again today - it's going to be beautiful out!!!
Plus we're doing a couple of projects at home - one I will be painting a bathroom and the other is landscaping/gardening. So hopefully that will = more activity.

Great job to all!!!
Must go PM Dawn.

Not sure if this will help you on your weekends, but I have found that I do better on Saturday if I start the day with some kind of exercise. This Saturday, I got up early and even before coffee, went out and walked 30 minutes, some Saturdays I will do the Wii workout or just do some crunches and jumping jacks. Some how that gets my day started on a better track. The Saturdays that I don't do this, I seem to really do bad with my eating.

Sundays are harder because everyone just wants to get up and have a lazy morning and dh tends to leave out on Sunday mornings (truckdriver), because of that I don't always have the time to do it right then. So there are Sundays that I more than make up for the good eating I did on Saturday!!

Good job to those of you that had losses this week!
For those that didn't, keep the faith! You can do it for next week!
I had a hard time today on my first weigh in, I'm up to a weight I said I'd never be at again and I hadn't even realized it! This makes me even more determined for this coming week. It being my birthday and all that was ate didn't help, but I am eating better this week for sure!!

 

[Stacybaeasm]

happy Monday morning all! I"m glad to see all the above posts. We have some good losses and above all, everyone is still here and still posting. I know this is the longest I've managed to stick with a new eating plan in several years!

I feel pretty good today, I am -3.9for the week. I am so excited because I have now officially lost more than 10 pounds. I only have about 12 more to go before I am at the lowest weight I've seen in 6 years. I can do this - WE can do this. I can't wait to check back later and see how everyone is doing.

 

[albertamommyof4]

I was down 1.5lbs as of Friday so -1.5 this week
Good morning ladies
Good job on the weight losses. And with the gains just think it is a new week and it will come off.
I did good this weekend and i went and bought wii fit plu and tried it last night and had fun lol
Have a good day ladies.

Hi all. For all the newcomers - please pm me your starting weights! Then each Monday send me your current weight.

If you want to post here your plus, minus or same...that is awesome!


***I am in NCAA he!! and will try and get here later on.

Treyner needs 24 credits in order to be eligible for soccer by next fall.

But - 18 of those credits have to be in the regular fall/spring coursework. Up to 6 can be earned this summer.

Only 4 credits transferred from Ft. Lewis to Anderson but he shows 12 credits earned at Ft. Lewis. Only 4 were accepted by Anderson but Joe Blow college down the block might have accepted 8 or all 12 - each college/university can decide what classes will transfer. So does the NCAA go by college classes earned or only what your current school shows in it's progress towards a degree?

That will determine where we go from her and if question #2 is important which is -

Does he need more credits and if so, will online classes that begin in May and end in June count towards spring which all the ones Anderson offers does. NCAA opens after noon for questions, registrar says yes, coach says no...stupid lady who is compliance coordinator at Anderson will not return a phone call.

If they do not count and he does need a 3 credit course for spring semester, another school offers online classes that do transfer to Anderson and it is a 10 day cram class which starts and ends in May. But then you need a sign off from advisers etc. - to verify that the class will transfer and it will count towards his credit load - but does not help his GPA. Anything transferred in does not help your GPA ever.

He only needs a 1.8 his Freshman year for NCAA eligibility, which he better have, but there again is another wrench to consider when looking at this whole puzzle.

Shoot me now - scholarship and eligibility on the line and ya need to make the right choice or he is stewed...ugh... I totally know why some people have "agents" for their college athlete students...too much to pay attention to.

 

[tlenzendorf]

Yikes Dawn!!! Good luck with that!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Dawn! What a PITA!!!! good luck and feel free to disregard my PM about unrelated PTR stuff. I can tell you're busy!!
Crossing fingers for you and Treyner!

maybe this will help too!

 

[stitchfan23]

Dawn, I hope you get it all sorted out soon. I had a hard time just following it never mind living it.

Bad week for me this week. I ate out twice this week and I knew it would kill me plus I missed some of my exercise days. I am +0.9 this week.

Hope everyone has a great week and I will say hello to the "big cheese" himself for you all. See you when I get back.

Can you tell I'm a little excited!

 

[njtinkmom]

Hi guys! Hope everyone had a great week!! Even though I am really not monitoring weight right now with the stress etc., I am still trying to make reasonably good choices and watch portions. So for kicks on got on the scale and I am down 7 POUNDS!!!! now of course this is probably stress weight, I sometimes forget to eat - hubby keeps reminding, I almost passed on Friday night in the mall - all I had was a yogurt and 100 calorie bagel all day - not good I know. Especially for a known hypoglycemic!! Friday is the big court day - hopefully I will get good news - the kids are really starting show wear and tear with all of this and want to be with me sooo bad. It is heart wrenching!

Best wishes to everyone and congrats on all your victories!

Have a GREAT time!!! Tell Mickey I'll be there in 100 days!!

 

[Stacybaeasm]

Dawn - wow. Just wow. And I thought everything would be ok once Treynor got to Anderson. Can I take the online class for Treynor? If it's something up my alley, I'd be willing to help him cheat a system which is stupid. Let me know if you need to vent or anything. I'm here for you. It must be something about this Monday. I just had an actor call and quit for the 1st show. We start rehearsals in 3 weeks!!!! And we booked his plane tickets on Wednesday. Nice. I can't wait until the ARtistic Director gets in so I can be the one to break the bad news.

Njtiknmom - good luck with the court date! Remember, you HAVE to take care of yourself in order to be able to take care of your family. I know it will all work out because your kids deserve the best in life and that is clearly you!

 

[ancestry]

I am down one pound for the week and down 16 pounds overall. Honestly I am surprised to see a loss at all as I really got back into the weight training this week after being sick and injured for the previous 2 1/2 weeks.

Dawn - good luck with everything! Just reading that made my head hurt. lol!

 

[Dizneydawn]

Dawn! What a PITA!!!! good luck and feel free to disregard my PM about unrelated PTR stuff.

Sent you back some ideas!!

I am so proud of everyone!!!!! Yeah us!!!! I still have not got on the scale!!!!

 

[Moosemomma]

Seeing as I just joined this thread I will wait til next Monday to post weekly results. I strayed a bit off track yesterday with a bridal shower and last night when DH made brownies BUT I made better choices for breakfast at Cracker Barrel yesterday morning (oatmeal and bananas, only 1/2 of a muffin and a bite or two of DD's french toast). And, WW gives you an extra amount of points to use over the week if you need them so I think it'll all be ok.

WTG to the losers this week! And to those that didn't, keep your chin up and move on. What's done is done, no point in continuing to beat yourself up over it. Learn from it and make the necessary changes for success this week.

Bless your heart and his!!

I always thought there should be a liason in every college's athletic department to work with the athletes and their parents on making sure all of this is completed and correct and all of that. I have often wondered how they expect most people to navigate all of that stuff. After ds graduated hs and we ran hip deep into the world of college baseball, I too discovered why some parents had agents for their kids; before that I thought they were all nuts!!
