WISH check in for week of August 17th

[mum4jenn]

Did not see a check in started for this week so I will start one.

I got on the scale yesterday and it showed 3 pounds and I was scared it was a dream.When I checked this morning it was at 3 1/2 pounds which gives me that beautiful GOLD clippie. I am excited!!!!!

Just remeasured and I have lost 2 more inches also!!!

 

[*Flower*]

I got on my scale this morning for my weekly weigh in......

AND............ I've gotton rid of another 2 pounds!!!!

Only 12 pounds so far, but me and my 10 pound clippie are now best friends!!!

I was hoping that I hadn't missed the weekly check in today....

The woosh fairy came and took away 2 1/2 lbs since yesterday. I finally got my 15 lb clippie!

 

[addicted_to_WDW]

I'm happy to report that after two straight weeks of maintaining, I lost 2.5 lbs this week.

I'm also thrilled to report that I went clothes shopping today and have dropped a size! I sat in the dressing room debating whether or not to go down a further size, because by the looks of things I'll only have a few more weeks in this size!

I don't have a weight or a size goal, other than that I want to be able to shop in any store, not just big mama ones.

I have maintained this week, and I am grateful. I'm having a hard time eating eggs this week. The first months I had no problem, but this week I've had to deal with the "burn" they cause. I am hopeful that I'll be able to manage this. I also started back to Curves, so I'm looking forward to good things!

<b>mum4jenn</b> Thanks for posting a check in thread for us, sweetie.

You did great this week! Did you enjoy your dinner at Outback? I love that place, so Atkins friendly and yummy.

Another 3.5 pounds gone forever. You are just racing to goal, aren't you? Are you feeling proud of yourself? You'd better be, all of your WISH friends are feeling proud <i>of</i> you.

<b>*Flower*</b> I don't know that I would use the words "only" and 12 pounds in the same sentence I think you're doing great! Losing 2 whole pounds in one week is just wonderful progress.

I'm so happy and proud for you. I hope you are feeling proud of yourself.

<b>LisaTx</b> WOO HOOOO!!!! You are tearing up that road to goal! Another 2.5 pounds gone forever. You've just got to love that Whoosh Fairy, huh?

Love your new clippie, <i>very</i> attractive. I can see that pretty smile of yours when I close my eyes. You're feeling pretty strong and proud of yourself, aren't you? I hope so, I'm sure proud <i>of</i> you.

<b>addicted_to_WDW</b> Good job, sweetie! Losing 2.5 pounds is wonderful progress, especially when you have spent a couple of weeks maintaining. You are doing great with this project.

The best part is seeing that you are getting smaller, huh? How exciting that is. Be proud, you are a great success and I'm proud <i>of</i> you!

<b>NCRedding</b> Maintaining is good. Not as much fun as losing but so much <i>more</i> fun than gaining, don't you think?

Don't eat eggs if they are giving you trouble. Eat left overs from dinner. Get some low carb cereals, make some low carb waffles. In fact, make a larger batch of waffles and freeze them so that all you have to do is pop them in the toaster when it is time for breakfast. It's a great breakfast (or dinner even).

You <i>are</i> measuring yourself regularly, right? If not, please measure yourself now. Sometimes we lose inches instead of pounds and that is my favorite kind of loss. Losing inches means you are getting smaller and who cares how much you weigh if you are getting smaller?

Hang in there, you're doing great.

<b>Disney_1derland</b> WOW! Look at you go! You are very successful with this way of eating. Losing 12.5 pounds in just two weeks is amazing progress.

Keep this up and you will be at goal before you know it. Be proud of yourself, we are all proud <i>of</i> you!

<i>I'm so glad to be able to reply to the check in thread, again. I've missed everyone so much and I especially missed reading about your progress.

Onward and downward, my friends. We are on our way to goal!</i>

[mum4jenn]

We have all certainly missed you too Katholyn. Glad your Mom is doing better.

We both really enjoyed Outbacks the other night. It was hard not eating that wonderful bread but my dd ate all of it!!! I never thought I would be able to eat steamed veggies without cheese but I actually ate most of my broccoli by just dipping it in melted butter that was left from my Lobster Tail. It was actually yummy!!

 

[firecracker]

I was on really early this morning and hadn't seen a check-in thread, so I'm glad that one was started!

I'm down 4 pounds this week! I'm so excited! 16 pounds on Atkins since 7/13 and 20 pounds total since 7/1!!

I've been faithful to exercise this week and I'm actually enjoying it! (Trust me, 2 months ago I would've been whining about it!)

This week will be a real test, though. We start school Tuesday, with all of us needing to be dressed, fed, and out the door by 7 am! I'm still hoping to exercise every morning, but that means I've got to be up by 5:15-5:30 at the latest!

I covet your prayers and pixie dust sprinklings!

 

[vfb2girls]

I am happy to report that I lost apound! Now that doesn't seem much but I am thrilled! I have such a stuggle to lose so this pound was a blessing. I also am proud of myself that I didn't give in to the temptation of the Krisp Kreme donuts that my daughter brought home. Great job to those who lost and stayed the same, and for those that didn't lose hang in there!

 

[PartyofSix]

Not a bad week but not so great either. I'm down another -1.50 for the week. I'm looking for a clippee change one day this week so i'm keeping my fingers crossed for the whoosh fairy to come and visit me.

 

[nativetxn]

<b>firecracker</b> Holy cowabunga! WOW. You've lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks? What wonderful progress you are making. You are certainly a DIS success story.

With your determination, I'll bet you give up a little sleep and keep up your workouts even after school starts. I can't imagine you allowing that part of your new healthy life to lag behind.

I'm so happy and proud for you. Be proud of <i>yourself</i>!

<b>vfb2girls</b> I think losing 1 pound in a week is a great accomplishment, don't you? Just think, that would be 52 pounds lost in one year if you did that every week. Now, <i>that</i> is <b>progress</b>.

I'm so proud of you for not succumbing to the temptation of a Krispy Kreme (I never saw what was so great about them but my husband used to eat a lot of them). That is an accomplishment to be proud of and I hope you are feeling proud of your strength and determination.

<b>PartyofSix</b> You are such a success and you lose weight so steadily, you amaze me. Good job. I'll bet you have that new clippie very soon.

I'm still hoping to earn a gold one, the platinum seems out of my reach but you prove to me that I can earn that one too. Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you? I'm really proud of you, too.

Onward and downward, my friends!

[DaddyDon]

So very happy to report i was able to go to the clippie room myself and snatch the 25 pound clippie!!!! A wonderful 3 pound loss this week!!!! A total of 26 pound gone forever!!!!!!! Hope every one has a great week,Onward and downward,Keep plugging away and keep on smileing

 

[Harambe]

Stayed the same - again! I could list excuse after excuse but it is stupid to blame. I just have to do it!

 

[becka]

I lost 1.5 pounds this week. I weighed in on Saturday to get my 35 lb. clippie but I get to add an additional 1/2 pound here today. This weigh-in also puts me at only one pound above my pre-pregnancy weight!

I had a pretty good week despite a few challenges. I was hoping to lose at least 2 pounds this week but I will take 1.5. This puts me at 35.5 pounds lost and only 4.5 pounds from my birthday goal of 40 lbs. 4.5 pounds is a lot for two weeks so I will need to be good this week.

This week will present a few challenges but I think I am up for them. This morning I am taking a commercial insurance test for work and I am pretty stressed about it since I have to pass. If for some reason I don't I am going to be pretty upset and will have to be very careful around food. I am also scheduled to meet DH for lunch today at one of two restaurants near where he works and both will present ample opportunities to cheat if I give in plus there is a goodie day at work on Wednesday! Hopefully my willpower will be strong enough and if not then I can fall back on my support here at WISH!

Have a great week everyone!!! Onward and downward!!!

 

[Baileymouse]

Good morning!

I am checking in to say I've lost a total of 5 more lbs. since joining up here about 2 weeks ago. My low-carb lifestyle (cominbed with the GBS) is working! I can't wait to get back to Disney in October - I just know I'm going to have more energy than ever before.

 

[bigsis1970]

Hi I have lost another 3 lbs so that makes 15 for me ! I am soo excited ( I am at 180 - I don't think I have been here in at least 3 years - I am just waiting to get down in the 170's its been more then 5 for that ! ) I have been on the 6 week body make over program now for 4 full weeks - altho the last 2 I haven't been following too good - I am more committed now that school will be starting up here and I have gone back to Curves now that summer is almost done and I have time - I think the next few weeks will be good ones for me.. Looks like so far everyone is doing a bang up job .. keep it up Michelle

Kath, Glad to hear your mom is doing well ! great to have you back Michelle

 

[Beastlover]

After holding for a couple of weeks, surgery held me back, I am pleased to report a 3 pound loss this week!! That puts me 2 pounds away from the GOLD by Labor Day, and 4 pounds away from halfway to goal!!!
Kath, great to see you around again!! Prayers and Pixie Dust to you, your mom and your family!!

 

[bliss4us]

I've put on a pound...

My words for the week? Portion control.

I love the Paleolithic Diet - I feel stronger and healthier than I ever have, but it's not set up to be a weight loss program per se, more a method for healthier living.

Soooo, I'm thinking of switching to Weight Watchers. I can still eat all the foods I'm eating with the Paleolithic Diet, but will have a better idea of "when to say when."

We'll see what happens then. I start today. Got myself all set over the weekend. Here we go!!!

[arizonacolbys]

I'm down 1 pound from last Monday. Not too bad - considering I wasn't good over the weekend. Back on track today, though. Can't wait to get my first clippie! Good luck to everyone this week!
