WISH check in for week of August 17th

Okay, I've been bad and good. The bad is that I haven't checked in here in a couple of weeks. School started back on 8/4 and I just have been too tired to write a complete sentence!! I finally have my first grade babies a little on schedule and in a routine so I am not quite so exhausted!

But the good is that I have been plugging away at WW and am down to a WISH total of 26.6 and a WW total of 56.6!

I promise to post here more often and give back some of the support y'all share with me!!
 
Checking in! I was hoping to be celebrating a new 50 pound clippie in my siggy but it wasn't meant to happen this week I guess. I did lose 1.5 pounds this week! WOO HOO!!

Onward and downward we shall all go!
 
I had my first gain since I started WW ... I blame the power outage :p We actually had the opposite problem of many people, we had an empty fridge because we do our grocery shopping on Thursday evening or Friday morning. So for two days, there wasn't very much to eat in the house ... :( Of course ... the local pizza store was open (they run their ovens on natural gas) so I reluctantly ate pizza for lunch ... :rolleyes: and then hamburgers and fries for dinner that night. Ugh!

I guess I don't feel too bad since I only went up by 0.6 pounds ... I will just work harder this week to lose the weight. :p
 
<b>ebaynut31</b> Good job. That 5 pound loss clippie is practically in your signature already. Losing .5 pounds in one week is good progress and I see you appreciate that fact, too.

Have a <b>magical</b> trip. I'm sending you a pm. I'll be in Orlando next week and I'd love to meet you.

<b>bigsis1970</b> Enjoy your camping trip. Make the best choices food choices you can but don't obsess, just have as much fun as possible and make some wonderful memories.

<b>lovingthemouse</b> WOW! Losing 17 pounds in two weeks is amazing progress. Good for you! You are just tearing up that road to goal.

My sil tried the Atkins shakes and didn't like them. You might like them, though. Why don't you try one and see? You could make up some low carb waffles and freeze them then all you would have to do is pop one in the toaster in the mornings before school. You could precook bacon and just pop a couple of pieces into the microwave for 30 seconds or so while your waffle is toasting.

This is a really good topic. You should post about it on WISH, I'll bet you get lots of advice and suggestions for quick and easy breakfasts.

<b>ohiominnie</b> I think that gaining .5 pounds can probably be blamed on the bloat fairy, don't you? The most important thing isn't how much you weigh but that you lost body fat. That is <i>wonderful</i> and that is your true goal, after all, right? I think you are doing great and I'm proud of you.

Thanks for posting to the check in thread this week. It shows your determination and it makes <i>me</i> feel motivated. I just love how that works.

It's bittersweet to have to give away brand new clothes that are now too large for you, isn't it? But don't you just feel proud that you have had to do that? I'm proud <i>of</i> you.

<b>welovedis</b> Bless your heart. Food allergies are no fun. At least now you know what to avoid so hopefully you will soon be feeling much better.

It's good to see you posting to the check in thread again. Don't stay away so long again, please. We miss seeing you here :)

<b>campingcorgi</b> Look at you! I love that 25 pound loss clippie in your signature, it looks great on you. You are doing so well, though, that I imagine that you will be trading up to that pretty gold 30 pound clippie very soon, so don't get to attached to this one.

I'm glad that the school year is getting a little calmer so that you can visit WISH a little more often. Be proud of yourself, I'm so proud <i>of</i> you, you are doing a great job.

<b>geetey</b> Did you know that I secretly call you SG when I see a post by you? It's true (oops, not a secret anymore, though). SG=Sweetey Geetey :teeth: Know why? Because of your <i>attitude</i>! You have the greatest positive attitude. It's so motivating. That great attitude of yours is going to help you to goal, you can't help but succeed with an attitude like that.

You will have that pretty platinum 50 pound loss clipart very soon, I'm sure. Can't wait to see it in your signature!

<b>bunnyfoo</b> I don't think that .6 pounds is a true gain, do you? I'll bet it's fluid retention caused by eating that pizza and those salty fries. I'll bet it's gone very soon and I'll bet it takes a pound or two of fat with it when it leaves.

I'm proud of you for checking in here this week even though you didn't see a lost reflected on the scale. That shows me that you are determined and that you have chutzpa. I hope you are feeling proud of yourself. I think you are doing a great job.
 

Woo-hoo!

I weighed in at 138.5 today and Ross was 198! That's GREAT considering the weekend we had last weekend! No unscheduled cheats for us this week and for the weekend we only have a cheat planned at a cookout tomorrow! I'm really hoping Ross will have a visit from the Woosh Fairy next Friday!

Great thread, as usual. Lots of wonderful progress, lots of uplifting posts and it's so great to see so many people checking in!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
 
Ok, I rejoined WW last Thursday and I lost 2.4 this week! I'm really happy to be back on track. Last spring I lost over 25 lbs., I took a few months off this summer and now I'm ready to lose more. It's nice to see everyone's progress!!!
 
I just had to say...Way to go EVERYONE!! I came back to check on the posts. I am so glad good and bad posters are posting.

I needed inspiration as we are planning a bigger eating weekend than normal. I know I can do this and still keep myself on track--you know, rationing my poison.

I have been doing great all week in anticipation of this weekend. I have even started to add exercise to this eating routine and as much as I find it all boring, I am doing some movement things. I feel great about all of it.

DH just called me from doctors visit. He is down pounds, as I posted earlier, and his blood pressure is wayyyy down. Doc lowered his meds--Yeah!!! I expect he will have great cholesterol report as well.

This works! Keep on keepin' on. Get your mind in it and do it for you. You are worth it!
 
End of Week 15, lost 4-lbs. from 290 to 286 for total 42 lbs.. Another slow loss month.

I'm almost through with my reviews of eating at WDW, and then I'll post them.

The past several weeks I have been eating Atkin's chocolate 2-gram Endulge candy bars, and Atkin's 3-gram Advantage bars, and Atkin's 4-gram ice cream. I'm addicted to them now. I'm sure that I am overdoing it and it is slowing my weight loss. Oh well. At least I'm still staying 15-grams per day and not cheating.

God bless, best wishes, and encouragement to everyone trying so hard to lose, maintain, and getting back on the wagon.

<b>TigH</b> Good job, Karen! Congratulations to Russ, too. You are both doing so well. Your success and determination are an inspiration for me.

You are just zeroing in on your goal and it's fun to watch. I'm so proud of you.

<b>jlawall</b> I'm so proud of your new determination. You are newly focused on your goal and you're going to do great.

Welcome back, I missed seeing you around WISH.

<b>RaySharpton</b> I think you're doing great, Ray. I don't consider 42 pounds lost in 15 weeks to be slow progress. That's almost 3 pounds a week gone forever, my friend. Be happy and be proud of yourself. You are working your way to goal steadily and surely and I'm very happy and proud <i>for</i> you.

I'm glad you are part of my support group, you are a shining example of success for me.

<i>Hmmmm, guess where I'm going to eat in about 1/2 hour? Jiko. Wonder how Atkins friendly that place is going to be? I'm going to make the best choices possible but this is a "treat" offered by a friend so I could not say no. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Onward and downward!

I have changed my WW day to SAturdays since I've been working late during the week for the Summer. I am down 1.8 lbs!!
Congratulations to all the losers out there and dont give up to everyone else! I've been yo-yoing for the past few weeks, maybe this'll keep down.
