WISH Check In Thread Week of February 22, 2004

[SnackyStacky]

How did everyone do????

I'm up 2 point something, but I don't recall what exactly. My soon-to-be mother-in-law bought us a treadmill and I've been doing an hour on it everyday, and have been following the losing plan to get back down to my ever-so comfy 187.

Have a great week everyone! Onward and downward, as we always say!

I'm up 1.8 lbs this week. I even lost my clippie I earned last week. I was on plan all week, drank my water, etc. Only thing I did different this week was how I broke up my calories (more in the morning and less in the evening) and staying off the scale for the whole week. The only downfall I guess to staying off the scales all week and not getting an idea of where you are, is that you have no idea what to expect. I only gained .6 lbs at Thanksgiving so I have no idea what's going on here. Can't even blame the Bloat Fairy. Oh well - will keep my fingers crossed for a better week next week.

 

[Disfan1]

I lost the .5 lb I needed to for a new clippie! The Bloat Fairy has been here the past couple of days so I was worried about keeping my weight down until check-in.

Here's my first check-in in. . . .let's just say a while . I am still up a bit from my low, but I that's okay. I've been hibernating, and it is now time to get back on track for the second half of this journey. We've got a half-marathon to get ready for, right?

It's nice to see the old names mixed with the new. Oh, and one thing that I didn't let slide was the exercise. It hasn't been as much as I've been used to, but I HAVE kept up the 3x a week minimum. So, I haven't lost it ALL.

Dan, good for you with the treadmill. Ours broke and even if I didn't use it a lot, I've missed it.

kayeandjim, you don't have to lose your clippie because of a small gain! You'll be back to where you were last week before you can say, "Checkyourscaletomorrowbecausethisgainwasafluke!"

disfan1, your clippie looks great. Congratulations!

Have a good week, everyone.

Weigh to go!

This is my first time for a weekly check-in.
I lost 1 pound last week. At first it bothered me - only a pound - but I'm over that now. That's a rate of over 50 pound in a year! I hereby committ this week to exercise daily and remain at 25 carb grams per day.

 

[luvmydogs]

Hi everyone! I weighed in at 125 lbs. this morning, still maintaining my goal weight of 123-125!

A big congrats to al the losers/maintainers, and a big hug of encouragement to anyone who may feel they need it... Put the past behind you, don't get discouraged, and focus on the good things you're going to do for yourself and your body--it's a brand new week!

 

[honeymo78]

I'm up a pound this week which is okay since I didn't stick to plan this week.

 

[CarolA]

I am up a pound.
I think it is due to too many Pria bars and reduced carb treats and not enough REAL food. I don't know why I could not get motiviated to do things. (I think it was because I was bored at work. This week I have THREE major projects so that should not be a problem!)

 

[ZerasPride]

First I want to say congrats to the all the losers and maintainers out there in WISH land and give some encouraging vibes and hugs to those that have gained. That can be so frustrating but you are here and sticking to your plans and that's all that matters.

I am happy to say I lost 2 pounds this week! Cutting out the desserts at night, even though they are allowed on SBD has really made a difference, I feel. I'm just one pound from my 35 pound clippie and hope to grab it next week.

Have a good week everyone and may we all report a lose next week!

 

[Baileymouse]

Maintained this week at 217. Hoping for more of a loss next week, lol.

Happy losing, everyone!

 

[trola2]

I was down 2.1 this week, but still working toward my pre-Dec vacation low...almost there and hopefully I'll be back there this week!! Have a great week everyone! ~~Beth

 

[bubie2.5]

I mantained this week. But considering I ate everything under the sun yesterday, I'm ok with that.

Today I'm back on track.

 

[Lindamary123]

I am up 2 lbs. this week. Oh well, I'll try harder and drink more water.

Good luck to everyone!

 

[R_Judy]

Still the same. No change is better than up.

 

[maryliz]

Boy, am I ever getting good at this "maintenance thing" ... too bad I'm not at my goal weight where I'm supposed to be maintaining

I think the Jan-Feb blahs are just about over ... I notice a real difference in the air these days. And even as the freezing rain was pelting us in our faces while we did a 5 mile walk on Saturday morning, I kept telling myself that this too shall pass, and spring will be here soon

Here's hoping next week will be "downward" for us all !

I'm up 1/2 pound. I stopped counting my carbs, and starting guessing/estimating last week. Needless to say, I'm back to counting today! I'm going to up my exercise this week - my goal is 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week.

I'm pretty pround of myself in spite of the slight gain - I was at a birthday party that only served fruit, pizza and cake and I had not a bite of any of them! The chef happily made me an "Atkin's Special" and it wasn't even on the menu - a burger (no bun) and a generous serving of lettuce and tomato.

[KimRaye]

As of this morning's weigh-in, I have lost 20 lbs total!! I scared both my kids when I yelled out loud..."20, 20, 20"!!!

Gonna go get a new clippie!!! WooHoo!!!!

Here's to a good week for everyone!!

 

[maryeabq]

I'm down about 1.5 pounds this week. I was really excited because when I checked on Thursday I had gained 3 pounds. Maybe the earths gravitational pull was extremly high that day.

 

[CHARLADIZ]

Congrats to all who have lost and maintained! I lost 1.5 lbs this week. Only .5 to go to reach 10lbs. YEA!!! I have 13 weeks till my disney trip So IF I lose 1 lb a week I'll be one lbs above my goal.
Sounds easy on paper but boy it's hard work to get off that 1lb!!!
We can do it We can do it We can do it!!!!!!!
