WISH check in thread, week of January 4, 2004

[SnackyStacky]

Good morning everyone!

I haven't had a weigh-in, cause my weigh-in day is on Thursday but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be REALLY up. I was down going into the holidays. I was at about 184, and I want to be 187 or so, so I left myself some room to gain, but I think I was too comfortable with that idea!

I'm trying to get back on plan, but boy is it hard!

So how is everyone else doing??

 

[DoeWDW]

Dan, good luck getting back on the program! I know you can do it - you've come so far already. Even if you gain a little extra, you know exactly what to do to make it disappear quickly. You'll get the hang of maintenance - it takes practice and a bit of trial and error.

I was 131 last Sunday and am at 130 today. I've started training for the 2005 WDW half marathon and I'm afraid I'm going to be adding muscle so the scale won't move. I'll be looking more at my measurements for lost inches to see if I'm on the right track.

 

[Jiminy102]

Well after not being on plan for at least 4-5 months or more I was up 8 lbs. from my all time lo!! well I lost 2 this week so I am still up 6 but hey I have gotten 3 days op under me so I am off to a good start!! YOu can do it Dan!!!! Good luck everyone!!

 

[firecracker]

I haven't checked in for awhile...only because I've been busy, had surgery right before Christmas, and haven't been moving the scale a whole lot lately!

But, I am down 2 since the last time I checked in...I'm now down to 167...15-17 more pounds to go!

Also, waiting for surgeons clearance to begin training for the Indy Mini Marathon in May and the Disney half in Jan '05!

Have a great week!

Let it snow!!!!!!!!!!

things are good here, no weigh in until thursday, but seems to me my pants a big looser? Could this happen on 4 days of Atkins, who knows, but it's all good, I'm in ketosis, DH is not yet, but that reminds me he didnt check today..he just may be.

Haven't cheated yet, going to go now and change my clippie to 3 days cheat free. I'll post in Thursday what the weight and measurements come out to after 7 days of induction.

My goals aren't based on weight (and since I avoid scales like the plague, I have no idea what I weigh), but I will check-in saying that I completed the first week of the "Couch to 5K Training Program".

Haven't been eating as well as I'd like, but that will be my second goal this week...

 

[nancyj_pa]

I maintained again last week. We ate out New Year's Eve, and babysat the grandchildren all week and ate out a lot with them. I missed quite a bit of water and my routine was all messed up. So I guess I did all right by maintaining.

DH and I have had a touch of the flu or something the last few days. Sore throats, cough, etc. But I hope to be back to normal by tomorrow.

Hi Gang.......just got back on the Atkins wagon yesterday after being off for a few months and I gained back about 8 pounds.

I lost 3.5lbs. yesterday so I know I am off to a good start so now I am only over my all time low by 4.5lbs. I know I can get back there by the end of the week.....I would love to hear how everyone else is doing....

My disney Beau is counting calories and started yesterday as well....he is gradually working his way to lower calories every week but he started not too much higher than what I thought he should be at yesterday and he lost 1.5lbs yesterday after being off his plan a few months as well and he had gained about 10 pounds...... so we both have some ground to cover.

So we are both on our way folks.......I would like to lose somewhere between 30-35 more. I will have to decide that once I get closer....

I think my first 30 pound weight loss took off the puffiness and swolleness that I had gotten and I am hoping the next 30 gets me to thin again.....Good luck to everyone and I will keep you all posted!!!!!!

Have A Disney Day!!!!!

I'm down 1.4 for the week. I was SHOCKED when I stepped on the scale this morning because I've been UP 3 lbs the whole week. I'll take that 1.4 especially after all my cheating on NYE! Now it's time to get serious and get rid of these pounds!! My resolution for this week is to drink more water. I had been doing very well at drinking 7-8 16 oz bottles a day but the past couple weeks I've been barely getting in 4 bottles. This week I'm going to get back into that 7-8 routine I know that helps with my weight loss. Onward and downward my WISH friends - Have a great week!

 

[addicted_to_WDW]

I've been rather unmotivated for the past couple of weeks, so I was surprised to see a 2 pound loss since my last weigh in (which I think was 2 weeks ago but I don't remember). My total loss to date is 64, 53 of it on WISH.

I'm just 2 pounds from Onederland!!!

 

[LisaTx]

That's awesome, Jen! Getting to ONEderland will really help that motivation.

I'm down 2.6 lbs this week. Just 1.3 more until my 50 lb clippie. I can't wait for that one. I'll be at my official half way mark then.

 

[Otto's Doll]

I was at my lowest on New Year's Day, but have indulged since then (even had chinese! oh the sodium!) and haven't checked since. However, I will weigh in (and be honest ) on Wednesday morning, and post then.

 

[Mom of Sleepy Bashful and BabyDoc]

Hey Everyone!

Well I'm back on the Lo-carb wagon and boy does it feel good. This is my second day and I can tell I haven't had as many blood sugar swings already. (So why do I go off plan?.....it only makes me feel horrible )

But I do feel the headache! At least I know I'm doing something right since I have that reaction. Just took 2 tylenol .......should be over soon.

As far as I can tell I'm up like 12 pounds!!Yikes! But I'm not discouraged. I feel like I've had a big slap in the face and I needed it! Nothing like facing reality. I hope to report good news next week.

Good job to everyone!


2004 is going to be MY YEAR!! Here I come.................

 

[QueenTrident]

I weighed in officially on Saturday, a day short of my last weigh in and was down 1.2 pounds. Weighed at home today and was down another 1. But, officially, it's only 1.2 pounds. I was hoping for a little more on my first week of full-fledged WW, but I'll take what I can get.

Have a great week!

 

[tiggerlover]

I am checking in a day early, since I don't think a day will make that much of a difference. I am up 3.5 lbs. this week and up a total of 5.4 from my all time low on 12/15. I knew I was bad for the holidays and today I am back in the saddle!

I am giving myself a week and then I will adjust my clippie to whatever my weigh in is next week.

 

[WDWLVR]

I'm down 1 lb. this week and up only .5 lb from my all time low since I started. I'm at the same weight as I started December with as the month was up one week and down the next. Not bad considering the holidays and all.

Now that I've got that behind my I'm going to get back on track! I hope to start doing my WATP tapes again. The past couple of weeks I've been working later and haven't had the energy when I get home. Hopefullly I can push myself to do it because I know I'll feel better when I do.

So here's to all my WISH friends. A new week, a new year, a new you!

 

[bubie2.5]

I maintained this week, 191 pounds for the second week in a row... but I was a bad girl for new year's, so I should be happy I didn't gained weight.

I'm back on track, so, get ready one 5 pound clippie for me!!

 

[lulu201]

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm down a pound from last week. I thought it would be more, but I think I used too many flex points too close to my weigh in. Oh, well, now I know.

Have a great week, everyone!

Erin

 

[sharoncity]

I'm up 1 lb. today! Not bad considering I maintained through the rest of the holidays, but the scale is not supposed to be going up!
Anyhow, I was very good yesterday, did lots of walking, so hopefully I'm off to a good start this week. I really need to push myself to get the exercise in this week. I'm counting on that to give me the jump start I need!
Have a great week!

 

[Susan--Ontario]

Happy New Year Everyone,

Well, I've decided to start checking in again. My surgery is done and Christmas is over so I need to start paying closer attention once again. I am happy to say that I have stayed the same and not gained. I did go up and down two or three pounds over the past few months but that is just normal body chemistry.

I find that I really need to check in in order to stop myself from saying "I'll start again tomorrow".

I hope that the New Year finds everyone healthy and ready to go.

Have a super day!!
