WISH check in thread, week of January 4, 2004

[Baileymouse]

I am holding steady at 231. I am ticked off at myself for grazing so much, so I'm going to do better!!!!

I really need to get back to exercising more. 3x a week at Curves isn't enough - and combined with the grazing, I have been sabotaging myself. Onward and downward!

I didn't eat one hamburger or Hot dog the whole time at WDW and didn't miss them at all!

I lost 1 pound this week (was hoping for a bit more but I think the no sugar added ice cream and the popcorn did me in a bit). I have earned my beautiful new 20 pound clippie so that's a good thing.

I plan to cut out the extras and get back to the basics of the South Beach diet. I do like my whole grains so I'll still have oatmeal and my whole grain flakes for breakfasts but that's about it for the additional carbs.

Onward and downward!

Checking in to report that, as of Monday morning, I am up 2 pounds. Onward and downward I will go!

Good to see so many familiar faces who haven't been around for a while! Welcome back!

Today is the 1 yr anniversary of my gall bladder surgery AND the start of my weight loss program. As I see it I'm half way to my goal. I started back on induction on 1/1, & so far I've not only halted any potential weight gain from the holidays, but as of this AM I've lost 2 more lbs for a total loss of 46 lbs. My WISH loss is now 40 lbs, so that means I get to start a new year with a new clippie! I know that without all of you out there on WISH to motivate & inspire me, I never would have made it through the past year, so a big THANK YOU to all of you for your support!

I lost another 2lbs this week. That makes a total of 11lbs gone over the last 3 weeks, so I'm pretty excited about that. Now I'm just trying to keep up with my New Year resolution to do more toning exercise, so that when I do get to my goal weight my body will be somewhat toned.

Congratulations to all who have posted here and good luck with your goals for the coming year.

Well, I'm TRYIN to be good, but it doesn't help when DH buys me a very nice box of chocolates for xmas (a local authentic Swiss chocolatier -- to DIE for, I kid you not!) I had a few at xmas, but the remainders I am "gifting" to others to sharethe guilt. Let me just add...Watching my kids eat them is...well, painful! I tell them to slow down, enjoy the ride, but they eat 'em like they were Hershey kisses, and don't even come up for air! AUGHHH!

Anyhoooo, I'm back in the Zone after much too long a hiatus. I have made up a lot of my b'fasts and lunches and have 'em ready and waiting in the fridge. FOr me, the show stopper is time and convenience. It's too easy to grab whatever, and when that happens, it's not always the best choice. DH is probably not happy with the carb reduction at dinner (Zone allows some carbs, but not to the extent my atomic starch bomb hubby would prefer). Oh well, gotta be cruel to be kind.

Im starting to feel better after eating healthy for the past week. The holidays were getting to both my butt & belly. Need to put a bathing suit back on in 10days so that's my incentive.

I promised myself I would post today after my weigh in, so I am... although I wish I didn't have too! Oh, well... Accountability is a huge part of it all. Guess you can tell I had a gain. 5.5lbs.
I have been on plan since Monday, so I am sure I will be doing much better for next week's weigh in.
Onward and downward!

I'm trying to be bak on program, and have lost 3 pounds since my last weigh-in. This is the week I get back to exercise.

 

[sharoncity]

Okay, its time for me to check in. My official weigh in day is Wed AM. Unfortunately, I didn't loose anything, just maintained. I'm a little disappointed with that, but since I am just starting out, I am hoping it will mean a bigger loss when I post next week!

I will keep excercising, journalizing and counting!

 

[ohMom]

well, after being OP for 5 days this past week, I think the BF was kind enough to visit and take with her some excess water weight I had been carrying during the holidays. I was pleased to see a 2.5 lb loss today, now only 1.5 more to go to legally sport my clippie and work towards my next one!!

Onward and Downward!!!

Sorry for the late check-in, but the PC has been in the shop since last Tuesday. When I weighed myself Saturday, I had gained 2 lbs. I still was able to maintain my pre-holiday weight, and this week I have been on a 1,000 calorie a day diet to "re-commit" myself to the Deal-A-Meal plan. I should have a "whoosh" to report at the next check-in!

Thursday is going to be my check in day, since I officially started New Year's Day.

I weighed in at 151.4 pounds, 2.6 pounds less that last week! My goal is 2 pounds a week, so I'm happy with that. I know that's a lot less than many people, but my diet plan (follow diabetic diet, with 45g c per meal max) doesn't give drastic losses (since that would be bad for diabetics!)

I think I've now defined my "exercise plan" as well. Plan is workout "rest" days on Monday and Wednesday. We have scouts (cub and girl) on those days, so fitting in a workout would be difficult. I'll count myself on plan if I work out Tuesday, Thursday and 2 of the 3 other days (Fri-Sun). Plan is WATP at least T, Th, and one of the weekend days with outdoor exercise as a possible exchange on the other weekend day(s).

So I'm one week cheat free, and one week exercise on plan! And 2 1/2 pounds lighter! Woo Hoo!

I'm down 1.5 from last Sat AM.

Basically a good week, tho I didn't do my grocery shopping till mid-week.

Signed up on fitday.com this morning. I think it will be very helplul to do a more accurate tracking of what I'm eating. And I'll enjoy filling in the activity section also, to see what I'm burning up!

Onwards and Downwards All!
