WISH check in thread, week of January 4, 2004

[helenk]

I went up 1 pound, I was a bit bad this weekend, my daughter and I went out for breakfast on Saturday, and it was a buffet. I stayed away from the bread, but had some potatoes and grits, bad, bad bad. Well I got right back on track on Sunday, but that extra pound was still there this morning. By tomorrow it will be gone, but too late for my offical weigh in day.

Hi everyone!
I didn't get to weigh in last week because I was sick. So for this week and last week I lost 3.5 pounds. I also grabbed my 15 pound clippie. Total I've lost 25 pounds (16 on WISH). Now that the holidays are over it will hopefully be much easier to stick op. I have seven weeks till my family goes on our first disney cruise. I'm hoping to lose another 5 pounds by then. I'm setting my mini goal a little low because I know I have a busy schedule for the next seven weeks. Well good luck to everyone this week!

I'm up another 2.5 pounds this week ... but hey, when I weighed myself Jan 1st, I was up 5 lbs so I was pretty happy to see a little lower number This puts me up a total of 3.5 lbs from my lowest, so ridding my body of this excess is my first goal.

Congrats to everyone. Glad to see some people back. I know for myself, I just took my journal out of my bag and I have officially starting counting my points again.

WISHing everyone a happy, healthy New Year!

Well it seems that since I got that 50lb clippiee about a month ago my weight loss has stalled. Now that the holidays are over and I won't be working at the mall every free second I have I can get back to eating right and exercising again. It has been months since I last exercised - although lifting all those boxes at work hasn't let my muscle turn to flab. I'm holding steady at 177 even though I'm sure it went up and down over the past few weeks but I just never checked the scale. I've set a few new goals for the new year - 3 days/week of exercise and I want to get to 170 for Valentine's Day. Besides, 50 lbs in a little over 6 months is pretty darn good. Now if I could just get that film developed I could share some before and during pics.

Keep up the great work everyone - it's a new year and we all can reach our goals.

Good morning. Now that the holidays are over and Aunt Flo, I've decided to make monday moring my official weigh in day of the week. This week finds me at 290, which is where is was upon ariving home from Christmas at my parents' condo for a few days. I still followed my exercise program pretty well while away, and even while DH finished out his Christmas vacation. Tis the soda and munchies that got me.
But now, I'm back on my water regimen, and i have a latch hook kit that keeps my mind from wandering down the munchie corridor. So, with luck the lbs will soon be flying off.

Have a great week everybody

Happy New Year!

I'm up 4 pounds since my last weigh in, but that has been over 2 weeks ago so I'm not going to get upset until my next monthly weigh in. Clothes still fit and I feel pretty good though the salty food of the holidays had given me a bit of bloat. I really thought I would maintain this holiday, but I will get over it and be right back on track once I get back to the gym.

Keep the Faith!
Tracy

This morning was my first WI in over two months. I am at 165, which puts me right back where I started when I joined WISH. So as of today I'm starting over. I'm looking forward to seeing the number on the scale go down and haivng my clothes fit better again!

I did pretty good this week, I had a 2 pound loss. I am trying to pick it upa bit starting this week tho, and get back to a stricter carb count. I have been staying kinda low, but eating lots of fried foods. So, I may treat myself every once in a while, but back to a full scale induction for me!!!

<font color=purple>I am sad to say that I am the same as last week. I did really good, not cheating, but didn't get much exercise. I really expected to be down some.

Oh well, maybe next week.

 

[sadeeyore]

I didn't post last week . My weight has been going up and down over Christmas and New Year. I'm really pleased though that I'm back to what I was just before Christmas
Don't worry Paula - we will get to ONDERland soon

Hope everyone has a great week
Helen

 

[JoshMom5]

Thanks Helen.

You're right and I can't wait to get there.

I can't really say that I recommend it, but a sinus infection is a pretty effective weight loss trick. I've had a humdinger all week and I'm down 3.25 pounds. I've also been keeping my New Years resolution to exercise, I'm sure that helped me also. Whatever the reason, I was just glad to see 3 pounds gone!!

Hope everyone is having a happy and healthy new year!

Well as of this morning I am down 7 pounds!!! WOO-HOO! All that in only 5 days!!! Well actually what it said to me is that I have been really good at getting back OP (and exercising) and that those 12 pounds I gained over my 4 month break was probably a little misleading. I think a few pounds of my loss were really just some water weight, etc. left over from the previous week and I think that I probably put on a couple of those pounds just in the last few weeks over the holidays - otherwise it wouldn't be coming off so quickly.

I am thrilled with my results so far. I am actually about 1 pound lower than the plateau weight I was stuck at last August so that made me feel pretty good. Only 3 more pounds until I have earned back my 40 lb. clippie and I get to start working on that beautiful 45 lb'er.

Hello, everyone.

It's been a while since I've posted much, but I think that I will try to change that. I can't post a lot, but I'm going to try for one a day. That, added with my (return to) journalling on Fitday , and a return to regular WATP should help me get back on the losing track.

I have stalled for a few months, but I am pleased to say that, except for maybe a pound or two, I have maintained. So. . . now that I have that under my belt, it is time to get in gear.

I actually did manage to keep up with some of the exercise, (see the clippie!) but I want to do MORE, now. I'll need your help---I HATE getting up in the dark to WATP. It's so much cosier and warmer in bed. I think that I'll need an email poke or some pm's to check up on the exercising. (HINT)

And one of these days, I really will begin by losing the next 10 pounds and getting one of the pretty blue clippies under my name.

I'm glad to be back with all of you losers. You inspire me to keep trying! Thanks.

I gained .5 lb this week. I am glad that the holidays are over. Ever since Thanksgiving I have been up and down and just pretty much staying at the same weight. I back on track today. I hope to get in some excercise.

Today is my third day on South Beach. I am surprised that I don't feel as hungry as I thought I would. The only thing is I had a terrible headache last night but this morning it is better.

Good luck to everyone this week!!

Hi and congrats to all who lost this week

My first weigh in in a while and I was expecting a gain, but instead I am claiming my 20 pound clippie. I am sticking with the plan and doing well so far. Dont know if I lost or just maintained since I havent weighed in since around Thanksgiving.

My goal is to be more consistent and exercise.

Thanks to all of you who are such a great inspiration.

After 4 months of falling off my exercise program (and as a consequence, slipping back into less healthy eating methods), I've picked back up again with the new year. I've done *some* form of exercise every night since the 2nd, and while I can tell I've lost a ton of strength due to lack of exercise due to those hives and the medicine, I also can tell that I can build it back up again with more exercise.

I'm also starting to try to drink more water again, and eat a little healthier when possible. Last night was a Subway sandwich for dinner rather than a can of spaghettios, so that's at least a start. At least I *think* the sandwich was healthier. LOL!

Once again, I'm not aiming for any specific weight loss, but rather for a healthier life-style and building my stamina through exercise.

2 more pounds gone this week, which means time for a new clippie! Hooray! I guess I really did lose weight over the holidays, despite my flaky scale. It's been a little hard getting back into the swing of things as far as eating is concerned, and it doesn't help that I've been home sick for a couple of days. Suddenly, everything around the house sounds like a good snack! Argh!

Exercise is going great, I've even exercised while home sick (I know, I'm crazy). I should hit 150 days of exercise on Thursday. I'm only 2 pounds away from my next 10% goal - hopefully I'll make it next week!

Have a great week, everyone - and hello and good luck to all the new WISHers! This is a great place for support, so stick around!

Well I expected to be up this week as I just got back from 8 days at WDW. I'm up 4 pounds. I really think it's only 1 or 2 pound gain. My fingers, feet and possible legs are swollen. A ring that fit before my trip I had to take off during because it was to tight and my shoes just kept getting tighter and tighter through out the stay. My wedding rings that are usually loose were tight so I think that most of my gain is water. I think the 5 hour flight home really made me retain water even though I was trying to drink on the flight as much as I could.

Pretty pround of myself about the food choices I made in WDW. There's not much there that is really healthy but I prefered water over soda and this is the first trip ever that I actually went for the fruit when I had the chance. Had planned to splurge on funnel cake, cotton candy, soft pretzels and ice cream. Ended up only splurging on a couple of Pretzels(ate one pretzel for lunch) and 3 shakes(split with DH). It really helped that I brought along snacks that were under 200 cal for in between meals.

Instead of having a big goal for the new year I have a couple of mini goals.
1- Onederland by March (as of today that's just 11 pounds)
2- Size 14 by my birthday in May(that way I can ask for new clothes)

To accoplish these I'm going to work on Exercising at least 3 times a week and eating better. Thought it was going to be hard to get back on track after WDW but already feeling back on track today.


Good luck to everyone
