WISH check-in thread - Week of November 9, 2003

[Otto's Doll]

I am down 4 more pounds for a total of 16 since being on WISH.... 26 since I started losing!

I feel so much better than I did a few months ago, and I so appreciate all your encouragement...I couldn't do this with out all of you!

 

[mum4jenn]

I finally lost something after a couple of weeks of maintaining!!! I am down 2 more pounds this week for a total of 52 since joining WISH!!! I am almost ready for size 14 as well!!!

 

[joats]

Down 2.5 more this week for a total of 12.5 loss since I started WISH!

 

[kayeandjim00]

I'm down .8 this week. I'm thinking maybe that has something to do with the big loss I had last week? Either way it's not a gain so I'll take it! Only .8 away from my next clippie!

I'm down 2lbs this week. UPDATE - When I weighed in this morning I was actually down 4lbs for the week. Yesterday's weigh in was not at its usual time (already ate and had some coffee and juice). No change in measurements though. I'm happy b/c last week I didn't count points at all but I must have made some good decisions anyway. This week I'm back on track. I've lost 44lbs so far with WISH. Only 1 more lb until I get a shiny new clippie.

I'm down 1 pound from last week - COOL!! That makes 11 pounds lost since joining WISH.

Hi Everyone,
I am down 2 more pounds! And I got a new clippie as well. FINALLY!! Wow, for me that's like a visit from the WHOOSH fairy. I have only been losing less than a pound a week or maintaining for the last month.

I moved my dinner hour to an hour later. I stopped eating cheese in the evening and rarely need to snack at all now after dinner. (We used to eat at 5:30; now it's usually about 6:30). Since I don't go to bed until about 11:30, I was usually hungry before bedtime. This one hour difference seemed to help.

Congratulations to all the losers and hang in there all the maintainers or gainers. It sometimes a slow process, but it WILL HAPPEN!

All these downs! Congratulations everybody!

I too am down, but just .2, which is exactly what I want!

I think we may need to start another thread as to how much we've lost!!

 

[Debbie]

One down for me this week~plus all the gained weight. So I'm for joy and have my fingers crossed that:

• it sticks! and
  
• it has (re)started a DOWNward trend.

Good luck to all those to post behind me. Win, lose or draw, we are weighting to hear from you!!

 

[trola2]

I'm down 0.9 this week and now only .4 from a new clippie. I feel like I've been stuck between 5 & 10 for sooooooooooooo long. AND I even got a countdown timer for my trip this week!!

Have a great week and see you next week with a new clippie!

~~Beth

I went up 1.8 pounds this week, but I knew I would gain. I do want to thank everyone here for the encouragement you gave me on another thread. I am back on track this week, as I want very much to re-earn my 5 pound clippie before my wedding day. Since I will need to try to maintain once I've had my final gown fitting, that only gives me a few weeks. I'm gonna give it my very best shot, though!

166.6/164.6/125.0

 

[Auggietina]

My first weigh in on Atkins - After 6 days - I have lost 4.5 lbs!!

 

[*Flower*]

After a tussle of a week........ I'm down 1.5 lbs for the week. I'm only 1.5 lbs away from a new clippie- and I'm solidly in ONEDERLAND for the first time in roughly 10 years!!!

 

[NCRedding]

I am happy to report that I am down another 2 pounds this week bringing a total of 342 pounds since starting Atkins and WISH. I don't remember weighing this in at least 8 years!!

 

[mum4jenn]

You have lost 342 POUNDS????

 

[Nancy]

I stayed the same this week...no loss, no gain. This is good though because lately it's been gain one week lose it the next. WW gave me a handout on plateaus so I'm reading that and hoping it gives me some advice on how top kickstart the weight loss again. I am exercising 3-4 times a week, so even if I stay the same I am at least toning up a bit.

 

[Claire4dpins]

Well, I have stayed the same this week - which I am trying to look on the positive side of & say it is not a gain!!

I do feel a little down about it though - I KNOW I shouldn't - because I did stick to induction rules exactly and I have done WATP 2 miles five times this week. That exercise is pretty impressive for me because up to these past few weeks I was not doing any exercise at all. I was hoping to see some change in the measurements - but nothing there for a couple of weeks either.

Well, heres hoping I will finally get rid of the last pound to get my 25 clippie by next week - 2 months with the 20lb one has been too LONG!! Good luck to everyone in the coming week - down we go I hope,
Claire

 

[lulu201]

I'm saying goodbye to two pounds this week!

 

[WDWLVR]

I have another 1 lb. gone this week! Yeah!

Week got off to a great start by doing WATP 3 times. Slipped up later in the week with lots of stress (and some stress eating).

This is a new week and I'm ready to go!

I'm 19 lbs. and 17 inches down from when I started this journey and while the journey is far from over I'm happy with the path I'm taking.

 

[sadeeyore]

I've lost 3lb this week. I'm really pleased with my loss this week. This means it's new clippie time.
I've now lost 16lb with WISH (Which is 27lb when I include my pre-WISH loss)
Hope everyone has a great week
