WISH Check-In Week of 4-6

[CrzyforPiglet]

Big congrats to everyone for your successes!! I am happy but disappointed. I had a sneaked a weigh-in earlier in the week and thought I had lost 4 lbs. and didn't want to get too psyched and just hoped I could keep it off at my self-designated weigh-in this morning but the scale only said I had lost 2.5 lbs. I'm still happy - a loss is a loss - but I really wanted it to say 4!! It's "that time" so I'm hoping that's what happened. Here's to another week of success for everyone!!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I maintained last week, BUT I ate and ate and ate since then. UGHHH, why do I do this to myself? I want to stop this yo-yo behavior. Today I am vowing to get back on track. AND I will floss tonight. I am going to make my own 12 week improvement plan. THis week I have 3 behaviors to work on. #1 stay within points, #2 journal all foods, #3 floss daily. Wish me luck!!!

PS as a motivator, I am going to make that ressie for WDW trip, and count out how many weeks until our trip.

 

[NHMinnie]

Yeah!! I lost 2 pounds this week. Bringing my total to 20 pounds since I joined the Wish board! I am so happy. Thank you all so much I get so much motivation from this board. I don't post a whole lot but I read all the time. It really helps me keep going on this diet. Thanks everyone!!!

 

[Kelsie]

Congrats Everyone!!

John, WOW!!

I didn't start the Atkins plan last week, just couldn't find time to get to the store. But I kept on low-calorie and somehow managed to get my 5 pound clipart back!

Have a great week!

 

[Jiminy102]

Well gnag I knew the big losses would not last forever. I lost .5 this week. At least I lost!! And I am in a smaller size this week!! So overall I am very happy!! I stayed on points all week and excercised so who knows. Onward and downward everyone!!!

 

[Luckymommyx2]

Sorry for the late check in. I've lost 2 pounds this week! Since joining I've lost 11 pounds. Looking forward to the 15lb clippie!!!

Good job everyone! No matter if you lost or gained just keep trying...that's all that counts! You can do it!!!

 

[FergieTCat]

I think I'm a week behind everyone, since I switched my WW meeting to Saturday.

Anyway ... the good news is I've lost another 2.4 pounds for a grand total of ... 23.3 pounds! Wahoo!!

 

[Hannosmom]

I lost .5 and I'm very happy with that! No whining from me, thank you all for boosting my spirits this week!

I started not eating anything after 8pm. I've done it for 2 days--it's difficult, that is a real weakness of mine. I just sit on my hands and say my mantra "No eating after 8". I hope after 30 days it will become a habit!

Believe in yourself!

Is there any way to get rid of my "welcomed guest". I don't feel like a guest anymore, I feel like I'm home.

Good Morning Wishers. I am happy to report in with a 3 pound loss this week. Down 22 pounds and only 8 more to go!!!

My short term goal is to lose at least 3 pounds by 4-23-03 so that I can get my 25 pound reward - a makeover. I am going out with a group of 20 year olds (who are all in great shape) on 4-25-03 and would like to at least blend with the crowd. 2 of them are becoming my fashion consultants and are taking me shopping for a new outfit for the night.

This weekend I was really upset with friends and family and ran away from home for the afternoon on Sunday. I only mention this because I did not turn to food for comfort. Instead, I went to the store, bought myself a bikini and went to the beach. After I put the bikini on there was no way I was going to eat anything bad. I think I may start wearing it everyday.

No loss, no gain. Still not deviating from induction, guess my body just likes to hold on to the excess fat. Next week, I will expect some off!

<b>TigH</b> A one pound loss is great. I think it's great, don't you? I'm proud of you. I'm glad you don't plan to give up. I don't know what I would do without you here on WISH.

Isn't it exciting to watch those measurements "shrink"? My upper arms haven't shrunk either

<b> zakatak</b> If you were eating Indian Food on Saturday then you are probably experiencing a little water retention this week. That pound will soon melt away along with even more weight. Hang in there. Never give up!

<b>CrzyforPiglet</b> That's what you get for sneaking 2.5 pounds is a terrific loss for the week. We females have way too much fluid retention to weigh more than one time a week, I think. At least I do. 2.5 more pounds gone forever. I'm proud of you!

<b>PRINCESS VIJA</b> Okay, you know the rules. You can't beat yourself up for what you did or didn't do in the past. You can only concern yourself with right now. You can't even think about tomorrow. Just think about right now and tomorrow will take care of itself.

Maintaining your weight is just as important as losing. It's a way to prove to yourself that you will be able to keep off any weight you lose. I happen to think that is a very good thing. I'm proud of you, so I hope you are proud of yourself. I <i>love</i> your motivation tool. I should try that myself

<b>NHMinnie</b> <i>WOO HOO!!!</i> Good for you! Losing two pounds is a terrific accomplishment. I'm so happy and proud for you. Did you add your total to the thread that Kelsie started? I can't wait to see how many pounds total we have all lost so far on WISH.

You should try to post sometimes too. I count on reading everyone's posts, they motivate me so much.

<b>Kelsie</b> Our fearless leader. I'm so proud of your for earning that 5 pound loss clippie again. Now get thee to the grocery and get your Atkins supplies

<b>Jiminy102</b> You are a great inspiration to me. What a wonderful positive attitude you have. Losing .5 pounds is so much better than <i>gaining</i> .5 pounds don't you think? Plus you are wearing a smaller size. That sounds like success to me.

Hang in there, my friend, onward and downward!

<b>Luckymommyx2</b> I like your attitude. Not giving up is truly the most important thing, I agree.

You have lost another two pounds forever? Good job! That 15 pound loss clippie will be yours very soon. That 10 pound loss clippie looks really good on you, in the meantime! So proud of you, sweetie.

<b>FergieTCat</b> Holy Cowabunga, look at you! Another 2.4 pounds have melted away and that 25 pound loss clippie is practically in your siggie already. You are doing so well! What a great motivation you are for me. I'm so proud and happy for you. Okay, a little envious, too, but it's a good envy

<b>Hannosmom</b> I'm proud of you for sitting on your hands, and just think there was less of you sitting there, too You are doing very well, another .5 pound gone forever. Those .5 pounds add up fast. Good for you!

<b>Tink33</b> You have had amazing success on WISH. What an inspiration you are. Only 3 pounds from the 25 pound loss clippie and a mere 8 pounds from goal. WOW! Way to go!

<b>mickeyfan1</b> Maintaining is <i>so</i> much better than gaining, isn't it? Are you sure you are eating enough fat, or even enough food? I find that I tend to not eat enough because I don't have an appetite. Isn't that an interesting development for <i>this</i> compulsive eater?

Hang in there, Marsha. The weight will come off. I didn't lose anything during February, I know how discouraging and frustrating that can be. I'm proud of you for sticking to your program.

Never give up my friends, onward and downward. We can do this <i>together</i>. I count on reading about everyone's week, it motivates and encourages me.

I am very happy with my .5 loss this week! That brings my loss since starting WISH to 2.5, and total loss to 8.5.

I really didn't expect to lose this week, especailly with our "mini-trip" to the casino to celebrate DH's retirement, so a .5 loss is great news to me! My exercise schedule has been off this week, too. Go figure, the previous 2 weeks I was really good but did not lose anything. Now I have to get back on schedule and keep those losses coming. I really want to get to my revised goal of a 15 lb total loss by our trip next month.

 

[dmonroe]

I just found this thread today. I started Atkins one week ago and have lost 7 pounds so far! I didn't think I would like this way of eating at all; but it's not been bad at all. Honestly, I feel much better than I have in a while! Good luck to everyone! Dana

 

[believe]

On Friday I was still at goal.....today is another story. DH and I went away for the weekend and all I can say is that I really enjoyed the food Mostly I think I didn't drink enough water which has my body retaining water. We did a lot of hiking and with no facilities I was not willing to drink too much water. Hopefully in a few days I will be back at goal.

 

[lmhall2000]

Wahoo! I started April 1st- what better day than that- and I committed to slim-fasting for the entire month- just to see how much I would lose and to jump start. Well today is the 8th and my first weigh in and I've lost......4 pounds!! If I stood a certain way I could say I lost 5 pounds but consistently 4 pounds was the winner. I even went on my 6am walk this morning! It was rather chilly but I was warmed by the good weigh in.
I plan to walk 4x this week and hit the gym 2x- curious to see how this will affect next week's weigh in.
Congrats to everyone and the great thing about starting a new week is that you're starting a new week- the fruits and veggies out there at this time of the season only get better- and grilling out is a great way to make chicken and beef taste extra good. Thanks for everyone's support and ideas! And thanks for starting this thread!

Sorry - I'm posting to this a little late, it's been hectic around work! Anyway - I'm down another pound this week - 12 pounds total in the last 3 weeks.

I know a pound doesn't sound like much, but my sticks are still light purple, so I know I'm burning fat! I hope I'm losing inches! I'm making myself wait til the end of the month to measure though!

 

[TCKK]

I lost .4 this week for a total of 3.8 for W.I.S.H. and a total of 29.35lbs. One of these days I'll get the 5lb. clippie. Man it's been slow lately. I've really kicked up the exercise and I'm staying on points, but my body just seems to be saying enough is enough. But I refuse to let it have the last say. This weight is going to come off!!

Great going everyone. We'll make it

 

[tiggerlover]

I already posted on a seperate thread on Friday because I was so excited, I lost three pounds for the week for a total loss of 17 pounds. My official weigh-in was today and beyond the three that showed up on Friday, nothing new to report.

Congrats of all our losers and maintainers! Hang in there everyone else, we all have a bad week now and then.

 

[geetey]

And you can judge by the smiley face, that it was a good week for me. I am happy to report a 4 pound loss!! I will credit my loss to WW and WATP tapes, and not to the fact that I just started and have so far to go. That 10 pound clippie is MINE next week! hahahahahaha

I love being a LOSER! Congrats to everyone who losing, maintaining and being aware of their program.
