Hi,

I lost 4 lbs tonight!! So that makes it 13.2 (not sure of the .2)!!!
I'm finally out of the slump I was in when I gained 2.4 lbs two weeks ago.

EDIT : Just checked my book and I actually lost 13.6! LOL, almost cheated myself out of 4 tenths of a lb.

 

[NancyK]

Wow - everyone is doing so well! Congratulations to all!
Liz - you sure didn't hang on to that 30 lb clippie very long! Great job!

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

Well, for someone who never, ever thought it would be possible I am down 2 lbs this week. as others quote whooooooooohoooooooo !!

Monday, I challenged 3 others at the office not to use the elevator for a month and that took off like wild-fire and the buzz today was a 10 week weight loss game starting Monday! Each player put some cash into the pot and winner (person who loses the most weight, % wise) takes all! Response has been far greater than originally thought, so we may try to change that to make a mini-goal or two, just so we can keep people rev'd up!! I plan to stay on counting WW points - why mess with success, I may not win the dough, but how can I lose, if I am a loser?

Accountability - here and there, and everywhere - can only be one way to go - onward and downward!

 

[anniet]

2 lbs????? WAY TO GO GRAMMY!!!!!

That is awesome about the challenge! I will bet that you do win that dough! You're body is already in "loser" mode- it may take some others a little bit to catch up! Plus you've got a buddy who I know is going to push you all the way to the jackpot!

 

[Bichon Barb]

Finally, it's my weigh-in date, and now it's almost time to start a new week thread.

Anyway, I lost 3 lbs. my first week. I'm trying to be happy with it, it's just hard to, because when I weighed myself on Tuesday, I was down 4 lbs. . I'm probably still retaining water from Tuesday night. Last night's dinner was a bit salty too. Oh well, maybe it will show up next week.

 

[SnackyStacky]

I weighed in today and lost 4 pounds. I was a Weight Watcher nazi this week because I want to get to goal! I'm so glad I didn't give up the 20 pound clipart last week cause I'd need to get it again this week.

Totals so far:

WISH total: 22 pounds
Total Weight Loss: 142 pounds
Pounds till WW Lifetime: 1.4
Pounds until personal goal: 21.4

 

[nicolep91]

Wow, everyone is doing great! Either weight-loss wise and attitude wise or both!

I am so happy to report that I lost a pound this week. I'm back down to 140 and I hope I can stay here for a while. (Well, at least until I get to 139!) The weekends are always rough on me and I don't want to gain this back. Plus, it's going to be a busy weekend with lots of eating on the run since I'm having a garage sale on Saturday and I'll be getting ready for it tomorrow and taking everything down on Sunday. Wish me luck!

I understand what you're saying. Our church had a rummage sale last weekend and we have a neighborhood garage sale in 3 weeks. We're going to start getting ready for that (going through all our junk) tonight.

Good luck with your sale and with maintaining 140!!!

 

[SnackyStacky]

Nicole, I know you'll be busy, but a tip for your weekend: if you have a few minutes now, wash and cut up some fresh fruits and vegetables now. That way when you need the food, it'll be there. I do that when I know I won't have more than a few minutes. I also cut up some extra veggies and throw them in with some bagged salad mix and have salad ready.

Congratulations, and keep up the great work!

 

[nicolep91]

Thanks, TCKK & Dan for the encouragement!

I will have some time tonight so I think I'll take your advice and get some food prepared now so I don't eat the cookies my son will be selling! (He's trying to earn some money for our WDW trip too!)

 

[jlawall]

Hey all! I've got good news and bad news..........good news.......I lost..........bad news.........it was only .4 lbs..............actually I'm happy...........I didn't gain! Final total so far!............26.8 lbs.

Thx to all, all your stories are motivating me!

 

[Alice Sr.]

I was so nervous about stepping on the scale today, after gaining the 2.6 I lost the week before last week. But I lost 4.8 I was totally shocked. Thank you Kath for the kind words and thank you TigH for the encouragement and support. My total loss since joining WW 4 weeks ago is 5.6 so I think I get a clippie now but actually I think I'll wait until the next weigh in, I don't want to have to give it back since I'm going to be on vacation next week I'm going to end like I do to all my family and friends because that's how I feel about the kind and gentle souls I've met here (I know enough of the mush)

Love ya,
God bless,
Alice

 

[TigH]

I REACHED A GOAL!!!!!!!!!

Woo-hoo!!!! I wanted to get to 145 on or before May 23 (day we leave for England) and I did it!!!! I weighed in at 144.5 today! (insert cartwheels here...) I am only a .5 pound away from the 15 pound clippie!!!!!

WOW! What a feeling! I am on top of the world! I love Weight Watchers! I love Pilates! I love rollerblading! I love weight lifting! I love power walking! I love going shopping at Macy's today!!!!!!!!

Alice, what the heck??? GRAB THAT CLIPPIE You earned it! Hope you enjoy your vacation and we'll see you when you get back!

Bouncing off to post in my journal. WOW. I am totally a nut case right now. Is it the tea? Nah, just me feeling naturally bouncy today!!!!!!! Gosh, I am loving the Friday weigh in!!! heh heh heh!

 

[jlawall]

Hey Alice and Tigh! Great stories! WTG, you are amazing!

[jimmytammy]

I am so happy that I can report a 2.5 loss this week !. Yes, can you tell that I am so excited? Since I recommitted myself to WISH, I am down 4.5 pounds so hopefully I will get to change my clippie next week!

Congrat's to all the losers this week, if you maintained that is great as well, and if you gained a little, don't let it get you down. We all have had the ups and downs and none of us are going to be able to avoid it at all times. Great week everyone.

Have a great weekend!!!

 

[yasuern]

2nd week weigh in at WW on 5/8/03 1.4lbs for a total of 7lbs!

 

[ohMom]

ok, this is either late or early

I usually WI on Mondays but today was only day I made to the Y this week I had thought of just skipping the WI this week as I wasn't feel any thinner, but Annie's Total Wish Pounds lost thread inspired to me to check today and........

I lost 1.5 lbs!!!

1.5 lb to go with my 1.5" lost! yippee!!!

I haven't weighed this weight in 5 1/2 years! And then I was trying to lose 7 lbs to get to pre-pregnancy weight of my then 1 yr old who is now 6 1/2 years old! But, here I am, and hoping to continued downward!

No clippie for me, another 3.5 lbs for that, but closer to my mini-goal

 

[nativetxn]

<b>perdidobay</b> No sad smilies allowed. You don't really have anything to be sad about, you know. You stumbled on your eating plan but you didn't do any permanent damage.

I'm positive that pound you gained is simply fluid. It will go away. You are right back on track and determined. That is excellent. Don't waste any time worrying about the past, it's a waste of energy. You can't change the past so just worry about now.

Right now you are doing just great! I'm so proud of you for getting right back on plan.

<b>ahutton</b> YIKES, kidney infections are no fun at all.

Way to go losing another pound you are just steadily reaching your goal. I'll bet when this infection is cleared up that you drop a couple of extra pounds, too.

{{{HUGS}}} my friend. Feel better soon and be proud of yourself. You lost a whole pound when you were feeling wretched. Lots of people would have just given up and gotten off plan, but not you. You are an inspiration to me and I am very proud of you.


<b>TCKK</b> WOO HOO!!!!! Look at you go You are just doing so well. That new clippie is practically in your siggie already. Way to go!

I love your positive attitude, it helps keep me motivated and it makes me smile. You are a great help to me, here on WISH, and I appreciate you very much. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine

<b>anniet</b> YAY! I love your new clippie, cutie pie. You are just working your way along the road to goal. Making steady progress too

Good job, my friend. Imagining that gorgeous smile of yours is making me smile too. I know you are smiling about this, aren't you? I thought so. I'm just so happy and proud for you!

<b>glo</b> I see you got your WISH. Love that pretty new clippie of yours. I love your determination too. Your success keeps me motivated and determine. What a help you are to me.

Be proud of yourself, gorgeous, you are almost to goal!

<b>Kabuli1</b> I see you have a shiny new clippie too! It looks good on you. Don't get too attached--you will be trading up to that 10 pounder any day now

You have a wonderful and motivating positive attitude. That is a help for us all and it makes me smile a lot.

Another 2.5 pounds are gone forever. Good job! Be proud of yourself because <i>I</i> am proud of you.

<b>kamgen</b> You are amazing. Look at all of the challenges you faced and you still lost one pound. That is determination and progress. Good for you!

I love having you in my support group, you are a great example for me

<b>Liz</b> Oh my goodness! A new clippie already? Another pretty gold one too

You are just doing so well. Your determination is obvious and it is an inspiration to me. I want one of those gold clippies and you have shown me that I can do it.

I'm really glad that you are in my support group. Congratulations on one more wonderful accomplishment.

<b>campingcorgi</b> Good for you vanquishing that mean old bloat fairy! You have a new clippie and everything. I love it.

You are just zooming down the road to goal and you are inspiring us all along the way. I'm proud of you and I'm really glad that you are part of my support group. You help keep me inspired.

<b>Luvinit</b> See? This is what I love about you. You understand that success isn't limited to the numbers on a scale. This past week you noticed increased energy and you learned a lot. That's valuable. That's more valuable that losing a couple of pounds, in my book.

Good for you! I'm proud of you. Stay on plan and that weight will eventually be all gone. What a great example you are for me

<b>Mish19</b> Losing 4 pounds in one week is amazing! Sounds like you had a visit from the *whoosh* fairy

Way to go! Love that new clippie, it looks great on you, I don't think you will be wearing it long though, not at the rate you are going.

I'm proud of you for never giving up even when you were stalled. That is determination and that is the way to success. Good job!

<b>AlreadyexcitedGrammy</b> Another two pounds gone forever, isn't that just the greatest feeling? You are such a success at this weight loss stuff.

Sounds like you are motivating lots of other people to get healthy too. Way to go! You are an inspiration to me and I'm very proud of you.

<b>Bichon Barb</b> That's why I don't sneak weigh, I always end up disappointed.

I can't believe you sound a little sad about losing 3 whole pounds in one week. I think that is wonderful. What progress you are making in this endeavor. I am very proud of you. Be proud of yourself and no more sneak weighing

<b>SnackyStacky</b> I know you get tired of me saying this but you are an inspiration and motivation for us all. You are proving to us that we <i>can</i> do this. You have proven that even if we have more than 100 pounds to lose it can be done.

I am really lucky to have you in my support group. Congratulations on losing another 4 pounds forever. That teacup is getting emptier and emptier, isn't it?

<b>nicolep91</b> Another pound of fat gone forever. Look at you go. The slower you lose the less chance you have of gaining it back again.

Slow and steady wins the race and you are working your way steadily down the road to goal. Be proud of yourself. <i>I'm</i> proud of you.

Good luck with this weekend. You're going to be just fine.

<b>jlawall</b> You are <i>so</i> lucky that I'm running late. I would have to discuss the WISH by laws with you. <i>Only</i> .4 pounds? At least you acknowledged that it's better than gaining.

To get a perspective about how much you actually lost this week, duct tape 1 1/2 sticks of butter to your forehead for a couple of hours. I'll bet you will be happy to lose that

I'm teasing with you, sweetie. I'm proud of you. You are making progress and you have a great attitude. I'm so glad you are part of my support group.

<b>Alice Sr.</b> We love you too and we are all so very <b>proud</b> of you.

Losing 4.8 pounds in one week is a wonderful accomplishment. Where is your new clippie? I would have had it in my siggie so fast it would have rattled the windows

Are you smiling? <i>I'm</i> smiling because I'm so proud of you. I knew you could do this all along though, I'm not one bit surprised

<b>TigH</b> Look at you go! You are so successful at this and that is very motivating for me.

You've reached a goal and you are going to have that new clippie any minute now. Are you feeling proud of yourself? <i>I'm</i> proud of you. You make me smile

What a great attitude you have about working out, WOW! What an inspiration.

<b>jimmytammy</b> WOO HOO!!!! You are doing so great. That new clippie is practically in your siggie already.

2.5 more pounds gone forever. What an inspiration you are and what a wonderfully positive attitude you have. It helps me a lot to have you as part of my support group.

Keep it up! You make me very proud.

<b>yasuern</b> YAHOOOOO! Another 1.4 pounds of fat are gone forever. You are steadily working your way to goal.

It's a great feeling, isn't it? To be in control of your eating. You are such a success at this weight loss stuff and you make me proud. So I hope you are feeling proud of yourself

<b>ohMom</b> Another 1.5 pounds are gone forever <b>and</b> you lost 1.5 inches. You are just shrinking before my eyes, Molly.

You have a great attitude and a huge heart. You are always ready to reach out to another WISHer and try to help. I love that about you.

I'm very proud of you so you'd better be feeling proud of yourself. You are a success and that is motivating for me!

Well, I've got good news and good news. I was too busy to get to this thread yesterday which is my weigh in day, so I'm a little late.

The fluid left with me by the bloat fairy is all gone. Shhh! Not so loud he might hear you and come back to my house.

I lost 4 pounds this week. So the whoosh fairy paid me a visit. I wish she wasn't such a ditz and could remember where I live more often

So I get a new clippie. I don't have time to do that right now though, I'm already very late and my dh is going to kill me. I'll do it later.

My friends, everyone of you help me along this path to better health simply by posting on WISH. I appreciate each and every one of you so very much.

Never forget...you are all special to me...I believe in you. I sure hope you believe in yourself. Onward and Downward!

[TCKK]

Way to go Katholyn!! 4 lbs. gone forever. May I do the dance with you? You've certainly done it for me a few times. Here goes: I just love this dance.

Thanks Kath for all the encouragement you give.
