WISH Check-in week of August 10

[SnackyStacky]

Holly's out of town, and asked me to get the check-in thread going, so here I am!

I hope everyone had a great week!

I, myself, did! I lost 3.6 pounds, but that's nothing. I'm leaving for a North Carolina beach house for a whole week at 3:00 this afternoon. Double or nothing says I'm gonna put back on those 3.6 plus some extra for good measure!

So, everyone....spill it! How'd you do?

 

[padisneylover]

Congratulations on the weight loss and have a really nice time at the beach. Hopefully the weather will be good for you.
I was not as good as you. I didn't check in last week and in the past two weeks I managed to gain 2lbs. I really have no excuse except for a loss of control over my eating. I am going to do my very best to get back on track this week and hopefully will be able to post a weigh loss next week.

Morning Dan! I hope you have a great vacation. I bet your going to the Outter banks aren't you>LOL Have a blast.

As for me i'm down with a wonderful 3lbs loss this week. Don't ask me how it happened i'm just thankful and will take it! Started at 234.5 down to 162.25!!!!!!! I wore my 10 Levis for the first time this week i'm styling now.lOL Hope everyone has a great week.

Dan ... congrats on the loss, and have a great time at the Beach!

padisneylover ... great attitude about getting yourself back on track. I know you can do it.

Tammy ... wahoo ... another 3lbs gone forever! Congrats

I am happy to report another 1/2 pound gone (and I haven't been exactly OP this week). We're leaving for a week in WDW on Friday morning, so see you in a couple of weeks. Hopefully there won't be toooo much more of me to see by then

Congrats to all ... have a great week.

Great job Dan! Have a wonderful time!

You guys are doing so great! Wow Tammy, you are awesome!

I am BACK! And after a week in Yellowstone, I gained 3 pounds. It's not as bad as I thought it would be and I'm ready to take it off plus a lot more

Have a great week everyone!

 

[firecracker]

I want my 15 pound clippie SO BAD!! But I'm still a pound away! I lost 4 pounds this week!!!!!!!! Yippee!

I've got to up my exercise a little bit...I'm sure that would help.

Glad to see so many having great losses! Ya big losers!!!

Have a GREAT week!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to check in before I get into LURK mode. I've got to get ready for school AND our Disney trip in the next few days. So I've got to be self-disciplined in the computer area, I'm afraid!

Well done, Dan. We'll see who gains more on our vacations, right! I'm not planning on gaining, but I'm not planning on not, either!

padisney lover, fingers crossed that you can stay the road this week. I know how discouraging the scale can be sometimes! It sounds like you have your plan, though, and that's the important thing.

Tammy, there is no stopping you! Weigh to go! You continue to be my inspiration!

Mary Liz, another half pound! It's that walking, don't you think? Maybe we should have a pre-Disney weigh in on Thursday morning!

Welcome back, Kelsie! We have missed you, glo and Kath this week! 3 pounds isn't as bad as it could have been, right? And you sure sound ready to tackle and tame it! Good for you!

Carmen, you lost 4 pounds and want more? lol I know exactly what you mean. Patience isn't all that it is cracked up to be, is it? Good luck on that pound this week.

I've lost 3 pounds this week and have gained my new clippie. I think that it looks pretty good, and I'm doing the happy dance.

I'll be reading all the successes this week, and hope for lots more next, too! Good luck everyone!

 

[KathyTX]

I weighed in early this past week, and grabbed that 45 pound clippie!

I'm not losing very fast these days, buy I'm enjoying every little bit gone... I need to lose another 7 pounds to meet the Labor Day goal I set at the beginning of the summer.

Tammy, how DO you keep doing so well? I'm so very proud of you. I know you're looking and feeling HOT these days!

Dan, have a great time in NC!

For the gainers- it's great to be able to catch the gains while they're still small and manageable, isn't it? We're always going to see little fluctuations from time to time. Learning to recognize and deal with them quickly is a really important skill for us to learn so we can stay healthy and trim for life! I know you'll both banish those little gains and be moving in the right direction in no time!

I am happy to report I lost that pound that I gained last week, so wish me luck this week. I am watching my 21 month old grandson for the week and sometimes that can be slightly stressful , so hopefully I can stay on track and find some time to workout. Great job for those who lost and for those who gained or stayed the same, like the previous advice I got from fellow "wishers" is hang in there, don't lose sight of your goal!

I am reporting a 2 pound loss this week!! Did not get much exercise in this week though so I can't change my Minnie Mouse!!!

 

[Disney_1derland]

Well, Induction week 1 is under my belt (where there is much more room this week!)

Let's see, I've lost 7.5 pounds and 5 inches from my waist. That seems to be a bit much so maybe I measured wrong last week, but I don't think so! I'm claiming it anyways. Apparently I had a lot of water weight stored there.

I'm very happy with the way things are going and besides the fact that my grocery bill has been huge, I have no complaints! Dh has lost 8 lbs and about 3 inches, so I'm doubly happy.

Thanks to everyone here for existing and being such a source of inspiration and support.

Congrats to the losers, let's have a great week!

For the gainers, hey, they are small gains and easy to control when they are small, hang in there!

I'm happy to report that I am only up 2 pounds since my last weigh-in on 7/20. We were on a cruise and an extended vacation, and I just couldn't stick OP. But I am now back, on Atkins, and have a plan for upping my exercise. Congrats to all of you who posted losses. Good luck to all of us next week.

I'm so HAPPY!!!

This morning I said farewell to the "5 pound Clippie" thread....

Because I was able to change my clippie to '10' pounds lost!!!

I got on my 'official' scale this morning and found that I lost a whole 1 1/2 pounds this week... and that took me over the hump!!!
This is so exciting for me..... because this is my first serious weight loss attempt for a really long time!!!

Thanks so much for giving me the incentive to take the plunge with the group.......

 

[lovingthemouse]

Congratulations to you all - gain or lose, you have given me some real inspiration!!! After induction week 1, I stepped on the scale this morning and have lost 10 pounds. I am thrilled- really plan to have 20 off before i start back to school in 3 weeks- i can do it!!! Have a great week everyone. Caroline

 

[Tiggerkeeper]

Way to go losers! Lots of new clippies this week....me too, me too! I lost 4 pounds to claim that 20 pound clippie!!

Keep up the good work everyone! It is a new week!

Well I lost about 2.5 pounds this week which puts me at 34 pounds lost total!

I was actually down 4 pounds on Saturday which would have given me my 35 pound clippie but I knew that when I started to feel better and get more hydrated that weight would come back on so I didn't count it. Thankfully I am feeling about 40-50% better and was able to drink more last night - hence the 1.5 gained since Saturday...I am sure my body is trying to hold on to every drop of moisture since I was dehydrating late last week and early this weekend.

I really hope that I am able to recover and get back OP - DH is worried that I have put myself into starvation and dehydration mode and that it will be tough for my body to lose more weight in the coming weeks. I sure hope he is wrong! I told him my body has to realize that I was just sick and not really starving!

I am still pretty tired so I am sure no exercise for a few more days but hopefully I will be able to lose at least a pound this next week so I can get my 35 lb. clippie officially. I would still LOVE to get my 40 lb clippie by my birthday on September 3rd. That still gives me a little over 3 weeks to lose 6 pounds which I think might still be attainable.

Congrats to all of the losers and to those of you with shiny brand new clippies! To those of you who gained or stayed the same don't let it get you down. Today is a new day and you can do it!!!

Have a great week everyone!!!!

 

[Harambe]

Weighed myself this morning after my "lovely" vacation and I actually stayed the same! I'm a little shocked because I just ate way too much - but I did try to walk or hike every day and that probably helped.

Boy I want my first clippie! I have only lost 3lbs. total and hope to lose 2lbs. this week so I can have the 5lb clippie.

To all those with new clippies - way to go!!! You inspire all of us that have stayed the same or gone up slightly.

Becka - adorable picture of your baby!

 

[elisebutt]

Yeay - I lost a whole new pound so that brings me up to 52lbs lost and I'm now into the first week of a proper exercise routine, so my tummy is sore, sore, sore! My arms are a little achey as well, as I really need to get rid of the upper arm flab. Not too bothered about my legs as I'm still walking a minimum of 3 miles a day, back up to 5+ when kids are back at school, probably more cos if I get into Uni then I'll be racing across Birmingham every day as well!!

 

[bliss4us]

Great work, everyone!!! Whether you lost, gained or maintained, you're making choices for a healthier life just by being here - good for you!

I lost another pound this week - yay me! Eight down, ten to go, eight down, ten to go, eight down, ten to go...

It's a slow, steady process, but I don't mind. I have all the time in the world to get to my goal weight. I know I can!

Have a super week, everyone, and good luck! Keep up the fantastic work!

I am down 0.2 pounds this week. It was a tiny bit discouraging since I tried really hard last week. I do think that it will take my body a few weeks to realize that it's not starving, it's just not going to be getting as much food, LOL! At least the scale moved in the right direction. My birthday was Saturday, so I decided that I would limit myself to only 1 off-program day. I didn't want it to snowball into the whole weekend. My friends at work are taking me out to lunch today, but I'm going to make good choices. I wanna get some pounds off and get my 1st clippie!

Way to go all the losers!!! And stick with it those of you who gained--believe me I've been there--you CAN do it!!!
