Blech, I simply maintained this week. I had a rough week hunger-wise, and didn't expect to see much of a loss, but I wanted to see a little one.

The last time I maintained for a week, the following 2 weeks were great. Here's to hoping that happens this time too.

Congratulations to everyone!!!

I've lost 3 pounds, which puts me at a 6 pound loss for 2 weeks. I'm ready to put on my 5lb clippie!

 

[msteddom]

I weighed in a day early today because I'm leaving for WDW tomorrow at 5 AM! While I'm sure I will be hopping on the scale, there is no way I'll be logging on the computer that early.

Anyway I am happy to report that I stayed the same this week. I am very satisfied with that because TOM is tomorrow and I didn't do a very good job of staying OP last week. I know I will come back with a gain, but I really want to enjoy my vacation, so no counting points all this week. I hope everyone has a great week. I know I will!

I maintained this week...pretty good for the week I had! I had surgery on a lump in my abdomen...when my DD was born (12 yrs) we did a c-sect. and about 8 yrs ago I developed a lump, which became painful during TOM. Tried everything to avoid surgery, but finally couldn't stand anymore. Went in on wed. 8/6 for outpatient--took out scar tissue and endometriosis. The good doctor used the same incision as c-sect, and made it about an inch longer. Total, incision is 3" long with 8 staples in it. I feel like frankenstein. THEN saturday I got TOM, at least I am out of commission at the same time!!! I haven't been able to exercise AT ALL, everything you do requires your stomach to stabilize. I have been taking "strolls" thru the neighborhood, but I am just frustrated.
I set a goal for 30 pounds gone by Labor day, so with 5 left to go, I may make it.
Congrats to all of you who lost, keep it up and you will reach your goals--

Surprisingly, I still managed to lose about 1.5 pounds even though I caught a pretty bad cold! I was steady at the same weight for several days, even though I was following my plan. I think I was (and still am) retaining fluids and other gunk. Towards the end of the week, I deviated from my plan a bit to help treat my cold, but I still managed to lose a little.

So, I traded up my 5 lb clippe for a 10 lb-er!

Congratulations to everyone on their losses!

Congratulations Daddy Don, I was one of them who got the new scale and "gained" 8 pounds!!
I am a Parrot Head, and just love your song!!

I'm the same weight I was two weeks ago. I'm pleased because I have eaten way too much lately and thought I would have gained. I kept up with the exercise and was able to buy a smaller size jean this week. I'm heading to Disney at the end of this week, so I'll see you in 2 weeks (probably with a gain to report ) Have a great week everyone!

 

[MaMudduck]

Hi everyone: Congrad's to everyone still carrying on!
I didn't quit or go MIA, or anything it's just been a VERY busy summer with some vacation time mixed in. So I haven't been checking in. Well the good news is that I'll still down my total lose of 10lbs, no regain even though sometimes I haven't eaten the right stuff. I'm still going to the gym but that's also been down because of being away alot. I think I'm still on track. This week I'm out of town again for training meetings but at least I'm able to control my food, at this one.
Now I have 54 days to make goal weight before WDW. So onward & downward!

Thanks, Dan, for starting this thread this week. Hope by now you're having a great time at the beach in NC!

I'm thrilled to report a 3lb loss for this past week! And yes, that does mean I'm on my way now to the clippie room to pick up my 20lb clippie!

Between Atkins & the exercise I've been doing, I can hardly believe the difference it has made for me! I was such a skeptic before finally surrendering & switching to Atkins, but WOW, look at me now! Another new clippie already! I never would have made the switch without all of your success stories to follow while I was so painfully stuck. Yopu showed me it was possible & made me believe I could be a loser, too, and for that I thank you!

So far I have lost 27lbs total, 13lbs since starting Atkins on 7/7/03!

Congrats to all who lost this week. Please keep posting. Your success inspires me. If you're maintaining or have gained, hang in there & you will become a loser, too!

But I'm not complaining! This week I had a 4.5 loss at my WI!! I've been see-sawing back & forth for the last few weeks with losses and gains, so I just hope this loss "sticks" (or maybe that would be "unsticks" )and I don't have a gain again next week.

The really good news is that this put me at 27.75 total loss and I reached my 10% goal at WW! And I'm only 2.25 away from the next clippie!!


A pat on the back to everyone who lost this week!! And {{{Hugs}}} to those who didn't. Stick with it and that loss will show up!! I am living proof of that!

 

[jenanderson]

Yeah! I am down another 1.5 pounds! That means I have finally earned my 5 pound clippie with 5.5 pounds lost!!!

At first I was disappointed with how slow the weight is coming off but it is coming off and that makes me so happy. I love to see myself getting closer to my goal even if it is a slow progression.

Dan - Great job this week! I hope you have a super vacation. Thanks again for your encouragement to stick with it a few weeks ago!

Jeanie - I am so happy for you for losing that weight! You really deserve it! Watch out for all of the evil people who bring treats to work and you will keep on losing it! LOL! Just to let you know that being "accountable" to you with our e-mails had a lot to do with my loss this week. Thanks!

Great job to everyone this week!

Hi everyone!

I was so afraid after last weeks no loss/no gain that I was headed for a plataeu. The scale didn't seem to move all week. I ended up loosing 2 pounds at my WW's WI tonight! I am so happy.

This puts me at 21.8 pounds lost since 6/2/03. That is just such an amazing feeling.
**9.2 pounds lost since joining the WISH CHALLENGE**

Thanks to everyone for your support!

No loss for me this week, but that's okay after last weeks 3# loss. I strayed from program a lot this week because of the heat so it wasn't unexpected. Onward and downward!

 

[Claire4dpins]

Hello All

Well done to all you losers - quite a few new clippies I see!! If you stayed the same - keep going for it - I am sure a loss will show up next week. Gainers - stick with the program and well done for checking in - you CAN do it!!

Well, I have lost 1.5lb this week - still going down so that it good! That means my total loss on induction for Atkins has been 4lb - to be honest I was hoping for - even expecting - more than that as I have a lot of weight to loose!! I did stick to the program and not cheat at all - I was under 20 carbs each day - so we will see what next week brings!

Good luck to all this week!
Stick with it,
Claire

Good morning! I am very happy to report that I have lost another 3 1/2lbs and will be claiming my new clippie this morning. I have still not set an actual number goal but I think I would like to lose about another 20lbs or so. It will be more in the fit of the clothes but I know I am getting closer!
Congratulations to all the losers! Great job and keep up the good work! To anyone that stayed the same, don't get discouraged. Up your water intake a little and stay on program. To anyone that might have gained, leave it behind you and start fresh. Hope everyone has a great week!!

I can't believe I'm posting here after so long. I've avoided the check-in thread for a month! In fact after going to WDW in July (enjoying myself and the food there) I didn't get on the scale for a very long time. Been unhappy about alot of things, Well, Friday I got on it and I was ok - right about where I left off, today I'm down 2 lbs since then!!! WOW, I think I finally met the whoosh fairy! I looked at a brand new number this morning - less than I've been in 8 years! and that 20 lb clippie and the 140's are only 1.5 away!!! Wow, I have really wondered how long I was going to be stuck here. I guess my body likes to lose about 6-8 then wait a month then some more. At least I know now.

Here's my story of discouragment that turned out to be a lesson learned.....

I weighed in last week at 198.5- my first ever jaunt into Onederland- well after that each day I weighed 199 or 199.5 (Thank goodness it never went over 200!! ) But it was sooo discouraging- I was walking and dieting and felt how in the world could I show a GAIN- but I stayed the course and wonder of all wonders today I weighed in at 197!! I haven't seen 198 all week since weigh in and I got to skip right over it. So if those scales try to sabotage your efforts DON'T LET THEM!!! Just keep thinking Onwards & Downwards!!

So for this week my total loss on WISH since April 1st is 39 pounds!! I'm 1 pound away from the next clippie and it WILL BE MINE next week! And as a special treat I wore my size 12W shorts I bought on sale at Talbots (their clothes are generous and it's really a 14 in the real world) but it felt great to put them on and wear something that might be considered a Large and not an Extra Large!

Great job you losers- you're success stories and challenges really keep me focused on the goal! AWESOME!! Only about 6 more weeks left to summer- let's make these some great losing weeks!! Oh and run out and buy those smaller sized bathing suits for next year- they're on sale and will be great motivators!!

well, last week was kind of a weird one for me. i gained 2 pounds due to poor eating habits and too many carbs a few days, but i lost 2 pounds, so it's a wash. but i did measure this morning and lost about an inch and a half here and there...

we were bad one night last week. DH has had a craving for restaurant made chinese so we went to our favorite take out place and got some for home. i was very careful about no rice or noodles...and avoided teriyaki sauce like the plague! i got what i normally get...mostly meat with a few veggies (broccoli mainly) in a light sauce. and even though i didn't eat all of it, i'm pretty sure i was over on my carb count for the day!

i never went off plan and eat something totally illegal, but i'm sure that i exceeded carb counts a few times. but that's ok...i gained a little, but lost it in the same week! and i still lost an inch and a half!

and i was a very good girl when we went to the fair last friday night too! although the temptation was strong (VERY STRONG!!!) i didn't eat anything that was bad for me! and since i was so good, DH took me to hooters (LOVE their wings) for a treat! so i have about 10 wings, unbreaded, and soaked in their mild sauce.

hope next week looks up for me!! onward and downward my friends...
