I had another visit from the whoosh fairy again this week, and it was a good one! 5 pounds down!

Man, I worked those FlexPoints like nobody's business! Now I'm learning how to maintain with them.

 

[DoeWDW]

I've lost a pound since last Sunday - with many fluctuations in between....LOL! I'm goin' DOWN!

 

[ohiominnie]

I did the unthinkable....I weighed on a Sunday (usually I *only* weigh on Thursday which makes me terribly late for the check in thread!)

Last Thursday I was 137.5. Today, I'm down 1 1/2 pounds!!! I've made it to 136 and am claiming my 20 pound clippie in the process!!

And yesterday I got a wonderful jewel....a friend I haven't seen all summer stopped by and could NOT believe how good I looked. It means so much to hear someone say that outside of your immediate family!

WOO-HOO!!

I've had a Yo-YO week. I left for vacation for a few days weighting in at 155.5 before i left coming home tuesday i weighted 166.5! Now i'm back down to 157.5. I can't really give myself a loss until i'm back to 155.5 or under that i should say. All that other weight was vacation fun weight. Now i'm back on track and hopefully headed downward again. Not to mention TOM was here this weight in. Good luck everyone for a success week next week.

<b>Jiminy102</b> Thanks for posting our check in thread this week. You know I find a lot of inspiration and motivation reading the progress reports each week.

Good for you! Two more pounds gone forever. You are cruising steadily toward goal and doing a great job. I'm feeling very proud of you so I hope you are feeling proud of <i>yourself</i>. Keep it up, you're doing great.

<b>SnackyStacky</b> What do you do, <i>bribe</i> the Whoosh Fairy? WOW, 5 pounds gone in a week. You are really good at this maintenance stuff.

Thanks for posting to the check in thread--you help keep me inspired. You are proof that I can reach goal and keep that weight off. That is very motivating for me to know.

<b>DoeWDW</b> Good job! One whole pound gone forever, that's <i>progress</i>! You are on your way to goal for sure and you are going to reach goal, too.

I'm really glad that you are part of my support group. Your success helps keep me motivated and determined.

<b>ohiominnie</b> Look at that beautiful new clipart! It looks really good on you. You lost 1.5 pounds in 2 days? EXCELLENT! You're going to be at goal before you know it.

Those unsolicited compliments are very motivating aren't they? You should be feeling proud, I'm sure happy and proud <i>for</i> you.

<b>PartyofSix</b> Sounds like the Bloat Fairy was very generous with you last week That fluid will soon be gone and I'll bet a couple of pounds of fat goes away at the same time.

Hang in there. You're doing just great.

<b>kayeandjim00</b> WOO HOO!!! Look at you go! You've lost another 1.5 pounds <i>and</i> earned a new clipart. Good job!

Are you feeling proud? I sure hope so, all of your WISH friends are proud <i>of</i> you. Keep this up and you will be at goal before you know it.

<i>A new week already. Where does the time go? Thanks everyone for posting to the check in thread. I love reading about your progress every week.</i>

Onward and Downward!

I've lost 31 lbs since Aug 4th. I am only supposed to get weighed once a month! Since surgery I have lost 44! I am down a lot in sizes and last night I was able to fit into a large t-shirt and it wasn't even tight! (In july I was wearing a 3 x!)

 

[mum4jenn]

Well... I am reporting a 2 pound loss this week!! I was really surprised since I had been wanting to eat so much bad stuff but I guess wanting to eat it and NOT eating it are different!!!!!!!!

 

[firecracker]

...to report a 2.5 pound loss! YIPPEE!!!

I'M CLAIMING MY 20 POUND CLIPPIE! UNBELIEVABLE! 24 POUNDS TOTAL IN 10 WEEKS...NOT BAD AT ALL!








I'm continually encouraged on so many fronts...my faith in Jesus, my job (working with teenagers and sharing my life with them), my friends (who are so likeminded and encouraging), my husband (who has a will of iron and is constantly telling me how great I'm looking), THE WISH BOARD (it goes without saying that this real-life support has made a big difference!) and even those skeptics about Atkins and our progress encourage me! We'll show them! I'm working for GOOD HEALTH AND A LONG LIFE!


Can I hear an Amen?!? Have an awesome week!

<b>~Sparkly~Zoe</b> You're doing great. You only weigh once a month? How are you going to figure out your cliparts? Let's see 31/4=7.75 pounds per week. Shall we say you lost 7 pounds last week? That would be 7.75 pounds gone since you took the challenge on 9/1?

Good job this week!

<b>mum4jenn</b> LOL, if <i>wanting</i> to eat off plan foods made you gain weight, every single one of us would never lose an ounce.

Another two pounds gone forever. You are just working your way steadily to goal and you're doing great. Be proud of yourself, I'm sure proud <i>of</i> you!

<b>firecracker</b> WOO HOO!!! Another 2.5 pounds gone. You're doing great and I'm so happy and proud for you. Love that new clipart. Don't get too attached, though, at this rate you will be trading up again very soon.

I love your positive attitude. It is very motivating. Be proud of yourself you are racing down that road to goal and you're doing great!

<i>Thanks for posting to the check in thread everyone. I look forward to this every week.</i>

Onward and downward!

I didn't lose this week, but more importantly, I didn't gain!! I ate horribly last weekend, so was worried about that! I'm starting a journal today. Please feel free to comment, suggest, yell at me, kick my butt, whatever it takes to keep me on track!!

I love reading all these postive thoughts. I really do think about the WISH board when I start to reach for something not on plan. I feel as though I am finally back on the right track with Atkins, after floundering around for the last few weeks. I am also doing well with exercise, although this was a rough week at work, and I didn't go as often as I would have liked. I am down another pound this week I am at my lowest weight in about 5 years!! Thanks to all your support on the WISH. Looking forward to reading more good things this week.

Hiya,

Just an update on my progress - started SBD 2 weeks ago and have lost 9lbs

Slowly moving into phase2 - I would like to lose another 15-20lbs and will be happy - but am happy now as can fit into my pre-preganancy clothes (and some are abit loose!!!!).

Good luck to everyone else.

Congratulations everyone!!! Well done!

I'm down 2 pounds this week, to bring my total loss to date to 28 pounds.

 

[ead79]

As I posted on another thread, I lost 2.4 pound this week, and I earned my 5 pound clippie!!!!! I have been working so hard for this, and I'm so thrilled. I'm so excited by it you would think I skipped all the clippies and got the 40 pound one right away, LOL! Good job all you WISHers! Let's just keep on keepin' on together!

 

[LisaTx]

I didn't post last week because I hadn't lost anything due to that evil low carb candy.

This week has been a really good week!

Since I quit eating that evil candy, I'm down 3 1/2 lbs this week.

I've lost 5" in my hips since I've started and am down more than one clothing size.

I am officially on day 14 of the cheat free challenge and I also earned my 20 lb. clippie yesterday! Woooo Hoooo!!!

 

[becka]

I had a terrible week. I was completely off plan all week and the worst part was that I really didn't care too much. I am up 2.5 pounds this week but considering how badly I did I guess it could be worse (on Thursday I was up 10 pounds! ).

I missed my birthday goal and I am now 4 pounds away from that 40 lb. clippie. My toe is still bothering me and it is still swollen enough that I can't wear regular shoes. I can't exercise and even walking pretty short distances causes pain.

I also can't access WISH very often anymore. They told us at work that they are changing the Internet policy and nobody can access the Internet at all for personal reasons so that has pretty much cut me off since I don't have much of a chance to DIS at home - too busy with DS. It was so nice to be able to pop in and out for a few minutes at a time during the day to get my encouragement and now that has been taken away completely.

I know it is stupid but I just really feel like giving up. I know if I can just stick it out then it will get better but I am having lots of little pity parties for myself lately and they seem to be winning.

Hello All,

I had a phenomenal week after being on a plateau the week before. I don't want to change my clippie or give an exact count yet 'cause I'm going to the dr. on Tuesday for my official 3 mo. checkup.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

 

[leanne2255]

Joined the WISH on 9/2, but could not bear to weigh myself until Friday 9/5. I will be checking in next week when I weigh on 9/12. So far, so good, this week, though.
