WISH check week of 4-20

I have lost 2 lbs since last week's check-in, making a total lost on WISH of 6.5 lbs, and overall total of 12.5 lbs lost. I did report this midweek since I was excited about being able to pick up my 5 lb clippie! I'm posting that 2 lb loss again because I want to have it on the weekly check-in thread. No more lost since then, but that is still the biggest loss for me since starting WISH. :D I'm pretty happy with that lor the week.
I really wasn't very good about my food over the weekend, but I've been exercising like crazy, so I didn't put any of my lost weight back on. Hopefully I will have another loss next week. I'm back on track with food, and we walked 3.25 mi today.

It's the FIRST time I've been in the 220's since I got pregnant with our 3rd child!!!! WOO-HOOO

I lost 2 pounds to rest at 228!! I'm ahead of my weekly goal by 3 pounds so I'm pumped up! I've been walking 5x a week, Y nautilus 2x a week and still Slim-Fasting- I can't believe I have under 30 pounds to go to reach 190's! Off to do my morning walk!
Thanks everyone and CONGRATS for all you new CLIPPIE bearers, and for those not realizing a loss- YOU WILL- the FORCE is with you!!

Well, I am back ~ I am officially starting today. Got on the scale this morning and I am 158 lbs. I would like to be about 130 lbs.

I posted my story before. There is the short version.

I was 175 lbs. 6 years ago, I quit smoking and gained weight, when to 210 lbs in a year. Five years ago I lost weight, went to 122 lbs ~ too skinny.

I tried to remember what made me success five years ago and not now. It was CONTROL and GOALS! I counted my calories, made good food choices and exercised. I still exercise, but I don't get enough cardio. I am setting my first goal today! I want to be in the 140's.

I read many posted from folks over 200 lbs. I remember when I got under 200 lbs, it was an awesome feeling. I set my goals 10 lbs at a time and ended up losing over 80 lbs in 8 months.

Thanks for inviting me back! I need you guys! THANKS! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Sandra
 
I thought I had a bad week, exercised, but had a really hard time keeping within my points and this was BEFORE Easter! Stepped on the scale and lo and behold, I LOST 2.8 lbs!!!!!! I think I am getting back on track and feel great!!

Congrats to everyone else and hang in there!

I weighed in this morning, and .... WOO HOO!! I lost 3 pounds!! That's 6.5 since I started WISH on 4/01. It also means I get a nifty new clippie (trying it out below)!!! :Pinkbounc

Welcome back SandraC! :) Great job on those losses, Tara, Nancy, mickeyfan1 (you enjoy that Vegas trip!) and Cathy!!! Keep up the great work! :teeth:
 
I'm going to Disney in TEN days!!!! Tomorrow I plan to do the single digit dance all day. I'll burn lots of calories that way!!

My weight loss has slowed down a bit the last two weeks. I was losing between 2.5 - 3.5 pounds a week and now I'm only losing about two. I'm going to try to change up my menus this week and add even more variety to my workout routine. I'm going to start tanning too. Maybe that will help...

This week: 2 pounds
Total WISH: 20 pounds
TOTAL since 1/1: 34 pounds !!!!

10 Days and 3 Pounds to lose before I go to DISNEY!! I only have one more "official" weigh in before I leave so this will be a tough week. I know I can do it though and I can't wait until my sister see's all the weight I have lost since Christmas!!

Keep up the great work everyone!!!

I'm happy. :D I lost 0.6 lbs. That may not be a lot, but to me that's not bad considering Springbreak and Easter. So I'm happy with that loss. Besides that's over 2 sticks of butter!! :p
 
Congrats to all the "losers" this week....and those maintainers!!! :)
Well, I weighed in this morning...after a busy weekend, a Easter brunch (had cheescake!!! :) ) and being sick to my stomach for all of Sunday night! I was planning to be happy to just maintain after this weekend...but I lost 3lbs!!!!!!! :) yahoo!!!!!!!!!
I could not believe it...I think the WATP tapes are helping me so much and so is WISH! Everyone here really makes me stay committed to this! Thanks!! I am off to get my new clippe!!!! :)

Glad to have you with us SandraC!! Just think back to last year, and we were at WDW at this time, getting our babies 1st hair cuts! ;) I'm ready to go now!! :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

Best of luck in your weight loss! We're all in this together! :)
 
I only lost 1lb. this week but we went away for the weekend and while I was good - I wasn't that good so I guess I should be grateful for any loss at all. I was soooooo hoping to still be able to post a 2 lb. loss but every bit helps in the end.

Congrats to all my fellow "losers"!
 
Well, not for me here. I am getting closer to the 5 pound GAIN instead of loss. Still can’t get my groove on. I always have excuses. I will keep reading and maybe get that umph I need.

I am figuring out where it is all going for you. I feel like I am at the end of the line picking up all the leavings from everyone! (Still grinning and bearing it—keeping the sunshine in my life).

Congratulations to all for being here.
 
<b>mickeyfan1</b> I'm so proud of you! You are doing so well! You have a wonderful attitude and you are working out. You are wearing a <b>smaller size</b>! Who cares how much you weigh if you can wear a smaller size?

You have made me smile! Have a wonderful time in Las Vegas. If you win lots of money will you fly me out to see you in Arizona? You know how much I love it out there ;)

<b>perfectmatch300</b> I'm glad you posted about your loss again, it's fun to read success stories :teeth:

You are such a dedicated walker and when you walk you <b>really walk</b>, I know because I've actually tried to keep up with you before ;)

Good for you for being so dedicated to your exercise. I'm proud of you, my friend.

<b>lmhall2000</b> Look at you go!!! Good for you losing two more pounds. 8 sticks of butter gone forever ;)

You are so dedicated to your work out plan, too. WOW! I am truly impressed with all of your activity.

You are even ahead of schedule! Goodness! I'm so glad you are part of my support group. Look at what a good example you are for me. I'm very proud of you :)

<b>SandraC</b> You were always in our hearts, even when you didn't visit WISH.

I have absolutely no doubt that you are going to accomplish your new goals. I know you can do it. We will do it together, okay? You encourage me and I'll encourage you.

Do me a favor, though? Visit WISH more often. You are a good influence for me to have around. Welcome back and welcome home.

<b>CC</b> I am <b>so proud</b> of you! Way to go. How do you do it? How do you stumble with your eating plan and still lose 2.8 pounds in one week? You are a wonder!

Good for you, you are making wonderful progress and I'm very proud of you. You were probably worried that I wasn't proud of you, huh? ;)

<b>DiznEeyore</b> WOWSER! You lost 3 pounds this past week? That is awesome progress! Way to go, my friend.

Love that new clippie of yours. Don't get too attached, though, at the rate you're going you will be trading up again very soon :)

<b>AWilliams</b> You are <i>only</i> losing about two pounds? <b><i>Only??</i></b> So, I should be really, really depressed, right? I gained another two pounds of fluid, that makes 4 pounds of fluid I'm carrying :(

Well, I refuse to be depressed about that because I'm too happy for <b>you losing TWO WHOLE POUNDS</b> in just one week.

You are doing so well and you are a great success. Be proud of yourself, be very proud.

Your sister's are going to be so surprised when they see you again. They are going to be proud of you too :)

Have a great week, the last one before your trip :teeth:

<b>TCKK</b> Woo Hoo! .6 pounds gone forever. Slow and steady wins the race, sweetie. You are doing great! I'm really proud of your progress and I'm really proud of your attitude. Very positive!

You are such a great part of my support group, I appreciate your positive attitude and motivation so much :)

<b>kamgen</b> You cheated and you still lost 3 pounds. Amazing...no fair, but amazing ;)

You are doing great with this new and healthy life style of yours. Good job. I'm proud of you and I'm really glad you are here on WISH to help keep me motivated.

<b>CrzyforPiglet</b> Uh oh. You've done it now. Everyone say it with me: <i>"What do you mean you only lost one pound?"</i>

You lost the equivalent of four sticks of butter! You have lost <b>one whole pound</b> and you weren't even all that good :eek:

I think you should be feeling proud of yourself for doing this. I think you should realize that you are a success. <i>I'm</i> proud of you. You are a great inspiration to me.

I think you are doing great. Keep up the good work, sweetie.

<b>Tiger Lily 03</b> {{{HUGS}}} my friend. Finding the motivation to take those first steps is the hardest part of the entire process. I know because I've been where you are now before.

Sit down and make a list of all the benefits you will realize from losing weight. A smaller size is the least of these benefits. First on the list will be better health, more energy and lots more fun.

I happen to believe that when you decide to do this, you will certainly do it and no one will be able to stop you. You are the only person standing in the way at this moment of time. You will make that decision when you are ready.

I hope you are ready soon. I can't wait to see how successful you are going to be, because you <b>will</b> be successful, I know that just as well as I know that you are a motivational presence for me here on WISH. You will do this when you decide to and we'll be here waiting for you when you do decide :)

I don't weigh until Thursday, officially. I weighed in this AM because of taking the Alex challenge and found that the bloat fairy had been to my house <i>again</i>. I ask you, is that fair?

Not going to be upset, though. I don't officially weigh in until Thursday and that's two whole days away still :teeth:

Katholyn - my friend! My mentor, my cheerleader!!!! I am hanging in, but somedays I have to stay away from the WISH, to many people talking about food!!! It makes me want to eat bad things.

If I hit the big one, I will fly you out here, we will lay out in the pool and drink fuzzy water, and have not a care in the world. Then we will go to WDW for a few days of grown up fun.

If I don't hit the big one, I will meet you in WDW in August, along with a few of the riddlers and we will drink fuzzy water there and watch Illuminations.

I hope my tread mill gets here soon, I am looking forward to burning off some more pudge.
 
Katholyn, Barry (my DH, for those of you that don't know him :teeth: ) is the fast walker in my family! He just drags me along behind him! :earseek:
Seriously, that's one of the reasons I like to walk with him! On my own I walk soooo slow, but he really pushes me by the pace he sets. Besides, it's really good to have the quality time we get together while walking. We've had some great conversations without the distractions of the TV, etc to bother us. I guess that's a good fringe benefit of all this walking. :D
 
I'm doing a happy dance this morning - 2 pounds lost this week for a total of 6! It seems the new found inspriration and support from my friends here has put me back on track!!! Celebrate every success in the hard times. On a few bad days it helped me to celebrate every meal where I made the right choices. The celebrated meals became celebrated days this week. Thank you again to those who inspire me, I have a long road ahead...
 
Today is my weigh in and....

<font color=green>I lost another 7 pounds!!</font>:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

I am so excited!! I know it is going to start slowing anyday now, so I have to enjoy this as long as I can! LOL I am so glad that Atkins is working for me!! I had every intention of eating some goodies today (carbolite), but I am not sure if I want to now! LOL...I think I am afraid of gaining it back...

Anyway, thought I would share my happiness!! That makes a total of 18 pounds so far!!! I can tell I am making some progress because my clothes feel slightly different on me!

:):) Thanks for all the support I have received here! I don't think I could have done this without all of you!! :):)
 
I will post my (hopefully) weight loss on Friday.
I will be getting measured and weighed at Curves that day.

Did anyone see the piece on Dateline about the diets?

The man that was trying Atkins was a little scary. I am glad they sent him the prepackaged meals.

ahutton and Beanie, great job on those losses! Isn't it wonderful to say goodbye to those pounds forever?? :teeth:
 
Wow! Great losses Beanie and Ahutton- THAT IS AWESOME!!! Keep us motivated with those great numbers!
Tara
 
Just back from my meeting. I lost .08. I'm happy with that. I had kind of made a mini-goal with myself to try and lose 2 lbs. a week between now and vacation so I'd be down another 14 by then but obviously it didn't happen this first week! Oh well! Onward and, uh, downward???! :D

I'm just .8 away from reaching 30 lbs. so I'm going to try really hard this next week to drink my water and see if I can reach it. I so want that 30 clippie!!!

Everyone keep up the good work! What an awesome group we have here!
