friday weigh in

Hi ya'll! I know it's Monday, but I thought maybe somebody might be interested in a Friday weigh in club.  I have lost 60 pounds and have another 30 to go. I usually weigh every day, twice a day actually. Since I am losing slower now and I tend to eat out on the week end and have water gain on Monday, I thought maybe just once a week on Friday would be better. What do you guys think?  I started at 245, weigh 184.5 and am going for 155. Take care, linda

Hi fatdoc! Congrats on your weight loss accomplishment. horray for you!!! Please don't start think you'll gain it all back. Just remember what you've learned here and in your weight loss and you will get to your goal!! I have 20 pounds left and I started at 245. Seems I have been maintaining now for a while or at least losing very slowly. But I am determined to get to my goal if it takes me till Christmas!! Weight today 175, goal 155! linda

thanks Linda...one day at a time for me. Great news on your accomplishments!!

Well folks,

Today I was down another 4.5 lbs. I have been working on making a rock garden this week and moving large rocks for several days. I promise this takes off the weight, almost like ditch digging, lol. Keep up the good work everyone. As of today the total weight loss is 78.5 lbs. I am very happy and pleased with myself and this commitment.

I seem to be the only member of this forum now...Nonetheless, this week I took off 0.4 lbs. I find this a bit of a let down, but then remember that last week there was a 4.5lb loss and if we average those together in the past two weeks I have lost 2.5 lbs each week. Thank goodness these things are reframeable. As I get closer to the goal, I will have to work on relaxing about the numbers. I am working on habit change and the weight loss will follow.

Here it is Friday again and today I weighed with only my undies 190.5. That is 83.5 lbs since December. I am psyched.

Hi friday weigh -iners! I am sorry I have been off the wagon for a while, but now I am back on track, at least since wed. So that is 3 days. Monday I weighed and I was back up to 177. So I knew I had to mean business and get serious. So I upped my walking from 3.6 miles to 4.8 miles every morning, and cut my calories to between 1300 and 1500. I was guesstimating my cal intake and i wasn't doing too good at it.  So this morning I weighed in at 171. I know most of the weight loss is water weight. Cause  3 weeks ago I was 171.5. So thank God at least I am back where I was. Now I shall get this last 16 pounds off of me. Also I am down 74 pounds now. I has taken me since dec 04. Slow but steady wins the race and this race is going to be for LIFE. God Bless linda

Fantastic news Linda. One day at a time is the name of this game. I went backpacking and camping for a few weeks and today my weight is down another 3 lbs even on vacation when I allowed myself not to count and list foods. That is a pleasure. As of today i am down almost 90 lbs total to 184.2. Don't quite know what the final goal is, but I imagine another 10 to 15 lbs. I will see where this stabilizes.

Well this week I logged in at 179.8!! I am now into the moderately overweight level, rather than severely overweight. Total being 94.2 lbs off. I am psyched and hope that I can be 100 lbs less by the start of school. can you imagine my student's faces?

wow- congrats you guys are doing awesome!! I like the friday idea (yeah yeah i am new to this whole place). I usually have a harder time during the weekend. I started the week at 147, and weighed in today at 144.5. Yay me.

Wow Tania,

great work. I love friday because it allows me to go into the weekend pleased with myself and motivated. Keep it us, tag this forum and let us know how you are doing.

HI all...  Today is Friday and I have been going crazy because last friday  I was at 133 lbs.   and then Monday came around and I was at 134 1/2 lbs...  GRRR!!!     But today I got on that scale and I was back down to 133lbs.   Whooo hooo!!!  I just have to say good this weekend..  I have a hard time because I don't log in my food on the weekend..  but this weekend I am.. 

So all together I am down 30 lbs.  My Trainer wants about 5 more pounds..  and I want to see at least 8 more.  But these last pounds are the killer.  But I am keeping with it and I am going to do it...   Well hope everyone has a nice FRIDAY!!   Ta Ta!!

Today I weighed in .75 lbs less with a total of 96 and 1/2 lbs. This week was slower, but I am grateful for the little bit extra. I was away for the weekend and wanted to maintain. I guess I did and lost a bit more.

173.2 lbs today. I have reached and surpassed the 100 lb loss mark. Yeah!!

urgh, starting over. 308.

fatdoc!  That is fantastic!!!!!!!!  Congratulations!!!!! 

fatdoc, can you tell us how you really got started and kept going?  I get started pretty fine, but I always seem to quit within a few weeks.  I have 0 confidence that this will be any different this time.

Down 3 lbs this week!

Today's weigh in: 174 lbs

Total loss: 64 lbs!
