Saturday Weigh-In Group that Rocks :)

cool. so this is our new topic thingy because our last one was three pages!!!

btw, this group is closed to any newcomers!!!

this week wasnt as great as last week soo....my loss slowed down .... i think im about the same.....128ish and yeah im not drinking enough water either.....but i just made a cup of tea:) and im trying to eat alot more protein...i really dont think i was getting enough before......

 I am at 157 this week. :(. Yesterday I was with my friends. They are all so skinny and wat so much so I at like way too much food and candy!!!!!!! I was at 155 on Friday but have gained 2 lbs from yesterday :( I am sooooo depressed now. Please encourage me to actually loose this week.

Ok so the chart......

....

lucydawn (GW 161) wk1 186 wk2 177 wk3 176 wk4 174.5 wk5 172.5 wk6 174 wk7 173 wk8 174 wk9 171.5 (-14.5 overall): Great job this week! You have lost almost 15lbs!!! That's phenomenal! I wish I could say that. You only have almost 10lbs until you reach your goal weight! At this rate, you should reach that goal in just over a month!

staps065 (GW 200) W1 245 W2 244.5 W3 247 W4: 245 wk5 248 wk6 241 wk7 244 wk8 236 wk9 237.5 (-7.5 overall): As I have said before, I a little gain is not bad. Is is still not as bad as mine has been. You have the will power and can fight the treats that are terrible for you. I know it is hard.

africanlover4ever (GW130-135) wk1 163 wk2 159.5 wk3 157 wk4 156 wk5 155 wk6 155.5 wk7 155 wk8 156 wk9 157(- 6 overall)

dinarly (GW 150) wk1 184.6 wk2 186.4 wk3 183.5 wk4 181.4 wk5 181.2 wk6 181.2 wk7 178.6 wk8 179 wk9 180.8 (-3.8 overall; 1.8 this week): A little gain is ok. At least its not as big as mine has been! Keep yourmind set on losing weight and it will happen. You have the will power!

enimzaj (GW 114) wk1 128 wk2 127 wk3 127 wk4 129 wk5 129 wk6 133 wk7 131 wk8 128 wk9 128 (0 overall, -3 this week): Its great that you can maintain that well. Its not bad to be the same. Like I have said for everyone else, take control of your mind and have will power! Make healthy choices. A lot of people dont eat enough protein so it is good for you to do so! Stay away from bad carbs and too mcuh sugar (I know sugar is a carb).

hasta (GW 125) wk1 139 wk2 139.6 wk3 140.6 wk4 139.6 wk5 139.8 wk6 140 wk7 141 wk8 141.4 wk9 141.2 (+2.2 overall): Keeping the same weight is not really bad. You can lose if you put your mind to it. Most of this process is mental so just talk to your mind before you make a choice. You can do it!

 Ok so the message for almost everyone is to have the will power and focus on your goals :).

Great job lucydawn! You are the weight loss winner for the week. Let's start a weight loss winner every week for the person who SAFELY loses the most!

Heya,

Am 170lbs this week.

Been much more organised and making packed lunches which has helped. Friday my dad bought this veeeery yummy chocolate log for easter and it was so nice that it has all gone now!! Apart from that naughty slip up have been quite good this week.

Hope everyone else had a good week and gd luck for next week too :)

It's water, I know it's water, due to change in medication which I won't go into, but it's still difficult.  Actually my feet are still visibly swollen and slightly painful, but I walked a bit more despite it all yesterday, and am feeling better.

This is just going to be a blip in the long term.

Good week (except for last night; concernt at House of Blues in Orlando) and maintained 237.0. Would like to see a loss, but I'm sure it will come.

Hi all.  A tiny, tiny move downward to 139.8.  Not bad since its TTOM. 

Dinarly, I'm  sure your right about the water.  By next week it will probably have settled and you be back on your way.

Congrats on your continued good work Lucy & Staps.

I am sooooooo happy right now! I am PMSing and I still managed to lose, and I have not lost in a long time.

Now, I weigh 153! This is a grand day!

Who wants to do the chart?

 

I may as well since I've got the numbers, sorry for none of the extraneous stuff, but I will say that it works if we work it, and we (collectively) seem to be.

OK: Good week; maintaining but no loss.  I'm finding it hard some days to not go over (slightly) my calorie intke; just too hungry! I should still be seeing some weight loss; right?!  I mean if I'm still under my burn meter by 500 or so calories every day there should some movement! Hmmm!

I'll do the chart this week since I haven't done it yet.  I'll probably wait until Sunday morning to make sure I get everyone.

Straps, it definitely sounds like you should get a payoff this weekend.  Thanks for picking up chart duty.  Hope you have a sunny and gorgeous weekend.  We're supposed to here in Texas.

So last week's gain really was just retention of water.

An interesting thing: I went to the doctor yesterday, and found that my highest weight, in June of last year, was 257 #.  He gave me a printout of my statistics, and I will get the results of some blood tests perhaps as early as today.  So that should be enlightening.

I've been taking dandelion root tea for the past week.  The swelling in my feet was completely gone by Thursday, and I ended up climbing outside stairs, a parking lot spiral ramp, and doing a lot of fruitless running around in trying to find my way to a charity lunch.

I earned that lunch!  It was surprisingly good for that kind of thing, too--a dry-cooked chicken breast and a decent salad.

I suppose I'm back on track now; apparently I can do as much exercise as I please, with little risk of ill effects.  The doctor said that severe anemia can cause the kind of edema I had, but I've started another form of iron in addition to what I already take.  I think I'll continue this as long as I need to.

hey guys! i am at 152!

 

i am happy that i lost some this week....it has not been an entirely good week.

Hey all sorry bit late this week.

Am 171 lbs not suprised as naughty week.

Finding it sooo hard to get to under 168lbs!! =[

Gd work everyone.

OK; what am I doing wrong. I cut and pasted last week's chart and added this week's in and it will not let me post it.  Any ideas? I really do want to do the chart this week. :)

OK; so this posted and the others did not.  maybe it was the cut and paste.  Let me try it otherwise. Although I hate to type it all in.

I weigh the cats every week as well.  Salome weighs fifteen pounds (she's a Ragdoll, and average size for one) and when I think that less than a year ago, I weighed as much more as three of her, it's amazing.  It was like carrying three large cats around all the time--no wonder I felt like -carp-.

I believe im kinda the same or maybe more???but i had alot of club soda yesterday hahh......salty....

so 129lbs...........but ive been pretty healthy this week..:)

im thinking of doing a fast, for springbreak....either the master cleanse or just a fast.....my friend just did a 12 day fast and really liked it... ive been researching the topic now for quite awhile and would try to do it for a week or less....

I am at 152. Not a change but it was my spring break and i ate terribly with only a little exercise!!!!!!!!!

Next week I will do well!!!! :)

Am 169 this week and I bought a pair of UK size 14 jeans today and they actually fit !!

Gd luck everyone.
