  1. 133.6 –> down 0.8.

    What am I thankful for? The faithfulness of God. My family. Um, and… the guy I’m now dating. (eeee!)

    :lol:

  4. 143/128/120ish
    no change

    I have a lot to be thankful for, but what comes to mind right now is the success that my dear, dear hubby has had with “losing the fattie” as he calls it ;-) Seriously, I am so happy for him and for this site that has been instrumental in this blessing. Thanks ladies!!

  5. Who you callin’ fattie?

  6. ooh, congrats to you all - Bird & Brandi. Anne! Yes, do tell!

    147/130/130 Yeah! Down one from 2 weeks ago. And I have seen a couple of days nearer to 129.

    I am thankful for all the fresh vegetables right now. Summer is not my favorite season, but I love the fresh veggies.

  7. 200/167/160

    Down 0.4. Not huge, but it’s down.

    I’m thankful for sunshine. It’s in rather sort supply at the moment, but when it does appear, it’s blissful.

  8. I actually weighed last night, but I was down 2 so I’m taking it. :) I’m thankful that I am home all day today with my three little girls and we’re not leaving the house at all!

  9. I am so embarrassed! I almost didn’t comment because I am so embarrassed! 185/186/160. Yes you read right. I weigh more than I did when I started. So much for vacationing. Its fattening!!! Well this is all a good reason to hop to it again. And I need to do a lot of hopping!

    There are so many things that I am thankful for, but today I am thankful for my husband. Yesterday was our 7th anniversary. Pretty exciting!

  10. Down to 164.4!! That’s down from 176 on June 14!!

    I was “spunked” about 4 different times this weekend!!! One from an old friend (”you’re looking great—what are you doing?”) one from DH’s grandma (”you’re sure slimming down, girl!”) one from my tiny SIL (”That shirt makes you look skinny”) one from a friend at church (”You’re losing while nursing—wow!”) AND I bought some new linen skirts at a regular store that looked really nice! That’s motivation!!

    I am so thankful for my family and for the blessing God has given me in being a mother. I have two sisters-in-law who at this point are unable to conceive and it breaks my heart. Makes me feel so blessed to have three darling little boys!!

  11. 210/158.8/150

    No change this week. We just got back from a weekend trip to the Creation Museum, and though I stuck to my diet, I didn’t exactly eat at regular intervals like I’m used to. Don’t know if that had anything to do with no loss or not.

    BTW, if you can make it to the Museum, you should DEFINITELY go.

  12. I gained what I lost last week. :(
    I’m up 1.6
    My sister is in town and she’ll be here for another week, so my eating has been off. I’ve tried sticking to my diet but have detoured more than usual, although I’ve stuck to working out.
    I’m hoping that the 1.6 is not all due to my detours, I’m hoping some of it is water retention. I guess we’ll see next week.
    Have a great week everyone!

  13. 264/250.2/130 (245 short term goal)

    I am so mad at myself - I was 248 on Saturday morning, then we went to a movie!!! And my dh got us popcorn and while I tried to resist… ugh. I know that it’s pretty much water, since I always balloon with salt/carbs like that. But it’s MONDAY and I wanted to have lost weight, like I was doing, and now I look like I’ve gained.

    Okay, end of rant.

    Someone on my vacation noticed that I have lost weight. She pulled out a picture from last summer, and while it’s not much, 15 lbs does show a bit.

    (p.s., if anyone feels like praying for her, my mom (her name is Becky) is STILL ill. The colonscopy went fine, but we’re waiting on biopsy results. She has lost so much weight and it’s not a good way to lose!)

    Comment by Tracy — July 16, 2007 @ 8:41 am |Edit This

  14. Don’t be mad at yourself, Tracy. One thing of popcorn shared betwixt your family is not that bad. It’s water. Let it go…and go…and go… :lol:

    212.8/131.2/135

    And speaking of water…up 2. Does anyone besides me wanna ask God why, in addition to pain in childbirth, we get water retention??? :wink:

  15. 126/116/115
    No change from the last time I weighed in but the gauntlet has been thrown down by Blest to finally get the last pound off by the anniv. next week. More PT, less chocolate!

    One thing I am thankful for is a godly, loving husband who is coming home TONIGHT after being gone for 5.5 weeks! hmmm…. perhaps I will get that last pound off by next week!! :)

    Comment by Sarah — July 16, 2007 @ 9:05 am |Edit This

  16. I forgot to say what I’m thankful for….my husband and daughter and brother and sister and parents and other family and friends.

    Comment by Cristina — July 16, 2007 @ 9:21 am |Edit This

  17. I’m at 261.8 which is 3.4 down from last week.
    Hurrah! And that’s with life being manic lately. Will have to post more about that at some point, but anyway, yay!!!!
    :grin:

    Comment by Debs — July 16, 2007 @ 11:14 am |Edit This

  18. I’m thankful for our washing machine, and anti-histamine tablets and cream.

    Comment by Debs — July 16, 2007 @ 11:15 am |Edit This

  19. Oh Debs! I’m thankful for antihistamine tables and cream too! I get allergic reactions ALL the time!

    216\194\145 Up. Alot. Three pounds I think. Christy and I are starting Phase 1 of South Beach today though. And we are checking on each other daily to make sure we stay the course. So, hopefully, lots of changes soon. I’m tired of being stuck and ready to actually do something about it now!

    What am I thankful for? My family. Boy are they a blessing. From my hubby to my kiddos to parents, siblings and even lovely in-laws. I’m very blessed!

  20. Anita! Hitting goal! Weigh to go!

    And Anne, what fun news!

    Comment by Bethany — July 16, 2007 @ 1:04 pm |Edit This

  21. Congrats Nikki on your anniversary. Well done for being brave and sharing even though you were embarassed. You are on the road just by being in this group so just keep going.
    My weight
    220/176.4/175
    Down .8
    Not sure if I can make the goal by next week but would like to. I know I have been below 175 on several times lately (just not on Mondays) so it is possible.

    I am thankful for my family, my husband and 3 lovely daughters. We were together over the weekend which was fun with HP’s boyfriend added in as well.
    I love the way they take things in their stride and we can laugh about the awful stuff that is happening right now. Its ok nothing life threatening but we have bed bugs and it is not fun. Life feels in chaos at the moment. Debs has been a bit freaked out by it, well I guess we all have but life goes on.

  22. 198/163/140

    Down one in two weeks. Actually, when I weighed myself Sunday I was 162 - does that get me extra points?

    I’m thankful for life. My dear friend and co-worker died unexpectedly Saturday night at the age of 41 - not sure, but probably brain aneurism. Thankfully she knows the Lord - we work at our church.

    Comment by Caroline — July 16, 2007 @ 1:19 pm |Edit This

  23. Oh Caroline… words fail. But y’know - at least she’s home with the Lord and not stuck in limbo like my friend Heidi. [[[[hugs]]]]

  24. Oh! I forgot to say what I’m thankful for - and it was my idea!! :oops:

    I’m thankful for…sunshine!
    Mega Clearance Sales!
    Appliances
    my iPod and Treadmill and Coffee maker especially!
    MUSIC!
    YOU!!!!

    And lots of other stuff -plus the normal stuff like family. :wink:

  25. 207.5/159/120ish

    -1

    I’m thankful for my health and my awesome 2 1/2 yr old nephew, Braxton.

  26. 215/210.5/150

    Down 1.5!

    I’m thankful for webcams. It’s so nice to able to see my husband’s face a few times a week, and a huge change from his last deployment.

    Nikki- Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Last month I was over 216, one pound above my starting weight, too!

    Comment by Christy — July 16, 2007 @ 7:02 pm |Edit This

  27. Hurray! I seem to have un-plateaued! Down two from last week.

    I am thankful for Charles Dickens, because Barnaby Rudge is an *amazing* book — have to get off the ‘puter to go read more. Also for avocado and summer peaches, and for my sweet 2yo who is picking up more words every day. And for welcome financial news — I have a fellowship for the next year, which will make it much easier for me to pursue this degree I feel called to pursue.

    Comment by CJ — July 16, 2007 @ 9:02 pm |Edit This

  28. Ooh congratulations CJ! I’m surrounded by academics who seem to be constantly applying for funding (and hoping to become one myself). It’s good to know God’s in control, even of funding bodies.
