Good Morning and Happy Monday!! It’s another fabulous weigh-in day here at OWOA. Are you ready for it? Today I want some ideas along with the digits.
a) We need a new contest. Suggestions??
b)I’m working on guidelines for members who have reached goal. I’m calling it “Goal-tenders”. For starters, Goaltenders do not post change in weight in their weigh-ins anymore. Just post your weight. Any suggestions for Goaltenders?

200/168.8/160
:-( Up again, 3.4 up from the last time I weighed myself which was 10 days ago. Very tired, in need of a holiday and not doing very well on the eating front, not helped by going to a wedding last Saturday.
Well, I am going on holiday this Saturday. My plan is to do as well as I can for the rest of August, but come September, make a fresh start on sorting out things like regular exercise and eating properly. I’m going to have a big change in my routine anyway, as I’m leaving my job to study full time. If I can build in good habits as I start to build up a new routine, that will help.

294/260.8/260 (short term goal)
I think this is my lowest (by .2) so far
I’m down .8 from last week. And also went to the same wedding as Bekki!
Actually I’ve not been feeling well this weekend, so although that meant I sat out the dancing at the wedding reception it also meant that I haven’t really been feeling that hungry. Don’t worry, I have been eating! It just meant it wasn’t really hard to turn down things like the chocolate cheesecake, which on a normal appetite day would have been hard to resist!
Comment by Debs — August 6, 2007 @ 7:08 am |Edit This
No change. Well, maybe up a smidge. But I have a cheapo scale and only count whole pounds. There was a birthday BBQ last night that I’m sure contributed. I did exercise a little more this last week, so that’s good. Still working on getting that back into the routine.
Yes! I think we need a contest or something. I’ve been feeling very lazy lately. Goaltenders concept sounds interesting. Can’t wait to hear more.
Comment by Anita — August 6, 2007 @ 7:14 am |Edit This
How about a summer photo competition? Or since probably not everyone’s got a digital camera or wants to post pictures a virtual snapshot - describing a moment in your summer that encapsulates something about how you’ve changed or what’s good about life right now. One of those moments when you just want to say “click” and capture that atmosphere to remember when things aren’t quite so good. Which isn’t very competitiony unless we all vote on our favourites, but might be a fun thing to do anyway.
Comment by Bekki — August 6, 2007 @ 7:26 am |Edit This
Competition - who can kill the most bed bugs?
Sorry, need to think outside the box, or rather house!
Actually, we have been finding less of them lately. We’re having the company come and re-spray today, so hopefully we really are coming towards the end now. We just have to deal with all the stuff that is everywhere in the house.
Sorry, this comment had absolutely nothing to do with weight-loss, so I’d better end it by saying did you spot how I’m now at my lowest weight for, well a long long time! YAY!

No change this week. I am up for a contest but have no clue what to do. Just want to also say that today is my anniversary and I am married to the most wonderful man. God has blessed me richly. I won’t be here next week for weigh in as I am leaving Friday to go out of town. Have a blessed day all.

184. I think I am going nowhere fast. There has been no change for a while. Up 2 down 2. 184 seems to be my Monday number. I haven’t been around much because my hubby is off work from a broken wrist, so I haven’t been on the computer much. I walked last night and plan on going again daily. The county fair is this week, so that should be interesting!!!! No idea on a contest. I’ll think on it.
Comment by Nikki — August 6, 2007 @ 8:09 am |Edit This
No change this week, again, but I think it’s a girl thing…
No contest ideas at the moment but I’ll ponder … I like the photography idea, though.
Comment by stephanie — August 6, 2007 @ 8:17 am |Edit This
Yeah Debs…looks like you need to rethink your short term goal…that’s awesome!
Don’t worry Bekki, sounds like you’re on the right path with planning to sort things out and start fresh…sometimes we need that…a fresh start.
Happy Anniversary Kellie!
I’m definitely up for a contest…I did so well on the last competition we had and I would love to get another one going. I think the competitions really get motivated…I hate to loose…ha ha ha! How about we do another competition similar to the last one? We could do a 10 week or 12 week…and also have the weekly bonus point. We could go ahead and chart out what the weekly bonus will be ahead of time (when the contest starts) that weigh everyone knows ahead of time what is coming (just in case some don’t log on sunday or monday or tuesday or whenver the bonus comes out)…and we can contribute $XX (can’t remember what we did last time) and have the top 2 or 3 winners and give the money back in gift cert to amazon or something like that. I would be willing to help compile list of weekly bonus and track weigh ins or whatever I can help with.

Strange, I thought I’d posted my weigh in too. oh, well, here it is again!
264/245.8/130 (short term goal is -20 lbs.) - 18.2 lbs lost so far.
I lost 3.4 lbs this week. Increased exercise worked. Less appetite, more calories spent, more loss. Goodbye 249ish rut! Hello new lowest weight in years!
on to another week. I’m excited to think I might make -20 lbs this week if I keep at it. Though I had to start Provera today so I might have water gain until my cycle starts (TMI, sorry, Bird, but I don’t have regular cycles on my own, thanks to infertility, and it’s been too long and no, I’m really not pregnant, and it’s time to make one appear). but I’m going to keep trying!

239.8/224.4/200 (short term goal)
Up .4 this week and I deserve it. I didn’t eat very good, too much snacking at night, although I did good with my workouts.
I’m tired of going up and down 4 pounds for the last couple of months, so I need to re-commit…starting NOW.
I started my food journal this morning and I am determined to stick to it this week and have a great week!

143/125.5/120ish
up .5
Suggestion for a contest…hmmmm…I like the photo idea as well. Another idea that comes to mind is a poetry contest (although I suspect Blest would win!) Poems (serious, humorous, etc.) weight-loss related. Just a random thought! And, no, I am not a poet!
Comment by Brandi — August 6, 2007 @ 9:02 am |Edit This
Weighing at 129.6
Being under 130 makes me smile. I’m sorry, but it does!
My only concern, Cristina, is that 10 or 12 weeks is a bit too long. People seem to lose focus…or is that just me?
Six weeks seems optimal. Hmmm. That would lead us into October… Hmmm.
But then 10 or 12 would be getting us right up to the beginning of the holiday season. ponder ponder…
Comment by blestwithsons — August 6, 2007 @ 9:19 am |Edit This
i’m up for any new contest, but blest i agree that 10-12 weeks is a bit long. perhaps an 8 week contest, a several week break and then a contest that runs from thanksgiving into the new year to keep us focused?
Comment by Anne — August 6, 2007 @ 9:29 am |Edit This
I guess 10-12 weeks might be too long and we might loose focus but on the other hand…we should all be trying to stay focused…with or without a comptetion. Either way…I love the competition, I think it helps me…so I’m up for 3 weeks, 5 weeks, 10 weeks, whatever it might be.
We could do a survey and see what everyone thinks and then go from there.
Anne has a good idea too…do a shorter contest now and then break and then start another one that takes us through the Holidays, I’m sure the Holidays are hard for everyone and this will give us an incentive to stay on track with our healthy eating.
Comment by Cristina — August 6, 2007 @ 9:58 am |Edit This
I was thinking of writing a post to ask for everyone’s input on how long our next contest should go and I was wondering under what category to put it in, so I went to TEAM competition to see if it would make sense to put it there. I noticed the first post…looks like at one point there was a Team competition. Not sure how that worked but that’s another idea…to do it as a team. Or maybe we can do a solo competion and then for the next one that will take us through the holidays we can do a team so that we help each other get through the holidays. Just thinking…

Up 1.2 back but only back to my original goal. As you see I have had a rethink.
Swollen ankles the last couple of days so may be retaining fluid or not drinking enough. It had been very hot for a couple of days. Back to normalish summer temperatures today. Fortumately the sun has helped in drying all the washing we have been doing here.
Not normal routine so its hard to judge whether I have done more or less exercise. None of the just exercise type but have been working hard all week at cleaning out those dreaded bed bugs. Sorry we keep going on about them but it is hard to think about anything else at the moment.
However holiday is coming up from Saturday so Debs, Bekki and I won’t be logging in for the next 2 weeks at least. We are off to Cornwall in a rented house. We plan to do lots of walking as well as some lounging about and just chilling. We will have each other to help us keep on track with the eating but I guess we will have the odd ice cream or two so hope we can at least maintain while we are away.
David could do with losing a little weight too, HP is the skinny one, she always has been, so she is the one who has the forbidden goodies we don’t buy when she is not around.
Competition sorry no ideas at all but will think more clearly when we are back from hols. Its nice to have challenges although I personally don’t get too stressed about winning or losing. Maybe its an age thing or just I know I won’t win.
Stop wittering on girl. Weigh to go fellow OWOAers.
Comment by Elly — August 6, 2007 @ 10:28 am |Edit This
If there was a team-based competition, could all the goal-tenders be together in a team? That way they could “compete” and encourage one another while having a slightly different agenda than the rest of us?
Comment by Anne — August 6, 2007 @ 10:57 am |Edit This
I’m at 143 today, some down 2 from last weigh in. Yay!
Me, I got no ideas. I’m a follower, not a leader.
I do think that something would be nice, though.
Comment by lady laura — August 6, 2007 @ 11:03 am |Edit This
152/148.5/128 - down half a pound this week on my unreliable cheapo scale. I’m wondering if I should get a more accurate scale to judge these things…seriously, I could get on it two minutes later and weigh 3 or 4 pounds different, not sure how helpful that is.
I walked/jogged five times this week, so I feel good about that. My husband has suddenly decided that he needs to lose some weight too and has asked me to help by suggesting healthy snacks and making sure our meals our healthier (with 3 little kids supper sometimes gets decided at the last minute which usually means not that healthy). So I’ve been eating fairly well too. I would have liked to see more of a change but I know I need to be patient, and maybe I’m building a little muscle as well.
Contests - I love photography so that might be fun…I’m up for any kind of challenge as well; the team concept might be fun. We leave early early next Monday for two weeks of holidays, so I may not be around for the next two Mondays. My goal is to still be in the 140s when we get back.

I’m up 1. Actually today I was up 3 from yesterday. I was bummed but tonight I got my reason for the sudden water retention. After being pregnant/nursing for like 3 years straight those 28 days seem to go by so fast. =O(
I’m ALL for a contest….but I don’t really have any ideas at the moment. My brain is fried.
Comment by Mandi — August 6, 2007 @ 6:57 pm |Edit This
I’m back!!!!!
Okay, Let’s see, I’m up 10 to 189…Yeppers 10 ugly pounds since I left July 1st but I have a renewed drive to get the rest of this weight off! When I started loosing weight I was somewhere between 255 and 260. When I started OWOA I was something like 212 or somewhere around there. My goal at the moment is 145 with a short term goal of 185.

Down 4 in two weeks, it feels good to have lost 40 pounds. It just sounds like so much, and people’s eyes start popping when you tell them a number that big. Can’t wait until I can say I’ve lost 60 pounds!

I also like the idea of a team competition…didn’t get to be a part of the last one since we weren’t around back then.
Comment by Brandi — August 7, 2007 @ 7:01 am |Edit This
Still 205
I exercised a little bit, but I have not been good about watching what I eat. And the little bit of exercise — well, I jumped over a fence three times and hurt for 2 days. That’s how out of shape I am. I have also been jogging in place during the 30 seconds I have to wait while flash curing my t-shirts. As a bonus, it makes the time go faster. Thirty seconds is a lot longer when you are just standing there.
Comment by Bethanny D. — August 7, 2007 @ 7:52 am |Edit This
Well I haven’t come up with any ideas for the competition, however everytime I see ‘goal-tender’ I sing it to the tune of ‘Goldfinger’ (the James Bond theme tune). So if anyone fancies trying to figure out what the rest of the words ought to be in our version… Perhaps a challenge for the goal-tenders
