267.2 Down .6 from last week. But hopefully some of that is water retention due to is being ‘that time’ again, because I’m sure i did better than that this week.
Aim for this week - get more exercise!

Down 3 pounds this week! Its a happy day. Especially because I had a dream last night that I had pasta 2 days in a row! Glad it was just a dream! Here is a spunk to go with my weigh in. Yesterday my mom asked how much I weigh so that she knows how much she should lose to look like me. Oh yeah! I was so excited. Then when I told her, my dad said he though I was around 145, and surprised I weigh so much. It was a great weekend!

209.4/199.2/150 [230s highest ever]
Yay!!! I’m officially down 10 pounds since re-starting my food tracking and (very slowly) adding in exercise. I really feel that God is calling me to get my eating under control and become healthier this time around, and that’s making it easier to do. I have still had some not-so-good days, but it’s easier to remember that as long as I get right back on track as soon as I can, I’ll eventually get there. Now that I’ve inched back into the hundreds (!) my next short term goal is to reach the 180s, hopefully by the new year.

I’m actually down 2 despite a pretty bad week. Probably water retention last Monday. My aim for this week is to keep to a routine of getting up at a sensible hour and going to the library in the morning, get some exercise every day and go to the uni gym at least once.

Debs–Hey, a loss is a loss, ESPECIALLY during this time
Nikki–that’s GREAT!!
Lorri–congrats! Great job!
Bekki–super!
120…still goal tending. I have to say, it feels weird not dieting anymore. Yet, I am not going hog-wild. That would be foolish after I have come this far. Besides, I LOVE the Beachy way of eating! I don’t know when I will have white sugar or flour again.

257/183/145ish +2
Alright, the damage was done and I do have somewhat of an action plan in motion for this week. Last night I sat down and wrote out my meal and snack plan for the entire week and I will stick with it! It’s on the fridge and before bfast this morning and for a snack I referred to it. It’s not just what I can eat, it’s what I will be eating for that particular moment.
Secondly, I changed the number in the beginning of the number sequence to reflect where I started when I started this weight loss. I found OWOA long after I began working (semi working I guess…). I changed it because I REALLY need to see continually where I’ve been, what I’ve accomplished and tell myself that I CAN accomplish these last 40 pounds. Today I am literally 2/3 of the way there.
I need some major accountability guys. If anyone feels led to check in on me a lot I’d really appreciate it. I really need it.
My goals this week are to eat according to what I already have planned out and go to the gym Mon-Fri. I also want to spend time with the Lord EVERY morning when I get up which requires getting up at 5am with Jeff since the little ones get up between 6 and 6:30.
I want to weigh 175 by Thanksgiving and it is going to take work!

Great job guys.. I am so glad I started weighing with you all!
168/156/130..Down 3!
I would like to be under 150 by Nov. 10 (Marine Corps Birthday Ball!!)

Thanks Debs! And please, bug the buggers out of me! Here or via email.
Comment by Tami — October 22, 2007 @ 10:56 am |Edit This
130 and holding. No goals other than to get through my things-to-do list without exploding.
Comment by Anita — October 22, 2007 @ 10:59 am |Edit This
Tami-
You have come so far. Great action plan for this week. You are soooo gonna make it to 175 by Thanksgiving! You rock. Just remember you are so worth being thin. It feels better and looks better! We are so behind you to get you there. Can I ask how tall you are?
Comment by Nikki — October 22, 2007 @ 11:27 am |Edit This
(blest is grateful for the cheekiness of Debs!)
128.4
My goals are all about continuing to tone what I got! I am not satisfied with just keeping the weight the same. I want to continue to gain in strength and fitness.
Comment by blestwithsons — October 22, 2007 @ 11:39 am |Edit This
Nikki, I’m 5′5″. According to charts I’m supposed to be somewhere between…oh I forget. Something like 115-135 however when I was 232 my Dr. said that if I could get to 150 (and stay) he would be very happy. Some German bones going on in this body!
We’ll see. It’s funny because when I was 257 my goal was 175 and a size 14. Yeah…that goal so changed. I’m shooting for 145 but just like many of the gals here it’s not solid. The end result may change a wee bit.
Comment by Tami — October 22, 2007 @ 11:51 am |Edit This
Yeah my goal was 160, but that totally changed too. Its funny when you get closer to the number you think you want to be at and go…oh I have way more fat than I thought I would at this number! I am 1lb heavier than when I got married, but way way way fatter! You will do so well. You have done so well!
Comment by Nikki — October 22, 2007 @ 11:54 am |Edit This
Well done to all those losses. Tami you have come so far. Well done for the plan of action, so much eaier to cope when you are organised.
I was down 2 to lowest ever 167.2 (up last week)which is good but this is about where I want to be so I expect to go and up and down a little around the 168 mark.
I think my goal at the moment is to not gain again which seems a little negative in a way. i think its cos I can’t quite believe i got here.
Another goal for this week is to be productive with the time as its half-term adn I am on holiday. Today has been good as we foodshopped, defrosted the freezer and made the Christmas cake - its in the oven now. Am going away with Hubby on Thursday to Devon for 2 nights. We will see HP and just have some time together. Looking forward to that ands it’s an incentive to get on and get other things done this end of the week. Sometimes I just drift through half term and then am really cross with myself at the end of it.

Way to go all of you with losses! Tami - you have the right idea reminding yourself of how far you have already come. I think the food planning is a great idea, it’s so often the mindless eating when there’s no plan that gets us down (at least for me).
No weigh-in for me this week - I’m away at my parents’ for a few days and I’m sure their scale is different from ours so I’m not going to worry about it. I did go for a run on Saturday night here which felt good. I’ll try to go again tonight so it won’t have been a whole week without exercise.

239.8. staying stable.
We’re having a rough day. My husband’s cousin died last night in a car accident.
I need to lose more weight. I am tired of losing 10 and then plateauing, etc. But I am happy to be maintaining at least, even with all that has been going on here.

stayed the same 176 —-
Comment by Maria — October 22, 2007 @ 3:54 pm |Edit This
Ugh. I think the number I read on my scale this morning was 139.6. I do not want to go back into the 140’s… grrr. My goal for the next few days is to make sure to eat my 5 fruits/veggies that I’ve been neglecting, and then my goal for Thurs-Sun (when I’ll be out of town) is to just eat as well as is possible. Am thinking about officially rejoining WW but don’t necessarily want to spend the money. My goal? To be back under 135 in 2 months. That’s about 2 and 1/4 pounds per month to lose, not mentioning the fact that I need to halt and reverse my upward trend. I’ve got my work cut out for me!

Hi everyone! Well, I didn’t weigh in on Monday because I had an aweful weekend and was afraid to step on the scale. My plan was to weigh Tue morning and report in, but I forgot to do that before heading into work. So I’ll just wait until next Monday.
Since I had such a bad weekend and because my husband would also like to loose some weight, I’m back on Phase 1. This will allow me to get back on track and it’ll allow me to help him through Phase 1. I’m excited that he’s doing this with me! Yeah!
Congrats to all on the losses! Have a great week!

Cristina, you can do it
Have a good week, and let us know if there’s any way we can help you stay on track.
big hugs xx

Hiya ladies! And Birdo.
Our principal took all the lead teachers to Austin this weekend for a banquet, so I didn’t get back into town until TWO O’CLOCK this morning!!! Since we got in so late I stayed in town at my friend’s house.
All that to say, I wasn’t able to weigh in yesterday OR today (and my suitcase was too stuffed to take my scale w/ me; something I notice Bird & Brandi do quite often).
For the most part, my friend Melissa and I did well over the weekend, despite all the temptations. We’re out of Phase 1 and she’s already lost FIFTEEN POUNDS! I know I haven’t lost nearly that much, but we’ll just have to wait until next Monday to check.
Y’all have a great week!

210/150.8/145ish
I’m not sure when I last weighed in, but I think I’m either the same or down one. Once I get down to 145, I may decide to go for 140. We’ll see.
