NOvember

marv-mon-weigh-in.jpgWhat is a vember anyway - and why must we say it nay? I’m just wondering…. :lol:

Good Morning and welcome to the final sixth of 2007!!! Just think - you have the chance to greet 2008 at least 10 pounds lighter than you are now! That’s pretty cool! Anyway, Weigh In, tell me what vember should mean, and then go hit the check in post for the first day of the fabulous Shoebox Challenge!

  1. YAYAYAY! I like weigh-ins this week ;-)
    Well last week I was 269.4. This week I am 263 :-)
    That’s down 6.4 people. That’s so exciting. I have been so aware of what I’ve actually put in my mouth and it’s really paid off!
    This week I plan to keep on phase one, but to begin to add in fruit. And also pack and stuff and be excited and try not to panic!

  2. Ok, it looks in my last comment like I have lost 6.4 people. Actually, I have lost 6.4 pounds and got over excited about telling all you people :grin: !

    Yeah people…let this be a lesson to you what cheating and eating a couple pieces of pizza can do to you. Particularly if you are prone to retaining water. I worked my bum this week to…until last night and my fat mind said, “Oh, there’s a new challenge tomorrow. Let’s have pizza tonight. It’s one of those evenings Jeff where I just feel like snuggling down.” SO, does anyone have any ideas what eat when your having one of those evenings where you just feel like tucking in to your living room with your family and throwing a blanket over you and eventually having a cup of hot chocolate? No I didn’t have any of that.
    Alright, I’m with Debs this week. It’s back to Phase 1.

  4. 216/179/185.5 - I am down 6.5 lbs from my last weigh-in (keep in mind that was over 4 weeks ago) - but it’s actually 9.5 lbs down from where I hit my highest and decided to go back to SB Phase 1. But…

    I’M IN THE 170’s!!

    I think I could have lost more as it was originally coming off at a rate of 1/2 lb per day, but I started to eat less and less and then start working out HARD. Well, there went the metabolic momentum - skreeeech! So I’m using a Debs-tactic and starting today. I have to make sure I do not skip any meals or snacks and continue to stay on plan.

    Oh, and YIPPEE to Debs!

  5. Ok Tami, I let off bugging you towards the end of the week, and I apologise. But I will be right back to it this week because I love you :-)
    Most of that has gotta be water, so make sure you drink plenty today, and get right back on the south beach wagon!

    Down 1.2. I was down a little more earlier in the week, but ah well, down is down. Sticking to the Beach, mostly, and sticking to my plan of going to the gym three times a week and working out as hard as I can for an hour or so. Onwards and downwards.

    Down two pounds this week and only two pounds from my goal! I can’t even express how great it feels. And totally unreal. In a good way.

  11. Jana, you are so close. That’s fantastic :-)

  12. 232/226/149

    Up 2.2. Blah! I overdid the good carbs.

    I’m begrudgingly going back to Phase I. My friend Melissa wants to, plus my parents are starting today! You can say a prayer for my dad — he’s a diabetic who’s majorly addicted to carbs and is home alone since mom’s back at work. I fixed his lunch and snacks, so hopefully he’ll stick with it.

    There’s also a couple of teachers here who are starting South Beach because they’ve seen the difference in Melissa and me. How awesome is that?!

  13. You can do it Debbie, don’t give up :-)
    Wow, this south beach thing really is snowballing. Soon the whole world will be doing it!
    Seriously though, I’m praying for your dad.

  14. Ok, you are not going to believe this, but I am down 7 pounds this week! I know it sounds like WAY too much to lose but I ate…a lot. I found that if I eat a lot of veggies then I lose a lot more. I have been eating like crazy!!! Keep in mind that I gained 3 pounds last week, so really I just lost 4 after getting rid of those pesky pounds.

    Great job everybody!

  15. 130.
    Hmmm. A Vember… ember with a V… a spark… of the insanity that begins this month with the HOLIDAYS! EeeeK!

  17. Boo– (short for Debbie, Bird’s sis :-) )
    I’m praying for ya, girl…you know, the cheesecake was one of those things I could never quite handle without gaining…I just couldn’t stick to one serving! Don’t know if that was one of the culprits or not.

    But I am thinking maybe we need to do the pumpkin cheesecake from Kalyn’s Kitchen for Thanksgiving…you interested in tackling it? You have proven to be a superb cheesecake maker! ;-)

    You’ll lose the 2 and more this week on phase 1, I’ll bet. I’m rooting for you!!!

    Comment by Brandi — November 5, 2007 @ 8:53 am |Edit This

  18. 239.8/214/207 (stg for Thanksgiving)
    Down 1.4

    Not sure that I’ll get to my STG by Thanksgiving, but I’m going in the right direction. I’ll needs lots of willpower these next 2 weeks to stick to plan, because the week of Thansgiving we’ll be at my in-laws and unhealthy foods will be in full force. My goal during the week of Thanksgiving is to maintain!!!

    Wow Nikki, 7lbs! That’s awesome! What kind of veggies are you eating? I have been so so so bad about eating veggies lately. I’ve hardly been getting any veggies in. :(

    Comment by Cristina — November 5, 2007 @ 10:15 am |Edit This

  19. Debs, thanks for the encouragement and prayers! We surely do need them!

    Brandi, yeah, I didn’t think about that. But I was good . . . if you call only having 3 pieces over 3 days good . . . it is for me! And I used the cream cheese with less fat. I dunno. I’m not too worried about it, though. And I’ll look up the pumpkin recipe and see what I can do. It sounds yummy!!

  20. 168/153/130..down 1

    Way to go everybody!

  21. Asparagus is my new friend. I always hated it because I hate the way my mom makes it. Now I love it!!! I eat that twice a day and broccoli. I try not to do too many carrots though I love em! But I will eat whatever is in the house. I just try to eat as much of that as possible. It seems to cut the cravings a bit.

    Comment by Nikki — November 5, 2007 @ 12:46 pm |Edit This

  22. Tami- do you get the same retention if you eat one of the frozen S. Beach pizzas? I tried buying one of those and a frozen pizza, and my husband and kids would finish the frozen pizza so it was forced portion control for me!

    216/195/150

    I’m down maybe 1 pound since the last weigh in. That’s like three weeks! Too many good carbs and too many cheats.

    Comment by Christy — November 5, 2007 @ 2:03 pm |Edit This

  23. Christy,
    I honestly haven’t tried it. I want to get through phase 1 and then try a whole wheat crust and some other goodies on top as our Friday “treat” but staying within the parameters of phase 2.

  24. Hello still here although I don;t seem to get much time to comment or indeeed post. I promiseI will get Debs to help me put up some pictures of me as I haven;t yet.

    Stats down .6 from goal to 167.6. Holding steady which is fine by me.

    Weigh to go all you out there. The shoe box challenge sounds good, well done Char. I’ll be reading and rooting for you all - sorry haven’t managed to comment. too busy.

  25. 231.5/179/160

    Down 1/2. :-( I wish it were more, but at least it’s downward. I need to get off my booty and exsercize even though I can’t ever spell it.

    Good job, Boo. I mean, good job admitting the carb indulgence and trying to correct it.

  26. Bird you are being too hard on yourself.

    Comment by Nikki — November 5, 2007 @ 5:22 pm |Edit This

  27. 241.8. Up 1/2 a lb, I think. I’m not happy about it.

    I’m sick, guy and gals. It’s a viral crud thing, not really all that terrible, but I keep coughing. and I’ve been coughing hard enough that I seem to have pulled something and OUCH. But I’m getting better now.

    I managed to do the Curvivor contest at Curves successfully - went 3x a week for 6 weeks straight. I’m pleased to have done that much at least. I have been walking 2x a week as well. Slow - but getting quicker.

    time to work on food again. It’s been hard this past week - R3 learned the sign for candy and keeps asking :-) . I am supposed to “hop to it” when he asks for reasonable things - and a few pieces of candy isn’t going to hurt him in the long run and it’s certainly helping to get the point across that these signs mean actual Things!

    but then I want the candy too :-( . Mostly managing to be the adult and say no to myself, but ow, it’s hard!

  28. down a pound

    182.75/135/174.25

  29. Oh Tracy, hang in there friend. Yes you are my friend whether you want it or not! You can resist the candy. You can resist the candy, You can resist the candy. I have the worst sweet tooth ever and for me I have to have none or I will have all. I do mean all. I have been known for eating more than you can imagine. You can so do this. Just don’t be too hard on yourself. Food is so much harder than most addictions because he HAVE to have it.

  30. Bird you are being too hard on yourself.

    I suppose you’re right, Nikki. :-)

    Comment by Bird — November 6, 2007 @ 8:54 pm |Edit This

  31. -2 I’m at 142. I hope to be in the 130’s at my next weigh in.
