  1. It seems I’m first :)

    My scale says 140 this morning. I feel heavier than that though and I don’t know what THAT means.

  2. 132. No exercise and a hefty Christmas dinner will do that. We’re starting the New Year with a day on the ski slopes. Yeah!

  3. 248 (down 1.4)

  4. 169.4 - up 3.8 pounds from my lowest ever weigh in of 2 weeks ago. Blame Christmas and far too many goodies.

    However I am 26.8 pounds lighter than at the begining of the year. yippee.

    Okay, I’m back. I’m certainly heavier than my lowest weigh in, oh, months ago. But I’m back and motivated!! Happy New Year to you all!!

  7. That makes me down 22.8 over the year. Sounds good to me. I just can’t wait to see what I weigh at the end of this year :grin:

  8. Nice job everybody! Go Debs! You are doing so great! I am down 5 since Friday when I started back on Phase 1. 190/164/150. Up 4 from my lowest, but on the way back to it!

  10. the weight watchers scale said 171 on Thursday night — that is my official starting weight the one I am going by b/c it is done at the same time every week –

    However this morning on the scale at home it was 169

    Comment by Maria — December 31, 2007 @ 10:09 am |Edit This

  11. Hello! No idea what I weigh, since my scales are at home, but with too much food and not enough exercise for the last week or so, I doubt it’s good. However, I’ve been well behaved today and yesterday and tomorrow I head back to my scales and a new year of good habits, I hope.

    Comment by Bekki — December 31, 2007 @ 10:27 am |Edit This

  12. 239.8/212/200 (stg)

    Seems that I’m still the same compared to last week. I’m weighing on a different scale since I’m out of town, so I hope the scales are the same.

    I’m down 27.8 from when I first weighed in on OWOA which was in Feb or March I believe. I’ll have to go back and look at my records at home but I believe that I started 2007 at 250, so that’s 38lbs down this year.

    Happy New Year!

  13. Christina, that’s excellent. Keep off the cookie dough altogether and just think what you could achieve this year ;-)

    (Hope you don’t mind me teasing you over the dough! Just trying to keep you on the straight and narrow :grin: )

    Comment by Debs — December 31, 2007 @ 11:18 am |Edit This

  14. Blest/Debs - I was 156.5 this morning. Funny thing happened when I weighed in on the WW website. I put in that I was 166.5. I didn’t even notice because that seemed right! Then when I saw that I gained 13.5 lbs in a week (or whatever it said) I realized I was thinking bigger than I am!

    Anyway.. I am up from last week, but this time last year I was well over 190 (of course I was pregnant) but my lowest weight prior to this year was probably 168.

    I am excited about the new challenge! Love to all! char

  15. Debs, I’m totally ok with you teasing me about the cookie dough..that dough is evil and I need to be reminded about that. :)

    You’re doing great Debs!!! You have been consistently loosing, even throughout the holidays….you rock!

    Down 2 from 2 weeks ago, but still floating up & down. I am looking forward to this challenge. I started with it last year without letting ya’ll know, then officially joined with the QOM. The two combined help me lose most of the 26 lbs I’ve tossed in ‘07.

  20. 168/141/130..Down 4???

    That doesn’t seem right.. I was 143 yesterday with light clothing.. I moved the scale to several different places on the floor and even picked it up and shook it and it just kept saying 141.. I am happy about it, but just a little skeptical..

    I guess my total is down 27 this year(since Sept 20 something)

    Happy New Year All!!!

    Up FOUR from last week. YIKES! And that’s ’cause I wasn’t even that bad! But I was surprised by the significant dip last week. Oh well.

    Blessings to everyone in the New Year!!!

    Comment by DebbieBoo — December 31, 2007 @ 5:14 pm |Edit This

  22. 238.2 today (down 3.2 from 2 weeks ago!).

    I was 253 at the beginning of 2007. So down about 15 this year. Better than the year before that for sure!

    I am happy about losing weight over the course of our 10 day trip at different families. I had to work hard to keep from eating too much of the wrong things, and I couldn’t exercise much at all either, so it’s nice to know that the willpower paid off. Nice to end the year on a loss!

    Here’s to 2008, and more weight off :-) .

  24. 147.4 - No change.

    I suppose I’m too late to do the competition. I had to do all sorts of family stuff Monday and Tuesday and had no time to check in or exercise. So I’m already 4 points behind.

Well Weigh not?

marv-mon-weigh-in.jpgJust cause it’s a holiday…what? You think Santa gave you sanctuary from the scales? :lol: Nothing doing! If you’re around, tell me the pounds!

C’mon now, don’t let Debs and me weigh in all alone!!

  1. As much as I hate to do this…here I go…
    I gained 1lb. :( I’m at 212 this morning.
    I totally deserve it. I did lots of baking Friday and Saturday and I’m been munching on cookies since then. I handed out 4 plates full yesterday, so our supply is running low BUT we’ve still got plenty in the house. I’ll just have to have more self control these next couple of weeks. The only reason it’s only 1lb is because I’ve been diligent with my working out.

    Ok, gotta run…everyone have a wonderful Christmas!!!

  2. Ok, so here we go.

    294/249.4/250 (short time goal smashed again, Yay!)
    New short term goal 240 :grin:

    (that’s 2.8 down from last week)

    This time last year I weighed 268.8 so I’m down 19.4 on that. I’m so happy that I’ve found my weight loss groove again with a little help from my friends, and expecially blest. Here’s to making even more disappear this year :grin:

    Anywho, I said that the kids were cracking us up with how funny they thought it was to say “Tomorrow’s Christmas Adam!” They they started substituting any Biblical name. My fav: “Tomorrow’s Christmas Obadiah!”

    232/215.8/149.9

    Down 4.4 from last week and I don’t know why. Stress? The end of bloating? Long, busy days w/ hardly any time to eat? Who knows???

  10. I like Debs idea of posting her weight this time last year. According to the records on Christmas morning I was 197 but that was my old scale so it was really closer to 207. Now to get the groove on. It’s going to be hard…well, maybe this is the motivation I need. Jeff applied for a job back in WA and has a 3rd interview on the 31st. Traveling across the country can add the pounds (okay it really doesn’t have to but I allowed it to this summer!) but for the last week I’ve used this possibility to motivate me. I want to be much smaller than I was when I went to WA this last summer. At that time I was somewhere around 190 (at least that’s what my new scale would have said. If Jeff goes back in January and I don’t head over until March, that gives me oh, say roughly 10 weeks. Let’s take it a step further and say that when I weigh in on March 3rd I want the scale to say 170.6 or less. That would put me at weighing 80 pounds less then I did when I moved from WA exactly 2 years ago.

  13. Congrats to everyone for actually weighing in today! I just got home to my parents’ house after traveling cross country all day long, so I did not weigh in. Next week. I’m just happy to be home where I have an elliptical in a room with satellite tv!! Woohoo, exercise ;-)

I'm dreaming

of a light Christmas

Unlike the ones I used to know.

Now I’m eating good food

And in a good mood

To see my weigh-ins getting low…

I’m dreaming of a light Christmas

With every blog post that I write

May your days be merry and bright!

And may all your Christmases be light!!

    Up 3 - but that’s good. The Bloat is visiting, and 3 lbs is my smallest gain at that time since high school! So that either means I have actually lost some with the snow shoveling, which should be reflected next weigh-in or I am achieving some balance.

    Great work, Debs! Maybe we should all take turns at the Blest Boot Camp? :D

    I fought for that 0.2, so I’ll take it. Still sticking with my short-term goal of being in the 136’s by New Year’s. (It’s slow and steady here).

    Debs, congrats!! You’re about to bust through that STG — weigh to go ;-)

  9. Commented earlier from work but it obviously didn’t get through.
    Bekki don’t be discouragd you have got back in control, don’t lose it now. Will try to support you lots over the Christmas break.
    Debs excited with you. well done that girl. Cristina wow 3 pounds! Christy and Kellie well done for 1 pound each. Keep going Anne, you achieved a loss. Missy and Tami you both seem plesased and you know your own bodies so hang in there.
    I haven’t had that time of the month for the last year so guess I am done with it now. I don’t seem to get any obvious times when I am retaining water but know my weight does vary slightly up and down from day to day.

    On that note i will report my lowest weight to date 165.6 down 1.2 from last week. (Goal was 168 - I am 6ft 1in) Since I am not really trying to lose anymore I think I am intrigued rather than pleased but I will take it. Just hoping I don’t get the ‘don’t lose anymore, are you sure you are eating enough’ lecture from my mum over Christmas. I plan to eat sensibly but not particularly avoid anything as I am at goal now. What I really need is to get more exercise into my routine - a new year resolution perhaps.

Weigh-in wonderland

Timers ding - are you listening?

On the tray, treats are glistening.

I think they look fine, but I won’t make them mine.

Walking to a thinner wonderland.

Gone away from Lane Bryant

Smaller size? Love to try it!

I’ll face unafraid any cake that you’ve made

I’m walking to a thinner wonderland!

In the mall I eyeball lots of new clothes

Cause I’m getting smaller all the time

I’ll have lots of fun in all my new clothes

When my hubby tells me I look FINE!

When you shrink, it’s so thrillin’

Healthy food is so fillin!

I frolic and play, the South Beachy way

Walkin to a thinner wonderland!!

marv-mon-weigh-in.jpg

Good Morning!!!! I’m feeling a bit spunky this morning- how are you?! So now that I’ve got “Wonderland”s on the brain, tell me what fills you with wonder this holiday season? :grin:

Oh….and of course….

WEIGH IN!

  1. Very impressive song. Blest you know how to bring the spirits up! Ok I gained 2 pounds this week. 162. To be honest, I thought I would have gained more, so I was happy it was only 2 pounds. We had a birthday party last night at our house for our 4 and 6 yr olds and I was bad! My goal for the week is to do phase 1 today through Friday and be a bit and only a bit relaxed for all 3 parties. I want to lose those 2 pounds buy next Monday and then I will feel better!

    I’m holding steady, which is good for the holidays. Last year over the same time period (between Halloween and T-Day) I gained almost 6 pounds. I could do a lot of things better so I can actually lose. I’ll keep trying, but I won’t bemoan progress!

    Good luck to all!

    I am down 1.6 this week. I did see slightly lower than than earlier in the week, but that was the day after I had the headache and was sick and everything, so I’m not too worried about that.
    So long as I continue the downward trend I’ll be happy.

    Christina, I don’t understand what you mean by being in the 2-teens come New Year, you’re in them already - Are you giving yourself permission to gain up to 5 pounds? Or do you mean the 2-tens? :grin:

    I’m down one from last week, which is good. Hopefully I can go down another pound and a half this week??????

    Blest, what I would give to be half the wordsmith that you are!

  17. 194.5–I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read it this morning. :) I was worrying the other day that I was at a stand still and would never see 195, let alone something with a 4 in it, LOL. I was bad last week, although not always off plan. Nikki and I had our traditional Christmas street-fair fudge so I’m convinced the only reason I actually saw a loss today was because God sensed that I needed a motivation to stay on PLAN, or perhaps His plan, if you will. So this morning I commemorated my loss with cleaning the kitchen and a eating a big zucchini and onion egg scramble and one piece of bacon.

    Great tune…very clever. Christmas blessings to all of you!

    Down 1

  20. 166.8 up 0.6
    Have eaten all sorts of things that are not exactly South Beach but all in all seem to be under control at the moment. Feels ok and that I am not going so off plan that I am likely to put lots of weight back on. I feel I have really changed my eating habits permanently.
    Love the song Blest. What fills me with wonder apart from that feeling every year of how did Christmas get so near and I am so behind with my plaaning.
    Well I love hearing the readings - check out Char’s blog for lots of reminders. Carols I love and the smell of a real Christmas tree. And sharing the Christmas story with small children who come to it new (even if they heard it last year up to a certain age)

  21. 134.5/ I’m down 5.5! I switched from WW Flex to WW Core this week (I didn’t start Core until Tuesday and I was at 134.5 on Saturday… so I am pretty pleased with Core!)

  22. Debs, thanks for pointing that out. I keep doing that…saying 2-teens…I keep forgetting I’m already there. Ok, I meant to say that I’d like to ring in the new year at

  24. 241, down one in two weeks-ish.

    life is throwing us curveballs right and left and I’m just hanging on to the rope saying keep me going, Jesus!

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    (I’m okay, just on a very very big roller coaster ride just now)

  25. I forgot to actually post my weight yesterday, what with my 3-year-old throwing up every couple of hours and unpacking from our trip and everything.

    210/149.6/140 - Stayed the same. I actually suspect I gained weight at my grandmother’s and then walked it off at Disney World. :D And yes, I packed my snacks!

    Well I have been maintaining at what I have been, which I guess since I cannot exercise I should be thankful for. I call today for the MRI appt, so we can see if I will need surgery. Hope everyone has a great week!!!!

  3. 129

    It was a nice weekend. We got some snow. Then it turned to rain. There were neighborhood get-togethers. And some knitting and a movie. Nice.

  4. 139.0…. with a short-term goal of 137.0 by xmas. and my weekend was good! my college football team beat our rival (and we weren’t supposed to!)

    happy monday to all.

  5. 257.2
    Up slightly from last week, but most likely just water so trying not to panic about it.

    Comment by debs — December 3, 2007 @ 8:31 am |Edit This

  6. Not just “most likely” water. It HAS to be water. I know there is no weigh she is gaining - well - unless it’s muscle. :wink:

    Comment by blest — December 3, 2007 @ 8:34 am |Edit This

  7. I lost three pounds this week. I have found so much encouragement here - thanks!!

  8. 200/168.4/160

    Up 1.6 from last week. Not the most well behaved week.
    Term is entering the serious and tried stage. Trying not to panic.

  9. 239.8/213.2/209 (stg)
    I am down 1.2, which puts me back to where I was before Thanksgiving. :)

    I changed my stg, I’d like to be out of the 2-teens by Dec 31st. I think it’s doable, it’ll just be very hard due to the holidays.

    Have a great week everyone!

    Comment by Cristina — December 3, 2007 @ 9:29 am |Edit This

  10. 168/148/130…no change

    I worked all weekend so I was busy.

    Comment by ChristyF — December 3, 2007 @ 10:01 am |Edit This

  11. Guess I should at least do the weigh in before heading out tomorrow…

    I consider this a new starting point so my top number is no longer 165 but instead it is where I was last week.

    156/154/35-140 somewhere

    After surgery I will have about 6 weeks and then I can resume exercise - light walking to start. I am also doing more vegetarian once I am back in control of my kitchen… LOL that will be about 4 weeks - just around the start of a new year.

    It feels good to be back here, btw… :)

    Comment by debs — December 3, 2007 @ 10:29 am |Edit This

  13. Oooops… that should be 135 not 35… LOL

    Comment by Leann — December 3, 2007 @ 10:33 am |Edit This

  14. 232/222.2/149.9
    Up .2 from last week but I was so full of water I felt like . . . something you fill with water (the analogy part of my brain is apparently malfunctioning; my apologies).
    My goal is to be out of the twenties in two weeks, if not by next week.

    Comment by Debbie/Boo — December 3, 2007 @ 11:24 am |Edit This

  15. 160 still. No change but it was a heavier 160 than last week. I don’t have a digital scale, but it was a fuller 160. I was not a good girl in Disneyland. I didn’t follow plan, but in the up side I didn’t over eat. I was always in control of what I was having even if it wasn’t a good choice. Oh well, its a new week. Onward and upward.

    Blest, I loved your tune!

    Comment by Nikki — December 3, 2007 @ 11:32 am |Edit This

  16. 183 - I’m up 1. I can’t even give a grrr to anything but myself. I was NOT the most well behaved person out there last week.

    Comment by Tami — December 3, 2007 @ 11:42 am |Edit This

  17. 196.5…up .5 from last week, but relieved that it wasn’t more after this weekend. I tried to stay on plan as much as possible, and saved my “splurges” for special treats (mmm, Bubba Gumps was fun!). Plus last week I was really having a hard time with cravings…must be that “time?” ;) So overall, not too displeased at a little .5 which hopefully will fall off again tomorrow after tap.

    Have a good week and thanks for sharing!

    Comment by elizabeth — December 3, 2007 @ 12:21 pm |Edit This

  18. I could gain .5 by looking at a glass of water.

    Comment by Nikki — December 3, 2007 @ 3:29 pm |Edit This

  19. Mmmmm… water. Gotta get me some of that…

    Okay, better.

    216/179/165 stg

    Steady. I lose some, gain a little less and then plateau. I don’t think I am going to make my stg by New Year’s but I’ll keep going.

    Great job, Becky! You’ve just encouraged us!

    It’s wonderful to “see” you around, Leann.

    Comment by Missy — December 3, 2007 @ 3:38 pm |Edit This

  20. No change still at 166.2. Pleased to be maintaining. I try to eat normally and still avoid some of the carbs that I used to have but really I am eating mostly what I like now. It’s trying not to eat too much and be sensible with snacks to stop me munching the biscuits etc that might be around. I still carry my snacks with me most days but it pays off. I know my appetite is smaller and I can’t take too much sweet stuff. Lets hope I can still maintain through the holiday season. Still getting the compliments which feels great.

    Comment by Elly — December 3, 2007 @ 3:41 pm |Edit This

  21. 123
    I was not happy to see THAT number this morning! (Up 3 from my previously met goal.)
    I know it’s mostly water retention for various reasons, so I’m trying not to worry. I’m trying to listen more for God’s view on how I am doing…asking Him to search my heart…rather than the number on the scale.

    My goal is to transition from weighing daily to listening to the Lord on how I am doing with food, etc.

    Comment by Brandi — December 3, 2007 @ 6:58 pm |Edit This

  22. Oh! I thought I had weighed in already!

    126.6

    Comment by blest — December 3, 2007 @ 7:00 pm |Edit This

  23. I’m guessing this is Blest under Debs name. If not, Blest, can you take a TON of weight off of me really quick like?

    Comment by Tami — December 3, 2007 @ 7:06 pm |Edit This

  24. OOPS!! :razz:

    Fixed it!

    Comment by blest — December 3, 2007 @ 7:41 pm |Edit This

  25. I think all of you are amazing. It’s such a blessing to read ‘real’ progress and accounts from you all. I appreciate your honesty and words of hope and faith because it really puts me in renewed perspective. If you can do it, I can do it! I know God doesn’t care how many curves I have, but He does think I can do better, and that’s motivating. Even if I am not losing as much or fast as others, I’m encouraged that the way my body feels inside lets me know I’m doing well. (Plus today someone at work asked me if I’m losing! wow!) Once again, mom was right…I should eat protein for breakfast everyday. God bless you all!

    I don’t think it’s too early,so Merry Christmas too!

    Comment by elizabeth — December 3, 2007 @ 10:33 pm |Edit This

    Up 2. I just wrote a whole bunch but it didn’t take my 1st comment. Seeing if this works …

    Comment by Bird — December 4, 2007 @ 11:10 am |Edit This

  28. … ok it worked. Anyway, I weighed in yesterday and gained two. Today that two is gone. :-) In any event, I need to adjust my diet. I’ve been eating too much. Eating too many meats and too many cheeses.
