Good Morning! Praise be unto God who daily loads us with benefits! It’s weigh-in time again, and yes, I WILL post the winners of Happy Heart sometime today! 
Do you need some victory today? Are you in captivity? Are you under attack? Here is a two-edged sword for your battle…
Micah 7:7,8 But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord, I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me. Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall, I will rise. Though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a light for me.
Hello!
200/170/160
Down 1.4. I think that’s my third week in a row where I’ve had a loss. Yay! Little by little, the weight’s coming off.

That’s down another 2 this week
And I have a new treadmill, which is currently still in the process of being assembled (it’s a long story, maybe I’ll tell it when it’s finally complete!)

Those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.

Yeah…now if only it said, they will run and not hurt their knees or their backs!

Well… I guess that’s why God made us with our own common sense! Take care, ok?

Ok, well I had a lot more hope for what I would lose this last week and it was all crushed when I got on the scale this morning. No change. Still 163/190/150. I am retaining water like a mad woman! So I think next weeks or the week after will be pretty drastic. Oh well.
Thanks for the encouragement Blest. I needed it!

I am down 1.8 this week, so back to where I was two weeks ago.
Wonderful verse! Thanks for sharing that!

153/140/128 - I think down 2 from when I last weighed in…which might have been about three months ago.
No excuse, I had a bad couple of weeks and felt so discouraged and ‘everybody’ seemed to be doing so well, etc, etc. Then it was Christmas, and then I was embarrassed b/c it had been so long since I’d checked in.
So…I’m back. I really want to lose this last 12 lbs or so, and soon - especially in case we decide to have another baby, I want to have lost all the weight first. I’ve gone back to work since I was last here - just one morning a week in the office, and then 10-12 hours at home, but boy it sure cuts into my spare time! I do it all when the kids are sleeping, so either early early morning or in the evenings, so finding time to exercise has been a real challenge.
I’m looking forward to being back here and having some kind of accountability.

Up one. Water. Blah! But it’s ok as long as it stays in the teens. And I managed to stay away from ALL the V-day temptations that passed through my hands!

Great verses this morning, everyone! Thanks.

Good to have you back Dawn. We missed you.

167.2. Up 2 I think or slightly less. Still below goal so I am not panicking. Nikki don’t worry cos I am sure you are doing fine. Your numbers confused me though. Are you sure they are right. Welcome back Dawn. We share the ups and the downs here and no condemnation, right.

Last week I forgot to check in, but was actually up one pound from the last time I weighed in. Then by the end of the week I was concerned that it would be a humble check in today…but, I’m down 1 from my lowest!
Thank you for the ’sword’ verse today; I needed it.

Elly, you are right, my numbers were wrong. 190/163/150. Thanks! Great job this weeks everybody.
Comment by Nikki — February 18, 2008 @ 2:14 pm |Edit This
242.2 about the same as last week, but that’s a victory in itself.
dh is better, but is at his dr. visit (follow up appt) right now so I don’t have any other update on him. I’m hanging on here!

168/138/130..Down 1.
Thanks for the verse!

I just weighed myself this morning and I’m down another 1.4 to 229.2 (short term goal reached again
)
(It’s that time of the month, so yesterday I thought I was done retaining water, but this morning suggested otherwise!)
That means I went down 3.4 this week. I know that I haven’t been getting hungry in the mornings and have been having to remind myself to eat. I don’t think I’ve been eating enough carbs - I’ve probably only had one serving or less each day.
This week I want to try to make sure I fit in more carbs because I know that rapid weight-loss long-term is not good.
If anyone has a moment this week it’d be good if you could keep me accountable and ask me what I’ve eaten in the last couple of days. Thanks people

This is Mandi just letting you all know I’m alive! I’m at 15 weeks in my pregnancy and the scale is starting to nudge up….man it is really hard when I worked so hard to get it down. But just yesterday someone asked me if I had a miscarriage (apparently because I looked so thin) - hey I’ll take it. ;O) Baby is doing well but I am on “pelvic rest” because I’ve had alot of spotting/bleeding so I’m pretty much limited to the elliptical, yoga, and my strength and balance class right now. I’m still really trying to keep up my exercise habits in hopes that it will make my c-section recovery that much easier. You ladies have all been doing fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Comment by Mandi — February 19, 2008 @ 6:59 am |Edit This
Take care Mandi, and don’t do anything without checking it’s ok with the doctor! Hope the spotting stops soon. BIgs hugs and prayers.

Hi everyone! I missed weigh in yesterday. My parents were in town and were leaving in the morning, so it was a hectic morning. I had the day off, so I kept my daughter home and we were out and about all day, so I missed weighing in the morning.
I was going to weigh in this morning but decided to go this week without weighing in. I didn’t eat very good this weekend and I’m afraid to see what the scale has to say, so I’m back on track this week and will weigh next Monday.

Good luck Christina. You can do it!
Mandi, good to hear from you. Take care of your preciouse little one inside. How fun! I love babies!
