  1. I am 222.8 which is 5 down on last Monday, which sounds dramatic until you remember I had a run-in with bad carbs last Sunday (due to parking ticket gloom) and was exactly the same as I was the week before. Therefore, it was probably water or whatever last Monday, and a 5lb loss over the two weeks.
    So there you go.

    This is the lowest I’ve been in a long time, and I’m more than 70lb gone :grin:
    And when I saw my Grandparents at the weekend, the first thing my Granddad said to me was ‘Well, you have lost a lot of weight!’.

  2. 200/175.4/160

    Down 0.4 from last Tuesday. Not the best behaved week, so good to see a loss.

    It’s a holiday here, though being a student, that doesn’t make a lot of difference to me. I’ve been for a bike ride, about an hour, done some food shopping, now I’m thinking about lunch. I shall probably spend the afternoon sewing and knitting and listening to the radio.

  3. Oh, and I didn’t have any easter chocolate. But this morning we did buy a 3 pack of cadbury’s creme eggs and some smarties mini-eggs. Given that I get a headache really really quickly when I eat chocolate I’m not sure that I’ll even eat any if all of them, but we shall see. And I certainly shan’t be eating them all at once like I mighthave done in previous years.

    And I guess I’d better stay off the treadmill still cos I’m a bit coughy, and I won’t be doing weights because of balance issues. So no, I won’t be exercising. Grrrrr, cos I actually do want to do it, I’m just listening to my body. (However, I wish it wouldn’t shout quite so loud as it did last night!)

  4. I’m sick. I started getting a cold last week. By Saturday it was feeling like it was gone. We washed the car, did some gardening, went out for dinner and enjoyed the sunshine. At 5pm the cold came back and hit me like a Mack truck. I’ve been popping extra strength cold medicine and feeling completely lousy. I haven’t been this sick in at least a couple of years.

    Yesterday it was pouring down rain, traffic was bad. We did eat Easter dinner at my best friend’s house. The jelly beans abducted me. And my best friend had her car stolen. And she has to go on a strict diet starting today. She’s been sick with some virus since October and has tried everything and is still not better. So now she’s seeing a naturopath doctor who is putting her on a strict diet.

    Sorry this is so long, but it feels like we all got hit by a truck this weekend.

  5. Wow, Anita…so sorry to hear about all this…I guess when it rains it pours! I hope you start feeling better soon (drink lots of liquids and try to get rest) and that life starts resuming back to normal…for everyone.

    BTW…too funny about those jelly beans abducting you. It’s amazing the power of those jelly beans. I was abducted by chocolate eggs. :) I was doing fine, resisting and then my husband came back into town after being gone for several days and I guess I just had a sense of relief (just about everything went wrong while he was gone) and I gave in to the chocolate.

    Back on track today!

  6. oh, and my weigh in…
    204.6

    Thats down 1.4

    I was down more Sunday morning, but those chocolate eggs did me in (oh, and boneless buffalo wings with ranch). :)

    I still managed a 1.4 loss because I was extra, extra good all week. :)

  7. I’m think I am the same.. I have moved back to NC over the weekend, so I am not able to weigh like I usually do.. Hopefully tomorrow I will have a more accurate number.

  8. Christy F, hope the move went ok, and that things aren’t too chaotic.

    Christina, resist the eggs, say no to the eggs…! But down is down, well done.

    Anita, big hugs. Sounds like a horrible week. Praying things get better this week.

    Bekki, it was lovely to see you on Saturday. Don’t give up, you’ll get there!

  9. Hey all! What a week huh? Debs, I am SOOOOO happy for your 70+ pound weight loss. The ear thing stinks though.

    Bekki, way to get moving. And a day of sewing and knitting…I can only dream right now.

    Anita, I am so glad you were able to enjoy the sun on Saturday. It was such a pleasant day wasn’t it. We were in Tacoma and I don’t think we could have asked for better weather. Hope you get to feeling better VERY soon.

    Christina, You’re down!!!!!! Hot dog!

    Christy, how’d the move go? We are beginning a move…again well…actually, we’ve been in the middle of one for 4 or 5 weeks.

  10. Oh yeah. My turn. I didn’t get on the scale today and won’t see it again until April 7. I’ve been eating according to the scale. Bad, very bad. I’ve been getting on the scale morning, noon and night. If around lunch the scale goes up more than I’ve liked I’ve only allowed myself something like carrots and turkey breast, no mid snack…blah blah blah. I DEFINITELY have not gotten in the calories that I should (although that was made up for Thursday night at Black Angus!) I’ve been obsessing so I made my husband take the scale and put it in his work truck. I’ll see it again on the 7th but between now and then I am working on eating according to how I feel…and it must be something that is beneficial to my body in some way.

  11. HUGE HUGS Tami.
    Remember, when you don’t eat enough your body goes into starvation mode and won’t lose weight. That’s why we have to stay healthy, and make sure we eat. You can do it.

  12. That’s why I had Jeff take the scale. I know that I’m doing damage physically, mentally and emotionally by doing what I do.

    Not too bad so far. I’ve NOT been good over the weekend so I’m sure my numbers could have been better. Keep on trucking for me. I found out the results from all the bloodwork I had done on April 1st.

  15. Stephine are you living backwards in time. And you didn’t say whether they were good or bad results or do you mean you will find out then? i am confused.
    Very late in the day for me to be weighing in so it won’t be long. Had a day of sorting stuff. it was nasty outside mostly although we did have a bit of sun later in the day.
    Back to work tomorrow.
    I was 168.4, down .8 and just above goal (168) again. Am trying to keep on SB phase 2 as I want to be below goal again it feels better. too easy to let it creep back on. Blest I get where you are coming from.

  17. Hi all!
    I was out of town and didn’t have my scale w/ me . . . I’d say I’ll weigh in tomorrow but I’ll prob forget in my rush to dress and leave by 6:20! I’ve had a LOVELY 11 days off and am soooo not ready to return. But seeing as how I haven’t found my rich husband yet, I’ve gots to work. *sigh*

    ;o)

  18. I am way up. Its Tuesday. I couldn’t weigh in yesterday cause I was in the car all day driving back from LA. I was really bad! I don’t remember my weight from last week and I don’t really feel like looking it up, but I am up around 3 pounds. I am going grocery shopping tomorrow and plan to get back on track after I get some healthy food in this house. I can feel it in my clothes and I am sooooo sluggish. I can’t wait to get going again.
