No blarney here! It’s that day again! Come say hello, stay and chat awhile! And while you’re weighing in here, don’t forget to go weigh in on the Philippians Study, if you haven’t already…or if you have and have more to share! 
The next set of questions is up too - discussion will begin again on Thursday.
I am 227.8. Which is exactly the same as last week. I overdid the carbs (and food in general) yesterday, which may or may not have something to do with the parking ticket I got.
However, I do plan to get HP to take me a progress picture tonight, and I will post it on the facebook OWOA group.

130. Waaay too much snacking going on this week. And suddenly no walking like we had been doing the last 2 weeks. Must get back into the exercise routine, ASAP.

Argh. I was away from my scales when I got up. I’m back at home now and not wanting to weigh in. I can tell from my jeans that I’ve put on weight over the last couple of weeks. Somehow everything just fell apart on the eating well front.
Time to take myself in hand. I WILL weigh in tomorrow, see how bad things are and then start doing something about it.

171/165.6/155
Last week i dind’t weight because i knew it was bad with teh deployment and all. I didn’t realize how bad. i finally weighed myself on wed. and panicked (one more lb and i was where i was when i delivered Levi 14mo ago). My top number has moved up from 165 to what it is today and I’ve gone on weight watchers and bought an ellipitical machine since then. So that is that I hold myself accountable as of now.
see y’all next monday

232/215.4/149.9
Down exactly 3 lbs from last week!!! Which is VERY encouraging but also a bit baffling. But my theory has always been that Mondays aren’t the best weigh-in day for me because usually I stress eat Sunday night at the thought of going back to work AND I get very little sleep Sunday nights, so my body doesn’t have enough time to do what it needs to do overnight. Sometimes there can be as much as to 2-3 lb difference from Sunday to Monday. Anywho, since it’s Spring Break I got to sleep a little more than usual and wasn’t stressed last night or this morning. Does all that make any sense???
Nevertheless, this is the lowest weigh-in I’ve EVER had!

WOOOOO! Go Boo
Tami, yep, totally know what you mean. Don’t be discouraged.
Stephine, well done on coming back even if it’s hard to do when things don’t go to plan. That’s behind you now. Concentrate on this week, and I’m sure the numbers will be better next week. Let us know if there’s any specific way we can support you in prayer etc.
Bekki and Anita, put the last week behind you and get your butt into gear! (that’s what I’m doing too
)

154… again… been the same weight for over 18 months now but it is better than gaining and I am glad of that. There are two things still in dire need for me to go down any more and that would be NO SUGAR AT ALL which is going down each day in my home and I really eat MUCH less than the average American. The age has a lot to do with how sensitive the body is to sugar, too, and mine is very sensitive to it it seems. The second is the exercise factor. I am just still so tired from surgery and the day full of housecleaning and kids and I am having a hard time pulling myself out of bed at dark thirty to walk before the day starts and the rest of the day is just over before I realize it. *sigh* Done whining now… I will get there….

Hi, guys. I am still here. I asked my hubby to hide the scale. I know he put it under the claw-foot tub, but its still staying there for a while.
Know what I was doing? I would eat a particularly healthy meal or exercise a bit, even go to the bathroom, then run to the scale just to see if I lost any weight - right after! I was weighing myself 4 or 5 times a day, sometimes more. It was ridiculous.
Any suggestions about what I can do on weigh-ins instead?

Go Boo go. And enjoy your break. I know how tired teachers get. Sorry all you mums out there I do also know how mums never get time off, cos I am one although not in that full time active sense any more.
Well done everyone for being honest and reproting in even when it isn’t so good. I went up this week to 169.2 so that’s several weeks now when I have been over goal (168). Its not ‘weigh’ over but I know I just need to watch out. Silly thing is people keep asking if I have lost any more weight and I can say no truthfully, cos I have been here since October now. It must just depend on the clothes I think and I just had my hair cut so perhaps that is why I got asked again today.
Weekend was very tiring and not brilliant eating so back on the straight and narrow today except lunch got pushed out by business until nearly 5.30. i had snacked on nuts about 12 but still it was bit late. Hope I haven’t messed up my systems too much though. Should be time to catch up on sleep if I go to bed on time and I can lie in a lttle tomorrow.
School holidays are confusing here this year. State schools have Friday and Monday off for Easter then go back to school for 1 or 2 weeks depending on area before a 2 week spring break. Private (fee-paying) schools break up on Thursday and get 3 or some even 4 weeks off. I work in 2 schools one state and one private so I am really confused.

HP just took pics for me, and I’m just uploading them to the OWOA facebook group. Come join us on facebook if you’re not there already.

About the same as last week, but I should be 20 lbs more! I was really bad!

168/137/130…Down 1
I have actually been down to 136 so I was hoping that would be the number this morning, but didn’t happen.
Way to go Debbie Boo!!
Missy…I know how tempting it is to get on the scale several times a day. I do the same thing.
He has made it harder for you to get to and that should help. I have to fight the urge to step on mine everytime I pass by. Maybe my hubby needs to only let me have on Mondays.

168/137/130
Down 1..
Great Job Debbie Boo!!
Hang in there Missy.. I do the same thing. Your hubby has made it harder for you to get to it and hopefully that will take away some of the temptation.

So I have two comments.. I thought I had lost the first one..As you can tell the second time around I didn’t remember everything..

Were is everyone? Come out come out whereever you are…
Comment by Debs — March 18, 2008 @ 2:37 am |Edit This
This morning I weighed 175.8.
Oh dear.
Getting back on track today.
Comment by Bekki — March 18, 2008 @ 3:31 am |Edit This
Hi All! I’m here. Yesterday was a crazy day as will be the rest of the week. My husband is heading out of town so I’ll be flying solo.
Anyways, I weighed in at the same, 206.
Tonight I meet with a nutritionist at the gym. She’s supposed to give me a meal plan to follow based on my weight and goals and likes/dislikes. I’m tempted to see what she has put together and I’m also afraid.
I’ll keep you posted.

Hi Guys!
We were without internet most of yesterday, but here are the stats:
Bird–
231.5/177/160
that is a 1.5 lb. gain from 2 weeks ago, but a 5 lb. loss from last week..he fell off the wagon (gained 6.5), but is back on full swing (lost 5)
Me–
122.5
phase 2 has been wonderful retraining for me and I have lost almost all of the cravings I was having before!
Comment by Brandi — March 18, 2008 @ 6:53 am |Edit This
Well done brandi. I intended to go back to phase 2 last week but it didn’t quite happen, too much business at the weekend mainly so am really trying this week although the weekednd will be another danger point, celebration meal with father in law who is 80 tomorrow. Not to mention Easter Eggs but trying to stick to the dark chocolate.
