  1. 190.6 which is -2.4. I was hoping to see 189 point something but 2.4 is great! I’m really focussing on little goals right now so my first is to get below 190 and then I’ll move my goal to 185 then 180 and so forth.

  2. I had a fantastic weekend, as you probably already know. I seem to be telling everyone…

    hmm, yes. Digits.
    Today I was 212.2 which is down 7.2 from last week. And I wasn’t actually even trying to lose weight fast. I was trying not to, cos i was worried about the dress falling down. But then I got a little bit distracted yesterday and didn’t eat any carbs, and certainly didn’t eat enough. (When i weighed myself on Satursday morning i was 214.8, so I was already down more that I probably should have been, but then there was another extra drop which kind of made it worse.) I’ve never dropped that much in a week, not even when I’ve been trying to do phase one. (Well, apart from the week I had a horrible stomach bug around Christmas 2006 and dropped like 11lb in a week).

  5. Holy cow Debs!!!! That is amazing. Great job to you and Tami. Me on the other hand….well lets just say I am up, way up. Like 3 pounds. But its a new week and I am doing a contest with my friend, so I am going to really do great the next couple weeks!!!

  6. Tami, great job. Down 2.4 is awesome! In a day or two you’ll be at your short term goal and on to the next!

    Debs…down 7.2?!?!?! Why can’t I loose like that!?!?! Seriously, I loose so slow!!! I mean SOOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOW! It’s not even funny. I did great last week. Didn’t snack in between, stayed on plan and on Sunday when I weighed myself I was down NOTHING! What’s up with that! Kind of depressing because I really, really tried hard. I stayed on food plan, worked out like crazy and … nothing.

    Ok, I guess I’ll go weigh myself now.

  7. Hey, that’s something Stephanie. And if you stay off the chocolate browies this week?! ;-)
    (I have eyes everywhere!)

  8. Christina, maybe you need to mix it up a bit. Try out a new exercise this week, or some differnet recipes. Or some different carbs to see if they affect you in different ways.

    Nikki, as you say, jump right back on, and we’ll be checking up on you ;-) (Or I will, at any rate!)

  9. Not weighing in this week. I feel so low and tired that weighing in and worrying about what I eat is is just making things worse. I’m trying to stick to healthy habits as much as I can, but not worry too much. To be honest, just making food is an effort right now.

    I’d appreciate your prayers. I’ve seen a doctor today, I’m having some blood tests done tomorrow. Not exactly sure what’s wrong, but probably some combination of post-viral fatigue and mild depresssion. I’ve got friends around me who are looking after me and I’m trying to take life one thing at a time.

  10. We love you Bekki.

  11. Bekki, glad you are seeing your doctor. There could be any number of things to make you feel that way. Praying for you.

    132. My digits are up a couple more than I like. But it’s okay, that’s life. Started a new workout program, so it’s thrown everything, including my eating, off.

  12. 171/159.6/155

    down 2.6. I didn’t really try and still no exercise thanks to being sick still. I’ve been out of town all week with friends and I guess you could say I’ve just been watching my portions. I’ll take it. Guess I need to start thinking about my next goal.

    many prayers and thoughts Bekki, wtg Tami and Debs, hang in there Cristina Nikki and Stephanie!

  13. Bekki, you’re in my prayers. I’m glad that you’ve got good friends watching after you.

    Comment by Cristina — April 21, 2008 @ 8:49 am |Edit This

  14. Stephine, sounds like you’re being sensible if you’re still sick. Down 2.6 is about right - you don’t want to lose too fast (ok, so this week follow my words and not my actions ;-) ). If you lose at what might seem like a slow but steady rate, you’re actually more likely to keep the weight loss going, and keep it off once you reach goal.

  15. I’m down 3.2 this week! Yeah! Something must have kicked in overnight and I think I thought I weighed less last week so when I weighed yesterday I felt like I wasn’t down at all, when in reality I was down. I guess part of it is that I’ve been struggling to get below 200 every week and when I see that I’m not there yet, I feel like I have made no progress.

    I’m getting closer though! Baby steps!
    I should be…I’d better be…below 200 next week!!!

    Debs, thanks you for the encouragement! I’ve really been trying to mix it up. I mix up my exercises so I really don’t know what to do differently. I honestly work out hard, average 6 times a week and I don’t do the same thing over and over. And for food…well I met with a nutritionist and I’ve been following the plan she did for me, so we’ll see where it gets me the next couple of week.

    She took my measurements last week and she’ll be taking them again next week, so we’ll see what those measurements show.

    In the meantime, I’ll work on a post regarding the biggest loser competition I entered myself in at the gym, the food plan I’m following, the exercises I’m doing. Then you all can critique. :)

  16. GO CHRISITNA!
    So how far have you got to get to 200? Looks like you’re so close now. I’m sure you can do it. I’ll keep an eye out for your post and see if I can think of anything..

    Comment by Debs — April 21, 2008 @ 8:58 am |Edit This

  17. I weighed in at 200.8 today, so it’s close! I really really should be able to hit it next week!

    Comment by Cristina — April 21, 2008 @ 9:05 am |Edit This

  18. Stay off the evening snacks and you’ll hit it for sure!

  20. I’m down .6 from last week, but that’s still WAY up from a month ago. I’ve started a new detox diet, that will hopefully help. I’ve not had any carbs, sugar, CAFFEINE or artificial sweeteners. Yes, I AM crazy, but I’m getting desperate — my bridesmaid dress is in and I’m so scared to go pick it up!

    Comment by DebbieBoo — April 21, 2008 @ 10:26 am |Edit This

  21. And I’ll be praying for you too, Bekki.

  22. We love you Boo.

  23. Hey, all…sorry I didn’t get a chance to read everyone’s comments. It’s been a busy day!

    I had a wonderful weekend. My amazing husband took me on a date Saturday night and I had a great time :-)

    I am weighing in at 122.5. I met my goal each day of not eating for comfort all except last night. I got stressed and ate chocolate to get my mind off things. It’s not the fact that I ate chocolate…it was the rebellion in my heart. I really should have asked the Lord first. (I think I’m going to report on this weekly in addition to my weight since that is more of a focus than the number on the scale.)

  24. 170/159.5/120 - yuck!

  25. Stayed the same this week.

    I had a great weekend. I’m back in my home church(that I grew up in) and it’s great!!!

    Praying for you Bekki.

    Great weigh-in guys!

  26. Well the scales were being strange this morning for me and giving me varied answers so I think I am about the same as last week and that’s as far as I will go. But it is my lowest ever (well on this weight loss journey). I think here (164/165) is about right for me and I have lost the 5 lbs that were creeping back on a few weeks ago. just need to get fitter I think.
    Well done everyone. Especially Christina, glad it was a loss and you are encouraged.
    Debs I think I better keep a close eye on you.
    For anyone who’s interested she is eating out tonight so who knows what she will have eaten. It was a last minute invitation.

  27. I ate! I had two carbs today - porridge for breakfast, and couscous in my salad at dinner.

    Comment by Debs — April 21, 2008 @ 6:46 pm |Edit This

  28. 251, so up one - but at least I’m more hydrated now!

    forgot to weigh in yesterday - but I had a busy day (accidental corneal abrasion - ouch. read all about my eyeball at my blog if you want to see the details!). So here I am on Tuesday!

    Comment by Tracy — April 22, 2008 @ 11:47 am |Edit This

  29. Tracy, water is good! Keep up with the hydration.
