It's Monday

It’s Monday!

Blest/Debs…I didn’t see a post for Monday’s weigh in, so I took it upon myself to post. I hope I didn’t step on any toes. Please feel free to edit and add the pic.

  1. Oooh! Well, I guess we’ll forgive you if you weigh in right away ;-)

  2. Ok, this morning I was 217.
    (well, that was the modal reading, anyway ;-) )

    It’s been a hard week. I’ve been struggling with depression, and wacky side effects from the drugs I’m taking. Today things are feeling a bit brigher. Life feels like it’s worth living, and although I’m tired, I did get 6 hours sleep last night, which is way more than I’ve had any of the last 4 nights. I’ll just keep plodding.

  3. Oh, and report back on how the gym thing went…

  4. Apparently, the rss feed is no longer working… Bloglines says June 4 was the last update. So… I switched to the atom feed.

    Up again to 134. I suppose it’s due to bad snacking and lack of sleep. Must become more aware of what I am eating and how much I’m exercising!

  5. Executive Decision…Since I did the post for the weigh in this week, I say I’m exempt from weighing in this week. :lol: Ha ha ha!

    Remember, I was out of town Thursday-Sunday and I ate semi-bad. So, I’m afraid to weigh in and see the damage. I did work out Thursday before I left and I worked out at the hotel gym Friday and Saturday and I did my best with ordering healthy meals when we ate out but sometimes it’s wasn’t possible.

    So, this week I’m back on plan and I’ll weigh in next week.

    In the meantime, I did not win the Biggest Loser competition at the gym but I was happy with my results.

    I weighed in at 189.5
    Since March 4th…
    -3.1 body fat%
    -1″ right arm
    -1.5″ left arm
    -2.5″ right thigh
    -3.5″ left thigh
    -4.5″ chest
    -5.75″ waist
    -3.75″ hips
    -1.25″ calf
    -16.5 lbs

    So, there you have it. :) I’m happy!

  6. Nu-uh, go step on the scale ;-)

    (And you have to listen to me, otherwise I might cry ;-) )

  7. But you know, whatever! I didn’t weigh in last week. Just get back on track, and it’ll be ok.
    Weigh to go on the loss - weight and inches :grin:

  8. And even if you don’t want to weigh in officially, I’d say it’s still worth stepping on the scales and privately noting down what the damage was. That way you can look back at it next week and see how well you’ve done.
    And this is experience talking ;-)

    Seems like this is the week that Debs tries to surpass herself in how many times she comments on the weigh in post!

  9. Ok, I did go weigh and there was a lot of damage. :( I’m hoping that some of this is water retention due to high sodium foods.

    Either way…I’m going to be strict with myself this week and I will reverse this damage…hopefully all this damage will be reversed by next Monday!

  10. You can do it. Don’t give up.
    (Hey, i’m up 10 or 11 since my last official weigh-in two weeks ago. I’m currently blaming the meds I’m on, tied with some eating the wrong stuff). I’m just working on maintaining really, and breathing, and hopefully things’ll settle down and get better in time.

  11. Thanks Debs!
    I’m proud of you for weighing in! I’m sure the meds have a part to play in the weight gain. I just read an article in a magazine on how big of a role some meds play with our weight. So I’m sure your body is going through some changes with the meds. Just get back on track with your eating and exercising and your body will eventually get it figured out and in sync. :)

  12. With some of the wacky symptons (swelling, soreness etc) It’s either the meds, or I’m pregnant. And though I know immaculate conception worked for Mary, I’ve not convinced God’s about to do that one again ;-)

  13. Thanks for posting Cristina! My parents are here, and my oldest left for camp this morning, and I had my workout to get in before we ran our to piano and…. :lol: So thanks!

    I’m weighing in at 129.2 and a pretty solid little ball of muscle!

  14. No change for me…

  15. Ooops I forgot to weigh this morning. By the time I remebered I was fully dressed, and there really wasn’t time to start again and get out the house on time so I didn’t. I will weigh tomorrow and own up. I think I am up a bit. So had better get back on track.

  16. no change but since af is visiting i’m sure that would be why.

    Comment by Stephine — June 16, 2008 @ 3:05 pm |Edit This

  17. 122
    good going everyone!

  18. 182.5. And I’m a pretty solid little ball of fat. :-(

    That’s up 5.5 from when I weighed in a couple of weeks ago.

    I’m calling my shot for next week:

    I’ll lose at least 3 pounds or die trying. (Maybe not die trying, but this crap is getting old. I just need to limit my consumption. Especially my carb consumption. Plain and simple.)

  19. So I didn’t just eat ice cream, even though I REALLY wanted to. That’s an improvement for me! AND I just finished swimming for an hour. Another improvement! And to top it all off, I’m finally weighing in again! Woo hoo!!!!

    Of course all that doesn’t undo a month of eating crap.

    So I’m at 224.2, which is about 9 up from my lowest, but not as high as I was a few weeks ago. Perhaps the increased exercise is helping a teeny tiny bit. Since school ended I feel a bit more energized, even though I’m still teaching summer school. So I’m a bit more motivated to stay on plan. I only had 2 good carbs today . . . plus a handful of tortilla chips. Oi! But at least it wasn’t the whole bag! And since the chips are gone, there shall be NO tortilla chips tomorrow!

  20. Bird and Boo, sending you both big hugs. We are so gonna do this. BRING IT ON!

    Comment by Debs — June 17, 2008 @ 3:14 am |Edit This

  21. A day left after my forgetfulness yesterday but actually not too bad at all. 165.8 down 1 since last week and holding steady below goal. I have been about 4 pounds higher during this week if you believe the scales so no call to be complacent. It is helpful to keep checking in.
    Have a good week all.

  22. I feel the love.

    Comment by Bird — June 17, 2008 @ 6:10 am |Edit This

  23. I’m proud of you, Boo and Bird! Keep pressing on! :-)

    And Cristina, you did great! You won a smaller bod even though you didn’t win the competition. I’m proud of you!

    Comment by Brandi — June 17, 2008 @ 4:37 pm |Edit This

  24. 180. That’s down 2. More importantly for me, - it’s a whole stone since I started 9 weeks ago. Yeah!

  25. Yay! Go Julie. That’s fantastic.
