And we don’t like them either, My precious!! 
Good morning and welcome to the last weigh-in for the month of June!!! 2008 is almost half over, and we’re coming up on our two year anniversary here at OWOA! Time… man it flies like… like…like a thing with wings, eh?
So how are you doing? How was your weekend? What are your favorite healthy foods to gnosh on right now? Trying any new recipes soon??
And oh yeah….
Yay, blest posted the weigh-in.
We loves you blest
I was at 208.4, which is down from 213.4, so down 5.
I haven’t particularly been on phase one or anything, so I’m thinking it’s just my body settling down again with the meds I’m on. (shame it won’t settle down with regards to me sleeping, but that’s another story!)
I’m still 2.4 above my lowest weight so far, but it feels like there’s hope for next week’s weigh in

I’m at 191 today, that’s down 1.6 from last week’s weigh in. Still trying to get back down to my lowest of 189.5, so I’m almost there.
Next week!

180. That means I’ve lost the 1 lb I put on last week, and am equal to 2 weeks ago.

197 today. I had pizza yesterday which puts on 4# automatically. Literally. It’ll be back down tomorrow BUT I’m back on phase 1 today however I will still munch on carrots over the next 2 weeks.

156.8
That’s the average for what i’ve been for the past month. I know it’s because of what I’m eating and what exercise i’m NOT getting.
I know why things are like they are and I know I need to curb it but I’m not having much success in that process. It’s just frustrating. I’m working on it.

Up 2 from last week…Same issue as Tami..THE PIZZA. It’s only the 2nd time I’ve had real Pizza in 9 months. I only had 2 small slices, but the damage was done
Working hard to fix it this week.
Have a great day everyone!

What is it with Pizza, is it the salt content? I don’t get it. I haven’t been eating pizza.
I an down 2 to 166.6 so basically holding steady. I seem to go up and down betwwen 164 and 169 but I think I am happy. To lose more I think I would have to up the exercise somewhat and of course that might put on muscle but I don’t think it would be sustainable. The good bit is I can still wear the clothes I bought a year ago. I am actually wearing size small in jumpers (albeit from a specialist tall person shop so probably not small in the average sense) but for someone who always started with extra large that is rather exciting.
My weekend was mainly spent fetching daughter HP back from uni in Exeter. I drove down Friday night arriving at Midnight. Packed Saturday morning and early pm, did some shopping and got home at 10.30 pm. I needed a nap Sunday afternoon but it was a good weekend.
Favourite foods. I love my standard packed lunch ( I eat it 2 or 3 times a week) of salad leaves, baby toms, radish, pepper(capsicum) strips, cucumber etc with feta type cheese and something meaty like turkey, ham or today salmon. Variations on a theme depending what is around. Add some olive oil and vinegar dressing and maybe a few pumpkin or sunflower seeds and it’s just perfect. Lots of chewing which keeps me satisfied all afternoon.
Favourite snack is humous with veg sticks (celery, carrot etc)
New recipes will have to wait till term is over in just over 3 weeks.

Speaking of pizza–I can’t wait to try Papa John’s new Whole Wheat crust!
Current healthy foods? For me-popcorn, salad and dark chocolate!

Weighing in at 173…..Weighed the same at the doctor’s office on Thursday, but on Tuesday of last week….I weighed 169.5 on the scale at my mother’s house….Today makes 1 week that I have been exercising consistently…IT’S A MIRACLE!

The whole wheat crust at Papa John’s is WONDERFUL!!! Very soft!!! Just don’t overload it with pepperoni, sausage, and ham….the veggie pizza is really gooooood!

Cheese pizza seems to do less damage for me than pizza with a lot of toppings. I think it must be the salt content.
135. Chips at a BBQ last night is what did that. I only had a few and didn’t feel like I really overate at all. But the fact that there is always fatty, salty foods at a BBQ doesn’t help. I was weighing a couple of pounds less than that in the middle of last week.
But… I don’t care right now ’cause it is FINALLY sunny in Washington. Woohoo! You should have see the red burns on white skin at the beach on Saturday. Eeeew! Not a pretty sight.

Oh dear. What is it with pizza? We’re planning a take-away pizza on Friday! (I can’t remember the last time… it’s a treat.) And why is salt a problem? Does drinking plenty of water flush it out? …Somebody… Please enlighten me.
Comment by Julie — July 1, 2008 @ 12:28 am |Edit This
Julie, drinking 2 gallons of water doesn’t seem to immediately flush it out…for me at least. After I have pizza…only a couple pieces mind you it takes a few days to get back down to where I was. I agree with Anita about the toppings though however even cheese pizza seems to do it to me…just not as bad. My suggestion would be that if you are planning on pizza then have your pizza if you must. If not having a piece will send you spiralling in the wrong direction then by all means have a piece with a big ole salad. IF HAVING PIZZA WILL SET YOU BACK AND MAKE YOU START CRAVING BAD FOR YOU STUFF ALL THE TIME THEN DON’T EVEN TAKE A BITE. Yep, talking from personal experience here.

Hi all!
So I didn’t official get to weigh this week. I was sick half the weekend and in a wedding for the rest of it, so not much time to do anything.
I think I’m about the same, but I definitely wasn’t eating on plan, so no telling what this week will be like.
Hope all is well with you. I only have 1 day of summer school teaching left. Woo hoo!!!
