It’s that time again, time to weigh in. How did everyone do last week? Did you survive the weekend? What are your plans for the week?
Debs, where are you????? I’ve missed you!
Blest, are you back in town?…you’re missed too!!

Monday Weigh in
Good Morning! It’s that time of the week…time to Weigh In!
I think Blest is out of town, so I thought I’d get a post out so that everyone can start weighing in.
Have a great week!

I’m down 3lbs this week. I weighed in at 188.
I didn’t have the best week but I did work out hard, so that probably helped quite a bit. Yeah!
-
169….I’m stuck…I did exercise all week (with the exception for one day) and I thought I had done some okay eating….will do better next week.
-
well, i weighed on Saturday morning and got 154.8 which would be the lowest yet but it doesn’t count.
Today.. 161!!! You guys were talking about pizza being the culprit, I do believe you’re right. We had pizza yesterday on the insistence of the kids and I’d say that’s the problem, well, and AF. Oh well.Exercise has been great, eating better then usual but that’s up 3.something.
:( -
No change here! Some fluid retention to blame, I think?

Hola chicas!
I forgot to weigh this morning because I actually woke up early for a training across town. So no sleeping in for me!
(BUT, I started Phase 1 again last Thursday. By Saturday I had lost over two pounds. I’ve stuck with it most days, but did have carbs Sat & Sun. Today has been better. At any rate, I’m not over eating nor and I eating things that are bad for me . . . except for the Mexican sweet bread I couldn’t resist . . . but I’ll do better this week!
Oh, and I’m exercising more, so that’s good, right? Hmm . . . and that reminds me I need to go do some push-ups . . .
Y’all have a great week!!!
-
Good grief!
That face is supposed to be 
Just felt the need to clarify that . . .

Don’t panic Stephine. I’m sure you will be down next week. Our monthly cycles do mess things up don’t they but by keeping up the good eating and the exercise the general trend will be downwards. So no giving up.
No panic either those who are stuck. Same comments apply.Well done Boo for getting back on the wagon.
Ok I am holding steady so am happy. Actually up half a pound soince last week but I tend to think that’s just the vagaries of the scales etc. its quite normal to vary up ad down from day to day. So final point don’t keep getting on the scales if you can avoid it. Once a week is fine. Hav e good week all. I finish my school term tomorrow so will have more time to exercise and comment I hope. -
I’m down 3 pounds this week. I made some eating changes that I’ll blog about later.
-
121.5
I’m so proud of you, Honey! Great going, Cristina and Boo! (And all of you…whether up, down or same–just weighing in shows your commitment!) -
I just have to say that this blog is not only encouraging and supportive, but an inspiration (especially my sister, Cristina)!
-
176. That’s down 3, but I’m fully expecting it all to pile back on, as I over-ate all weekend, only to find I was down 3lb! Crazy. My daughter reckons it’ll show up next week. We’ll see.

205.6.
Lowest so far
which means I’ve finally re-lost the wieght I put on when I started taking my meds. -
157.6
down .4 I’ll take it. LOL. I tried getting back on my ellipital a couple days ago and about 10min later i couldn’t hardly move. It was bad. I’ve got a find another form of exercise. Eating was better this week then last but nowhere near where it should be.
-
down 1..136.
I was at 135 yesterday, but I know it’s today that counts.
Maybe next week! -
121
Great job, ladies! -
169…down two from last week (171)…i’ll take it…for now
-
135. Bad, bad eating while in Oregon over the weekend. Glad to be home where the healthy food lives.
-
Same as last week. (Well, at least it’s not up.)
Congratulations, Debs, on an all-time low!! -
I am with Julie. Same as last week. I am not too happy about it either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
164.4, up .4
Well done all you losers. Don’t be discouraged Nikki and Julie you maintained.
I need to get some exercise, don’t really think pull ups are me but I suppose I could try -
I meant push-ups
-
181 — up 1.5!
I’m making some adjustments in my eating this week. I WILL report a loss next week. -
Well, don’t stick your journal in the laundry this week and you’ll be on to a winner
-
I weighed in at 191…same as last week. I’ll take it since I had a bad weekend. I tried to make up for my weekend though…drove 8 hours on Saturday, baptized my nephew on Sunday and drove back 8 hours on Monday. Well, I should say I rode for 8 hours…my hubby drove. But after we got back yesterday…I headed to the gym for a spin class.
Dedication baby…!!! -
I’ll unofficially weight in (and a day late, too. sorry!). I’m the same, which is good considering I haven’t been dieting. But I’m starting over with Phase 1. Yippee!
-
Go Boo go.

Weigh to Go?

I’m at 208.2.
That’s down .2 on last week, so pretty much just maintaining. It’s been a rough week sleep and pain wise, and other stuff, so i’m just happy to be still in the same place! -
179. That’s down one. I’m happy with that, as it hasn’t been a ‘good’ week, with the hen-night (curry), wedding (inc pudding and cream), and the take-away pizza. (Thanks Tami for your comments last week.)
I seem to have been stuck around this mark for a while. I need a bit more resolve I think. I also seem to have given up on the water intake, and strayed towards the chocolate. -
Go drink some more water Julie.
Fancy meeting up for a chat sometime soon? I’m away this week, but get back to me about when’s good for you.. -
:?
-
:?
huh?
what’s that for? -
Well hello my friends I have been avoiding for quite some time. Just thought I would pop over and weigh in. I have been bad but not really gaining too much. 170 is where I am now, and I want to lose at least 10 pounds this month. We are going on a mini vacation in August and I want to at least be at my lowest. So there you have it. I know what I need to do, now pray that I actually do it! Thanks gals! Oh, and I have missed you.
-
133-134. I was really bad Friday night - 4th of July and all. Back on the wagon this week. My mom and I are going to the Sister’s, OR quilt show this coming weekend. Yay.
-
193 -4!
Loving the treadmill again! -
158. up .4 i think. It’s been a long weekend and one full of junk since we were at an amusment park the whole time. i could have done better but chose not to. I’ve been back on track since I came back yesterday morning though so I’m ready for the week.
-
I’m up 1. Weighed in at 191
-
171…down two from last week….good enough for now.
-
124
Which is up 3.
Some is fluid, some is overindulgence…the good thing is I wasn’t as devastated as I would have been a couple of months ago. That is huge progress for me! -
164 which is down 2 1/2 to my lowest. i last weighed
in at this level in May I think. No idea why, maybe slightly more exercise this week. I definitely need to get back to doing some cos I am very flabby. Haven’t been swimming for weeks and not a lot of walking either.
Blest why are you being cryptic?
Welcome back NikkiWEll done everyone for weighing in. i do appreciate its been a holiday weekend for you folks across the pond.
Julie you are not going up so be encouraged.. Most of us would say we have plateaued at some stage so take heart and don’t panic. i recommend going back on the water it does help. chocolate is ok in small portions especially the dark stuff but you know what is ok for you. -
179.5 — down 1/2.
I’ll be back w/my food journals today.
-
137..down 1.
-
Dear OWOA-ers, I have a question for you. I have been thinking about posting again but I’m not quite sure about it. My goal is kind of weird for this site: I need to gain 20 lbs. in the next 4 months or so — and then lose it again (along with the 8 lbs. or so that I’ve already gained) after my baby arrives in late December.
I’ve been thinking that on the one hand, it’s reasonable for me to post about trying to cook good food when I’m still nauseated, and satisfying carb cravings in a healthy way, and getting exercise when I’m (did I mention?) still queasy. But I don’t recall other OWOA-ers participating through pregnancy. Does anybody mind if I post about aiming for healthy weight gain while vanquishing the ice cream addiction?
On a totally unrelated topic, I am planning to make a chickpea pancake for dinner tonight. (I’ve been browsing through Mark Bittman’s vegetarian cookbook, which is full of fun stuff). Who’s got a guess as to how many of my boys will try it, and how many will say yuck?
-
I say…go ahead and post CJ! I think it will be interesting and we are here to encourage one another. When I was pregnant with my boys, I felt like I SHOULD have Dairy Queen once a week at the very least! This site would have been VERY helpful back then.
Oh and the chickpea pancake sounds a little yucky to me and I’m 32…Hope your boys are more willing to try new things than me!!
WELCOME BACK!
-
CJ-
I say we all need to eat healthy, so post away. As long as it doesn’t bring you down reading about others losing while you have to gain. And my take on ice cream while prego…the baby neeeeeeeds calcium! Am I right?

I was up 1 lb from last Monday. I weighed in at 189. I’ll take it though…not too shabby. I do need to quit this maintaining business and start dropping.
Comment by Cristina — July 28, 2008 @ 8:52 am |Edit This
I am so upset. Wow! I couldn’t believe it. Up 5. I am really not happy about this and I don’t really know what to say. Um………..Darn it! There, I feel better..Yeah right! I am up half of what I lost last year. My lowest was 160. I am up to 175. I really really really need to stop the cycle I am on. Its so frustrating! Well there you have it.
Comment by Nikki — July 28, 2008 @ 9:36 am |Edit This
Maintaining (164.2)and happy. Hope you don’t mind if I still weigh in, I feel it keeps me accountable.
Christina this phase will pass just hang in there.
Nikki big hugs. don’t panic. God loves you. Just concentrate on eating healthily - you know your weaknesses. take it a day at a time.
Comment by Elly — July 28, 2008 @ 10:03 am |Edit This
169….AGAIN!!!! How depressing. I either need to step it up on the exercise or tone it down on the eating…or BOTH! I need to lose those 29 pounds!!!!
Comment by Claudia — July 28, 2008 @ 10:15 am |Edit This
Thanks Elly!
Comment by Nikki — July 28, 2008 @ 10:57 am |Edit This
123.5
Up 2 and it is definitely a true reflection of my eating this past week. I have been eating too often when I’m not hungry…late-night desserts are a big weakness for me. I know this will be a better week!
Comment by Brandi — July 28, 2008 @ 11:01 am |Edit This
I lost the 2 lbs of water I must have been holding on to last week. I am at 136…yesterday at 135, so it’s a little frustrating. We had an outdoor church service with a picnic after. I ate well and then went on a long hike up the mountain…so you’d think the number would have gone down not up. Oh well, it was a great day!
Comment by ChristyF — July 28, 2008 @ 11:15 am |Edit This
159.6 Down from where I was last week so I’ll take it.
I wish it was better. I go to the doctors on Wed. for a follow up on the weight gain from last year so we’ll see what they say. Say a prayer my blood sugar has returned to normal.
Comment by Stephine — July 28, 2008 @ 5:43 pm |Edit This
177. That’s up 1. I think I’m gonna take 2 weeks off (well, not as strict, anyway) as we’re away to Bible Camp then to my Sister’s.
Comment by Julie — July 29, 2008 @ 12:41 am |Edit This
208.6
(down 1.2 from last week, but up from 205.8 (I think) 2 weeks ago)
Comment by Debs — July 29, 2008 @ 1:29 am |Edit This
I know this is a late weigh in, but I figured if I waited until Thursday I could sneak this in …
Up 2! Arghh! I had done so well the week before, too. Oh well. I seem to be having a good week, if I don’t screw it up this weekend. I think I can stay on track and focused.
Comment by Bird — July 31, 2008 @ 4:19 pm |Edit This
I see ya bird
I’m having a bad week. Not looking forward to MOnday. especially since it was meant to be a phase one week, and it was more like phase 7 billion and 42. Or something…
Comment by Debs — July 31, 2008 @ 4:58 pm |Edit This
If u were a chick, Bird, then u could just blame the 2 lb gain on water retention. Sucks to be u…
