Let’s see now…what do the numbers tell us today? Do they tell us how much we are loved by our families? Loved by God? Do they tell us how talented we are, how much fun when we laugh, or how snuggly our hugs are?
Nope.
The numbers don’t tell us any of that! All the scale tells us is how we are doing with our food and exercise choices. (and sometimes it lies about that! Tricky little thing!) So don’t be afraid! Take a deep breath - then let it out cause air weighs something too and we don’t want that - and Get On That Scale! It’s weigh-in time ladies!!
This week’s prize comes from Kat! A mini-spa thingee from Burt’s Bees. I love that stuff!!
I’m down 3.4 pounds!!! I am very excited! I actually looked in the mirror yesterday, and I could actually see that my face looked skinnier. And my dad took pictures of us this weekend at the pumpkin patch and they looked good!
Starting weight 215, total weight loss is 8.4 pounds!

I am so very close to a 10 pound loss!!! I broke the 155 barrier that I have struggled with and stayed there this week with a weigh-in this morning of 154.6.
Goals for the week…
* 75 ounces of water every day
* get out and exercise at least 30 minutes a day every day this week
* Go easy on the white food.
163/154.6/135

I have a prize - I can’t think of the name of it but it’s a mini spa thingie from Burt’s Bees….
Wow - you guys are doing great. How would y’all like some humor/irony…..
330.6 .1 up from my starting weight. I am past the angry/mad/disgusted/distressed at myself and looking at it as a God reminder…. without Him - I am up - and without Him - I’m worse. So I think this is just extremely hilarious (yes, I’m at THAT point) to see the irony at starting at square one because of my sin - and being up .1 .
BUTTTT… looking forward to next Monday!

I’m at 287.4 which is back up 1.6 (which is so much less than I deserve to be). However last week is over, I’m determined to start over.
Comment by Debs — October 30, 2006 @ 11:13 am
No change for the lady this week. Holding at 146.5.
Comment by lady laura — October 30, 2006 @ 12:03 pm
I am down .2, which isn’t a lot, but it’s something!
Comment by Jana — October 30, 2006 @ 12:32 pm
I am down 2 again this week…….
Comment by Maria — October 30, 2006 @ 3:34 pm
Not weighing in this week because I can’t bring myself to step on the scale in the afternoon. We just got home from a short vacation and it was really nice. I was a little too relaxed on the food choices, but it’s hard when you don’t have your own kitchen and the normal shopping choices. You guys are doing great! Keep up the good work ladies!

I’m not sure if this is just for members, but on the Weight Watchers scale I was down 4 1/4. A record for me! (That’s only 7 1/4 over 5 weeks, though - so I’m not real consistent.)
Comment by Ellen — October 30, 2006 @ 4:18 pm
Yay Ellen!! Nope, this isn’t just for members. As a matter of fact, participating in weigh-ins is one of the paths to becoming a member!
Just ask Tami!
What a great week for you! Congrats!
And Maria! Hey Girl, You’re doing great!!!
Comment by blestwithsons — October 30, 2006 @ 4:28 pm
Ellen!!! Weigh to go! Please do join in with us on whatever topic. We are all on the same journey here! Just think…that’s 7 1/4 gone. They say that the slower it comes of the more likely it is to stay off.
YAH!!! I’m doing a happy dance for Ellen.
Comment by Tami — October 30, 2006 @ 4:31 pm
I am holding steady at 181.4.
Comment by Mandi — October 30, 2006 @ 5:37 pm
I didn’t weigh this morning, but I will tomorrow. I had to go to the attorney this morning, but will explain more later.
Comment by Leigh Ann — October 30, 2006 @ 6:36 pm
So, one question… How much have we lost to date as a group??? I am curious to see how we are doing in that respect…
Comment by Leann — October 30, 2006 @ 9:16 pm
I am up 0.2 from last week, which leaves me at a total of 0.4 down over the last four weeks (since I got my new fancy scale and started officially keeping track). But overall, being down 0.4 with the very, very hectic month of work (and more stress-eating than i’d like to admit) — is a great feeling. now just another 4 to go in the next 2 months to reach my christmas/new years goal!! off i go….
great job everyone!!

Had computer trouble yesterday - I tried to comment, but the computer did a crash thing again, and I gave up. So here I am today thinking we’ve patched it together for a bit longer.
but to business - I’m weighing in at 250 yesterday which is up 2, I think, and I’m not surprised. But I am making changes and should be watching the scale drop again next week. I’m grateful to this group for keeping me steady during this time, and grateful that I’m not looking at much worse!
Comment by Tracy — October 31, 2006 @ 7:35 am
Better late then never, right?
I am only down .4 lbs. Better than up though. Last night I had lost a total of 29 pounds. Hopefully next week I can at least hit the 30 mark, maybe more. I am bunkering down this week. It has been so wild and crazy around here lately that I honestly can’t believe I lost that little bit (I really should have gained!) But hey, I’ll take it!
Weigh to go ladies! I have missed coming by lately but I promise to do better! Forgive me, please?!
Comment by Angie — October 31, 2006 @ 11:49 am
Up 0.2. And I’m so sorry for being so late with weigh-in! I weighed on Monday, but forgot to post - our week has been crazy.
