Water weight is amazing. I reluctantly reported my Friday weigh-in (right after a four-day vacation during which every meal was eaten out) at 109.5, way up for me. During the day Friday, I peed a zillion times. Saturday morning, I weighed 106.5! Yesterday I ate pretty normally, no strict dieting but nothing too bad either, and this morning I weighed 105.5!
Really strange, but I am thrilled to have lost four lbs. in two days, even if it was entirely unreal weight (i.e. all water). :D
Late posting because I was gone for the weekend. Before I left, 124.8. Speaking of water, I think this was dehydrated weight. I cross country skied a total of about 32 miles F-S-S, so I was very hungry S & S (and ate a lot more than normal, and food I don't normally eat as we were eating out for dinners). Back to reduced calorie for another week or two!
Weighed in at 147 again on Saturday but never got online to post about it until now. Considering how little exercise I've gotten and how little attention I've paid to my nutrition in the past three weeks, I'm THRILLED to still be at the same weight.
Now...to start nudging it downward again.
Catching up before I need to catch up again tomorrow. :)

Possegal, Thanks sooooo much for keeping these records. Columns M & N are not calculating for my row. Do you have a moment to update it? :) SInce I've actually *lost* something this go-round, seeing that little number change us a motivator for me.Quote:

It's nice to see a total for the group. Anyway, looks like I deleted your cell too when doing the couple rows above you. Without a lbs lost, no % lost. DOH.Quote:

I finally reached my Weight Watchers goal, which amounted to a loss of 10% of my weight from when I started in mid-September.
It sure took me long enough, I averaged just under a pound lost per week, but what the heck.
Now I have to maintain my goal weight of 148 (+/- 2 lbs) for the next 6 weeks so I can make Lifetime. Yikes! That could be more of a challenge than losing the weight in the first place ...
I mentioned last week I was going to try to find a lighter pair of pants (or pajamas ;)) for my weigh-in this week, instead of the jeans I've normally been wearing to WI. Digging around the back of my closet I found a very lightweight pair of pants I got back when Lee & I were bike touring (when I realized that lugging a couple of pairs of Levis in my panniers was a dumb thing to do). I haven't been able to wear these pants for years, but joy of joys they fit me now! And they're about a pound lighter than the jeans I had been wearing to WI. But I was under goal by more than the difference in the weight of the pants, so I wasn't cheating ... much ;)
To celebrate, Lee & I went out for dinner at the Lobster Shack, where I had a Lobster Roll ("Naked" - basically just lots of lobster (yum) in a bun, no mayo (not a fan of mayo), tho I did use some of the clarified butter), coleslaw, some of the fries, a few spoonfuls of Lee's clam chowder, and, of course, a beer (Shipyard IPA, yum). That sure put a healthy dent in my weekly points allowance, even with my upped daily amount on account of being on Maintenance now. But boy was it worth it. :cool:
105.4
Mr. Crankin: 149.0 (there was a big note left on top of my laptop this morning, with this # on it)
Weekends kill me. Last Saturday I weighed the same as today. Then, with just moderate eating out and the usual exercise, it took me all week to get back. But, there's a downward trend and now my "high end" after the weekend is about 2 lbs. less than it was before.
And now I am off to a weekend of x country skiing and eating!
Congratulations Jo! That's awesome.

Jobob, congratulations! And just under a pound a week is about perfect!
Well, it is Friday the 10th. I am at my lowest yet at 105. I am not trying to actively lose weight, but to maintain. However, I am having some adjustment trying to figure out how much to eat for the exercise I do and the weight I am. Maintenance is really a foreign issue to me. Averaged 1475 calories a day this week and down .6, which is statistically insignificant, but looking at the charts I am still trending down, though slowly.
It wouldn't hurt for me to be 100 pounds but I am not going to make that my goal. My goal is still to maintain and to get stronger.
117.2 -- a few set backs... now I'm ready to really focus on this :)
Congrats, Jo.
I have utmost respect for those of you who have lost a lot. I think it's even harder when you are trying to balance fueling for intense exercise and losing.
