I did NOT! I weighed myself at home nekid before I jumped in the shower. I said I wasn't going to weigh myself on the shipping scale at work. Man, you scared me there And the guys would love it if I did THAT!

So we are going to have a weekly weigh-in on Mondays, and not on Mondays and Thursdays? I personally think once a week is best.

Also, can we measure in fractions of pounds instead of whole numbers? Some weeks, a half a pound is better than nothing, even if it is just psychologically.

You can weigh once a week if you prefer. I am going to weigh on Thursday because it helps me be more accountable on the weekend. I think back to Thursday's weight and don't want to blow it!

If you have a scale that weighs in fractions, go for it. I do and I know that every ounce counts!

Oops, sorry! Guess I misread your post. Definitely had me confused!

I'd like to be in! I have no idea what my weight is but I've been doing WW flex plan. I had gradual weight gain and while I can wear my same clothes, some are decidedly uncomfy. I figure I could stand to lose about 20 lbs but 10 would be perfect for now

Will have to get you my weight - might do it from the gym tomorrow a.m. I don't have a scale at home.

Today I ran five miles! Yesterday was swimming and spin class. I try, OH do I try

Okay, here is my info since some of you are revealing your measurements I decided I should "step up to the plate" Well, not a real plate

waist: 29
hips: 41
Thigh:24
Chest: 36

I'm curious-can i follow a weight watchers type plan although i'm inactive atm and will only be able to do light exercise at best for a month or so?

I don't want to join ww or those types of plans but mainly want to eat properly & know how much to eat.

Does anyone have any experience with this q?

Dar-my weight is 65kg =130lbs

I was wondering the same thing so we both read it wrong.

Love the dog pic you have for your avatar! I love watching the ugly dog contest. They're so ugly they're cute. LOL

Just wanted you all to know that this group has helped me already. Some fiend brought in leftover Halloween candy today. The file cabinet where the food always ends up is near my cubicle. I have walked by it at least a dozen times during the course of my day and haven't been tempted to take one even once - mainly because I'm holding myself accountable to all of you. So, thanks for keeping me in line today!

Now, if I can just hang onto that frame of mind when I get home at 6:00 and start dinner. That's my period of mindless eating. A cracker here, a handful of raisins there. Next thing you know I've consumed a meals-worth of calories before sitting down to dinner. Argh !

Hope everyone had a good day.

And I passed the Starburst. Wish I could say I did yesterday, but I gave in to temptation... At least I did well today. And I will do well tomorrow...

Wow, first day at it and I sucked. Stopped at Starbucks for hot chocolate and banana loaf for breakfast (since I've been sick, thought I deserved it, talk about emotional eating). Then inadvertently ate 3 mini snickers at work from the candy bowl. And I didn't exercise since I still felt sluggish (maybe I haven't been sick all week, but coming down from a sugar rush )

They always say writing down what you eat is enlightening, tomorrow will be better, having to come clean here is going to be helpful.

Good luck to everyone else!

I did not eat any candy. Even better, I did not eat any of my own cookies that I brought to the meeting to share.
