Wl-chllng #2!!!

[kerrybelle]

I'm holding at 138.0. It was another rough week. Hopefully next week I can make a change and go down a bit.

Congrats to all of you for the various accomplishments!

Wow, a lot of us are doing very well! Too bad I'm not one of them!

I totally forgot that today was Friday, so I'll weigh tomorrow morning. I don't think it'll be good because I've not been paying ANY attention to what I ate at all this week. Not good.

I did start eating better yesterday though, so I'm on track to turn this trend around for the last week. I also think that keeping this going is a good idea! I can make another chart for say the next 8 weeks if people want to keep tracking. Personally, it keeps me honest to see the numbers on the screen every week alongside everyone else's. Of course, I say that as if I've actually been keeping up with chart postings! Oops.

I'll get it updated tomorrow when I weigh in, and I'll post it for everyone. I promise!!

i was 138.2 so i'm pretty happy! thought i'd be worse because i had two root canals on wednesday and only ate boston market mashed potatoes. maybe it jump-started my metabolism from my normal salad-at-lunch/salad-at-dinner routine. gotta find a way to weigh in next week from the tour of california. probably will not be good as we will be on a luxury vacation, but i'll try to be good. i like the way my jeans are fitting me again. dont want to lose that.

i agree we ought to continue with the weekly weigh-ins, it's good to be accountable.

Just down one more pound. 131, will I get to 130 and keep it there before the challenge ends next week? Like so many of us my weight fluctuates on a daily basis. I guess I should be happy it's only by a couple of pounds usually. I really wanted to get to a stable 128 during these weeks, so I'm a little disappointed. It doesn't really seem to matter what I'm eating. I can go on an ice cream binge and not gain anything, or really watch what I'm eating and gain 2-3 pounds. Frustrating at best.

I've been doing my own challenge, and am down 7 lbs. Woo hoo. Have to think long and hard about whether I'm willing to post my weight, though....

By the way -- do we HAVE to stop the challenge? I like the idea of a weekly check in long term -- sort of our own Weight Watchers' meetings. What does everyone think?

Yes, let's. My goal date is March 15th although who knows.

You and me, both.

However, I think I am going to do a little better going forward. I bought some really lean beef and cut it into deck-of-card-portions for the freezer, the other day. Since I have been eating one every day, I have been a LOT less inclined to eat between scheduled meals, and I just FEEL better. Kinda think I needed the red meat (obviously the things in the red meat...I know many of you don't eat it).

I have to laugh...I grew up eating a lot of red meat, and my dad (who had the cholesterol of a teenager his whole life, like me) would tell me if I had a cold that all I needed was a good steak! OK...I don't use steak to treat the colds I get sometimes, but his cure for everything was red meat. I guess maybe I take after him!

Back to where I started at 163 thanks to a week of 12-14 hour days at work, snacks from the vending machines, and no time to exercise. Hopefully this coming week will be better.

Updated chart:



We are missing quite a few weigh-ins! I was up again this week, but not too bad. The good news is that I finally got to ride yesterday for the first time in 2008!!

My goal is to lose this bloat and get back to my starting weight by the last weigh-in!

I'd be happy to make up another chart to track us through March. Anyone who wants to be included, just post here and I'll add you.

Sorry I didn't post on Friday - I am the same as last week.

GLC thanks again for the spreadsheet.

[brok]

Sorry, keep forgetting to post

Feb 8 - 141 and Feb 15 - 140

[Starfish]

Yeah, sorry, me too. Guess I don't like reporting that I seem to be holding steady at 160.

[snowtulip]

Sorry, we just got back from Sedona, so I haven't seen a scale. I'll weigh in at the gym tomorrow. Think the weight will go up even though I exercised quiet a bit in Sedona, I also ate anything I wanted (like chocolate chip scones, and carrot cake, but it was vacation!)

[bonniekate]

oops, I forgot to post on friday even though I weighed myself!

139.8...going nowhere fast

See, now I feel badly! I didn't post that chart to 'guilt' everyone into checking in!

I just felt guilty that I hadn't posted an updated chart recently!

Anyway, I did update it and I'll post the newest version later tonight or tomorrow. I also just realized that I won't be around for the last weigh-in. I will be traveling Tues thru Sun, so I won't be able to post either my weight or an updated chart until Monday, 2/25. Sorry!
