July/August weight loss thread

[Susan Otcenas]

Hi All!!

Back after a 12 day vacation in Victoria BC & San Juan Island. It was great! But, 12 days of restaurant meals (and not recording WW points, since it's a total crap shoot with restaurant meals) has taken its toll. Despite 375 miles of bike riding, 3 runs, 1 kayak trip and miles and miles of walking while siteseeing, I'm still up 3 pounds. But woohoo it was soooooo worth it. I truly believe I could live on scones. Really. I'd be 500 pounds, but I think I could do it.

Soooo, my starting weight is 131 pounds. Goal is 125.

Wishing everyone a successful challenge!

Since I weighed in early last week before my long weekend w/ my sister (you guesed it lots of eating, drinking--no biking). So this weeks weigh in will be tough..since I weighed myself this weekend and I am UP from my starting weight I submitted. BUT I'll see if I can get back down to my starting weight. Just makes my goal a bit tougher. But the tight pants is killing me!
I have time...Friday is still a few days away!

I"m not playing this month, but thought I would update from the last challenge. I've been off the bike for two weeks since I blew up my knee on the 400K, so thought for sure I was putting weight back on. I tried on "the dress" this morning, and it zipped right up, and now, is so loose on top that I'll have to wear a strapless bra under it to fill it back out. Can't win...

Newbie here...I submitted my current weight and (2-month) goal last week. But how often/when are we supposed to do weigh-ins?

[Possegal]

We weigh in once a week. Most do this on Friday and that is the date in the chart (though earlier today I saw that it had a December date - oops). But others do it on the weekend or on that following Monday. Whatever works best for you. You will see that on Friday a lot of folks will be checking in with their updated weights though.

[HappyTexasMom]

Thanks, Possegal.

My weight yesterday was 148.

[HappyTexasMom]

oh, nm, we're doing *this* Mon/Fri...just ignore me, my brain is fried today.

Back after a 12 day vacation in Victoria BC & San Juan Island.

Oh excellent, I love it up there!

And heck, if you can't splurge on a great holiday like that, what's the point?

(says the one who this past weekend could not resist the great pie made by Raleighdon (Mimi's DH) and had plenty of ice cream to tide herself over )

Whups! I forgot to update with the whole deathride thing.

7/10 - 135.5

-- gnat! (can't wait to get under 130 again. That's what my driver's license says)

[katluvr]

Ok, really gotta get serious...I knew my pants were tight, and I had problems w/ my zipper on these pants--but MY ZIPPER BUSTED today.
Good think I have a long blouse on!
On the bike trainer to watch the tour tonight fer sure!

[txred9876]

I have not been good with my eating habits at all.....it has been way to hot to exercise after work. I really do not want heat stroke!

I am back up to 250.2

144 again--aargh!

Earlier in the week, I was down to between 143 and 142, but that was a couple of days post a metric century. It's been a very stressful week, so maybe that's the difference.

I started back to graduate school again for an add-on certification to my Masters. It's been so long since I've been in the whole academic frame of mind--too much reading and writing and I've been very busy business-wise. Finished the course yesterday, so things will be back to normal for a few weeks. Big time travel schedule coming up--Utah next week, Vermont the week after, then my vacation to the beautiful Pacific NW. I hope my weight stays stable.

And heck, if you can't splurge on a great holiday like that, what's the point?

Precisely! It was well worth it. I'm still dreaming about the "Exotic French Toast" I had at a restaurant called John's Place. When I make my 125 goal, I'm going to try to duplicate the recipe. That will be great motivation!

My big dream for when I reach my goal weight is purchasing some really good jeans like "7 for All Mankind" or "Citizen's of Humanity."

I have a long ways to go . . .

Every pound I lose I'm putting $5 into my piggy bank

[Possegal]

Oh I like your dream limewave, and the idea of putting a little money away for each pound. I may have to steal that idea.
