Sorry, I'm a bit late as usual. Weighed in at 216.0 this week. Not good. I seem to have fallen off the wagon before it even got rolling. But never give up! Another week another opportunity ahead....

124

**jenopher** · 10-09-2009, 07:38 AM

132 for me this morning

I made my weight watchers goal of 130 in May. I ate on maintenance for most of the past 5 months. I recently lowered my goal to 125, but truthfully, I'm still eating in maintenance mode.

This image is my weightloss chart from November through this past wednesday. What is most fascinating to me is to see the obvious monthly pattern in the chart. There's a clear 4 week cycle of highs and lows. If you look carefully at the part of the chart where I was losing, you can even see that 4 week cycle at work there too - distinct dips every 4-5 weeks.

Anyway, whenever I'm in an "up" week, I get a little bummed out, but seeing this chart makes me realize that it's perfectly normal to fluctuate a bit. I know I am not losing and gaining the same 2-3 pounds over and over. It's just water and the natural cycle of life. I feel pretty good about the fact that I've figured out how to maintain this healthy weight I'm at.

One of these days I'll buckle down and really work on the last 5 pounds.

Wow, Susan, that's a great chart. What a wonderful way to graph your progress. It's so encouraging, too. I've been looking at at old spreadsheets and I've been in the 245 range since I joined this last March. I've only made this big drop since I started really writing down everything I eat (I've always said I eat really well, and I've discovered that I do, I just eat a lot) and joining the Y to vary my exercise routine was really a good idea, too, and being able to narrow down the possible medical causes behind my weight gain and medicate them, that's helped, too.

I know I still have to work on the diet and exercise.

Up to 131. Oh well.

**Possegal** · 10-09-2009, 03:36 PM

Just a reminder to let me know if there are any issues with seeing the chart. And remember if you can't see from the first link, you definitely should be able to from the second. Not sure if google ever worked out the problem where folks were still not being able to see it even if they were logged in. I should probably just start putting the second link in, rather than confuse things any more.

I may start to do that. Let me know if that causes any problems for anyone.

181.2 for me this week.

**limewave** · 10-12-2009, 06:32 AM

Didn't weigh in last week. We were at a wedding from Friday early AM to Sunday. DD was the flower girl

And with the tree taking out our power early last week and being displaced from our home, I've been eating a lot of junk! Hopefully didn't do too much damage to the progress I made.

Back on track this week!

**channlluv** · 10-12-2009, 08:06 AM

pssst, Possegal...I think you missed me.

234.2 last Friday

This morning, though, 231.6

**Possegal** · 10-12-2009, 08:43 AM

Weird, I am sure I put it in there. Though sometimes I think I maneuver away from the site while still on that square and I think you then lose the change. Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I put in your Friday weight, unless you want the today one. Though both of them are outstanding - congrats!!

Sorry I have been out of commission lately. Thankfully not the seasonal or swine flu which has decimated our school population (I teach). I have been holding at 140 lbs. I did see an endocrinologist about my diabetes and we have agreed on 135 or less as optimum weight. So, I guess I'll try to reach this point.
Thanks for always putting together the list!

Holding steady at 148.6. I have noticed some significant body changes this week though. I didn't do before measurements when I started working out but I've definitely lost inches around my hips/waist. I'll have to try on some pants that used to be really tight on me when I get home and see how they fit

.

So, no weight movement, but definitely have firmed up all over and added muscle so I'm happy.
