Weigh In Friday!

Hi everyone!  Well, I weighed in on Thursday instead because I knew I had a mom’s night in and didn’t dare weigh in the morning after that!  Too much beer, chips and stuff I really shouldn’t eat but as of Thursday morning I weighed in at 2.1 pounds less than I did last week.... I’m finally back to losing again We’ll see how long that lasts, but I think it’ll be good for now!

You all have been really quiet this week How are you all doing?  Have you lost any weight?  I want to see LOTS of comments today - so let us know how you did!

I’m sorry this isn’t longer, I just don’t have much to say today other than have a good weekend! And eat those fruits and veggies

Weigh-In Friday!

Okay, so let’s see… 2 weeks ago I was down 12.6 pounds or something similar to that (I’m too lazy to look, lol), then last week I gained 9.3 pounds (again give or take since I’m too lazy to look), and this week I lost 2.2 pounds so that would make me…

Wait, doing the math here -

5.4 pounds from 3 weeks ago, and exactly 10.4 pounds down from my record high last year.  Not exactly stellar results in a year!  I’ve been on some freaking bad ass roller coaster that I can’t seem to get myself off of.  Even if we took my record high just a few months ago (but not as high as last year) which is when I recommitted myself I find that I’m only down 4.6 pounds.  Good God, I’m a joke… but at least I’m a consistent joke!

Actually I have been rethinking my decision to get off of Weight Watchers.  I am reconsidering joining again.  I felt much more responsible for my eating with Weight Watchers - my problem is that I didn’t work the plan necessarily towards the end, which is why I quit to begin with.  Maybe my problem is that I was only doing it online rather than going to meetings.  I have to sit and think about this thoroughly to figure out if Weight Watchers was the best “diet plan” for me, or if I just have to accept the fact that I’m going to remain fat until I get off my ass and do something about it.  I don’t really know the answer to that. 

But I do know that many of you have showed some real improvement lately and for that I’m very happy!  You all seem really committed to losing the weight, and that is awesome!  So, tell us how you did this week - Did you all drop big numbers or what??

Weigh In Friday!

Well I weighed myself early again just so I could post this before Shelah woke up and freaked out that there was no post - she does that when she loses weight and there is no one to tell

So I weighed myself on Thursday instead of Friday and found that I lost another 1.2 pounds.  Not the big number of last week but considering I had 2 good weeks in a row I wasn’t expecting huge amounts.  Not to mention, my legs and feet are swollen beyond belief.  During the summer months I swell up like tree trunks when it comes to my legs.  It is a mixture of problems with my circulation as well as the heat, and the fact that I work on the computer all day doesn’t help at all.  Most of the time during the summer I look like my ankles and my feet are like the same size as my thighs!  I hate it but it comes with the territory.  Anyhow, the past few days have been particularly painful and they are just huge!!  So, I’m giving myself 4 pounds of water weight, but considering my ankles were swollen last week when I weighed in, I’m not totally sure so I’m just looking at the numbers on the scale

Look at me babble, lol.  Anyhow, I don’t have any deep or meaningful post today - so let’s just weigh-in shall we??

We have a lot of people who haven’t been around in a few weeks and besides the fact that we miss you - we are certainly here to console you if you have for some reason gained weight or need a little support to keep losing.  Don’t feel as if you only have to post losses - we love when you post gains as well - it helps keep you on track and also gives us clues as to what we can share with you that you may be wanting to know!  The fact is, we are all facing this together, and we have had plenty of weeks of gains ourselves… so get back on the wagon and let us know how you are doing!!

Oh and don’t be shy new people - we see you signing up So, go ahead and tell us where you are starting from and what you hope to lose!!
