Monday Morning Weigh Ins

You know- it's bizarre... I've been eating more and exercising way less- so I hope that I'm not losing muscle... I think all the wieght training adds muscle which we want cuz it's burns better and looks better too- but it does weigh more... so I hope when I start back up again I won't see too much of a gain. It will be incentive for me to add cardio- that's what I'm the worst at... Holly

Wow! Grats Holly *turns green with jealousy* hehehe seriously, awesome awesome job! Michele

Hi everyone! I had a good week this week. I always seen to gain right before my period, then lose the next week. So here is my loss, yay! I am so glad to see the scale moving again! HW 299 SW 288 LW 227 CW 224.5 -2.5 lbs Jen

Good Morning everyone!! Finally getting over my cold. Had a good eating day yesterday with one cheat..lol BUT last night around 8 pm... my cat was killed on our highway... I was hysterical. He was in our family for 4 years and Im having a hard time getting it out of my head. This morning I felt a little better espeically getting on the scale... HW: 292 SW: 282 LW: 179 CW: 176 3lbs gone!!! Wow didnt think that would happen since I had about 3 days with little protein and being sick. I have decided to up my protein! So Im doing 1/2 a shot everyday.. which is 21 gr. of protein. 31lbs to my personal goal... Im 5'5 and wanna weigh 145lbs. Not out of reach is it? Have a good day!! Stacey

Oh Stacey, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. That is so sad. Hugs and prayers coming your way.

Thanks Janie... Im having a tuff time.. I know it was a "cat" but... you know. Stacey

I am so sorry about your cat, Stacey. I know that my heart will be broken, too, when my old guy passes on. They sure do take up residence into your heart, don't they? As for your goal...it seems right on to me. I am 5'6" and am aiming for at least 150...but I would be okay if I could manage to hit 145. I think anything lower and I will lose all hint of a shape! However, I want to have some wiggle room for the bounce back weight gain that I keep reading about on other's blogs. ~Suz

Thanks Suz- My nut's goal is 160lbs... she thinks I have to much muscle, But Im still in a 14 (errr) My cats death was aweful... wouldnt wi**** on my worse enemy... I seen it happen and my youngest son is upset with me for letting him outside. But he loved it out there. I never in a million years thought he would go on the highway. Thanks for the thoughts! Stacey

Stacey- I am sooo sorry to hear about your cat- how awful!!! Thinking of you- Holly

Yep...I have the "high muscle mass" issue myself, so the goal is around 150 for me. No one ever believes that I can weight what I do, especially now. My teeny-tiny MIL is 5'1", 120-125 pounds- very petite! Yesterday I was telling her how I could fit into a 6 pants now...she about hit the floor because she just got rid of several size 6 pants because they were too tight on her! (uh, send them this way!) I weigh nearly 40 pounds more than she does...pretty strange how we can carry our weight so differently from one another. The poor kitty...our older cat, Rowen, is 11. He started out as in indoor cat...then one day he just had to be out. For over a year, I worried everytime he went outside. Our younger cat, Willow...outdoor cat from the start. I worry about her, too. But, sometimes they just have to be where they feel happiest, even if they don't see the danger... they are animals afterall. I hope that your son is someday able to understand that we, as humans, really have very little control over what our pets do and where they choose to go.
