Weekly Weigh in 6-16-08

Corinna, I love going in Whole Foods and just looking! I'm just glad there isn't one close to my house. I go when I have a PS appointment but luckily I can't spend hundreds of dollars then because of the drive! I don't know how you resist the temptation! CeCe

Morning, Britt! It's so good to have you back where you belong! Stay strong and you will be back in the 140s this week! You will stick to your plan and once you get a few good days under your belt, you'll be totally back on track! Weekends are still HARD for me. It's too easy to snack and just eat too much overall. We grilled out Saturday night and even though everything was healthy, I just ate too much! I simply have to plan for my weekend meals and STICK TO MY PLAN! Stats: Beginning Weight: 245.25 This Week: 130.75 (up) Total Loss: 114.50 BMI: 22.4 CeCe

Cece you are doing so well maintaining your weight in the 130's terrific! I am starting the 5DPT today and hope this will help me get back on track! I CANNOT WAIT TO GET BACK TO GOAL!!! hugs, Britt

Welcome back Britt it's so good to see your smiling face every Monday. I am really struggling with sweets and not exercising. I know why I'm gaining and I know how to stop but I can't seem to motivate myself to stop. I hate it when my clothes get tight. We're so busy with baseball and something going on every night. We're going to the lake this weekend so hopefully I'll get in some swimming. It's been so cold we haven't even been out in our boat. So my goals for the week are to limit sweets and exercise at least 5 times. Deb

Thanks Deb!!! I just posted about an accountabilty tread - want to join in? I hear you - this is HARD But we can do it Here is to you getting your exercise in 5 x this week! hugs, Britt

Well, I don't even know how to report this... It has been so long since I have logged in for my weekly weigh ins... I have just been so ashamed of how my weight has been moving.... So here goes... a big dose of reality... Highest weight = 309 Lowest weight = 178 Goal weight 158 Last week = 206 (I never thought I would be over 200 again) This week = 202 (Finally going in the right direction) This weeks weight loss = 4 Total weight loss = 107 I have been trying watch my grazing and when I do want to graze I am getting out the fresh veggies.... Doing much better the past couple of days... It is just soooo hard when I get on the scale and see the numbers climbing and climbing..... That viscous cycle is starting to rear it's ugly head again.... I am trying to nip it in the bud though.... Sooo sorry for being so absent lately... Just dealing with a lot mentally, plus the weight gain...... BTW... Hubby had a job interview today for a job paying twice the amount he is making now.... it would be such a blessing if this job came through, plus it is something he enjoys doing versus stocking grocery shelves for minimum wage... Please keep us in your prayers that this job comes through..... HUGS 2 ALL, Shawn M.

Congrats on the step in the right direction! congrtas on being accountable and posting grazing is VERY hard -- I have trouble with that still *sigh* We have to remember we have been BLESSED with a tool that will work IF we work it!!! Let's do this together Shawn! prayers for HUBBY and the Job! keep us posted Britt

Thanks so much Britt!!!! AT least I am making better choices when I graze now... instead of the fudge, chips, or other junk, I am eating carrots, celery, cucumbers and watermelon... I am definitely feeling the difference that my choices have on me..... Now I just need to get my house cleaned... LOL.... Thanks again Britt!!! I will keep everyone posted about the job for Todd.... HUGs, Shawn M.

Hello November Buddies, You all look great, I haven't been on in awhile & missed you all!!! I'm doing OK... I stay in between 135 & 138...or at least I have in the past 2 months. I still don't get all my protein & water in, but I make sure to take my vitamins every day. I'm wearing a 8/10/12 size right now. I don't think I can go lower than that because of my sagging skin :0( ..o well..no more surgery for me to fix any of those, unless I win the lotto :0).. I'll deal with it..it's better than the size 26W I wore before. Weight, day of surgery: 259 Last week: 135 This week: 135 Loss: same Total: 124 Current BMI: 23.2 All we can do is just go day to day & make the best choices possible. Everyone have a GREAT week, even though were already on hump day :0)

I am with you I will get PS .... when I win lotto (notice I said *WHEN*) TERRIFIC JOB JULIE - you look great LOVE your new avatar
