Wednesday Weekly Weigh In!

Gosh, can it be wednesday already again? Sure goes fast these days anymore I tell ya.. I weight exactly the same as last week. I had a great week.. lost about 7 lbs and then had a stressful weekend.. back up I went due to bad eating and stressing and not drinking water. Some day I will figure all this out.. someday. How did you do? I am planning to get back to Beck.. its been hectic and I am planning to be here tomorrow for our chat at 8pm Central time. Hope to see you there. Fingers crossed for a good week for all of us. I am trying to do better.. each and everyday I see as a "new beginning" to start over. But sometimes even that phrase is wearing on me. I hope this chat helps us stay more motivated and feel even more supported. I think its a great idea.. Hugs to all of you! ~Melissa

Love the live chat idea! I will make myself a note so I don't forget. Lousy eating week for me, have been still trying to get over this sinus infection and having a high-caloric pity-party. Weight is up again and I'm disgusted with myself but trying to be nicer. Been working hard at getting the house back together enough to get my treadmill out again. It misses me and my scale misses IT! Can't remember if I weighed in here last week and too late at night (for me) to spend time to check but I know I weighed less. sigh.... I think it was 136 or 138. ?? Anyway, I got up to 141.5 over the weekend and am down to 140. Gotta get this ten pounds OFF. Hugs to you too, I have missed you and really need to make everybody here a higher priority. Molly

It's only 10 lbs, as long we keep it in check that 10lbs will come off quickly. I know you can do it, I am higher than I want to be by 10-15 myself. Start coming back here if you can Molly, I notice I am doing much worse when I don't.. even if it does mean sacraficing in other areas, I find I need to make this group my priority and even when I am trying to I fall short sometimes, life gets so busy. So good to hear from you and hope u can come tonight!!! Exciting!

Hi..I know I am a day late but better late then never HW 358 SW 338 LW 245 Lowest 240 CW 243 Well, it did go down but I have a LONG WAY to go. I am trying really hard to make good choices but there are times it is just easier to pick up something "crappy" then it is to think of a good choice PLUS High Protein bars are a meal and not a snack..I have been eating to many Hugs Diana

I had to stop buying them Diana.. they became too "taboo" for me.. sigh. I do understand. *hugs*

Targets brand of Mint Chocolate TASTE just like a GS thin mint cookie. I agree on not buying anymore..sad thing is I never thought of that..lol Do you still do protein shakes..I started buying the Chike ones (to expensive) but I find I still want to eat not just DRINK. Diana

Oh wow, YUM! Yes, i drink shakes all the time. I need my "ice cream" and to me that is my replacement but its hard to just drink as a meal replacement anymore, I do agree. Today I am trying to do mostly shakes to decarb again.. story of my life anymore!!! I see my new PCP today who has had gastric bypass.. i am freaking out. Husband goes too (hes 6 years postop). Wish us luck.. he has nutritional lab deficiencies (low vitamin D, prolli bone loss) Sigh.. I need to tell her about my anxiety thus wanting to "binge eat" and its shameful and embarassing but I need to be honest. I need the help. I have lost the same 10 lbs for months now. It's such a struggle but I want to make it less of one.. I did so good the first year, not sure how I fell of the wagon but I did. Hang in there! I have never had Chike but i hear they are good! Where do u buy them at?

Hope that your appointment went smoothly, especially since you plan to "open up" about your eating habits. Most people just don't get it, but the PCP will.

I'm a bit frustrated and just want to mention a few things... So Diana, Mel, Molly... this is not directed at you at all. I just need to let you know that I am stressed-out too. HW: 332+ SW: 274 Low: 128.5 LW: 131 CW: 130 Cookies.... Oh, Boy... I'm in trouble now... mostly because they really don't "add" any value, but up the cravings like crazy. I would down the whole box of Thin Mint-like cookies / snacks / shakes... dangerous! So my weigh-in is 1 LB less... 130 LB, which is not a good thing since "something's" not right with my system... if it's metabolism or illness... the thing that worries me is that I can eat so many calories and not stabilize. Believe me... you would not want to be doing this. I think my average calories are up near 2000+/day... and I'm still losing. To me this says that I am competing to keep weight on, which should not be an issue now. We have different problems, but similar frustrations. I do think that avoiding OH on the weekends is a major factor in gains because "no one's looking" plus not weighing or measuring food... just buying the "wrong" foods is a No-No. That leads back to the cookies.... DH "treated" me to a Dunkin Donuts Oatmeal Raisin Cookie this morning. Here are the values... gag! I don't like the thick middle part so I ate the edge areas of 2 cookies and DH got the middles. Either way... I guess my edges are in the 2/3 of a cookie amount so that's 319 calories and a ton of sugar. I did not dump, which is good and not so good... Dunkin Donuts Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Serving Size: 128 grams Calories 480.0 Total Fat 14.0 g Saturated Fat 7.0 g Polyunsaturated Fat 0.0 g Monounsaturated Fat 0.0 g Trans Fat 0.0 g Cholesterol 40.0 mg Sodium 310.0 mg Potassium 0.0 mg Total Carbohydrate 83.0 g Dietary Fiber 5.0 g Sugars 51.0 g Protein 8.0 g

My Mint Chocolate thing was a protein bar not cookies. I need to STOP thinking since it is a PROTEIN bar it is OK to eat..it still has calories and that is what is getting me in trouble lately. I have not been bad about other "crap" but I need to stop buying the PBars like Melissa said..they are to good and I like them to much Good Luck
