Weekly Weigh In 10/31-11/6

This is going to be another challenging week for me.  My in-laws are coming for the weekend and they.. do not have a history of being nice to me.  They're also diametrically opposed politically and their visit is poorly timed for that.  But I think they last visited over 10 years ago, so I can suck it up.  I've got escape routes planned - I have a commitment on Sunday that'll get me away for a few hours and, as a college student, I have the excuse of removing myself to study.  

So with that said, I'm happy that my weight is in a good place going into this week.  I will hold on to that bolster and use it to avoid eating crap with them.  (They eat crap.  How the hell do people eat out all the time?!  I don't get it.  I refuse to cook for them, though, since they're ridiculously picky and obnoxious one-uppers.  At least I know I've picked restaurants with good food for their visit.)  

HW: 319
LW: 172.2
TW: 170.8
Next Goal(s): 169, which is 150 down (SO CLOSE), and getting the scale to the point where it stops asking me to clarify my identity.  My partner hovers around 170, so I think I need to reliably be 5 pounds less than he is.  Getting there!

How about you?

Ooh, that sounds rough Gwen! This time of year is hard for stuff like that. Politically I want to scream and am trying to shut my mouth on a regular basis at work and tend to just be quiet because I feel like that is not the place for it. Personally it's got to be way harder - good luck with the visit!

I have a rough-ish week coming up. I have a girls trip this upcoming weekend that I'm not looking forward to because of tension between us so I'm in grin and bear it mode. Then on Sunday when I come back I have to go to a baby shower for my niece which means seeing my SIL who I ******g despise. Seeing her puts me in such an anxiety ridden state it's ridiculous and one of the reasons I generally hate holidays. Fun week.

HW: 377

LW: 154

TW: 154

Dream goal/next goal: 149 (Normal BMI) - I really want to be there by the end of the year which means I need to be strict with my diet and I fully admit I've been being kind of relaxed with it lately. 5 pounds. I can do this!

Ugh.  It sounds like a rough week indeed for you.  So much anxiety. :/ 

I can't imagine having to spend time with people I don't like. There are a couple in my extended family, but I'm able to just leave the room when they get terrible. Good luck.

HW:378

LW: 316

TW:314 (although yesterday it was 312, so we'll see where the week ends!)

my next goal is the arbitrary 290, which is what I weighed when I met my husband. Also, just getting under 300 hundred is something I'm looking forward to.

have a great week! (At least until the weekend..)

I have definitely warned my partner that I will excuse myself if I need to.  And I can always "go study," the perks of being a college student :D

Good luck, Gwen. I hope they behave themselves.

HW 408

LW 371

TW 364

Slowly chipping away....

Thanks!  Me too.  I've already warned my partner that I will excuse myself if they don't!

The scale is going the wrong way but i know why. I think im suffering from binge eating disorder.

HW 368

LW 169

TW 170.8

Goal 150

So I realized it's been a few weeks since I've posted on the weekly weigh in. I'd been posting my daily weight on the rny menu thread, but the fluctuations were driving me nutty and making me lose focus. I sat down tonight and figured my average weekly weights for the past 3 I've missed (I've recorded my avg weight in a notebook every week since surgery.) I like doing average weight because while the fluctuations can be absurd, average is pretty constant. It's not as bad as I was think it's been

HW: 337

Current: 193.5 

Next goal: BMI 29 'overweight' (189)

exercise has been on target. Still trying to wiggle in a 5th day of home based exercise-- but l like being lazy when I'm home:-)

good luck to you all with the family/political drama. I think I lucked out cause I don't know of a family member, in-law or blood, that doesn't share similar political views. Worry not, we're dysfunctional in many, many other ways.  

Thanks!  

I don't know if you've seen it, but I use this site called trend weight (link is in my sig below) and it's awesome for tracking trends of weight instead of daily fluctuations.  It has saved my mental health :)
