Guess I forgot to 'report in' this past week.

None-the-less, I was down 1.2#

Been a decent week so far, even considering going out to eat at a Sugar-Shack Breakfast.

Tonight is weigh-in night for Weight Watchers, and I think I just might make the 2.2 I need for 5%!

Thanks!

So I was down again (3.8 #s!), and have now achieved 5% lost!!!
That's HUGE for me.

To help you relate, go the the produce section of your local Grocery store... and pick up...
Four 5-pound bags of Potatoes!!!

This week has been fairly well, and wicked wicked busy.
We had made commitments to 'up' or activity level for the next 6 weeks (to start), and track it.

I had yet to do that, and am now trying to track our 'walks' together.
Taking one of the girls to walk around a outlet-mall for two hours, was surprisingly huge for activity points!

Not that I plan on using them, it's just an added understanding to what is helping to lose the numbers.

I can't wait until this Wed. night, to see where we are now.
All three of us are keeping positive outlooks, and that is helping.

I'm starting to get myself back into shape as well. I'm only 200 lbs, but I'm also 5'10 and was 175-180lbs in college. Trying to get down to 190, and see how I feel/look. It isn't easy getting back into exercise and eating well after a couple years of not doing much.

Keep it up, I really enjoy reading this thread. It helps.

Well, it's Tuesday already...
I was up 1 # last week, even after the extra walk.

After we disussed it, I realized that I had come straight from work, and didn't stop to use the bathroom before weighing in.
Go ahead.... laugh...

But it is true. A pint is a pound, the world around.
I go through a 1.1 liters of Coffee in the morning, and another 1 liter of water in the afternoon (not always, but did that day). I'm sure the coffee was gone, but the drinking water from the afternoon....???

BAH! 1# is nothing, providing is isn't part of a trend.
I had a couple of 'rougher' days this week, and wasn't keeping track for some of it. Even had an overly salted mac-n-cheese dinner at a restaurant. I just need to flush out my system today and tomorrow, before Wed-eve weigh-in.

Even with my being 'bad' during part of the week, I don't think I should have a bad week this week.

Down another 4 pounds!
That means I have lost 25# since starting 2/20! (24.6# true loss)

Weight Watchers must have simply added up the loss values, to mark an achievement, but that doesn't surprise me.
I've been charting my values, and knew when I hit 5% loss. According to WW, I just achieved that this Wed....? But by my calculations, I'm down 5.82% after this week...

I'm hoping to get time at camp this weekend to take a walk, but that's not looking good at the moment. Instead, I'm going to be saddled in driving around for most of the day. (Tire change-out, followed by a long-a$$ drive to go buy a 'new' Van)

Well, that's my week. Hope you guys are doing as well.
Haven't heard many checking in on their progress, lately.........

Well then ,fill us in!!! I know I would be happy to hear from others!

Give us the trials-and-tribulations, and ups and downs as you go.

I started this as there was originally one from another friend, but it seemed to have died (and was very long...).

I haven't gibven any concrete values, but enough in the details. So trust me, you have nothing to worry about!


I'm headed for weigh-in tonight, and I'm not sure... It has been an interesting week, and I could go either way.

Keep it up Dan. This types of threads are a motivator to many of us. Good luck on your weigh in.

As for myself, today I hit 189 lbs. Down 77 lbs from when I started back in August.

Let us know how it went !

Default Re: Shed a few, with some friends

Well, I was up .6 pounds.
Not a major issue. That's a glass of water.

I had a 'big' Lean Cuisine for lunch, and had been drinking a lot that day; so it is easy to understand. I usually try to take it easier on the afternoons of weigh-in, but had lost track of time due to stress.
Oh yeah.... I was also just a little stressed last week.


Haven't been tracking this week, and been a little looser with everything.
If ever I expected a rough weigh-in, this week would be it.

But I will pound the water tomorrow, and am hitting the carrots as well.
Hoping that a good scraping will do! LOL!

Well, was down a pound.
Nothing special, but it made me think about the prior week...

I need to pay attention to my salt intake.

An it has been a salty weekend.
Looks like I'm going to need to flush my system this week, before weigh-in!

Well, I'm saddened that no others have been here in my absence...

Life got a bit hectic for a while there, but I survived and am back again!

Since the last check in:
  • I was down 1.4 pounds. Resonable, I guess.
  • Ended up in the Hospital (freak issue...) for Memorial Day weekend.
  • After being cleaned-out and scoped(!), I was down 3 pounds.
Last week I was up .4 pounds. Heck, that's a glass of water...

I feel I'm doing okay so far this week, so I just need to be mindful.
Weekends at Camp do not seem to be helpful for my diet. Fridays have been dinner at the Pavilion, and less walking due to the rain.

Damn it, up a pound again.

I need to start flushing my system better.
And walking on the weekends. We were doing that originally, but we've been slacking off.

What's going on with everyone else?

Bueller?

I was back down to 170 for the first time since 2006, but then I took a 12 day vacation and now I'm sitting at 175. I really want to be down in the 160s before my vacation this winter.

Happy to say that I have kept my loss of 22-24 lbs., depending on the day, since late Nobpvember.
Feels great to shop for "slim" clothing at 54 and to be back to a waist from 20 years ago.
No going back for me.

Just got back from Weigh-in. Down 3+ pounds.
Guess that makes up for gaining 1.4 over the last two weeks....

5 pounds may be easier for me, but I'm sure you can re-lose that! Looking at the big picture, you're talking losing 10% of your body. It will take a while, but you can do it.

I only dream of that day! I'm jealous.
Just keep reminding yourself what it took to get there. I'll bet you could drop a little more if you wanted too!

Well..... I'm still alive....
And I say that literally!

The day after my last post, I was hospitalized for basically 2 weeks. Sepsis.
I made it out of there, and weighed in with a 4# loss!

Three weeks of sitting on my ass, recovering...

We haven't been tracking, or being very careful. Plus, there were numerous ice cream sandwiches (at least they were made with reduced fat ice cream!) consumed during those 3 weeks.
I finally weighed in... back up with a 3.8# gain. Not bad, all things considered!


And before you comment; Yes, I'm doing fine. It'll take some unknown length of time for me to get rid of the leg swelling from the Cellulitis, but I'm otherwise fine. I just mee to (try to) avoid Sodium, and avoid Gout.
Yes, that's now an issue too.

Default Re: Shed a few, with some friends

Sounds like you're making a pretty good recovery from being in the hospital. The only advice I can give you is that if you're gonna be sitting around a lot then you should try to avoid the high carb items. No activity plus high carb intake is never a good thing. Also try to stay away from the processed sugars.

Good luck on your recovery.

I started back to the gym today for the first time since January. I have been a few times since then, but today starts the first week that I will be back on a workout schedule. I'm probably going to be really really sore tomorrow.
