Friday Morning Weigh in - 5th December 2008

[lellow 1,713]

Hi peoples!

Since upping my exercise and watching what I'm eating, I'm losing faster than I ever have since just after surgery. I am getting close to goal though, so expect that I will slow down.

Last week: 80kgs (176lbs)

This week: 78.5kgs (172.7lbs)

loss this week: 1.5kgs (3.3lbs)

Exercise 2 X 1 hour walks

3 X 35km ride on the stationary bike.

[Jachut 487]

Way to go!

I'm happy to report than I am back at 70kg today after swapping my loooooooooong slow runs for some serious circuit training and interval style runs. And cutting out the Arnotts Shortbread Creams :-(

[lellow 1,713]

Jachut,

whether you know it or not, you're my inspiration, and whenever I get sore and burning and sweaty from exercise, I think of what you've achieved and I keep going. :tongue2:

WTG on getting back to 70kgs matey!

[smsmithart 4]

I'm 155. Today that's down 2lbs from last week ...and I bought size 6 jeans ....

Down 5lbs from 2 weeks ago, as I missed last weeks weigh in.

Doing the 5 day pouch test to get back on track after slipping up during the Thanksgiving weekend.

Have a great week!

You guys are awesome. I had a lot further to go than you but I am still losing much slower. I could blame it on my doctor being so conservative with my fills. I am at 3.5cc in a 10cc band and I have another month to go before he will do another fill.

I lost 1 pound over the past 2 weeks. I challenged myself to be at 225 by New Year's but at this rate I won't make it. I am not eating too badly but I am not exercising. My life has been so crazy and I have been sick.

Please keep inspiring me. My husband and doctor are insistent that I just need to be patient because it is coming off and slower is healthier but I am ready for it to go faster.

Thanks for letting me vent!

wow- looks like everyone is doing well! Congratulations. Size 6 jeans?? I don't know if I will ever make those. I was thrilled when I got in the 14s.

Unfortunately I am lagging behind.

Last week 175

This week 175

I don't do decimals, but if I did I am up 1/2 lb.

I am hoping that next week brings a big number for me. I hope to figure out what I am doing wrong.

I'm down 1.5 pounds this week. I had absolutely no exercise. I have been super busy with work (annual audit), Christmas shopping and decorating, and getting ready for my trip to Hawaii tomorrow. I know I know... excuses are like buttholes... everyone's got one and they all stink. I am packing my running shoes so maybe I will get some good exercise on a beach.

[Lanette71 0]

I stayed the same this week. I don't feel any restriction at all when I eat, so I moved up my next fill to 12/19. Maybe the third time really will be the 'charm' !

[Shamrockgirl60 1]

Well I gained a pound after Turkey Day....eating leftovers. So this week I was pretty good lost that pound. Back on track with food and excercise this week. Hope to be 176 or 175 by next Friday. My goal was 170 by New Year's and I should make it.

It's hard during the holidays to get that exercise in. Today and this weekend getting all the Christmas in house decorations up and the tree.

Hope everyone had a good week.

[MistyD65 1]

Last week: 254

This week: 253.4

0.6 loss for a total of 50.6.

I was really afraid I would be up this week, so just over half a pound lost is fine with me! And that's even after having half a Cuban sandwich at Cheesecake Factory last night. Granted, I did have broccoli rather than fries, and I ate about 1/3 of the half of sandwich without bread, so I'm sure that helped.

Slow and steady wins the race!:tongue2:

Oh, I almost forgot - I was chosen as "Queen of Committment" at my Curves for December! I've been going faithfully Monday-Friday since I joined at the beginning of October, except for the almost 2 weeks I was out of town. And even then, I managed to get in 3 work-outs at a Curves there. I really enjoy my work-outs and they make a world of difference!

I didn't lose anything this week - still at 225. I didn't make it to Curves this week - I need to be better about making time for me.

Stayed the same. I get keep bouncing in a 3lb range, just want it to move. I need to change up my exercise. I have been running, but need to add some strength training.

Congrats to everyone that is moving down the scale! Keep up the good work!

I am down 1.8 this week. I'll take it.

I finally feel like I might be close to my sweet spot! I go in for another small adjustment on Monday.

[Lanette71 0]

I am just in awe of how much weight you guys have lost since August! (and a little jealous, of course!) I just need to find that "sweet spot" too with the band. I was hoping for restriction by now. But I refuse to give up! Been thru too much to give up on it! Have a great weekend!
