Tardy Official Thursday Weigh-In

Oops. 

I did weigh in and I suppose if I'd had terrific success, I wouldn't have forgotten to post my weight.  Sigh.

So, I'm 186.  Is that a pound higher?  I am just disgusted and annoyed.  Also?  I kind of hate my new scale, but my old scale died a sudden death, so I can't positively confirm that my scales are wildly out of sync.  I'm still wearing the same pants, so how can I be so much fatter?

Do you want to check in?  Check in now, if you want.

Still 130.5

Compulsion to eat white carbs is great and cannot be resisted. And, "Sweety, will you not gawk at me while I consume my weight in root beer, and by God, if you think about buying diet you won't wake to see another sunrise."

Saw baby on ultrasound.

Pregnancy can be worth it on some days.

I am down .5 to 189.0 an all time low since sometime in 1997.

Don't let me catch you!

Onward, Downward! Never give up!

Now this is the blog of yours I should really stay in touch with. You have set an awesome example. Apparently, it hasn't gone quite as well for you lately, but it still looks like success to me.

If you're still comfortably wearing the same pants as you were 10 pounds ago (and they're not elastic waist), then either your pants were too big before or you haven't really gained 10 pounds! That's just my opinion. If my weight fluctuates more than 5 pounds or so, I can definitely feel it in the waist of my pants and skirts. And it is not a good feeling.

I'm at 226.8 and really frustrated as well. I have discovered that I may not be eating enough since I am strength training 3 days a week. I booked an appointment with my YMCA trainer, and with a nutritionist! I'm really excited about seeing the nutritionist, actually. I'm journaling faithfully every day, so I can take it to her and show her. Cool! So maybe you're not eating enough and your body is burning muscle instead of fat - it is really true. I hope we both have a better week with smaller numbers!

I am at 156. I don't remember what I was at the last weigh in, but I am down 62.5 lbs. in one year. I have 6 lbs to go. Now I am working on toning up those arms and abs more. I get to lift weights with the big boys at the gym. LOL That was a huge accomplishment for me to start doing that.

[LeeAnn]

So sorry Mel. I really don't know what to say. I am at 163, not really where I wanted to be, but I will take it!!!!

Yesterday, I was three days into phase one of the South Beach diet with my husband. He weighs everyday...I refuse to. He's down almost eight pounds, and I'm down four to 222.6. But I knew he would lose faster and more easily than I would. Gotta love female hormones.

I'm really missing chocolate right now. There's a sugar-free, carb free version of the hot fudge brownie sundae at DQ, right???

No??? Sigh...I'll keep eating cucumber and celery sticks then.

I'm at 164. Down one pound. My pants from when I weighed 149 last year still fit, but they're tighter than I like for them to be. Those are my forgiving pants, they don't have an elastic waist, but I think there is some lycra in the material, so they've got some give. My less forgiving pants don't fit, at least not in a way that I'd want to share with anyone besides myself. I actually broke out my size 34R (not sure how that translates on the 12/14 scale (probably a 14) on Friday, just because I wanted to wear something different for a change. I feel much better in these pants, confirming the others were too small BUT I feel horrible knowing that these are the pants that fit -- I bought them as "transition" pants after my son was born two years ago and I haven't worn them in over 15 months.

Water weight, maybe? Sometimes that trips me up.

(As does chocolate, but we won't go there.)

I'm at 150, the same place I was last week, but I'm not going to complain. Just a few more pounds to go, but those are always the hardest, aren't they?

Well....I just got back from a weekend away. Didn't even try to eat good food so I am going to wait a couple days till I shake off that bloated feeling before I weigh in.

Before I left though I admit to being up about 5 pounds from that historic low I made last month. No place for excuses, but still the monthly skipped on me (change oriented, not pg) and I DO have a range of "symptoms" that tell me my body is "off" that probably are also affecting my weight. Still fitting in the same pants, but I agree with others, I can feel the 5 pounds in how they fit. Still weigh what I did in my early 20's at this point...fucusing on the positives of being more fit (which is also called into challenge mode with the peri-menopause stuff.)

Body seems to be settling into the next "cycle" so I am going to jump on trying once more to get back on the positive track.
