Week 7 Weigh-in

So with the holiday weekend past -- who will be this week's inspiration?  Certainly not me!  Though I am using a new scale, so I am not sure of the accuracy, it is showig a 2 lbs. gain from last Monday.  I'll find out for sure on Wednesday when I am able to weigh in on the regular WW scale, but I'm thinking it can;t be too far off.

Remember that next week is the final weigh-in!  Have an awesome week this week and finish strong!!

I hope that everyone had a happy, healthy, and safe holiday weekend-- New Years is right around the corner!

Love,
Melissa

Um, I couldn't get to WI today!

So, I guess I'm not reporting for this week, since I don't know if I'll actually get to a meeting before Friday. I do plan on going before our final WI though! I promise.

I don't have a scale at home: on purpose. I was a scale fanatic in the past, and I find it's better for me to simply work the program in all aspects, then I'm ruled more by the 8HGs & staying w/in pts than I am by a number on the scale.

However, on days like today, I REALLY wish I had one at home. I'm guessing that I'm probably up, but I think that all the time, so I dunno. If I can make a drive tomorrow to a different meeting, I'll let you know the result. Otherwise, I'm SO sorry, Red Team, but I guess I'll have to pass this week. (WAH!)

Hope everyone had a nice holiday -- Ella

Ignore my post above. -2.4

DUH ME! I weighed in earlier this week (I seriously am beginning to believe someone gave me a lobotomy in my sleep.)

Results: -2.4 lbs this week, my weight is now 190.2. I don't know how much that is for the whole challenge. I hope you do (poor me -- the lobotomy is really affecting me!)

So, we have one more by next Monday, yes? Jan 1 is the "final day?" Maybe I can eek out a couple more ounces, but this has been an AWESOME challenge that really kept me on track through the holidays, a time when I ALWAYS have given up. It also carried me through twice as long as ever on a weight loss plan & got me under 200! THANK YOU EP BL LADIES! You have helped me achieve something I've NEVER been able to do before. YAY!

Hope everyone's holidaze were OK, and I hope we can all get back to normal life after the New Year. When's our next challenge gonna start? (I hereby offer to help or host if anyone needs a break.)

Hugs to all -- Ella

eeeked out a tiny loss.... down .2

Down to 215 even.  Hope to have a more focused week now that Christmas and most of the bad food are gone.

DH stole my scale

I don't know what to do, can I pass? Should I just give myself a gain because I know I did, just not how much? Melissa, whatcha think? (Other than DH needs to be dropkicked ROFL)

WI

I had managed to lose 2.9 lbs by 24th morning BUT the 2 days feasting have brought back 1.5 back...but i'm still 1.4 lbs less than last WI.

not good

253.4 (plus 1.4) i don't think its fat though.. its muscle and water... if that counts for anything :P

pregnant or not...

I am at 181.8...I think that is a 1 lb. gain.

Thanks for the prayers everyone!!

Woo HOOOO!

Well, a little stomach flu during the holidays helps keep the weight down a bit.  159.5.   Will try to keep the flu around a few days longer to help the red team! LOL!   This has been a great challenge.  Thanks for giving us a common goal.

I lost 2

I'm down from last week...238.

YAY!

I lost another 1.5 lbs.

I am now at 155...MY GOAL WEIGHT!!

Yippee! Go Blue!

Not I, said the mouse...

Yep, the same.  Which is a good thing considering all the yuck I consumed. But next Monday's weigh-in with be strong!!! I know it! I feel it!

It's the final push ladies! Make it a good one!!!!

My scale is dead...

But I weighed myself at my MIL and it said another gain. I am 175 up again...so sorry girls I tried to make the right choices but the holidays have been a nightmare with the eating, everything is fried or full of salt. Waaaa. Sorry to disappoint the blue team.

NO, NO, NO!

Well, it was less that 1/2 pound but it was still a gain!

It said, 219.8. I think I will perhaps do better. I have too. Even though I have now started my seasonal pt job once again, and againl all I do is sit! But at least I am not at home watching tv and munching. But it does cause me to go home at night and look fir things to eat before going to bed. I dont have time to cook. Guess I could stock up on frozen dinners. So we shall see! -J

again, no change

Sorry to report, there is no change for me.  I'm hoping for better next week.

WK 8?

Not sure if you're OK or just really busy. Hope you're just REALLY busy & otherwise all is well. I'm ready to post my final stats, but I didn't know if we got bumped to today (Tues) b/c yesterday was NY Day & lotsa centers were prolly closed.

Hope you're having a wonderful New Year -- I'm awake in the middle of the night craving a cigarette already...

WAH -- See you soon, I hope, Ella

Final weight - 178

Wasn't that great an overall loss and certainly not the 12 pounds I was hoping for, but I LOST over the holidays and that''s a BIG DEAL for me!!! Thanks for everything Melissa! I'm doing the DHNBC 07 & PO's BLC, so if you're starting up a new challenge, I am IN!!!!

If anyone wants to join my team on the Discovery Health National Body Challenge 2007, just contact me - I'll need your email address!

sooo sorry

I am sorry that this is sooo late... I was at my moms and she doens't have Internet! I am down 3.5 pounds.

hello

just stopping in to say hello.  i apologize for dropping out of the weight loss challenge a couple of months ago, i just had too much going on and needed a break.  i am glad to see that you are still doing well.  keep up the great work.

FINAL WI -- more than double my goal!

Sorry, I dunno how often I'll be able to check back, so here's my stats:

START weight: 211.2
Goal: lose 11 lbs.
FINAL WEIGHT (as of Friday - couldn't WI Mon): 188.4
TOTAL loss = 22.8 lbs -- meaning I doubled my goal plus a bit. Not sure how, but miracles can happen, apparently.

NOW -- I need ANOTHER BL challenge ASAP, b/c I'm hitting self-sabotage like crazy.

I hope everyone else got as much inspiration & friendship from this challenge as me.
And GO RED TEAM for the final time

Be well -- Ella
