Barb: Have a great time in Dallas. And congrats on being down a pound!! I feel the same way when I lose a bit less than I normally do, but
as you said, it DID take a while to go on so taking it off will take time also. And less is less no matter what!!
Ari and Emily: Welcome to the Skinny Island bunch! If you need help, youve come to the right place. Were a good group
so glad to have you along for the ride!
Amanda: Congrats on the 1.2 pound loss. I know what you mean about feeling lazy for tracking. I tracked for a few weeks there (on here that is) but then I gave it up. Im doing it with ww online already and I just cant be bothered to re-input it all over here. I too indulged a bit this week (although I DID have a tiny bit of junk food that I bought specifically) and man, did I feel sick after having it. I guess once you establish a pattern of good habits, its harder to return to the old ones. Isnt that a nice thought??
Heather: All right!! You are that much closer to goal for that wonderful cruise you are planning!! Great job!! I havent exercised much lately either and I just feel so DARN guilty about it. I just finished lunch so Im going to wait an hour or so and then force myself to put in the time. The Wii Active challenge sounds like a great idea!
Tricia: Sorry to hear about your stressful week but Im glad you grandma was found. Good job on the weight loss though. I hope this week is less stressful for you.
Allison: That cake sounds intriguing. Cant wait for the pics. Sounds like you had a busy and (mostly) fun weekend.
Way to go Patrick!! You are just killin the weight loss!! Keep it up!! Were so proud of you!
Michelle: I think its great that you could maintain without tracking. I think you are doing awesome and look forward to hearing next weeks weigh in after tracking once again this week!
Personal Update: Went out and bought a new scale today. The old one had been giving DH and myself problems intermittently, and then fairly regularly and the extremely regularly and finally this morning when it told me I was WAAAAAY up, when I KNEW I wasn't...Id had enough!! I reweighed myself again on that same scale and got what I think was a more accurate weight just before replacing it but the new one is a weight watchers one and Im excited to begin using it.
Anyway, with the old scale data, I am down
1.8 this week!! Im not disappointed (that weigh in was a relief after first stepping on the scale and seeing such a LARGE number that I wasn't expecting) but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't hope to lose in the two pound range for a few weeks more before slowing down. My exercise last week was practically non-existent though, so Im hoping that is a factor and Ill see a difference this coming week with the reintroduction of activity into my routine.
I have now crossed into the zone where I begin to notice the weight loss affecting my shape...particularly my mid section. The next 30 pounds to come off should be quite exciting...I can't wait!!
Looking forward to hearing weight loss reports from more of us...
