Friday Weekly Maintenance Weigh-In - Page 7

BellaHMB · 04-04-2008, 05:39 PM

LOL! My almost 26 year old son, Brendan. He is a starving artist and musician

Bella

Loretta V · 04-05-2008, 07:39 AM

Thanks Bella for explaining that haunting picture. Brendan sure has big beautiful eyes.
I like the picture. I thought that it was of was some budding movie star.

BellaHMB · 04-05-2008, 08:25 AM

Interesting you would say that Loretta as he is also an actor!

Bella

Loretta V · 04-06-2008, 08:50 AM

Weight today 122.

I'll take that since I am not out walking. I read and ride the stationary bike about an hour or more a day and continue on with my daily exercise workout.

Bella I like your new avitar too. IS that your kitchen or dining room?

BellaHMB · 04-06-2008, 09:07 AM

Actually its Il Fornaio restaurant where we had dinner last night with my son
and his gf!

Bella

Tecnokitty · 04-06-2008, 03:41 PM

I was 163 today. Was out in the back yard starting our veggie garden all day yesterday. I ate dinner very late for me but we were so busy. Had a busy day again today with work (I have a deadline on the studies I am working on right now on Monday), put up a fence around the new garden so the dog and the baby stay out of it, cleaned the house and missed lunch all together so I just had a sammy on Sherrie's bread w/ham, lettuce, mayo and thin sliced tomatoe. Making a roast right now for some meals in the week. No idea why but I am still hungry. I'll try and wait a little while and see.

You look great in your avi Bella and very happy

BellaHMB · 04-11-2008, 08:10 AM

Today I was 135, a bit up but still ok. Will continue to watch it.
How is everyone else doing??

Bella

Prairieprof · 04-11-2008, 05:43 PM

I'm away at a conference with no scale at hand, but I'm diligently keeping to plan despite the carb-laden breakfast buffet and the amazing array of bagels and muffins and brownies laid out for the coffee break! (And almost everyone eating that stuff looks slender, too, which makes it harder to resist.) I have had some really tasty meals, though; trying to hit restaurants we don't have in my town.

Tecnokitty · 04-11-2008, 08:45 PM

Weight is fine but my son turned 2 today and I made them a huge 3 tiered carrot cake w/butter cream icing and it has been calling to me all night. I ate a salad a couple minutes ago even though I never eat this late. I knew if I didn't have something that cake might find its way into my mouth...yikes!

Good for you Prairieprof on resisting all those goodies and hope you find some wonderful new restaurants

Loretta V · 04-12-2008, 09:12 AM

I was anxious to get over here today on the weekly weigh in thread to see how you gals are doing.

Congrats all around.

, Bella

Prarie

Techno

Cindy?? Maybe you are on your way back home this weekend.

Susun? Busy working too many hours.

Techno I love your avitar. You look marvelous darling. So tall and slender. Always wished I was a little taller instead of one of the Short People.

Will check in tomorrow with my weight. Been busy here with Dh and now have hospital bed for him. He is not able to walk much distance anymore and is in a lot more pain. On and off the bike when I get to it. Have moved our "living" area to our extra large bedroom. We are making it fine with the help of Hospice.

Loretta V · 04-13-2008, 09:04 AM

123 this morning. Eating off plan with company.

I have to blame someone.

Tecnokitty · 04-13-2008, 09:41 AM

Oh thank you Loretta!!

I hope you are enjoying your company! Glad you are making it with the help of hospice. That must be so difficult even with the help.

I'm so sorry he is in pain

Prairieprof · 04-15-2008, 06:33 AM

I'm back from my trip and 117.0 this morning -- I didn't gain at all! And that weight was *with* scarfing down some peanut butter right before bed, which generally puts me up.

BellaHMB · 04-18-2008, 09:09 AM

Same a week later. 135. Maintaining! How is everyone else doing??

Bella

Tecnokitty · 04-18-2008, 09:33 AM

I'm up a couple lbs but that is normal since TOM showed up yesterday so it'll prob be up for a couple days.

Prairieprof · 04-19-2008, 06:26 AM

Holding steady at 117.0!

Loretta V · 04-20-2008, 12:40 PM

Good job all of you. Techno, it is one of the nicest things about aging, no more TOM. Don't miss it at all, but I have nothing to blame for my moods or weight gain.

122 this morning. I'm happy with that. Maintaining.

Tecnokitty · 04-20-2008, 03:39 PM

My son just turned 2 Loretta and we are not having any more kids so I would be SOOO HAPPY to be done with TOM si for sure! My Mom hasn't gotten rid of hers yet tho so I have a long time to wait I think.

Gratz to you all for maintaining!

Prairieprof · 04-25-2008, 06:27 AM

Well, Friday's here! My town didn't wash away in our huge thunderstorms last night.

117.8 this morning. I've been mostly around 119 all week, but I think it's hormonal water retention. Still frustrating! I've dropped my carbs by about 10g (around 55-60 to around 45) to see if that helps.

BellaHMB · 04-25-2008, 08:39 AM

135 this morning.... I am usually nervous about my Friday weigh ins but they always
seem to be about the same!
Bella

Loretta V · 04-26-2008, 09:12 AM

Congrats Bella and Prarie. Maintaining is a GOOD thing.

BBT with my results.

Tecnokitty · 04-26-2008, 12:03 PM

Yeay Bella and Prarie! Hope you are doing well Loretta!

I've been very up and down on the scale lately. Not completely sure why. Maybe stress cause we've been dealing with some financial things lately. I haven't been eating bad but maybe a little too much cheese. Def have had nothing off plan. But up and down 5 lbs each day is weird. Hopefully this week is a bit more back to normal.

Loretta V · 04-27-2008, 09:44 AM

Weight today is 122. I'll take that. Stepping on that scale is really sort of an anxiety thing. WHAT WILL THAT NUMBER BE????

Techno, maybe you could try weighing in once a week instead of every day for a while. Just to take your mind off of the fluctuations. For the most part, I think that they are normal as long as you don't stay too long on the plus side.

Tecnokitty · 04-28-2008, 08:58 AM

Hi Loretta, I wish I could weigh in only once a week but if I stop weighing I start gaining. It keeps me honest with what i am eating. I'm also just starting back to maint so I'm still figuring out what my limits are and what is too much legal stuff. I don't mind a couple lbs up and down but 5 is not normal for me. I'm sure I'll figure it out! It's been over 2 years since I've been in maint so it's a learning process all over again. Gratz on staying at 122! 7 years in maint is such a GREAT achievement!!!!!!!

Prairieprof · 05-02-2008, 07:35 AM

Hi everybody. I'm 116.8 this morning.

And I have a cold again, for the second time in a month or so -- feh!! (I'm hoping nobody [especially my rather skeptical, retired-physician parents] thinks I'm "run down" because of my diet and weight loss; I can't imagine that would be it!)

BellaHMB · 05-02-2008, 09:00 AM

I was at 137 this morning, up a bit but I actually ate 2 pizza tops last night
with my salad! Not something I often do....

Bella

Prairieprof · 05-02-2008, 11:54 AM

Good attitude, Bella. Are pizza tops the toppings off of pizza? I find myself thinking of that from time to time but I used to love pizza crust (I'd eat the edge pieces others left behind!) so I don't trust myself to go near any!

BellaHMB · 05-02-2008, 05:39 PM

Yes, exactly. Im very careful to scrape the tops off only which in this case was cheese, mushrooms and pepperoni. Not good for losing but seemed ok for an occasional maintenance food.

Bella

Loretta V · 05-04-2008, 09:02 AM

Prariie sorry to hear that you have had another cold. I might say what you parents said also. Hope you can get some health back on board so you can resist those germs.

Golly Bella, two whole pizza tops. Maybe you just ate the toppings off of 2 pieces.

Weight 120 today.

My DH passed away last Wednesday and have been busy with funeral and family. He had 6 children and 3 step children, and many, many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
It was a mixed blesssing for him to die, he suffered so much.

I might say what you parents said also. Hope you can get some health back on board so you can resist those germs. Golly Bella, two whole pizza tops. Maybe you just ate the toppings off of 2 pieces. Weight 120 today. My DH passed away last Wednesday and have been busy with funeral and family. He had 6 children and 3 step children, and many, many grandchildren and great grandchildren. It was a mixed blesssing for him to die, he suffered so much.
