Friday Weekly Maintenance Weigh-In

Per Suzanna's suggestion I thought I would start a separate
thread for a weekly weigh-in while we are on maintenance.
Having a thread like this really seems to help!

Ive designated Friday as our weigh-in, but feel feel free to
post anytime!

Im 138 this morning, a few pounds up but well within my
range. I think I will keep working on getting it back down
to 136!

126.5 this morning. I like to be under 126 as I weigh myself in Stones and Pounds, English style. 126 is 9 stone and 125 is 8 stone 13 lbs, it is a huge mental boost for me to be in the 8 stone range.

You are going to see me there next week!!!!

Great to have this thread, thank you.

I weighed in at 139.0 this morning, which is within range, but at the top of my comfort zone. I have been eating at restaurants all week. I am going to eat clean this weekend and give myself a little more wiggle room.

Me too Suzanna, I was also at the top. I weighed in at 138, which is still way below
goal but I had hit 136 a month ago and would like to see that again! So my plan is to eliminate nuts for a week and only have fruit once per day. I think this week I had acorn squash twice and too many nuts.

What does your diet look like when you call is "clean"?

Bella ~ A clean day for me looks like Atkins induction. Here is what I am planning to eat today...

B: vegetable omelet with a little cheese
L: grilled chicken with big salad & full fat dressing
D: steak with green beans and a small salad

I cut out the no sugar added ice cream, fruits, and nuts that I usually eat most days.

Great job, Rebecca & Bella! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Well done ladies, I admit to weighing more often than once a week and 2 days ago it looked better than this morning.

However the truth is 126.25 lbs.

I don't think that a quarter of a pound means a thing, so it is really just the same as last week. I have worked out a lot and been very good, but next week is another week, here I come.

I weigh every morning and every evening (I cannot help it).
I report Friday's weight!

And...I agree with you, Cindy--a quarter pound is nothing.

Ive been doing well on my "no nuts, no almond butter" plan which I started today.
When I realized that I had eaten 250 calories yesterday of the above, then I realized
I needed to STEP AWAY FROM THE NUTS!!

I dont eat peanut butter, its on a permanent ban list! But almond butter was getting way
too much attention from me.

Today's weight 105 for me. Just about right.

Challenging myself to cut splenda use in half in the coming week. Maybe I'll cut my sweetfreeze by mixing up a half strenghth bottle with water. Just know its time to cut back. The scary reports are getting to me!

Great weight Loretta, how tall are you?

Hi and happy Friday everyone!!!

I'm 103 today, not too far outside my comfort zone.

We'll be away all next week, but I'll behave myself and report in next Friday.

Have a great week, gang!

Hi, everyone! Happy Friday

I have been out of town all week at a training class, but was able to make relatively healthy choices. I happily weighed in at 137.5 this morning.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

WOE: Atkins ~ Maintenance
For some reason, this week has been a very difficult week for me to maintain within my range. Something strange has been going on! I started TOM, sort of, on Tuesday, 2 weeks early, but just for 2 days?

On Tuesday, I weighed in at 143.0, which is a number that I haven't seen in a while. This morning, after 3 days of relatively clean eating (no LC ice cream, less cheese & smaller portions) I am back down to 139.5. It has been a battle all week & I know that it isn't over!

My plan for today is a big veggie omelet for breakfast, tuna salad on a bed of romaine & cucumber for lunch and grilled chicken and veggies for dinner. Hopefully this weekend, I can bring my weight back down to 137 or so, where I am most comfortable. We are going to a bbq tomorrow night and an Italian restaurant for an early birthday dinner with my family on Sunday. I am going to have to watch my choices a little more carefully than usual until I am feeling a little more stable with my weight!

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Sorry I didn't manage to weigh in or drop in yesterday, life took over!

This morning I weighed 125.5 Which is wonderful for me, under that 126, 9 stone mark! It is such a great psychological boost for me!

Sorry you had a tough week Suzanna, but you did really well to drop the weigh so quickly, great job everyone.
