Friday Weekly Maintenance Weigh-In - Page 5

Prairieprof · 01-28-2008, 11:20 AM

Not Friday, but this morning I finally got back to 118.2, the weight I remember before leaving for the holidays -- I've been stuck in the 119-120 range (and stressing about it -- although the stress itself seems to keep the weight on!). TOM approaching so it probably won't last ....

Kissa · 01-28-2008, 02:02 PM

131.5!

Heck I am not surprised, I know well enough by now when I am pushing the limits.

All I can say in my defence is that at least I have been exercising and eating LC. Just way too much of everything.

Prairieprof · 02-01-2008, 09:56 AM

117 the last couple of days, woohoo!

BellaHMB · 02-01-2008, 10:49 AM

Need to watch my carbs....was up this morning to 136.

Bella

Kissa · 02-02-2008, 06:59 AM

130 yesterday morning, better than last week!

BellaHMB · 02-02-2008, 08:50 AM

Good job Kissa, Im following in your footsteps! I lowered my carbs to 20 yesterday.

Bella

Loretta V · 02-03-2008, 10:03 AM

Good job, seconded, Kissa.
Bella you are doing a great job with your maintaining.

Weighed in at 120.5 this am.

The last time I saw that weight was April 09, 2006.

I am obsessed with charts. Surely I can reach that 120 soon.

BellaHMB · 02-03-2008, 10:31 AM

Well Im trying but it isnt so easy!
Bella

BellaHMB · 02-08-2008, 09:56 AM

136 this morning. Im maintaining ok, but not able to stay at my low of 131 without alot of effort. I have to remind myself that my original goal was 150! And that I have been at this weight within a few pounds since August so Im doing ok!

Bella

Prairieprof · 02-08-2008, 02:40 PM

117.2 this morning, after having been up to 120 for TOM and possibly the after-effects of some Super Bowl indulgence last weekend. (I forgot to think about the likely carbs in the coating of yummy wasabi peanuts that were served, and when I looked it up after the fact, yikes!).

Kissa · 02-09-2008, 12:01 PM

Oh dear, 132 again, no one's fault but my own, even exercise can't deal with plain overeating!

Good work, Bella and Prairieprof.

Loretta V · 02-10-2008, 06:14 PM

Let me join you all

Weight this am was 122. Dang, I thought I was onto something

Back to the drawing board.

BellaHMB · 02-15-2008, 11:16 AM

I was at 137 this morning, so I am trending "up" a bit. Guess I need to pare down some!

Bella

Prairieprof · 02-15-2008, 12:21 PM

117.8 today. Not bad, given that it's been a stressful week, and I've noticed that stress/sleep affects my weight; I've also been a bit constipated!

Loretta V · 02-17-2008, 04:39 PM

Nice picture, Prairie. You are looking great. Sure hate to see you stressing about that extra pound or two, but I have a tendency to do that also. I have been up to 4 pounds over my goal for a while. But am taking action to get back to the goal. Taking it slow to be sure I can do something I can live with.

121 today. I am happy with that.

Prairieprof · 02-17-2008, 09:50 PM

Thanks Loretta! This is actually a picture of me "before" -- but one where I look quite thin anyway (I've always had long skinny arms ... they're actually getting more muscular since I've been doing more strength training!). I don't have any recent pictures of me; maybe I'll get one when I visit family at the end of the month.

Yes, I seem to be anxious about every little blip, as if I'll wake up one morning and find the weight loss vanished, or find myself unable to control it due to my hypothyroidism. But I think I'm getting less crazed as time passes. Haven't yet been able to break myself of weighing virtually every day, though, even though I keep the scale in the cold, cold basement, not a place a sane person wants to get nekkid in the morning!

SuSUN · 02-20-2008, 05:56 PM

Hi Bella, Loretta and All,

Thought I'd pop in to see you gals again.

122# this morning...I am okay with that.

Looks like everyone is just doing terrific!

Susan

BellaHMB · 02-22-2008, 10:58 AM

Nice to see you Susan!

We are doing the best we can! Im at 136.

Bella

Loretta V · 02-24-2008, 11:47 AM

Weighing in today at 121.5. I'll keep that.

The avitar is my oldest DS's home that he is rehabbing. He sure is putting his all into this older home and it shows.

Prairieprof · 02-24-2008, 01:52 PM

Bouncing around in the 117-lower 118 range. I guess that's what maintenance is: some days up, some days down, it evens out. But I'm happier on the "down" mornings!

BellaHMB · 02-29-2008, 09:48 AM

Me too, happier on the down mornings

Today was 137, a bit up again but I am watching it!

Bella

Prairieprof · 02-29-2008, 10:29 AM

Holding steady (117.6) despite an insane amount of stress at work! Visiting relatives in Florida this weekend, I'm going to make a real effort not to slip.

Loretta V · 02-29-2008, 11:16 AM

Keep up the good work gals. Fine job by the both of you.

I'll check back on Sunday, my weigh in day.

Kissa · 03-01-2008, 03:32 PM

Better this week, 129.

Loretta V · 03-02-2008, 01:57 PM

Kissa Good for you!!! Under 130!!!!

121.5 this week, maintaining.

Kissa · 03-03-2008, 09:21 AM

I love low carb living, it just works for me.

BellaHMB · 03-07-2008, 10:20 AM

135, AOK

Bella

Loretta V · 03-09-2008, 10:53 AM

122 this week.

Will be curtailing my activity for while. I will not be able to leave DH now, seems his cancer is worsening and he is confused. Hospice will be helping me care for him. Maybe after we get a schedule I can walk while they bathe him.

Kissa · 03-09-2008, 12:27 PM

Loretta, my thoughts are with you at his painful time.

Prairieprof · 03-14-2008, 08:59 AM

Loretta, I'm so sorry to hear about that. Take care.
