Okay, I'm going to stop weighing myself for a bit. My scale is completely confused, and says I gained 8lbs today.
I realized that were I had it sitting, the floor wasn't exactly even, which may have been part of my problem, but when i put it on level floor, I'm back in the 180's!!! Ugh. I know it's just a number and whether is says 170 or 180, I'm still the same size, but I can't help but be a little annoyed. I'm going to see how consistent it will be while weighing on the flat surface to see if that's my problem. Honestly, 180's would make more sense for the pant size I'm in and such, but those 160's were looking good.0 -
Good week ladies!! I'm hoping to just maintain for the next month since this time of year is hard to lose. So my goal is to maintain as best as possible. Also to hit the gym (free 7 day pass!! Woot Woot!) for the next few days and keep my water up. Here's to a fantastic new week everyone!!0

That sucks *kitten*!! I have done that many times! :grumble: Sorry Rach!
But thanks for doing all this work for us pin-ups! I really appreciate this group and you, even though I don't post very often.
It's still nice to be a part of something like this. I still can't believe I have lost 13.5 lbs since this group started. Amazing!
Congrats to all the girls who lost this week. And congrats to the ones who didn't. You ALL are doing a great job! :flowerforyou:
Have a good week!

Rach, I just made a post today about putting the scale away! I have been pretty disappointed in my weigh-ins this past week and I've decided I just can't let it rule my emotions anymore! I'm tired of it! So I told myself I'm not going to weigh in again this week until Friday.
You are right; they are just numbers. But if you are like me, you can see the differences when you look in the mirror and that's what we need to keep our main focus on. Numbers are just so addicting though haha.
Good luck this week everyone!0 -
Are you weighing at the same time of day each weigh in? I have been known to gain 5-8lbs from am to pm in a day, but by the next morning I am down again.
I have intensionally gone 30 days without weighing because it was stressing me out. I don't blame you for that. I would just make sure you are weighing at the same time and drinking LOTS of water. ALSO, if you had a large amount of sodium within 24hrs before without exercise to flush it, you may be holding onto water. Best of luck. Don't stress! :-D You are doing great!0 -
sorry i didn't weigh in yesterday, my internet was down (again!). I'm 136.6 this week.0
-
Didn't gain, didn't lose. Still 135.8 lbs.
ah well, I'll just try harder this week! Congrats to all that lost, and if you didn't, then don't worry! There's always next week! X 0 -
Great job last week everyone!!!
Again, I have no goals... well I would like to make it through this week sane. I am leaving for holidays next tuesday, and I am not sure how I am going to fit everything in!
Hope everyone has a great week!!0 -
I'm sorry Rach! I know how frustrating that is. For the most part everyone did very well, Congrats to everyone!!!
I love being able to see this chart, it is great! Thanks so much Rach for what you do!0 -
Mine is doing the same thing, Rach. Maybe we have the same type of scale. It says I've gained like 7lbs since yesterday. When I know I burned 1400 calories. But apparently that's out of whack.
Oh and if you have to edit the thing for anything, my weigh was only a .4 increase instead of 2lbs. Sorry. If not then it's cool, I don't mind.
Going to the doctor today for a check up. Maybe she can help me out with this weight loss thing and get some of my anxiety situated. The thing is I'm anxious about going to the doctor. Ugh.0 -

I'll update it.
Yea I was thinking about possibly needing to get my thyroid rechecked, since it was so up and down about 2 yrs ago.0 -
Ok, so I didn’t have the opportunity to post my weight in yesterday, but I lost!
LW 151.6
CW 150.2
I’m surprised I did because this past weekend was bad, but I guess all the hard work I’ve been putting into it the past couple weeks made sure that a small slip up didn’t stop my weight loss. I am back on track this week, I was under goal by 30cals yesterday and went to the gym last night. I plan on going to my Tae box class tonight!0 -
Hey girls! A good way to check your scale is to set a dumbell on it and see what it says. Luckily, I have a manually adjusted analog scale so I just makes sure it is at 0 and in the same place on my floor everytime I weigh myself .
My goal for this week is to not gain. :laugh:0 -
Good job everyone! Loss or not it is a hard time of year with all the decadence surrounding us.
I am going to just try my best through the next couple of weeks and get workouts it when I can.
You can't get where your are going if you give up!

It's just funny because physically I didn't gain 8lbs in a day, but I'm still allowing myself to act like I did. It has me second guessing the weight I HAVE lost, and looking at myself in the mirror saying, well maybe I've been tricking myself into seeing changes in my body that aren't there.
Can someone help me turn off my mind?? :huh:0 -
I've been trying to figure out how to do that for MONTHS. No luck yet.It's just funny because physically I didn't gain 8lbs in a day, but I'm still allowing myself to act like I did.

bloody double post.0

bloody double post.
I think I'm going to put the scale away until we hit 20weeks here, and start Round 3. I need to focus on my goals and why I'm doing this again. Just do the best I can each day.0 -
Oh I weigh myself with a dumbell and then weigh myself because my scale has a memory function that is super annoying.0
-
I have a challenging week coming up with a holiday work party (mexican food) and nyc (carmines delicious italian!) anybody else wanna challenge themselves with me to not weigh yourself until next monday? It might do us some good
Sometimes it feels better to see a bigger number on monday... than little changes all week!
Keep up the good work ladies!0 -

RACHEL!!!! Look at your comparison photos!! you look AMAZING!!!! Of course you didn't gain 8lbs in a day. Stupid scales!!0 -
I feel the same way! Like I know I haven't gained 7lbs over the weekend but I still feel like crap about it! We need to start a support group: "People who let their scales make them feel like ****" Lol.
Doctor went okay. Got some new meds. Pristiq for anxiety/depression and to help me lose weight and some pain meds for when I get migraines. I usually have two or three terrible ones a month and have been known to end up at the hospital for them due to dehydration. Hoping that the new ones work. She said if anything she can give me a mood stabilizer with the Pristiq if I start to feel crazy. I also have to start checking my blood sugar. Not being I'm diabetic but because I'm so severely hypoglycemic. My blood sugar in her office was 46, yikes. So new test strips for my old meter. Woo.
I also went ahead and got my flu shot, tetanus shot and blood work done. Now both of my arms are sore. I'm really tired and feeling a bit weak. But I'm still going to do my 30 minutes of jogging/running. Trying to make myself feel like I'm doing something positive towards this weight loss goal.

I've fallen and I can't get up....stupid holidays.....0

I was out of town in Las Vegas over the weekend...so I didn't want to weigh-in right away after eating all those buffets. I had a nightmare about gaining five pounds last night - so I had to check today! I'm down 3 pounds!
167 pounds for me.0 -
Grabs Katie's hand and pulls her back up!
You are not alone chiquita! We all stumble and fall but as long as we get back up and keep trying that is the main thing.
It sure is the time of year that puts our willpower and strength to the test! If we don't indulge a little or have a drink or a taste well for me I know that it will lead to an all out binge!
We can do this, we've all come to far on this journey to turn back!
*hugs*

I have resorted to doing lunges and squats on my bathroom breaks at work. No time for exercise at the end of the day. I'm so miserably tired....
BLAH!
