Accountability.....

Who's looking for a little more accountability?!

Well, I know that I sure as hell am because girls..... I NEED it!

I weigh in on Wednesdays. You didn't see an update in my feed because MFP is kind enough not to say "MeAfter30 gained all her weight back, she sucks!" LOL!

So here's what I am thinking... a weekly weigh in for any of our babystep ladies who'd like a little more accountability. I am not sure how we'd do it as I know everyone weighs in on different days. Perhaps have a weekly weigh in thread where everyone posts how they did.... good or bad!

What do you all think?!

    sounds good. I don't weigh every week because some weeks I just don't feel like it. I get discouraged and down when I don't lose, Especially when I am doing everything right and there is no loss. These last 25 pounds have been a beast, But when I do weigh I will definitely check in good or bad.

    Great! Yeah lets just post our results here. :)
  • I weigh in on Wednesdays also. This week I am down one pound. My scale does weigh to the tenth of a pound but I don't add that on I only count mine when they are whole pounds.

    :grumble: Okaaay, count me in to :-(. (in a sad voice) Good or bad, I will spill the beans, but I don't have a particular weigh in day. I weigh myself everyday but I will begin to use Fridays as my weigh in day because that is considered my Sunday. So I will begin my week on Saturday knowing what it is I have to do to push myself for the week so the numbers will look good and I can actually get this weight off my butt.

    Today is my weigh in day.... haven't done the deed yet. I am dreading it, because this started out a good week and ended up just sad really. But I feel recommitted today! So I will report back, but I am sure I am looking at a maintain if I am lucky and and a gain if not. :(

    How is everyone else doing?!

    I maintained! I am happy that I didn't gain. This week I vow to stick with it. Well for that matter for the next three weeks, I plan to really focus on my diet!
  • I maintained the exact same weight as last week although it is possible I weigh less since I usually weigh in the buff on the way to shower, today I am cold and lazy so I weighed in light clothes.. This is my first week not losing since mid summer.

    I started losing weighing in at 240 and now weigh 215. I joined here weighing 222, registered the day I saw a blurb about it on the FitBit site.
  • I weighed in today. Day after Halloween and while TOM is visiting for the first time since getting pregnant in March 2011. I was happy and very surprised to see i was down 3.5 pounds. For a total of 15.5 pounds in 3 weeks. I wasn't expecting much this week with two big weeks of loss and halloween, my sisters baby shower and my TOM visiting for the first time after so long. I have to give the credit to the water i am drinking and my new thyroid medication levels. I steered clear of Halloween candy yesterday but I did enjoy a candy apple. I figured it was partially healthy considering it contained an apple. It was very yummy. lol

    Great, i also maintained but i was expecting that to happen as it's been slow and steady for me for a while now before joining MFP.

    Excellent! Tis time of year i think can be rough, i hope to make it through with some losses but will be happy to maintain. Not that the kids Halloween candy doesn't call to me.

    Yeah, I am lucky. My little guy is only 11 months old so he isn't eating candy and we don't get trick or treaters so I just didn't buy any. We did take my son to a few houses just because it is his first halloween but my husband took the candy and put it in his work vehicle so it wasnt in the house. I did get a candy apple and enjoyed it immensly. lol. I have a huge sweet tooth so if it is in the house i will eat it. The challenge will be christmas. I love christmas baking. I fiqure i will just try and maintain over christmas. Stupid holidays! lol

    That's great! I hope to join you at some point in 2013.
  • Down a pound for the week. Yay!
  • Down a pound for the week. Yay!

    Yay! Great work!

    I am down 2 pounds this week for a total of 17.5 pounds.
  • Up a pound, no big surprise. My food choices this week have leaned far from ideal.
  • Down 3 pounds this week for a total of 21 pounds. Start christmas baking this week. I added each recipe to my recipe file and only sampled two cookies. One after each night of baking. Last year i would have eaten half a dozen each night. lol. It was a nice treat though.
  • Down three pounds. Not sure if anyone is still in on checking in but there it is, according to the scale at my sis-in-law's apartment.
  • Well Done! Yay for a great loss. Keep up the great work.
  • Down one more pound. Not through much effort other than eating within calories. Exercise consisted of sneezing a lot and blowing my nose a lot. Lol
  • Lol, Well done Roboartist!! I needed that laugh tonight. I return to work Monday and am feeling very sad today at the thought of leaving my sweet boy with someone else. On a happier note I hope you feel better now or if not now, soon. Well done on the one pound loss.

    My week last week was disappointing. i only lost half a pound. This week made up for it. I am down 4 pounds. It might have to do with the sick feeling in my stomach at all times at the thought of leaving my little boy. But great for the waist line. I also am finding my clothes are getting very baggy. What am i to wear to work now? lol Guess i get to go shopping soon.

    In two hours my sweet boy will be One! Just had to share!

    p.s. I think you and I are the only ones that check this anymore :(

    It does appear to be so. I keep checking in, figuring people have busy loves and will come around when they are ready.
