HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!!

I am so glad we have a few members, hopefully we will get some more to join :flowerforyou:

So, before I start with my stats, I just wanted to get us started...I'm hoping we'll be able to follow something like this on Mondays:

Let's start with how much of a weight loss (or gain, eeek!:angry: ) there was for the week, maybe a little blurb about how your week went, why you think you met/didn't meet your goal, etc. And then this should always be there as a little reminder...

SW (Starting Weight)
CW (Current Weight)
GW (Goal Weight)
NWGW (Next Week Goal Weight)


So, here is what I'm looking like this week!

I lost 2.2 lbs this week! At first, when I saw the number, I was a tad disappointed. I worked very hard this week! But then I remembered that, 2.2 lbs is better than 2 lbs, is better than 1.5, is better than 1, better than none, and a whole lot better than gaining any! So I put myself into perspective pretty quickly. I worked out everyday at the gym this week, with the exception of Wednesday and Sunday. I pushed myself on Saturday, but know that I can push harder.
My biggest "issue" is a little candy dish on my coworkers desk that has all my favorite little chocolates, so I know that's something that needs to be monitored more closely. But, overall I am happy with my loss and hoping for a 3.4 loss next week!

SW: 342
CW: 333.4
GW: 195
NWGW: 330

Can't wait to hear from everyone!!!

Make it a great Monday, guys!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

:heart: Rachel

    I just joined as well, will post next Monday :)
  • started on friday and guestimated my weight as 200lbs. Have pretty much stuck to diet and went to the gym today :D
    weighed myself there and was 203lbs :( So a tad extra than I thought I had to lose.

    so I'll just say SW and CW are the same- 203lbs
    GW- approx 110lb. I'm very overweight for my 5ft 1 frame :(

    Well done on the weight loss btw! Very impressive

    I took yesterday 'off' from posting (not from logging) but I posted a 1.5 lb gain for the week.

    I, of course, am blaming mutliple external sources and not my binge on Friday...into Saturday and most of Sunday...


    This is a new week, and a fresh start.

    have a good week everybody!

    Thanks for the encouragement :) even though it's not as healthy as 2lb per week i'm hoping for more like 3 pound a week so hopefully by monday I'll be 200lb...
    We'll get there in the end if we keep trying :)

    Yes, I'm going to quote myself.

    I've posted somewhere else that I take a mid-week weigh in to sorta track how I'm doing. I'm wondering if I'm unwittingly sabotaging myself?

    Monday 225.7
    Thursday 224

    I'm wearing just about the same clothes today that I wore on Monday...oh well..on to monday now!

    I have always been told that weighing yourself on the same day only once a week (preferably in the morning) will give you the most accurate results. Your weight ca fluctuate a lot during the week depending on water weight, etc. See if you can stick to once a week and maybe you won't be sabotaging yourself anymore! :tongue: See you on Monday!!

    Perhaps.

    For the last month I've weighed myself 2x a week, but only recorded monday.

    I'm using the thursday weigh in to try to keep me on the straight and narrow over the weekend.

    Ahhh, I understand. The weekends are always the toughest!

    I just found this group, but I will continue to weigh in on Mondays. It's so encouraging to share this experience with all of you.

    SW: 235
    CW: 230 (as of Monday 3/3)

    Mondays Goal Weight: 228

    I would like to maintain about a 2-3lb. weight loss every week. My goal is to be under 200 lbs for my birthday on May 26. Wish me luck :)
