*Snowflakes to Sunshine Challenge* Weigh-In #9 2/25/11

So I had a great week....hit the 10lb mark....and had several people ask me if I was losing weight. They commented that I look thinner. Little by little. This year I am the tortoise vs the hare. I will get to the finish line in my own plodding way.

I am up one pound this week!! - so I am currently at 249. I knew this week was a tough one only because too much sodium and not enough water!!! - Next week will be WAY better!!!

Ok so this is weird...hopped on the scale this morning at 7 and I was 214.4 and then just 10 minutes ago after seeing if it was calibrated correctly and I was 212.8 Which don't get me wrong I would be ok with because it would only be a .4 gain from last week but hmmmmm. I am going to weigh in tomorrow morning again and see what it says..tricky tricky scale

If you have an unopened gallon of milke or water weigh it to see. It should weigh 7 lbs.

It became a joke in my house, specially in the beginning. I would weight in before and after the shower and scale would show 1lbs different. 1lbs less after shower :laugh: believe me I wasn't that dirty and it was never water eliminated during the shower. We still cannot explain why happened :laugh:

Anyway, I've lost 2.2lbs this week. I really didn;t think I was going to lose this much although I played more tennis this week than weeks before, because I got sick with a respiratory infection. Antibiotics, lots and lots of fluid and forcing myself to eat at least close to the calorie goal (1350 cal/day)

But since I did, and i'm constantly losing an average of 2lbs/week, I'm aiming to be in the 179's next week. I want out of the 180's :laugh:

Good luck to all this week and God, let us be the biggest losers :flowerforyou:

Yeah, weigh yourself again, check if the scale is sitting level on the ground and maybe put in a fresh set of batteries.

Me, I LOVE fluctuations... when they fluctuate down!

LW: 184.5
CW: 180.5

(Both are rounded *up* to the next half pound - the actual scale readings were 184.2 and 180.4, but I count the .5 ones for consistency with my old scale.)

The week started with a banquet on Friday night. The next day I was 2 lbs down and joked it would go up again. On Saturday we had a huge pancake breakfast -- I ate 4 pancakes. Nope, the scales steadily headed downwards. I *did* work out at the gym again ... on Wednesday, when I was already at 181(*), so that wasn't it. I never went over my calories though and did a good bit of walking. Maybe it's my new Alaskan more active lifestyle kicking in. Still, I'm MAYBE eating/exercising for a 2 lb loss, and not 4.

OTOH, it's my period in a week, so I won't be disappointed about a fluctuation in the other direction and just keep on what I'm doing.


(*) I have been weighing and graphing daily since the beginning of the year. It's not for everyone, but it works for me right now.

Down 1 lb! Very happy with it considering February has been very very slow! This 1 lb brings my weight loss for this month is 3.3 lbs!!! My manta right now is " inches, inches, inches".

I impressed by this group, you are all doing so well. Keep up the dedication!
