I lost the .6 pounds that I was up last week. I am again at the point of having lost 35 pounds.
Yay for jayjay and SuperVenusFreak! Keeping my fingers crossed for Gingy.
I met my goal this week of going to the gym three times. It’ll be more of a challenge next week, as I have some medical testing on Monday, a Drs appt. on Tuesday, a parent/teacher conference on Wednesday. . .But I’m gonna do it anyway!
175.5 this morning!
Checking in… I lost 10 pounds. I was 170 on Jan. 2 and am 160 Feb. 2. Been 160 for a couple days now.
The best part? I’m actually down enough to wear my wedding rings again. I was about 165 when we married, but have seen 228 since. It was bliss to not only be able to get them on, but to not have to worry about the possibility of cutting them back off. They’ve been on for days now, and it’s good.
In other weight news, I’ve lost 3 inches off my waist and 2 off my hip. The toning workouts are rearranging me. Clothes fit better and I’m feeling better.
I’ve got another 10 to go before I do a 'reassessment". If I break 160, it will be a record for me. I haven’t seen the 150’s in over 10 years. I’ve also started wearing the smallest size clothes I own. (my closet is huge and contains size 14s through 22s) If this continues, I might have to go shopping. Boo Hoo! 
Boggette, that is fantastic news. I’m so glad to hear it, and I’m so proud of you! See what a little perserverance can do? Yay you!
Yay, Gingy! Yay, Boggette!
Okay everybody… it’s Monday, my first weigh-in day.
I’m on the Core plan and didn’t believe it could work. I haven’t been HUNGRY all week…
I’ve lost weight. I have a crummy analog scale and the pound marks are really close together, so I might be at 179 or I might be at 178… but I’m DEFINITELY below 180.
WAHOO!
180/179/150
Woo hoo! Told you! 
I, however, am still stuck at 140. I dipped down to 138 before the holidays, but gained a few pounds during all the travelling & festivities.
On the bright side, I’ve been keeping up with exercising, so I am seeing changes in my body. I actually noticed some vague definition in my stomach over the weekend. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that before, so I’m not too discouraged with the non-loss. I am at the high end of a healthy weight for my height, so I know it’s going to be slow at this point.
Way to go Sattua! I glad that you are beginning to realize that you can really do it!
Well, I’ve been remiss in posting–it’s been three weeks since the last one.
Last weigh in on 1/15/07: 281.6
This morning: 275.6
Three week loss: 6 lbs.
Total loss (7 wks): 25.4 lbs.
301/275.6/140
What’s really great is that I haven’t had to be 100% stuck to the plan. I’ve had two children’s birthday dinners, a couple of Saturday night “dinner and a movie” events, and even eaten from the Pizza Hut buffet a time or two (thin crust only!). Maybe it means that I’m not losing as fast as I might, but I’m much more able to stay focused and on track this way.
I haven’t dropped a size just yet, but I was having to squeeze into the clothes I had–now they really fit and are starting to get a little big on me! Yay!! 
Let’s hang in there, everyone! It’ll be SO worth it!
I know, isn’t it insane, what you can eat occasionally if you behave yourself most of the time? This week, I had chocolate cake and ice cream. I had wine.
Something else–when you’re counting Points for it, it tastes soooo much better than when it’s free.
This morning I weighed in at 218.0, meaning that I’m finally back where I was December 1st.
I’ll step up. My goal is to get into in a shape other than round.
I’d like to lose 20+ kilograms but that may not be practical. A decision may have to be made once I’ve lost 15 kilos to see if it is worth it.
Greenback:
Male
1.76 meters
113.5 kilograms
My method:
I have a gym membership and am going twice a day. I eat healthy but too much so I will be making a conscious effort to not have second helpings.
It really makes you think about what’s really worth the points too. Some stuff I just haven’t eaten, and have very little desire to eat anymore, because it’s just not worth it.
But I can still drink wine. I could have a glass every night if I wanted, and still have points left over for other treats.
Ok, it’s been a while since I posted in one of the weight-loss threads (either November or December, I forget) but I’ve been sticking with my plan and things are going very well. I have my next official weigh-in with the doctor on Wednesday and I’m hoping to reach the 45 lb mark by then. Right now I’ve lost 42.5 total, 12.5 since my last visit with her (which will be 3 weeks on Wed).
You may recall I’m taking Topamax (100 mg daily) and it’s still effective. No bad side effects. The only noticeable side-effect is about once or twice a day I might have a word-retrieval issue, and carbonated beverages are undrinkable, but I consider the latter a benefit.
I’m about 5 lbs away from breaking one of the 100 lb markers on my way down…
I’ve been on the Topamax for 13 weeks, but have only been dieting for 10.
BTW, I am now 100% Fast-Food Free!!! When I started, about 90% of my meals during the week were eaten out of the home, nearly all of those at some sort of fast food establishment. I have completely eliminated all Fast Food from my diet. I do some cooking from scratch, but most of my meals are what I call “boxed” dinners - Weight Watchers, Lean Cusine, Healthy Choice, Stouffers, etc…
Holy crow, everyone is doing so well. Stick to it! I am still below that stupid 177 mark, but today is a higher-than-normal day for me, points-wise (I’ve switched to the Wendie plan, which varies the amount you eat each day, a proven plateau-breaker). Let’s hope it’s still down there tomorrow or Wednesday morning. I’m not fussy on my actual weigh-in, so long as it’s one of those two days.
176 this morning.
Yay Ginger! 176 = good, right?
I was down to 174 last week but then I got sick. Haven’t walked in almost a week and have done nothing but lay on the couch and watch TV and eat too much so today I’m back up to 176.5 and I still feel crappy.
Hubby and I can’t remember if it’s “starve a cold, feed a fever” or “feed a cold, starve a fever” but whichever it is I seem to be in feeding mode. I’ve got the non-stop munchies. Probably mostly due to boredom. I really need to dig into a good novel to take my mind off the fact that I feel like crap.
I have to get better by tomorrow as my band has three gigs this week and I’m expected to sing, and not in baritone. la, la, la, :cough: :hack: La!
Way to go! Hope that means that the plateau is broken.
I hope so, too. I was down to 175.5 one day this week, but I’ll take 176. I’ve switched to Wendie (varying amount eaten each day) and it seems to be doing the trick.
