Most excellent, Kat!
And the weigh-in says…another 2 pounds gone! I can’t remember the last time I weighed this little! Woohooo!
Most excellent, Kat!
And the weigh-in says…another 2 pounds gone! I can’t remember the last time I weighed this little! Woohooo!
It occurred to me, and I confirmed it with a little math…I’m halfway toward my goal weight!
Wow.
Weighed myself this morning and I’ve put on a little which is odd as I’ve exercised my arse off this week as well as made sure I’ve eaten all my points during the day (as well as some of my bonus points, but not all of them) AND drunk lots of water.
I’ll probably lose it again next week straight away, as is the way with these things.
Weighed myself this morning and I’ve lost my usual Sunday morning 3 pounds. Normally I would weight myself again on Tuesday only to find I’ve gained the 3 pounds back, but I’ve made the resolution that I will weigh myself only on Sundays!
Looks like I was right about the water retention, 'cos to my great surprise I’ve just weighed in at 201, down six pounds from last week (sic), 42½ on the year, and 87 since starting out.
I haven’t been fasting either - indeed, we had a nice barbecue this afternoon, or at least what we call a barbecue, cooking things outside over charcoal (I think Southern USians would consider it justified to shoot me for abusing the term like that) and while I didn’t pig out, I did have a quarter-pound burger, a sausage (Brit style banger weighing 2oz), a soft bread roll and some new potatoes plus plenty of salad. A little more walking this week, not quite up to the heights of 5 miles a day every day I was managing for a while earlier on, but still a good hour and a quarter or more today.
All’s right with the world.
Maybe put on a little muscle mass and lost some fat to compensate? You can end up a pound or two more and still have burned more calories in fat than it took to build the muscle - I didn’t understand it until I did the math, but I think it works out.
Bear in mind you don’t need lots of water. Stay hydrated by all means but that thing about eight glasses of water a day is a crock, although it’s not likely to hurt you either.
Yays for Ivy and Kat and all!
Forgot to weigh myself yesterday, and this evening I was down around 269, wow wow and yay again! I have been fairly good - walked around 12 miles just yesterday and today as far as I make it, and although I had a few treats at an after-work get-together Friday afternoon and writer’s club yesterday, I haven’t felt like eating that much at home considering the heat.
Did my weekly “official” weighing this morning. 177.2. Enough that I’m encouraged to keep at it.
I’m still stuck trying to crack 94kg. The weekend did not help - a BBQ with friends on Friday, Nandos and a movie on Saturday, and just when I though I could recover on Sunday with a light salad for dinner, we got free roast dinners at the pub after my wife was called in to help out.
So I went for a 4.5 mile run in the evening. I was pretty chuffed, then did the math and realised that while the distance was fine, the pace was not much more than a walking pace
:smack:
So more effort at the gym this week. I am still losing inches. My 17 y.o. daughter came home from a shopping trip with a pair of trousers that she approved of for me. I looked at them and said “36 inches - too small.”
But they weren’t. Well cool. And my wife has been … appreciative … of the new improved bodyshape
Si
That’s fun too…Ivylad has noticed, and I’ve been more in the mood to make him notice, if you get my drift.
Yeah, I was feeling pretty hot on Saturday. I finally got to wear that dress I bought a few weeks ago (size medium, remember?). Then after the wedding we went to a surprise birthday party for a friend. I just changed into jeans and a cute shirt quick before we went, but boy, did I get a lot of compliments! Several people told me how thin I looked. So that felt great. Of course, after a night of drinking I ate all kinds of bad yesterday so today I’m up a pound. But I’ll take 166, considering that I’d been at 165 for several days. I think five more pounds and I’m going to go into maintenance mode for a while. I know I can’t go at this rate of exercise forever, and it’s especially hard in the summer. I’m also tired of buying new pants and then having them not fit a month or two later. I can just be a nice size 10 for a while!
I have… An Accomplishment, which I must share, because I feel awesome. I fit into my Skinny Jeans! That’s right - those jeans I bought that I didn’t try on that turned out to be too small even though they were the right number size, that I couldn’t even pull up all the way, much less button.
They fit! Hallelujah, praise my increasingly-smaller ass! I’m holding pretty steady in the low 160s - up 2 or 3, back down 2 or 3, still not making it down into the 150s yet. Just added an hour’s worth of Wii Fit free step into my daily routine, so we’ll see if that cracks the plateau.
Congrats, folks, on your successes - this thread is really inspiring, overall, and it’s awesome to have somewhere to come and brag to!
Sweet and major congrats! I’ll never fit my skinny jeans again since I don’t need to be that small. But I’ll be bouncing off the walls when I fit my SO’s regular jeans again.
Thanks! Good luck with your jeans-theft goal - it sounds like a good one. Robin will probably get really annoyed when I get closer to my end goal weight, because I’ll start stealing back all the clothes I gave him because “I’ll never be that thin again sob”
Oh, and have I mentioned that Weight Watchers sundaes are simply amazing? They’re only 3 points and absolutely delicious.
Well done!
My weekly weigh in is 175.4, down 1.8 pounds from last week!
204, up three from last week - which means I’m back where I was three weeks ago. Still six pounds less than I was six weeks ago, nine pounds less than nine weeks ago, and I have some hope that a little of this is, once again, water weight after a few drinks last night at a party. At which a number of people who haven’t seen me for a while were suitably astonished at how much less of me there is now than last time they saw me.
Excellent job! Keep up the good work!
I’m a bit nervous about next Sunday’s weigh-in…I’m not going to be able to hit the gym this week due to my surgery recovery. In fact, I’m being thoroughly lazy. I did take a 10 minute walk around the neighborhood today. I am continuing to track my good and I’m hoping I’ll at least maintain.
Congratulations to both of you! Sounds like awesome progress. As they say, slow and steady is the way to go.
Me, I’m still trying to crack 160. Hasn’t happened yet. It will, it will… I just have to keep working and keep a tight rein on my portion control. It never occurred to me just how much people really do eat until I started looking at what a “serving size” is, and now… oh my god. Did I ever really eat that much at once? Yoy. Doesn’t stop me from craving a big bowl of something, or a heaping plateful of something else, though - I may have to go buy smaller bowls and plates.
