March 14th weigh-in, Happy Closer to Spring

[winewanderer]

Hi Everyone,

 

Since Belle is gone I'll start the thread.

 

I stayed the same. Bummed, seems I work hard at losing. Happy I lost 8 lbs. the last sveral weeks but want a few more. I cruise in 5 weeks.

 

Hope everyone else had success.

Good Morning - today I am down 0.6# ... which was what I was up last week ... which means I'm at the same weight I was the 28th of February ..... sigh ... I so wanted an actual loss this week.

 

I have 4 more weigh-in;s before our cruise and like you Diana would love a few more pounds off.

 

Hope everyone has a good week.  Jan

Hi Jan and Diana, I am also the same weight as I was last week. I am actually kind of bummed out as I felt like I had lost a few lbs, but hey the scale doesn't lie.  I am sailing on april 28th a week after Diana  so only 6 weeks left. Take care rob

[winewanderer]

Jan, glad you had a loss.

 

Rob, you and I stayed the same. Bummer when we feel like we worked so hard and lose nothing.

Hoping for some extra motivation this week, as temp are finally going in the right direction.. It's finally 50 degrees outside. Should be soon and all the snow will be melted from the yard.. Less than a week until spring...!! Take care all and have a good weekend...

HI all!

 

Late signing in as usual but nothing good to report! I was up 0.2 lbs & think I can blame it on chocolate eggs.

Thursday night I was really bad when I ate almost a whole bag of chips cooked in avocado oil sprinkled with sea salt, so yummy! Not even going to mention what that did to my weight Friday morning!!

 

 

Looks like a lot of us are cruising in April!! I'm on the Pearl TA April 28th.

Rob which cruise are you on on the same day please?

 

Hoping to be better behaved next week! Time is running out for losing a few pounds before my cruise!

Have a nice weekend.

I'm late to finding this group but looking for all the motivation I can get.  Since my last cruise a year ago I've lost 36 pounds.  But was hoping to get to 40 pounds before our cruise on 3/30.  I did lose one pound this week after being STUCK for a month.  Just sticking to my 16:8 intermittent fasting, no gluten, 1/2 ounce of water/pound/day and 10,000 steps.  I also do about 15 minutes of 5 lb weights 2-3 times a week.  During the cruise I plan to stick to the gluten free part, mostly, increase my steps to at least 15,000 a day and take the stairs.

Hi Woodside Lady, welcome you still have a few weeks to make your goal of 40lbs by your cruise. Sounds like you have been doing great so far. We usually start a new thread here every Thursday as that is usually our weigh in day... Hope you come back and share with us and have a great cruise. Take care Rob

Hey y'all! I'm fashionably late to the weigh in party, but I just found this board on CC, which is perfect timing because I need some accountability, haha. My next cruise isn't until mid July (congrats to all who have one earlier!). I teach, so my cruise schedule falls around my job. I could prattle on and on but I will try to stick to the facts.

 

Starting weight: 448 (January 16th, just realized it's been 3 months, whoop!)

Current Weight: 390

 

I had a 4lb loss this week, after being "stuck" for about a week or so!  I do 30-60 mins of cardio 3-5 times a week. but recently added in some strength training, and I think that's what helped get things moving on the scale. 

 

Congrats to all who had losses this week, no matter how small! As far as I'm concerned, as long as the scale is going down, or the clothes are getting looser, its a win in my book!

Hi Iteach2cruise, welcome and congratulations on your losses so far. I think the strength training will also build more momentum for your weight losses. Everyone does get into a lull period when doing just cardio, think the body kind of gets used to it and adjusts itself and its great to mix up your workouts to keep them fresh. I hope you come back often and also note that each week a new thread is started on Thursday as that is our weigh in day.. Share any thoughts or ideas about what your doing and eating any time as everyone has the same goal..Where are you cruising to? Take care Rob...

Welcome to Woodside Lady and ITeach. You both have done so well. Congrats!

 

Jo, sorry for the small gain but really small considering the chocolate eggs. Me.....I look at chocolate and gain 5 lbs..............

 

Seems like many of us are crusing in April and running out of time to lose. Let's keep at it.

 

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday. We are having nice weather, 72 today, 75 tomorrow. But, rain and cold returns Wednesday. Blah.

Hi everyone, down .8 since the last time. 

The weather here finally straightened up some and we spent yesterday afternoon outside playing with our grandson and made a bonfire last night.  We will be cruising Feb 9th, 2020 and I am so excited to get my weight back down where I feel comfortable again. And I have 2 weddings in the next year so I have lots of motivation to get moving.

HI all!

 

Welcome to the new folks.

Wow, some great losses!! Congrats!

 

Rob ~ looks like there will be 3 of us leaving at the same time on the 28th! I'm on the Pearl.

A CC friend was on the Escape that had the problem wind but on the same night he won $15K at the casino!!

 

DIana ~ I can't resist those little hollow chocolate eggs they have out well before Easter!

Having 2 lunches out this week so wonder how that'll show up on the scales!

 

See you all Thursdayish. BTW we have had signs of Spring here like Robins & Red Winged Blackbirds. Just wish we had the temps to match!🌷

 

~ Jo ~ 😊

[winewanderer]

Fischymom, good loss.

 

Jo, yes, hard to stay away from all the easter goodies. Hopefully the 2 lunches out won't be too bad. 

 

We had a nice day yesterday, 75 degrees. Hubby and I have lots of lettuce in our garden. 

 

Have a good day everyone.
