10% in 3 months

[Sea Hag]

I joined biggestloser.com last Friday, so I'm tracking from there. So far, so good. Don't know what the scale's going to say on Friday. (Yes, yes. I know. It doesn't say anything; you have to look at it. But I can hear it whispering nasty comments to me as I go by. :p )

 

I think the 10% challenge is a really good idea!

[Tisty1982]

How is biggestloser.com? I LOVE the show and have thought about joining their group but didn't know if it was worth it or not. How much does it cost?

[Sea Hag]

Hi Tisty1982,

 

I actually lied to you folks. It's biggestloserclub.com that you sign up with.

 

I signed up for three months, with an upfront payment of $59 and some cents. By doing that, I'm getting a free cookbook or some such. You can also sign up month to month at $19.95.

 

I think it's pretty good. You fill out a profile and the system offers you menus and excercise based on that. There're strengthening and aerobic exercises, and you can pick what you like - or what you can do. I'm an odd case since I can hike 8 or 10 miles, but I'm the very lowest, bottom of the barrel on the strengthening excercises. I'm working on those, and think they'll do me good.

 

They've got a lot of good info and advice there too. Tips from my favorite - Bob! I love the show too, but I think I'd do pretty bad if I were in Gillian's group. Beatings! Beatings! Beatings! :p :( :p

[sam73]

Hi everyone. Well i am still the same. I have stayed the same weight for the last 3 weeks. I am very frusterated, but iam going to keep on trying. Something has got to give soon.

[Sea Hag]

I've lost and regained weight a few times, and one thing I've noticed is that sometimes a person has "sticking points." If you weighed a certain weight for considerable time in the past, you may be more likely to "stick" there for a while. Once you get past that, your loss should get moving again.

 

Keep up the good work, and don't get discouraged!

[carnival pirate]

I lost a pound! Although I wanted to lose more, I'm happy with a pound. The lower I get the slower it comes off, so I can deal with this.

Good Morning All!

 

Way to go pirate! I'm with you, each pound lost is fantastic! Shiela you really are doing great and I have been inspired by you. Nothing throws you off you just keep at it despite being on a plateau. Hang in there! You will start heading downward soon!

 

I haven't been able to get in the exercise I wanted to this week but I'm doing better with my diet so I hope that leads to some loss of the weight I gained on my cruise. Small changes do lead to positive results right???

 

Well I'm off. I hope that everyone has a terrific day!!

 

:) Cherie

[NMCruzzin]

Hey there Kiddos!

Well my company has left - we've had a bunch for the last 2.5 weeks! I went through the kitchen and fridge and there was so much of the bad "this n that" and it went down the sink or out the door! I struggle with temptations as it is:eek: - I don't need it on the counter calling my name! :o I didn't even weigh myself this week - but am using these days to get back on track and we'll see what kind of mood I'm in on Monday!! LOL!! :D

Sheila - Girl!! You have so much going for you - running a marathon!! If your body is taking a bit of a break - don't be so hard on your self! I bet your right around the corner from the weight loss whoosh....it'll happen - keep focused! Your such an inspriation to all of us!

Pirate!! - Great for you! A pound is a pound and if it's gone - cheer!!! :D

Cherie - hang in there! Getting back on track after a Cruise, YOU'll do it!

Everyone Else - Hang in there - Keep Focused - Take it a meal at a time if you have too - Be sure to update your stats!!

[momonmeds]

Good morning everyone!

 

Jean, I know how it is with company, you feel like you have to entertain, and all the good stuff goes out the window. Good for you for throwing it out! I can't stand temptation either, if it's in the house I'll eat it;)

 

Cherie, here's fingers crossed for a loss for you.

 

Pirate, yay for you!!

 

Sheila, I am feeling for you girl! You are so close to your goal, keep at it!

 

I have fought with the same pound for the past 4 weeks. Lose it, gain it, lose it, gain it... Well today was a gain it:( . I'm dissappointed but not discouraged. In previous times, this is about where I would stop trying at all. You know, "If I'm eating well and not losing, I may as well eat whatever I want." Yeah, I know, bad logic. Anyway, I have had some good things this week. I had a really crappy day Wednesday, and what I really wanted to do was get a giant bacon cheeseburger, cheese fries, and huge chocolate oreo shake, but I didn't!! I stuck to my plan, and I'm really proud of myself. I am an emotional eater, bored, sad, happy, worried, nervous, whatever, I eat, but not this time!! Instead, I went and sat in the freezing rain to watch my son play his last football game of the year. The things parents do for their kids... Also, according to my scale my body fat has gone down as well as my metabolic age, and that one has NEVER changed before. So overall, I wish I could lose more, but I'm still motivated to keep going. I think what SeaHag wrote is true about sticking points. This is my lowest in a long time, and this is the weight I got to before and couldn't get below it. I'm still plugging away though, and that has to count for something right?

 

Anyway, sorry for rambling on... Make it a great day!!

Carnivalpirate - congrats on that 1 pound loss.

 

Sam73 - I agree with SeaHag - I've head that so many times from various leaders about your body reaching a set point & staying there for awhile but all of a sudden it starts going down again.

 

Beth - congrats on not giving in on Wednesday - you've got a great attitude.

 

I weighed in this morning for the first time since I joined you guys and got my biggest loss so far in my latest WW attempt.. I was down 3.6 pounds. Thanks for the incentive to keep drinking the water and journaling.

Good Morning Everyone!

 

Gail, Great Going, you are really moving now! Congrats!!

 

Jean, it sure is tough when you have company but I know you will get back on track. Onward and Downward!

 

Beth, darn it I hate it when that one pound sneaks back on, next week it'll be gone plus more! Keep at it, you are on the right track and thinking positive. You go girl!

 

At weigh in today I did lose the one pound I had gained last week but no more. I'm sure that is from the lack of exercise during the week. That piece of berry pie I ate last night didn't help either! Well today is a new day and I've refocused and I'm going to make the next week a good one. Everyone is doing so well either with their losses or staying focused despite their plateaus, you are all an inspiration to me.

 

Have a great weekend!

:) Cherie

Hi All, I weighed in this morning and lost 1#. A little discouraging since my diet change was quite drastic, cut all sugars and starches waaaay back, so after 3 weeks I was hoping for a little more than a 5# total loss. Granted I had surgery on my knee two weeks ago, but I am up and around and doing physical therapy 3x aweek. But I'll hang in there, like some the rest of have said at least it's a lb less, not more. Thanks to all of you I'm not alone on this roller coaster ride. Have a great weekend everyone.

was down .2 this week. I'm happy with it, because it came the week after a huge loss (5 lbs), so it is good to just keep the ball rolling in the right direction. Have a great weekend!

 

By the way - collectively, we have lost 170 lbs!!

Hi all,

 

First weigh in at biggestloserclub.com, and I've lost 2.3%! Wish I could do that every week, but I know better than to expect that.

 

Looking at the posts since I visited last, I see all you guys are doing really great. Sticking with the plan and moving ahead. Can't beat that!

[sam73]

Thank you everyone for the encouragement. This week has been a very stressful week. 2.5 months ago i decided to close my salon and rent a space at a bigger salon. Well yesterday was my first day at the new place. All week i have been moving stuff. i have stuck to my eating program, problem is yesterday i went the whole day with out eating. I never do that. I was just so busy with clients, plus getting used to the new place, which is huge compared to my 350 ft. salon. I was tempted to eat bad when i went home but i didnt. Hopefully today i will remember to eat. Wow i have never been a person who forgets to eat:D Well i have rambled on eneough. Maybe once iam settled and less stressed my body will start to lose again.

[Annie3468]

Good Morning Losers!

I have been soooo busy with the 5oth Anniversary plans this week; I am afraid that I haven't been careful with my WOE. I just grabbed what I could, however, I didn't have time to grab much, so I hope I at least didn't gain anymore:eek: We spent yesterday at the church getting the reception hall decorated and today I will be decorating the cake(yikes) and getting the chocolate fountain prepard (such profanity in the AM) The reception is tomorrow after morning services. My parents will re-new their vows.....so sweet!

After tomorrow, I plan to get back on track at least until next week-end; we are going to east Tennessee for three days,but no reason to not eat well. We have three relaxing days to take our time and plan good meals. Lots of hiking and shopping should help....wish me luck.

 

Pirate- Welcome and congrats on your first week loss!

 

Sheila, Cinnamon, Jean, Diane, RB,Sam, I hope I didn't forget anyone- I am glad to see that ya'll are still hanging in there and having success!

RB- you will be on your 3rd 10% before you know it.

 

I am starting over with a 10% goal by January 20th...... RB, is that permited? I don't really remember the rules from when this started.

 

Ya'll have a good week!

 

Annie:)

[skertso]

Annie~WOW you are really on the go. Congrats to your parents! and to you as you seem to be pulling together quite a bash! I hope that everything goes smoothly for you all tomorrow. :D

 

Sheila~hang in there! I know the kind of move you made can be quite stressful but you will come through with flying colors. No doubt great! Don't forget to eat though, you'll need the energy! ;)

 

Diane, RB and Sea...way to go on your losses! You all keep heading down & more DOWN. That's terrific! Keep up the good work :)

 

I'm off to paint baseboard at my daugher's new home. :eek: I hope that everyone has a fantastic weekend!

 

:) Cherie

[momonmeds]

Gail, Diane, RB, & Sea Hag, good job on your losses. Isn't it great to be a loser? :D

 

Annie & Sheila, hang in there! Life happens!! It's amazing to me that you are even thinking about woe with all that is going on. The fact that you are still concerned and working on it speaks volumes to your committment. Good for you! Things will get better.

 

Hope everyone has a great weekend! We are supposed to get snow, :eek: so I think I'm going to make a big pot of soup and hole up.

 

Make it a good one!:)

Annie - have a wonderful day tomorrow!!!

 

I don't see why you can't start over w/ the 10% if you want - but are you sure you don't want to finish the 10% you already started first?? You're about 40% of the way there, and it really doesn't matter how long you take so long as you keep trending in the right direction.

 

We were in Eastern TN this past summer - let me know if you'd like any tips. We stayed in Seveirville and spent considerable time in Gaitlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Loved the Smokeys!

[Sea Hag]

Hope everyone has a great weekend! We are supposed to get snow, :eek: so I think I'm going to make a big pot of soup and hole up.

 

Snow! Good grief. Well, it sounds like you have a good plan to deal with it. Holing up with a big pot of soup sounds like the best thing to do.

[swansonia]

I made the 10% Goal!!!! Weigh-in this morning got me there exactly!!! Took me slightly over 3 months, but close enough to make me happy. :D Overall weigh-loss is 16% ( had previosly lost some weight). I still have a long way to reach my final goal, but breaking into these smaller increments should help me stay focused....

Congratulations! That's a great milestone. :)

[momonmeds]

Way to go! That's awesome!!

[RB Bonzo]

Congratulations, Swansonia!!! Losing 10% is quite an accomplishment - and you should be honored to be the first one to make it. I like the red-ink, too!!! Hopefully, soon, the page will be full of red.

 

If you'd like, add another line right below your old one to start your next 10% - which I hope comes off just as quickly as the last 10%!

[NMCruzzin]

YEA!!!! KAREN!!! Wooo HOOO! YOU ARE SUCH A LOOSER!!:D :D :D

Soooo Glad for you and here's to you reaching your next 10%!!
