Weekly Weigh In

I know I keep posting these on different days of the week, it's to keep you on your toes. Actually it's because I am frazzled but am doing my best to make sure we have one posted each week. The day won't be consistent until I find a new meeting but at least we have a weigh in each week, right?

How was your week?

QOTW: It's a holiday weekend! Does this pose a weight loss challenge for you or are you prepared and have your willpower all reinforced and ready to go?

Re: Weekly Weigh In

  • Down a pound.

    Fourth of July isn't, traditionally, a foodie holiday for me like Christmas and Thanksgiving are. We do have some events this weekend but I have planned ahead for dinner out with friends on Friday. For Saturday we are heading to friends' house and she assures me it's all going to be WW-friendly. So I am optimistic I can eat reasonably well this weekend.

    Good luck to everyone!

  • I haven't weighed in lately, and maybe I should be.  Holy cow, I think since my last check in I've gained 5 lbs.  I have no clue how.  I've actually been more active, eating out less, and since it's hot out I tend to not eat as much. It is so frustrating.  I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and my dress looked good on me about 5 lbs ago but I'm not going to buy another one.  I'm just so frustrated that I was nearly 8 lbs. lighter than I am now the day I came home with Cameron.  Sorry to ramble, I'm just really frustrated and I can't seem to control things.  I'm just going to have to be disciplined and really start tracking what I eat.  That is what worked for me before and that is what I need to do again. 

    The holiday isn't a food based one for us either so it shouldn't be too hard.

    I do have maybe a topic question for next time:  We're going on a family vacation in two weeks for a week.  My family is all about eating when we get together and I really don't want to pack on the pounds then.  Any suggestions for how to not do so?  I'm afraid of snacking and since the kids going are super picky eaters, I already know most of the stuff is going to be bad stuff.  How do you all control your eating habits on vacays or with family?

    Go me. 

    I'm so aggravated!  I've been gaining and losing these same stupid 2 pounds for 4 weeks now... AHHH!  Not doing anything different... I guess this is a plateau or something?

    I dunno.  Switching it up this week though, new workout plan (stepping up cardio a bit and adding addt'l strength) and doing points differently.  Going to spread them evenly through the week instead of having a 'splurge' day like I had been.  Also working on increasing protein, feel like I haven't been getting enough.

    Hopefully those changes will get me back on track.

  • Can I join the weekly weigh-in?

    I just started this week, so I will say that I haven't lost anything yet. Exercise-wise I've done the elliptical for 30 minutes everyday since Monday (including today). I REALLY have to work on my food, because that's what's going to hurt me!

    This weekend we're having some family over on Saturday evening, and then possibly more family (in-laws) on Sunday. I'm really hoping to keep it simple with the food. I was thinking of doing shish-ka-bobs(sp?) because I can do chicken and veggies and that's not so bad:) I'm hoping that I'll be so busy with making sure everyone else is okay, that I won't overdo it. I'm also going to workout each day and that always helps me to not overeat.

  • I have got to get back on the wagon. Where are you guys when I am eating chips?
  • I'm down about 1.5 lb, but I have been incredibly sick all week and barely able to eat thanks to my sore throat.  Not exactly how I planned to lose the weight this week.  I haven't logged my meals at all this week either so I'll need to get back on track with that too next week when hopefully I am better. 

    We have a cookout to go to this weekend and normally I just try to watch portions and be good the rest of the weekend, but since I can still only eat really really soft foods it's not going to be much of a problem this year.  Kind of disappointing too since we look forward to this cookout every year.
