Weekly Weigh In

Moesten · February 2011

Hello hello! It's weigh in time.

How did you do this week?

I can't think of a QOTW. I tried to give it some thought during my meeting but I find my meeting so uninspiring that I came up blank. So just share whatever you'd like and let's offer each other some support!

Moesten · February 2011

I'm down 1.8 this week which is fine by me. I am *this close* to hitting my 10% lost and had really hoped I was going to get there this week but no. At least it gives me a goal for next week.

I am still struggling like mad in the motivation department. I used to focus on the fact that I was putting good things into my body and that was sufficient. But it's just not getting there for me right now. I don't really give a d@mn about putting good things in my body at the moment. But I keep chugging along. I have been much better about calculating points and tracking my food. I have always found that tracking is key for my success. So I will keep plodding along and keep aiming for the 1.4 I need to lose to get to my 10% next week.

I am up a couple lbs this week. I have been stress eating bc my grandpa is in Hospice.

mrs.george2be04 · February 2011

I'm down .8, 26lbs total. I honestly thought I lost more this week, but with this half marathon training I am hungry all.the.time. I am not going to meet my mini goal I set for my birthday, and I'm trying not to let it get me down. I am back in my original scrub pants (had to go up a size when I gained all this weight), and they are fitting perfectly so I'm pretty stoked about that.

Good luck to everyone!!

I'm so far off the bandwagon, I can't even see its taillights anymore. Not kidding. It's been like this since the switch to the new points calculation for WW.

I think I'm mad that I have to recalculate points for all of my favorite, go-to foods. And it's not that that's hard, I'm not really sure what my problem is.

As a family, we are not eating badly, but we are not eating to lose weight (DH and I are on this so-called "journey" together).

I don't even know what to call on for motivation. I can't stand pictures of myself, I don't like to look at myself in the mirror, and I don't want to be a "fat" mom who can't keep up with her kids...........but nothing is working for me right now.

This has been me recently - to the letter. I don't know if it's the weather, the new points system or what. But I have been struggling with these exact same feelings. I wish I had a great suggestion for you to help you with the motivation. I guess all I keep telling myself is if I stay with it, it will work. And I keep thinking about how depressed and self-loathing I will be in the Spring and Summer if I don't do anything now. So there are my words of wisdom - stick with it now so you don't hate yourself more later. How's that for motivational speaking? :P

Blame the weather. That's what I've been doing. I think I have SAD.

Funny you bring this up, because again we have parallel thoughts. I absolutely cannot wait for spring to get here, but I don't want to go through another summer with a gigantic a$$ and thighs that rub. Yet I plod on as if winter will never end (because it seems like it most days!).

Here's my tip for those of you needing motivation: Go bridesmaid dress shopping with your MIL and your stick of a SIL. Have your MIL take pictures. Then have her send those pictures to you, the bride and your other SIL, whose measurements for her dress came in somewhere between a zero and a 4. Bonus points if you get an awesome picture of the back of the dress clamped together tight enough to give you back fat where you had none previously. Then have the bride send the pictures to all her OOT bridesmaids to show them the dress she chose.

Clearly I am back on WW hard-core. I skipped my weigh-in last week, but this week I was down 6.5 lbs. for the past two weeks! Woohoo! When I need motivation, I just look at that photo. Maybe I should put it on the fridge.

I made this cake the other day. It was only 4 points per serving (not bad for chocolate cake), and it was good. DH loved it. He ate three pieces. Luckily for him, he is not on WW.

shyntrue · February 2011

I'm down 2.2 this week. Of course today I am sick and feel like eating the whole house...

It is hard to keep motivated when it is so cold out. Good luck with the coming week ladies!!

Are you guys inside of my head?! I feel the same way. I hate feeling like "the fat mom" when I'm around all these other ladies that are back to their pre-pregnancy weights and bodies a few months after delivery. I don't remember what my pre-pregnancy body looks like (and I don't want to remember - that will depress me even more!). I gained .2 lbs last week, which is really just a drop in the bucket, but I haven't had a significant loss since before the holidays. Every day is a struggle, and here's my confession: I didn't convert to the new WW plan. I'm scared to switch to something new when I know the old plan has been effective for me in the past. So, I'm sticking with the old one until I get up the nerve to stay for a meeting and learn about the new program.

KristenBtobe · February 2011

Down .8 this week, almost 10 pounds total. I'm hoping to get back to a gym routine soon, I think I need it. My motivation is to look good in a bathing suit by our Disney trip in May.

I am sorry you had to endure this but it had me laughing hard! But it is so true that trying on clothes is definitely a way to keep you on the straight and narrow.

Aimlc1281 · February 2011

I'm down 1.2 lbs for a total of 9.8. I would have done better if we could stop having all these snow days. I do so much better monitoring my food when I'm out of the house and don't have all the food staring at me.

brittanyandcj · February 2011

I'm feeling the exact same way as the rest of you. I'm doing a hell of a job maintaining, but I just can't lose anything. I'm getting so frustrated. I actually just sent an e-mail to my old WW leader before I came on TB because I'm so frustrated. I'm having a bad day in general. One of my favorite coworkers retired today. He's staying on part time, but we had his farewell party today complete with cake and Servatii's pretzel. I had to eat something so I pulled the meat off of a little piece and just had the cheese and pretzel and then a piece of cake. This is the first dairy and garbage food I've had in about two weeks and I feel like hell now. And on top of that, I spent most of the day crying. I feel like a big baby, but where I work is so small, you get close to the people you work with and this hit me really hard. I did well and didn't cry until my dang boss came over to give me a hug and ask what we were going to do without coworker? And then I sobbed for most of the day. Sad

I was counting calories but I'm considering going back to the old method of WW. I lost consistently on WW. If I had a gain, I deserved it because I ate too much and I knew I ate too much. I'm doing the exact same thing workout-wise this time around and my weight is not budging and I'm miserable. The only thing I can think of is maybe I'm not eating enough. I don't even know but I've just about had it. Sorry for being whiny. I'm cranky today.

megntom07 · February 2011

I'm not weighing in yet, but thought I'd let you know I'll be joining you ladies next week. Why next week you ask?! Well I'm totally taking advantage until my post partum check up next Wed. and eating/drinking whatever I want until she gives me the ok to start working out again. Once I get the ok, it's on like donkey kong! We are going to the beach for vaca and I would like to be the beach babe and not the beached whale!

Meg41208 · February 2011

I haven't weighed in this week. The past couple of weeks have been tough. First I was sick and out of town for work (didn't lose or gain), then this past week we were traveling/OOT for my grandfather's funeral. I'm going to skip the scale this week.
