Sunday Weigh In - August 25, 2013

[Barb135]

Good morning everyone.... how are we all doing this morning?

I'm doing pretty good and have had an "alright" week, though I'm forced to claim a 2 pound gain for this week.  I'm not happy about it, but...  Today, is my and my husband's 46th anniversary, so we went to the local Brazilian Steakhouse for lunch on Friday.  Yummy.. but I'm paying for it. Also, yesterday I got hungry for some potato salad, so I made a small bowl, that turned out to be more than I thought it was going to be.  Of course, being hungry for it, I ate more than I should have.  Also, between the Brazilian steakhouse and the mayo in the potato salad, there was way too much salt, so I have the added "benefit" of fluid retention, as well.

On top of all this, I did nothing for exercise, other than mow the lawn on Wed, which, admittedly, takes a lot of energy, because I use a push mower.  It just doesn't work to only exercise one day/week.

So - there's my week.  How has everyone else been doing?  Did you meet your goals for the week?  If so, congratulations; if not, is there some way we can help you achieve them this week?  We're into a brand new week, so we get a "do over".....

Remember:  we win by losing - weight...

Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week.

Congratulations to both of you on your losses.  

Thanks kitten for the anniversary congrats...You're right; this is a new week and we all need to stay strong.  Sounds like you have your goal strong in your mind and continue to work toward it.

Nicole - I'm happy you checked in to let us know that your pregnancy is going well.  Do you have your doctor's blessing to continue losing weight while pregnant?

I'm happy to say that today, I'm back to where I was last week and if I were weighing in, today, I'd get to take a 2 lb loss.

Totally agree about not getting discouraged; we have to be as kind to ourselves as we are to others.

Hi! I wanted to check back in with everyone since its been awhile. My pregnancy is progressing nicely. I'm 17 weeks and have lost a total of 22 lbs between eating healthy and the dreaded morning sickness. Hoping to only gain for the baby and take it right off afterward. I hope everyone is reaching their goals, stay strong and don't get discouraged if you have a bad day or week, it takes longer to take it off than it does to put it one I think! Stay strong!

Congratulations on your anniversary Barbara! How lovely :) this week is a new week so we all need to start strong and finish strong. I weighed in at 223 so I had a two pound weight loss. I started a new job and school so all the commuting helped I think. My goal is to continue and my short term goal is to get to 210! I as well need to actually get out and excercise.

Wishing you all the best! :)
