Wednesday Weigh In

TwoHobbies

Congratulations, Liefie.  How wonderful!  I will weigh in tomorrow too.   My excuse is far more boring and no joy involved.  I'm in such a rush Wednesday mornings due to my work schedule that I frequently forget to weigh. 

Wow it seems everyone is doing good this week.  I hope I'll be in the same boat but I'm kind of expecting to be approximately the same as last week.  We'll see.

Liefie, that's the best excuse ever and becoming a grandmother is the best thing ever! Congratulations! I have six grandchildren, the oldest graduates from high school this year and the youngest is just 4 months old.

Liefie, we do want you to post a weight: the weight of the new baby (also the sex, name, how much hair etc. etc.). How exciting!

Here goes. Emily-Anne was born at 5.51 pm this afternoon, she weighs in at 6 lbs 9 oz, 20 inches long. Mom and baby both well. SIL texted 3 photos, but she is so swaddled that you can't really see anything. My DD looks so content with the baby, and SIL has a very big smile. This was such a good day.

Congratulations Liefie.  What a perfect weigh in day.

Babies are the best! 

I weighed exactly the same as last week but I'm happy as It is 1 lb lower than that damn plateau I was on. So glad I kept it off.

A friend just posted this on facebook. This is the "diet plan" I try to follow at least 90% of the time.

Congratulations Liefie!

Congratulations Liefie! How long before you get to see her in person?

Congratulations on the 6lbs 9oz weight gain!

liefie

To all of you, thanks so much for the good wishes. It is a special time for me.

Ruthbru - LOL! That's a very good gain indeed!

Annie, I'm going there tomorrow, and will be staying for a while. They went home this morning already. Had a haircut and pedicure this morning so Grandma will be presentable when she meets little Em. Also acquired a few pink outfits - oh, this feels sooo good!

Liefie, I knew a grandmother who waited until she was watching the baby alone. Then she put all the little outfits on her and took photos.

liefie

Wren, what a good idea! I will remember that. Thanks!

Wren, that grandma story is so funny!  Thanks for the chuckle.

Congrats, Liefie!

Same as last week.

Marple

132.8 which is the same as last week.

Up 1 to 165 - not sure why, I watched what I ate for the most part, and started increasing exercise.  Just one of those little anomalies I guess.  So I weigh exactly the same as New Years Day, which means I would need to lose 7 lbs to get back to my pre Thanksgiving weight.  Sigh, big sigh.  Got to keep at it, hopefully I can post a loss next week.

AnnieLane

Up half a pound, but still below 120, so I'm on track for my goal for the first quarter of 2014.

When I weighed in at WW meeting on Mon., I was down 4 lbs for the week.  From 168 to 164.  This morning I'm 163.5.  I've been tracking my points conscientiously.

One very satisfying low-point meal, breakfast or lunch, is 1/2 c Greek yogurt, 2 T of Quaker's Natural granola, and fresh strawberries, which are from FL or CA and are delicious.  This costs me only 2 pts and I really enjoy it.  The yogurt is nonfat plain with some splenda added.  It's so good I could actually eat it without the sweetener.

Saturday is my birthday and I'm going out to lunch on Friday and out to dinner on Saturday so I don't expect weight loss when I weigh in on Mon.

Same.

Wren44

Down .5 to 131. Still hoping for some 2s.

ruthbru

bad.....my birthday was Monday and I have been celebrating since last Friday; I have company tonight & tomorrow night & then I have to be DONE!

TwoHobbies

I am up .4 lb.  I haven't been overeating but I did have more carbs than I normally do,  ie Pesto Pasta on Monday.  It was good but it never agrees with me weight-wise. 

Wren44

Ruth, Happy Birthday. A week's celebration is appropriate.

Marple

Happy (belated) birthday Ruth.  If you are still celebrating perhaps it's not all that belated.  Enjoy.

ruthbru

Thanks!

ok ladies- I'm back in the game! Thanks for letting me join:)

I started weight watchers this week, down 2 lbs-- as great as that is, I know it's the easy stuff that comes off first.. My goal is 20 lbs. 18 more to go!!!!!

TwoHobbies

Swimmom, you take credit for that two lbs and be proud of yourself.  That's a good start. 

Dulci posted the crap diet.  I think I've discovered a simple diet too.  The "no added sugar" diet.  This will keep you on a whole food diet because in addition to eliminating muffins, pies, cookies, cake, ice cream, you also can't eat packaged bread, crackers, cereal, or pancakes either.  If I can stick to it, I'm sure I'll drop a pound or two next Wednesday! 

Wren44

Two, Don't forget ketchup. Has a tsp of sugar per tablespoon of ketchup. Who knew?

TwoHobbies

Wren, the list is endless isn't it?  I never cared for ketchup but barbecue sauce falls in that category as do other marinades and many salad dressings.
