Wednesday Weigh In

Up one. :-(

But I've been riding the bike 10 miles nearly every day. Today i did 16. I've upped the tension this week too, so hopefully things will kick in soon. I'm finally starting to feel more like myself....6 weeks post BMX.

liefie - I started taking a B-complex supplement - it's a liquid that you put under your tongue for 30 seconds before you swallow it. I think it's helping my energy levels, and my MO says it can help with joint pain as well.

Dulcigirl - great work! Forget the scale for now...you are doing wonderful things for your body. Are you wearing those hot shoes on the bike? 

Badger - I remember those days. At one point I felt like every single heavy, cheesy comfort casserole my friends had brought (and I dutifully ate) was still inside me. UGH. Hope you find some relief soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Down 1.6 tonight! But I had to dress like it was summer...wore my lightest weight leggings, a thin top, and I layered a big scarf and jacket on top of that...which I took off just before I stepped on the scale! 

I realized that some of the things we learned in class about preparing for holiday meals had really paid off. One thing we were taught was to prioritize our favorite foods.

In other words, we could have rolls and butter any day, but Grandma's special stuffing might be a once-a-year treat, so that would definitely go on the list. I was able to bypass a lot of things that way. I even found out I don't like turkey all that much! 

Just got home from weight watchers and I lost 3.6 this week woot woot!!!

I even went to zumba today protective nipple cones and all. I didn't take my sweatshirt off I was really sweating. Got to my PS tomorrow I hope I can stop wearing them now.

WOOT WOOT Carrol2!!!

YAY carolehalston!!!

Up one....ate all weekend with various events, not suprising but I have to get back into being good on all the other days!!

Bummer, Dulcigirl.  Hope you can get back on that bike soon.

wow yeah temptation is getting the best of everyone it seems. The only good thing about the fact that I don't have a lot of family in my life is the temptation is less. Still tough to resist the sweets. so far so good for me though.

is there a fitness board you all go on? can some post  a link for me?

Up 2 lbs. grrrr. Not walking, and sitting around the hospital with a snack machine every 50 ft. doesn't help... why don't they have low cal, healthy stuff as readily available as the high cal junk?

Hi Carol, check out pat's link. At least when we exercise, we don't feel quite as bad about eating because muscle weighs more than fat (that's my story and I'm sticking to it ).

hi ladies, I'm down 2 more pounds despite being on exercise restriction from ooph.

Blessings, LOL at the heavy cheesy comfort casserole - what a perfect description!

Dulcigirl, I know someone who switched to a recumbent bike because her regular bike aggravated her LE.  Had to do with the position of her hands and the pressure on her arms.  So you're right to back off until you see the specialist.  Hope you see him/her soon. 

Well, when I joined Optifast last March, I told them I wanted to weigh 140 pounds. The doctor and the nurse both told me that this may be too ambitious for me...that at 5'5", they'd rather see me at 145. They said I would need some "reserves" in case I got sick.

Well, I did lose 60 pounds, and met their goal of 145. My BMI went from 33.9 (Obese) to 24.1 (Normal).

On Tuesday, I seem to have caught the flu from my FIL (Mr. "I'M NOT CONTAGIOUS!") and have lost 2 more pounds in two days. Now I understand "reserves"....

Aw, thanks, badger...

No change - still 162 - but after two weekend parties I feel this is a major accomplishment!  Two parties coming up next weekend - and the holiday lunch at work tomorrow - and no willpower!  Stay strong ladies, let's try to maintain at least through the rest of this holiday season.

Can't remember what last Wed.'s weight was since I weigh every day, but I'm happy with 158.5, which is just 1 lb above my low weight since going back to WW.  My goal for Dec. is not to put on lbs.
