Wednesday Weigh In

Thanks, Badger.I know I posted that link successfully several pages back, but I must have done it by accident

Hi girls,

I've been missing in action yesterday. Working for DH this week in his secretary's absence, and it's been busy-busy. Anyway, my weight is down to 160.5 as it was 2 weeks ago. Finally. My short term goal is to be below 160 when I post again . . . will have to be very good this weekend. Been invited out for dinner on Saturday night, but will be strict. Small helpings, no seconds, and lots of water. No alcohol. Lots of walking and exercise too.

Wren, I have often wondered the same thing. On some of these weight loss shows someone will be my length, or even shorter, and weigh 10 to 20 lbs more, but wear way smaller clothes than me. They are downright lying through their teeth, that's all it can be. It's really sad, eh?

Congrats to all the losers!

And RangerMom remember, when you weigh at home on Wednesday morning, weigh yourself NAB (naked after bathroom) Much less depressing than weighing fully dressed at the doctor's office.

Wren, when you join WW, you set your own goal weight, as long as it's in a healthy range for your height and age. I really do think WW is great, but like anything, the plan only works if you work the plan. I reached my goal and maintained it long enough to become a lifetime member in 2010. Then I had to give up my favorite form of exercise (roller skating), my mom passed away and I quit going to meetings and quit tracking my eating. Then of course, BC entered the picture. No more excuses, though!

Either that or they're buying clothes at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. I've heard they run larger than Sears.

I think I'd have a hard time with Weight Watchers now because we don't eat red meat or many eggs. I think I'll stick to fairly low carbs and lots of veggies and fruit.

Welcome rangermom. I do find it helpful to post every week. Get those estrogen-producing fat cells out of here.

Very true, Ruth, and for those of you newbies who aren't on the "Let's Post Our Daily Exercise" thread, check it out.

Martie1228, I really think you should cut yourself some slack during chemo. Any weight gain during chemo is likely to be from fluid retention and from the steriods. Keep yourself as well nourished as possible.

Hi, on Wednesday I was okay but back up today so now working on going down by next Wednesday.  Gonna conquer this belly somehow!  Size 2 (5'7" - 187 lbs) here I come (yeah, fat chance! - better put a number 1 in front of that 2 and that would still be pushing it)  I also wonder how someone who is my height and girth can claim to be a size 6, even if it is out of Nordstrom or Lord and Taylor, Ann Taylor, etc. (none of those stores can I afford).

May i join you ladies? I lost 10 pounds since february then bam, a local recurrence sent me into chemo. I am finishing chemo and would love to lose seven pounds before they suppress my ovaries as it seems it will be harder at that point. Can I lose weight during rads?

Ignore sizes. They alter them to make you feel better. In my twenties I wore a six and I sill wear a six even though I am not the same weight! Go figure. In a European brand I wear an American 10. More accurate.

Yes, welcome TwoHobbies! You can lose weight during rads, but be careful to keep your lean protien intake up. I ate a lot of greek yogurt and fish.

Welcome Twohobbies! May I ask what your hobbies are?

Up 200 grams. Must be an optical illusion. Next week has got to be a down week. 

Good morning ladies. My starting weigh-in for this venture is 126.8. That is down .8 lb from the day before I started chemo so I'm happy with that.



Heidihill my hobbies are gardening and cycling. I can't wait to get some physical strength back to do those.

up .5 to 162.5 - wrong direction and again no excuses - have started to weigh daily so that this gradual upward trend doesn't blossom into full blown failure in a week!

Weight still exactly the same as last week, 160.5. Been there for 3 weeks now, and the 150's are still eluding me. I've been very good, and exercised religously every day this week. Oh well, I guess it's better than gaining. Let's see what next week brings. My children are coming for a visit this weekend, and will expect Mom's home-cooking. Mom will just have to sit by and watch them eat while picking at a lettuce leaf - lol.

Still struggling to get started.  I start out the day gun ho and by evening have fallen off the horse.

hi all and welcome TwoHobbies! I'm up .5 this week darn those stubborn fat cells.

Been hot & humid here days so walking 30 mins in the a.m. which is half my usual time so that may have something to do with it.  Should add a walk after supper but then there are bugs that bite.

Wren, I like apple + peanut butter, what's your opinion of apple + almond butter?  Too many grams of fat?
