Wednesday Weigh In

Haven't been here in a couple of weeks, but happy to say I am down 3.5 lbs to 161.5 since the beginning of the year.  So I've officially lost my February vacation weight, but still have 4 more pounds to go to get to my pre Thanksgiving weight.  Been aiming for .5 lbs per week, slow and steady, hoping that maybe this time it will stay off.  Carol, great job getting under 160!  Liefie, I'm sorry you gained back, but sounds like you are getting back on track.  This winter has not been one conducive to exercise and good eating (she says as she looks out the window at snow and high winds - seriously???)  My son is getting married in September, so I do have an incentive to shed weight - my goal is to weigh 150 by the wedding. 

Way to go, Pat! Sounds like you have time to get to 150.

Up 300 grams and very definitely will not make my quarterly goal. Well, there's always next quarter before bikini time, also known as crunch time.

Same......did some stress eating ((nothing relieves stress like macaroni and cheese.....sigh!)

Down 1 pound and it was really, really hard.

131.0 up .2 from last week which is fine.  I'm in the maintenance phase now and would be find adding a couple of pounds.  To stay on or below 135 is my new goal. 

Hi Janice!

Welcome!!!

Welcome newbies.

I'm still going up.  Exercising hit-or-miss, mostly miss.  Eating could be sooooooooooooo much better.  Beginning to think there's some depression going on.  Not sure why because nothing stressful really happening.  But gonna get to bottom of this one way or another.

Smart to look into it right away!

If the fake potato salad tastes good, please share the recipe!

Yes, I do water but need to drink more.  Going to get some more right now.  Thanks Mods!

Well, here it is March 31, the end of the first quarter of 2014.It's not Wednesday, but I weighed in to see if I was still at my maintenance goal of 120. My weight this morning was 119.7 lbs, so I made it. Sticking with Weight Watchers has helped. I'm still attending monthly to weigh in and go to a meeting. I also track points using their E-Tools on most days. 

I'm making  a new personal goal for the 2nd quarter of being down 5 more lbs by my 59th birthday on July 1st.

I like the idea of quarter goals- great idea 

TwoHobbies, a 3 lb loss is great and so much better than a 3 lb gain! Yes, weight loss is so much slower for me than it used to be, too. We can't let that bother us, though. I try to remember how a slow, creeping weight gain can add up to a lot of weight before you know it and just being vigilant to prevent that is an accomplishment.

132.0 yay!  In holding pattern and doing fine.  This thread has helped me so much.  Good luck today everyone.

I was down 1.4 lbs on Mon. at ww weigh-in for a total of 9.6 lbs since I went back to ww on Feb. 24. 

It hasn't been easy but it certainly is satisfying to see and feel the difference in some of my clothes.  Yesterday I wore a pair of shorts to the gym that fit loosely in the waist.  A month ago I had to suck in to button the waistband.

Congrats to Annie and TwoHobbies and to any others experiencing success in their loss efforts.  And encouragement to all of us.
