Spygirl | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 07:39 pm     After my weigh in today...I'm absolutely shocked! I'm gonna paste my total weight loss and preface it by saying that I've been using my home scales (that cost $4.99 at Walmart). Now, I knew that my home scales weren't very accurate because my friends would always comment on the difference, but I didn't believe it was that big of a difference. Well...I weighed on doctor's scales today...so I guess I've been inaccurately counting my weight loss... Total Lost: 21 pounds That is a HUGE chunk of what I need to lose total (although not even close to HALF yet). My clothes this week for work were too big, so much so that a couple of people noticed! I didn't figure 12 pounds would make that much of a difference and so I was very confused...now I know that I'll not be using my home scales anymore  |
Myjohnhenry | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 07:42 pm     Yay SpyGirl!!!!
I need to go weigh on a good scale too...cheap home scales stink |
Nancy | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 07:52 pm     spy is that 21 lbs since the 5 weeks or so you've re-dedicated or since when? just curious-- |
Spygirl | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:14 pm     I gained some weight after the loss of 16 pounds when I started this thread. So, this is 21 pounds since I started this time. Just to put everyone's minds at ease (so no one thinks I'm making myself sick..hehe)...I'm being heavily monitored by a medical doctor (not a weight loss doctor but a real M.D.) and I'm taking more vitamins and protein shakes than I can...well, shake a stick at! LOL |
Kstme | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:20 pm     Congratulations Spy!!! Good luck! btw...if anyone wants to know where some of those pounds went to...MY middle! Glad to help out Spy! |
Nancy | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:29 pm     WOW that's awesome--that's about 4 lbs a week--i'm impressed i've had a week or two of greater than 2 lbs lost but not consistently |
Nancy | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:30 pm     lol then where did my 44 go kstme? oh i know the fat fairy took em all away |
Spygirl | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:32 pm     Thanks for the support guys Just remember, Nancy, I have a lot more weight to lose than you did when you started, so it'll come off much faster for me initially than for you. You have done an incredibly amazing job -- I'm inspired  |
Nancy | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:37 pm     thanks spy--remember too if you don't loose much in a week or two not to get discouraged--i swear my body takes a week off every now and then to kind of get used to the new weight--(and this week its really wacked my scale shows i gained back 3 of the 3.4 i just lost on tuesday--but i think its muscle and/or water/salt gain or from my infection...who knows-- |
Spygirl | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:43 pm     Very true...I know the slow down will come. I dread it, too. When it slows down is when I usually give up. In the past, I've even been quite happy at that point and wanted to stop -- WELLLLLLL short of my healthy goal. This time, it is full steam ahead  |
Kstme | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:49 pm     Nancy...I've probably got more than a few of yours too! I get so frustrated! I'm trying to lose about 12lbs. Still overweight but I can deal with it. I'm really watching what I eat but have to be careful...had two bouts of anorexia when I was in my teens/twenties and another in my early 40's. I can't do the walking I love to do because of a broken toe. I KNOW by sometime in November this will get better and I'll be hitting the pavement again. I've lost about 5 lbs in the last two weeks so I'm heading in the right direction. You and Spy are SUCH inspirations! Spy, you are such a beautiful young woman you've already got heads turning and soon you're going to have to carry pepper spray to get the guys away from you! |
Spygirl | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 09:07 pm     Kstme, if that actually turns out to be true, I'll buy you and your family tickets to Hawaii! LOL. Thanks so much for your kind words Good luck in your weight loss trek (hehehe...star trek -- lol). |
Kstme | Friday, October 11, 2002 - 10:23 pm     Spy...I'm thinking one of the small islands with lots of beach and surf! btw...thekid also sends her CONGRATS! She agrees with me! BIG can of pepper spray! |
Spygirl | Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 07:12 am     LOL -- y'all are both nuts Thanks, anyway, though!!!  |
Babyruth | Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 07:43 am     Well, I joined Weight Watchers last week. I was already familiar with the program from when I was a member 2 years ago...unfortunately, I stopped going after those 16 weeks (only partway to my goal) and gradually reverted to my original weight. Nancy, as I posted a couple of weeks ago, YOU (and the others posting in this thread) have inspired me to start up again...I keep reading all the positive posts in this thread and decided I wanted to be successful at this, too! So, I've re-joined, and today at weigh-in had lost 2.4# since my initial weigh-in last week, The meeting this morning was fun--there are a lot of talkative, witty folks in our Saturday group, and the leader is a hoot. I'm looking forward to the camaraderie/support there, as well as joining the terrific bunch of folks who post here. |
Kstme | Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 09:00 am     WTG...Babyruth! WW does have fantastic results! |
Nancy | Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 11:56 am     yeh baby i love my ww group as well--it makes a big difference to me--(plus i use ww online as well i post to a group there of about 20 woman who mostly weigh-in on tuesdays like me--it helps a lot to me |
Uhoh | Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 01:24 pm     i started WW last week also - my first time. i have several friends who joined in the last year or two, and every one has reached her goal weight, so i'm optimisitic. nancy - is the ww-online the one they have for a monthly fee? |
Nancy | Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 03:12 pm     uhoh its the same site yes but you can use the message boards and excess recipes without paying a fee--to pay the fee you get online journaling and recipe builder which helps you figure out points for recipes |
Bob2112 | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 09:44 am     Last Week: 3.5 pounds lost Total Lost: 14.0 pounds Total Weeks: 8 Way to go Spygirl!!! Good job Nancy! Babyruth and Uhoh, Welcome to "Spain"!  |
Kstme | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 02:12 pm     WTG...BOB! COOL! |
Bob2112 | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 02:53 pm     Hey Kstme, I missed your name up there! 5 lbs. in 2 weeks is great, especially since you have a smaller amount you want to lose. Keep up the good eating. I'm doing better with my eating, but still have too many bad habits. So, I have to out work it, which has been working well, so far. |
