OFFICAL "weigh in" thread

[Mona]

we all are in a rut.. Lets snap out of it!!!

HERE, HERE!!!

 

[Ashley]

Well I dont really weigh myself to often. However, I am getting serious now as I have decided to cut my horse herd down to just my old guys, getting rid of most of my horse tack and prepareing to have my own kids. THus, must lose some weight in the process. So far in the last 2 days I am down 2 pounds.

Oh and cleaning the barn, yard, basement into a 20 yrd trash has helped!

Its been awhile since I checked in, glad to see everyone is still doing good. I know winter is the hardest time to keep on track but I know with everyones support on here, we can all continue. I had a set back and all due to stress, yes I am a stress eater. I gained 5 lbs back and then got the cobwebs out of my head and got back on track. I have done ok. Lost the 5 I gained but it took me about three weeks to do that. I have lost another lb in addition to that so I am at least heading in the right direction. I also need to get back to the gym, I think my next step is going to the pool at the gym, not something I want the world to see but with my knee issues, water exercise is the best for me. So I will suck it up and go.

So going into the holiday season, everyone just remember we are all here to help each other and if you go off course, its not the end of the world.

Take care and have fun. Oh and Mary Lou, I need to get my Wii going again, I love the bowling and tennis too. Sure works you over.

I hope I have turned things around again.

Congratulations Twister on reaching your goal!!!

:yeah I've been loosely following this thread but not joined in. I had lost 46 lbs doing my "thrive" program and was within 9 lbs of my goal. Now I'm struggling. End of Sept and October were bad months. Our old golden died, a friend died and then my old horse died. Plus 2 horse shows and going to the Duck football games(we are #1 in the nation now!). I am a stress eater and love my comfort foods. I'm feeling a little better emotionally but I'm just having trouble getting off the junk food again.

Have gained 5 lbs and I don't want to keep going up. I'm still doing my excercise program and weighing in with Thrive...though I have to make myself do it...not as easy. I know it's a lifetime commitment...but I get so resentful sometimes. I need a good kick in the butt! So, I'm going to start weighing in with you guys also and see if I can get my groove back on!!

Is anyone still active on this thread? I would love to join in! Have a goal of losing 30 lbs by next show season and plan to start on plan Friday. Eeeek!

Good luck on making your goal. Keep us updated on this thread.

I am still working on loosing and even with the holiday this past week, on Monday I had managed to lose 1/2 pound. My goal is to lose ten pounds.

Funny...I am the OP on this thread, yet I am the one who gave up 1st...*sigh*

I did like to see how well everyone was doing, tho, which made this thread worth it...and after months and 100's of posts, it just stopped...weird!

I kept waiting for ML to take it down, yet in the back of my mind was hoping she wouldn't and we could just get moving again...

I just ordered the "Zumba" tapes and should be here tomorrow. I love to dance and so....am willing to give this another try...

Let's do this thing...........

 

[Reble]

yes, still trying to loose weight but no progress, seems to be staying at the same weight. Hope to get back loosing.

No, must keep this going..

I kind of think its the season that slowed down the thread... Not just the holiday season, but also that it is winter, so harder for some to get out and walk with the colder temps and often deep snow. I haven't been actively dieting, but have been trying to watch what I eat, mostly I just watch it go down the hatch.

Although, after more than two, maybe three months (I lost my heart horse in June), I finally got past the comfort foods and I'm eating more normally again.

 

[LindaL]

Anyone still interested in "playing"? I didn't do much this past week, but am ready to go this week...

 

[Reble]

You bet, I went to the doctors last week and hurray still up and down from 20-22 lbs. lost, but the good news is my blood pressure is 120/82 so the doctor says I do not need blood pressure pills. I need to get down to busy now, and loose another 20lbs.

 

[Charley]

I'm still trying.

I was excited to look at the scale today. But I know the weight showing isn't true....as this scale is at my daughter's home and used to be mine. It weighs in light....so the eight pounds that it shows I lost is probably closer to one. Of course I won't know until I get back to Georgia; but it is fun to get on the scale and not feel bad.

I'll be here in Virginia until our fourth grandchild is born: my daughter is due anyday.

 

[Mona]

Hi Linda. Yes, I am definately ready to get back on track again too. Since I have been staying with my Mom for the better part of the last 2 or 2 1/2 months, and not eating right, and eating LOTS of restaraunt food, I am now back home and GLAD to say I have only gained back 7 pounds. I am happy about that, as I was truely expecting it to be more along the lines of 10-15, so 7 is like a bonus!

Not sure how I will do over Christmas, but if all else fails, I will get very serious again after the new year.

 

[LindaL]

Well, my intentions were good when I said I was ready, but we had a holiday party here at our house and...well, we had leftovers...and desserts...so I've been bad...

I am also "trying" to get moving with the Zumba dvds, but they are hard...LOL!!

Like you Mona, if nothing else...after the new year, things will settle down and I can get serious, but I am going to TRY to be good the rest of the year...

 

[Reble]

Me too, not gained but have not lost any more.

Just want to stay where I am, hope to get more serious in the New Year

 

[Reble]

Weigh myself before the weekend is better for me..

Lost total now 23 lbs. that ate bad being Christmas season to be Jolly..

 

[Reble]

Up 2 lbs. put still not bad, being all the stuff I have been eating.

Will not give up after the New Year will get back to busy...

 

[Reble]

How did you do over the holidays.

I am still at 20lbs. lost. so not too bad..

Now, too get back on track and try to loose my other 20lbs.

Any one else going on...

 

[Mona]

Oh gee, I meant to post here earlier today, but guess I got sidetracked and forgot.

I went all out knowing I had gained some back, and have been totally pigging out since, and totally off my diet since I knew I would have to start fresh again after the new year. Today was my "restart" day, and I have gained back 16 pounds since my lowest recorded weight since starting this. That is nearly 1/3 of my loss. WHAT A WASTE of effort! Needless to say, I am now kicking myself in the butt, but oh well, all I can say is "Here we go AGAIN"!!!

Good Luck to all!
