Good Bad and Skinny Weigh In January 24th!

Morning all

last week 221.7

this week 218

loss this week 3.7

Total loss 12

Finally got in a solid week of training and got my eating somewhat under control.  Have a great week everyone   

Nope...not doing better...uncontrolled eating from stress has put me right back to where I started (well almost).

This week:  193.2  (yikes) up 3.8

Total weight loss:  2.2 pounds 

It is so amazing what my body does when I go into survival mode.  Working 14 hour days (worrying about it 20 hours a day), not exercising and sleeping enough, eating on the run, not being aware of how much I consume.  Even it I am eating good quality food, I can still get into trouble.  It is good that I am part of this group.  It makes me publicly face my struggles with my weight loss.  A big part of me wants to just vanish and wallow in it all.

Okay, I have said my piece....sorry for the gloom.  Time (again) to make positive steps forward.  Go team!  14% towards my goal is better than nothing! And I made it thru the holidays with a net loss!

James - those are my sentiments EXACTLY! It has been a rough week for me. My workouts have stayed the same, but obviously I have not been keeping my eating in check. I know I have had way too many sweets so maybe I should start by cutting those out

Weight on 1/17/07: 165.2

Weight on 1/24/07: 168.4

Weight gain this week: 3.2 lbs

Loss for the challenge: 6.4 lbs

I seem to lose weight rather easily when I am working at it, but when I slack it seems to come back on even quicker. I need to recommit to eating better, but I feel limited in motivation. My motivation for exercising is not waning, but I hate feeling like I have to deprive myself. I am going to try to do better this week and hopefully will have better things to report next week.

I, too, am grateful for this challenge and would like to keep going after it ends because I continue to struggle. It sounds like there are others in the same boat! Keep working at it and I am going to try to post at least a 1 lb. loss next week.

Ho.Ly.Crap.

Last week: 148.8
This week: 152

Having 6 days off due to my knee injury really hurt.  I tried to watch what I was eating but when you can't burn the calories....

::sobbing uncontrolably::

OK, this week WILL be better.  I'm training again!  It looks like I won't hit my goal for the challenge. (unless I can magically suck away 8 pounds in the next 7 days...)  But I hope to end on a downward trend that will continue into the next challenge!!!

I think I missed last week. No matter, I am still 181lbs.

Next week is going to be challenging. Minimal running for the rest of the week. Seems I have a slight case of anterior shin splints that just won't go away.

Hey I am posting here quickly while at work (trying to keep internet usage to a minimum while here)

Weighed in this morning: 164 - YEAH!!!

Last week (forgot to post): 165 

Beginning weight: 170

Total: -6 pounds

 
I'm sooo haaaappy. 

{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}

For you elektra - hang in there. 

So have we ever figured out if next week is supposed to be the official end of this challenge? When we start fresh, I think we need to drop those people from the chart that haven't logged in over a month. I think a smaller group is better and helps us all stay accountable.

James - Thanks so much for continuing to do the charts for our team! It is MUCH appreciated, even though it sounds like you have a busy schedule right now. The graph is a help for me, plus I like to see everyone else's progress. Don't get too discouraged, remember, you are still way lower than when you started. Just go easy and work on gradually going down. That is my motto! I am going to go for gradual loss instead of this massive up and down. I just don't understand you people that hold steady for weeks at a time.

Today: 147.0
Last week: 147.2. 
Down .2

That might just be that I was wearing different clothes, but I suppose I'll take it.  Good luck everyone. 

Kirk: sounds like you're not running, either.  Switch to the bike or swim until you completely heal.  You're already trained for your marathons.

I refuse to weigh in today.  I saw a number on the scale that I just can't accept.

So, I going to continue living in denial for another day, and see what happens tomorrow.

Jill (and Team Skinny)-

Thanks for the kind words.  It is my sense that next Wednesday is it.  The last weigh-in for the Winter Challenge.

As for moving forward, maybe we can just include those that specifically say in next week's post that they want to continue.  Also, since this is a continuation of the challenge, I would like to continue to track the weight loss against starting weights at the beginning of the WWC or whenever someone entered the group.  Unless everyone wants to start fresh and use next week's weigh-in as their starting weight.  Either way, I am here for the long haul so it doesn't matter to me.
