Weight loss?

I didn't start a post this week.

I just figured there were enough posts about nutrition and the like to make up for this. There has been a lot of sharing of information in those posts and I thought adding the weight loss checkin post would just be one too many.

It is fine with me to drop it. We are still being encouraged to eat in a healthy way. What do you think......those of you who were checking in before?

P.S. I finally ate all the chocolate I had :)! Now it no longer calls to me.

Me too! I like our check-in :) And I NEED you this week! Don't you know my scale gave me 6 different weights!? All with in 10 minutes! I have NO IDEA if I lost weight, maintained, God forbid gained? That d--n thing gave me off the wall numbers, none of which were even remotely close to one another! Time for a new scale I think! I probably wore it out forcing it to endure those 300+ lbs last year!
But besides not having any idea how much I weigh right now, I had a so-so week last week. I was having some sort of "ice cream thing" going on, but I got it in check~I've bought Healthy Choice ice cream, so if I'm going to have an "ice cream moment" at least it'll be healthier than the full fat stuff I was eating last week!
I'm going to eat better this week despite my family! They keep pushing soft pretzels/ice cream/McDonald's (Homer Simpson drool there!) on me like I'm not trying to eat clean!
But this will be a better week and I plan to eat with in my target limits and hopefully report a loss for next week!
Hope all have a good week :)

Donna,

Is your scale "manual" or battery operated. If it runs on batteries you may need new ones. If not you probably do need a new one. I can SOOOOOO identify with the Homer Simpson drool. McDonald's is so good and tasty and fattening....don't forget fattening, filled with grease and fat. Yeah, filled with fat. I will not think about McDonald's....french fries. Stop that!!!!!! Okay, sorry I was just being silly! :) Did I make you smile????

So, it looks like we are going to keep going with this. :) Now I am forced to say I didn't get a loss this week.....didn't gain either so that is good. That chocolate was too much for me :9!

All the tempting food is gone now. If I feel like I really must have a chocolate bar I will go and buy ONE, not 32!

You are so funny, Donna :7. I really like your sense of humour and the way you word things. I certainly had my 'moments' this week....I like ice cream....but mostly in the summertime and then only when we go out. I wouldn't feel safe if it were in my freezer.

How are you doing Helen? Hope you are getting more sleep http://www.smilies-world.de/Smilies/Smilies_klein/sleeping.gif[/img] and not feeling too stressed. Any success with that 5# goal in mind?

How 'bout you Kelly. You were doing so great, but I really want to know if your house is still clean. ;-)
 
Susan,

My house is still clean (believe it or not) but I have worked to keep it that way. With two males in the house (hubby and 3-year-old) it's quite difficult. I love it when my house is clean and straight. It is such an uplift to just walk into the rooms. I still have our bedroom that is not quite so neat and clean. I have to get in there and do some tossing! Other than that my house is actually spotless. Yippee!

I ate way too much on my Birthday on Monday. I am afraid to weigh because I weighed before that and I had lost two pounds. I might have put that back on though. I'll wait to weigh. I am feeling great, the best that I have felt in months. I believe we have finally gotten my Synthroid at the right level. I have energy and feel like doing things.

When I was pregnant all I could keep down was ice cream. Now you can believe that if you wanna but it was true. Everything else tasted nasty for several months. I actually lost weight because of so much....how shall I put this....purging!!!!! I did not enjoy the purging but I did enjoy the ice cream. I am hoping my next pregnancy is not so bathroom oriented. Me and the Tidy Bowl Man (or whatever his name is)got REALLY close during those five months.

Oh well! Talk to ya'll later!!!!

Kelly, not only did you make me smile, you made me crack up! :)

My scale is one of those "cutzie" digital ones~I originally got it because it "looked" so cute (clear lucite w/ gold tone trim), who knew I'd actually be stepping my big a-- up on it some day? :)
I'll surf around and find a reasonable "real" scale.
But ya know what really "bites"? Hubby steps up on the s.o.b. and it gives him 146lbs! So he turns to me and says, "it works honey!"
I'm getting a new scale! ONE THAT LIKES ME! :)

OOOPS! sorry for the double post!
note to self: NEVER hit the back arrow after posting, and if you do, DON'T hit the post bar a 2nd time!
Donna :)
 
My eating was pretty good last week. It was my bad week, and actually, I ate well. I never even had ice cream!! Now, I am scared, is it going to hit me when this is all over??? I am trying to keep control!! I am going to weigh Sat. or Monday. I would live to see the scale drop at least 1 lb!!

I also enjoy the people in this post. I can totally relate to so many comments made.

Love the one about the scale. My scale is also digital and weighs in 1.1 lb increments. So when you go from 149.0 to 147.9 it sounds pretty good but hey it could be only a 1/4 of a lb. (lol). Kind of deceiving but it's a real love/hate relationship with this square box. I know I shouldn't weigh myself everyday, let alone maybe 2 or 3x a day but I just can't help myself.

Having said all that, last week my weight was down, this week it's back up. But the overall trend (I think) is going down SLOWLY.

I am feeling healthy and fit most days and seem to be getting the eating down better. The challenges come when do something out of the norm. Like this weekend we'll be going to Regina, SK for an RCMP graduation service. It'll be hotels and eating out for 4 days. That will be a challenge! I feel upto it right now but come Saturday could be a different story. Wish me luck.

You guys nearly gave me a fit, talking about not posting to the weight loss check-in...my first thought was OH NO! WHAT WILL I DO NOW? Please keep posting - I need it too! I'm up, but still woozy from surgery yesterday (so I know I lost as least as much as a gallbladder weighs GRIN) Have a good week, and know that you were the first ones I looked for as soon as I could sit at the computer today! Katie
 
Lori: If you can avoid ice cream you are the queen. I LOVE ice cream and pretty much have to NOT have it in the house in order to not eat it.

Paulette: I know how hard it is to stay away from the scale. I have the urge to weigh about 15 times a day. I really try to weigh once a week and if I've been bad then I will wait longer. :)

Katie: I'm glad your suregery is over and done. I hope you are up and going really soon. That gallbladder should be worth a couple of pounds at least!!!!! Happy Recovering!

Hey Katie...so glad the surgery went well.....and like Kelly, I hope you had a very large, heavy gallbladder :D.

You guys with the scale and ice cream http://www.smilies-world.de/Smilies/nichtani/icescream.gif[/img] comments :9....we do have so much in common. I sometimes just move the scale around on the floor till it says what I want it to :).....it doesn't change what I look like but it makes me feel better for the moment.

I did make a list up of things to do when I feel the urge to eat something for no particular reason and it seems to be working. It takes my mind off food and I have accomplished something...written a letter, filed some papers or even polished my toenails! I hit two birds with one stone!

Kelly, so glad you are feeling good and Paulette I hope you have a wonderful time in Regina this weekend.
