WLS Weigh In 2-8-10

Happy Monday ladies!
I am so pleased to report that I have lost 5 pounds this week (despite it being that time of the month). It almost makes up for not having lost the whole last month. I haven't lost 5 pounds in a week for a very long time, so this is huge for me. I know that several of us had rough weigh ins last week, so I'm hoping that we have all turned it around and can share some success.
How did everyone else do?

Wow that is incredible Khris.

Well done!!

My keeping "making small changes" thing worked for a few days, but last week my one baking allowable for the weekwas a triple batch and that really sidelined me. And despite having a weekend full of exercise (5k race and long distance swim race) my weight was higher than for ages this morning. But is is TOM for me too, and the resultant drop in appetite kicked in today, so I'm hopeful for better news tomorrow.

That's great, Khris!
I'm down 2.4 pounds. I feel like I've finally hit another break through and it's been very encouraging.

I'm done .2 lbs this week. I guess any loss is better than nothing. I am recommitting myself this week.

Anne- I'm sure you'll see a loss next week.

Sarah- that's great!

Mellllls- you're moving in the right direction, and that's something.

Wow Khris, amazing!! Congratulations; you must be on such a high right now!
Congratulations to you too, Sarah! You actually managed to resist superbowl treats?

I am also happy to report a good week in which I dropped 3.2 pounds. I started this weight loss effort exactly two months ago today, and I've shed 17.6 pounds during that time. Corey has kept up a similar pace and dropped 16.4. I'm really, really pleased with how it's going so far. I want to maintain this pace if I can, which will require me to lose between eight and nine pounds in the next month. That's my next short-ish term goal. This week may be rough with birthday festivities starting Thursday and including a weekend visit to the parents, but hopefully I can keep losing.

Yes I did, Michelle! I made a pot of chili, which includes
1 can low sodium tomato soup
1 can diced tomato
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
2 cans kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 pound extra lean ground turkey (pre-browned)
pepper to taste
allspice, chili powder, and red pepper flakes to taste

Stuck it in the crock pot for four hours on high. I also found a cornbread mix that's dairy and gluten free - no upset tummy or bloating, yay.

Congrats on your weight loss, Michelle! I'm proud of you.

Yay, we're all back on track. I lost 2 pounds this week which I'm really happy with. I've been really sick all week (I came back to Chicago and got sick, the weather change maybe?) and I've been craving comfort food nonstop -- but I conquered the cravings. I also love tea with honey and lemon when I'm sick, but honey has a billion grams of sugar so I've stayed away. All in all I am pleased with myself.

2 pounds per week seems to be my average. Healthy, slow, and steady.

Woohoo Marianna! Great job! Get well soon.

Sarah, how great is the crock pot? I don't love it for everything, but I trotted it out this weekend to make a vegetable and lentil soup (there's two litres of it in my fridge as we speak). Also made a curried chicken dish with kale and barley and loads of other veggies. Your chili and corn bread sound great!

You are all dong so marvelously ladies, yay!

I have been working out everyday, sometimes, twice a day and have been eating very clean. Since my 4lb loss two weeks ago I haven't seen the scale budge yet though I'm committed to the process so I'm sure I'll see some results soon, but I would really like to see something in the meanwhile!

Hurray!

WOW! Soooooooo impressive! I think that you should all reward yourselves with a prezzie. Big pats on your back from us here :0)

Marianna, feel better soon. I'm think you showed great discipline NOT giving into your cravings when you're ill. I'm proud of you.

Well done, ladies!

Khris I was checking out your website. You've made quite the transformation. You must be very proud of yourself. You look fabulous!

After looking at my body type pictures, I have got to start watching what I eat again. While I don't weigh myself weekly, I'm going to join you all in your efforts towards a healthier body. My plan of action is to record what I eat daily and build exercise back into my schedule.

Thanks chelle!
We're happy to have you around and look forward to hearing more from you. I use sparkpeople.com to record my food- easy to use and free to boot, but there are several other similar websites if you're looking for an online log.
