Threebeansalad: it will be a great help to have someone like you in our corner! I am going to try the weight journal and see what it tells me.

Re: Let's Lose a Person!

Okay, today was my weigh in day. Previously I stated I had lost 9.6 pounds. I looked at my journal and actually I had only lost 9.0 pounds. I lost 0.8 pounds this week. So now my total lost is 9.8 pounds. My current weight is 153.8 pounds. My goal is 145.

Today for lunch I had 2 wasa crackers, with spreadable swiss cheese, tomato and red onion and a side of cottage cheese.

I almost always have oatmeal with a 1/4c of frozen fruit and 1/4c of fiber one cereal for breakfast.

I'm a believer in the journal threebeansalad wrote about. I write down everything everyday. I have a DietMinder Journal.

Keep up the good work everyone!!

Re: Let's Lose a Person!

can i join the party? =)... i gained a few during the holiday season and have already been working to get rid of them because every pound counts when you're petite and my clothes are on the verge of mutiny... i have 2-5 lbs left and would love having you guys as my inspiration...

Re: Let's Lose a Person!

Yes! Welcome to the party! We'd be glad to have you. Since you have the least to lose (so far)...makes me think of the debt snowball. We'll just keep tacking all the pounds and have mini celebrations along the way. Unfortunately, I won't be able to add your weight loss to my own!

Welcome Kealina. The more the merrier. They say that there is power in numbers. I just went into the kitchen to make the jello I said I was going to make. I'm definitely going shopping tomorrow and have healthier foods on hand when I get hungry. If you can cut up some of your vegetables into bitesize pieces and have them on hand, it will be less tempting to grab for the higher calorie food. It's also about choices. I had some cheese and crackers for a snack and just looked at the different kind of crackers that I have and there's alot of difference in the calories for each one.

Re: Let's Lose a Person!

i found it helpful to pre-pack things into appropriate portions, that way i don't have to think about it more than once or twice a week. like nuts: they're good for you in small amounts, but it's hard to stop at one handful! so, i would get the cheap plastic sandwich baggies and have portions of nuts, crackers, or dried fruit packed up and in a basket, ready to grab.

Tina that is a great tip. Going to do that starting today.

Re: Let's Lose a Person!

HI All! I think I'll go ahead and join in the fun as well. Last year I lost 40 lbs, and I still have 40 - 50 more lbs to go. Initially, I was hoping to be at my goal weight by July, but I think more realistically it may be closer to December - I've kind of been at standstill for the past 4 or 5 weeks.

Re: Let's Lose a Person!

173 lbs. Just over the top of my healthy BMI range. Losing 10 lb will bring me down to a better number.

Have cut sugar out of my tea and am drinking it with non-fat milk. Instead of peanut butter on crackers as a snack I had a couple figs. Ate an orange instead of dessert.

**fair warning**

HIDE YOUR EYES PEOPLE!!



Nekkid does it!!


Alrighty, told you I was going to re-weigh this morning sans socks & chunky shoes - SO I take the scales from out of the utility room where there is wood laminate flooring and into the blind-lowered bathroom which is currently carpeted to weigh myself in some semblence of privacy. No need to scare the neighborhood chil'ren & small animals that might be walking by the windows. Weighing stripped down to my birthday suit w/o the socks and shoes took away 6 lbs. COUNT EM PEEPS!! 6 lbs!!

Unfortunately I couldn't totally miss seeing myself in all of my nekkid glory in the mirror and all I can say is...


****MY EYES!! MY EYES!!!!!****


Oh the trauma!!

Be very VERY glad that you weren't in my bathroom this morning and THANK THE HEAVENS ABOVE that those folks on Biggest Loser do not strip to get their best weight, okay? OKAY!! 'nuff said.


Exercise yesterday? Shoveled & swept snow off sidewalk three different times in order to keep it clear. Also cleaned off three vehichles three different times in order to keep us hopefully mobile if we need to get out. Carried in boo-coooo groceries in multiple small trips as snow was beginning to accumulate and slippage was a definite possibility - me squashing my eggs nor flattening my bread in a downward swoop would not have been pretty! Nay nor would a broken hip-bone been a frugal endeavor, so many small load trips did the trick.

LuxLivingFrugalis off to hit the water bottle and sluggerin'er back! Maybe tomorrow I'll lose the earrings before weigh-in!

Oh how I wish we could count our stripped down weight when applying to life insurance! One could save dollars for those 6 pounds depending on where you are in the charts.

Re: Let's Lose a Person!

It always bums me that I weigh more at the doctor's office than home. I realize their scales are probably more accurate, but I am also wearing a ton of warm clothes.

Re: Let's Lose a Person!

Did you know the time of day can also make a difference in what you weigh! I don't know the science about it, all I know is I weigh less in the morning. Which I guess is typical. It can vary as much as 5-10 lbs depending on your weight. The heavier you are the more you can vary. So always weigh at the same time of day to consistently tell if you are gaining or losing weight. Personally, I always weigh in the morning before I jump in the shower. No windows in my bathroom!

Starting weight - 160 lbs Goal 145 will accept 150...

What I must do --- STOP eating so much! Way too many chips and salsa at lunch today..grrr ---- Exercise (but it's sooo cold) telling myself to shut up and do it anyway...
