I just thought I would check in with everyone and see how you are all doing. I have been slowly losing on the new momentum plan. .2 here and .6 there. My scale at homes says that I have done well this week but we will see at Saturday's weigh in.

Anyone else want to share?

[loveajax]

finally, great job!!! i've had the plus .2, down .6 thing going on too!!! this week down 3 whole lbs...yippee! hoping to get off to a good start for 2009...i only have 50 more lbs to go (baby steps, right!!! haha!!) how's everyone else doing...happy new year!!

Hey I joined WW last time for the umpteenth time. Good luck to us all!!!!!!

[lovemy2boys]

I've stayed the same....no gain, no loss.

I find that a miracle in itself...

Between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and about 200 bday parties (read: cake) for the boys, I'm a winner! lol

[startedover]

I was actually going to post a CALLING ALL AMOM tonight. Glad we're back in the game girls.
I too have done the up then down thing, but got all 4 birthday parties behind me since Christmas so I'm sticking to it. I am going to try and put my signature at the bottom to represent my "loss or gain" instead of my childs age. How is that done?????

[feelingreyt]

I have done terrible lately. I've just not gotten my head into it yet. I have got to get back on track and stay focused!

[loveajax]

feeling, according to my unofficial WI at home yesterday, I had gained back 2 of the 3 lbs i lost last week. i cannot keep up any momentum...blech!!!

i just wanted to "recommend" SHAPE magazie "special issue" I got in the grocery store yesterday. It says "Make Over Your Body in 21 Days" (honey, I need 21 months at least!). Anyway, for some reason it was really inspirational to me...I love when they show "real life loss" stories. And there were a lot of good recipes and exercise tips.

[lovemy2boys]

I'm TICKED...OFF at myself.

I made it through the holidays (bet. Thanksgiving and Christmas) without gaining a pound...Nothing. Not an ounce.

And somehow between Christmas and now I gained 5 pounds. WTH??

Ugh! I'm disgusted with myself!

To top it off, I have huge panic attacks when I have to drive on the expressway in the snow...and my gym is 15 miles away, of course all express way; and it's been snowy and icy for the last few weeks, so that tells you how often I've been to the gym lately.

I'm a hot mess...

ETA: Ok - so I just looked a few posts back, and noticed that on the 9th of January I had not gained a pound...And there is no way I gained 5 pounds in the last 5 days...(at least I better not have!!!) So I'm thinking there's something wrong with the scale!!! Shew! I feel ever so slightly better...

[loveajax]

oh, love, that stinks. and i totally know about the driving in the snow thing. one of our cars is in the shop and i have been tooling around on black ice in my FIL"s small hyundai (Veterans plates and all). I almost had a panic attack trying to go to work yesterday.

Not to be TMI, but it could really be related to that time of month maybe? we'll get cracking!!

i was just cracking up too. I told my husband I have "reverse anorexia." I was looking at some pix of the "body makeovers" and the "befores" are women who are my height and weight and I'm like, "Man, that's a large woman." Yet, when I look in the mirror I see the svelte me of 20 years ago!!! (I must have Funhouse mirrors here!).

[lovemy2boys]

I added on my last post that something may be wrong with my scale, since my last weigh in was a mere 5 days ago and I had gained nothing at that point...

Reverse anorexia - I LOVE IT!!!

Hi everyone-
I just saw this post & skimmed it... can someone give me a brief explanation? I'm on a weight loss mission right now & would love to share support.

[loveajax]

Steph, join us!!! We all are just on a weight loss mission as well (I happen to be doing WW right now). We are really trying to gear up to start 2009 off right.

[lovemy2boys]

Welcome to our "support" group!!!

Basically that's what we are - a group of women who want to get healthier...lose weight, exercise, what have you...

Some are increasing exercise, some are eating healthier, some are doing weight watchers, some are slackers (that would be me ) but we are all just here trying to get fit and be each other's conscience...

We try to keep each other motivated and accountable...

So are ya game???

[Steph-Jason]

Love & Love

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I'm definately in!! I started gaining when we went through all the infertility treatments... now we're almost a year off of that & I'm 20 lbs heavier than when we finished Not to mention i'm only 4'11'' & DO NOT carry weight well. DH & I bought an elypitcal (gosh- can't spell tonight) a few months ago & hadn't really used it... just started to this week. I was actually shocked-- I just really started this week with eating better & exercising again & somehow i've lost 6 lbs... I even checked again tonight just to make sure the scale wasn't broken but it's right!! Hopefully that's a good sign

Right now I'm afraid to get on the scale I think I will wait for the meeting Saturday. I have had Pneounomia, Bronchitis, Sinus infection, and Strep all at the same time this past week. So no exercising till next week and that can make a big difference in my weight loss. But four medications later I'm feeling great.
