Weigh In

So we weighed in again this week.  I wasn't sure how it was going to go.  Saturday, we went to Kansas City to take a tour of a stadium and did a lot of riding.  Tuesday, we went a little north of Kansas City to attend a funeral.  And with funerals and travels comes food.  Which all comes back to my wondering thoughts of how weigh-in might go.  To cut to the chase, Carl lost 2 lbs and I lost 1.  Not bad for what could have been rotten.

On the upside, I have another couple of things to blog about that are milestones for us.  Which is fun and exciting to realize.  And!  I tried a meal that I've never had before at Applebee's and it was actually quite good.  I'm so not adventurous when eating dinner out. 

Weigh-In

Oh yes I did.  And not only did I hit the 50lb mark, I bumped right on up and over it... with a new total of 53lbs gone.

My sweet husband has now lost 43lbs and he's going to hit the 50 mark before long...

Go Team Duo!

Conversations with Myself

Tonight was weigh-in and I lost 3.8lbs.  That's a total of 45lbs gone.  I haven't weighed less than 350lbs in the last 17 years.  It feels exceptionally strange to say my current weight.  So much so that most of the evening I've been conversing with myself about it...

I weigh 347lbs.  
Are you sure?  
I think I'm sure.
The scale said so.
Well don't screw it up this week.
Honestly, I hope I don't as it's not in the plan for me.
You weigh 347lbs?
I weigh 347lbs.
Are you sure you didn't transpose a number?
I'm sure. 
Well how cool is that?!

Wednesday Night Weigh-In

Our Weight Watchers leader changed (with the whole group in agreement) our weigh-in day to Wednesdays, so here we go with this weeks results.  Mr. Man lost 2.6lbs (woohoo) and I lost 1.6...or so I thought.  When we got home and I started to update this blog, the numeros didn't work out right.  Well good news for me, I lost another pound on top of that making a total of 2.6 for the week.  Go me!  But the best part is, together we've lost a total of 48lbs which is equal to 6 gallons of water...which doesn't seem like a lot in that format, but it's good enough for me.

Weekly Weigh-In

All right, I cheated.  I did!  Before I weighed in, I changed out the tennis shoes I normally wear for a lighter pair with no socks.  I'm sure it gave me a 1/2lb lead, but oh well! This week I managed to lose 2.6 lbs and hit my 5% goal.  My dear husband lost 1.2lbs and is closing in on his 10% goal.All in all it was a good week, but I gotta get back to moving like I was.

Weekly Weigh-In

Carl and I are in the middle of a friendly competition while taking down the pounds.  Two weeks ago, I was in second place (12lbs to 13lbs) and the race has been tight so far.  Last week I took the lead and tonight it was almost a straight out war.  I thought I was going to have to take my shoes off (and I would have) to stay in the lead.  He may make it to goal before I do, but I'll be the one with the biggest weight loss.. lol.  And it turns out that this week, Mr. Lookatme lost 3.8lbs (super job deary) and I lost 2.6.  That means I still hold the lead but only by less than 1/2 a pound.  I gotta step it up this week or get me some balloons.

Weekly Weigh-In

Well, I haven't posted as much as I usually do, but this week has been kind of busy to say the least.  We had our weigh in tonight and we're starting to relax and chat these people up.  I'm just not the kind of person to mix well until I warm up and relax around a group of people, but tonight went well. 

On the weightloss number front, I lost 3.6lbs and Carl lost .8.  So kudos to both of us!  I don't know what the deal is, but when I lose a bigger number, his is small.  If he loses a big number, my number is small.  Ahh well, different bodies I guess. We take it one day at a time and just keep going.

Weekly Weigh-In

Well, it was time for the weigh in again!  It wasn't so good for me, but Mr. Thing rocked it!  He lost 4.4lbs (AND ate up all his extra pointage) while I was good, ate reasonably and didn't cheat...I gained .4 (yep, less than a 1/2 lb).  Truly, I have no idea why it happened that way, but it's okay.  Together we lost a combined weight of 25lbs for the month of June!  I'm excited and happy about that and this is a long time process so it is what it is.

One thing our leader said and I hadn't thought about it that way was, "They had 2 birthdays, a church picnic and an engagement happen in one week, yet they came to face the scale anyhow."  To me, that single act really was worth it's weight in gold.  She's right, we did what we came to do no matter how the chips may fall.  I truly think this life is a changing.

Weekly Weigh-In

Oh man, have I been anxious all day.  I hated the feeling but I just knew in my gut that it was going to be bad tonight.  I've been stepping on my kitchen scale all week and it hasn't budged.  Apparently, it's a liar though.
I lost 3.2lbs and Carl lost another 1lb himself.

I find it really funny though how I still let the scale control my emotions.  Some serious emotional rehabilitation is needing to take place around here.  I'm sure over the next few years, I'll have to face it time and time again.   And one day, I won't let it control me, but hopefully that becomes sooner than later.

Weekly Weigh-In

Well, we weighed in tonight.  I can't say I'm thrilled for myself, but my dear husband did excellent.  He lost 2.2lbs while I lost .08 lbs.  Although we both ate mostly the same things, the only thing I can attribute mine to is that time of the month and maybe the fact my body was in sheer shock and disbelief from the 9lb loss the week before.  Other than that, I don't know what it was.  I exercised 5 times during the week and tracked points religiously.  Guess we'll see what this week brings and I know this isn't a quick fix so I'll keep my eyes focused on the path that lays ahead.

Weekly Weigh-In

It's been one week since Carl & I joined Weight Watchers and it was time to weigh-in for the first time.  We were ready no matter what the results would be, because if we did anything right this week, we stayed on track with our point counting.

The good news is Carl lost five pounds and I lost nine.  We both know that won't be the norm and we're great with that.  The mentality is just to hang in there and keep at it. And together, we can.
