    what a difference a cpl of days and exercise make, huh? lol
  • Whoa! Loads of posts!
    I wasn't able to post yesterday but it's up now.
    A 0.5 lb gain, but it's not as bad as it sounds (I'm choosing glass-half-full this week).

  • Here I am again, and I certainly hope that I keep it up this time... I really stunk it up last challenge but I've got my mo-jo back and am ready to kick some flabby (meaning my) ass!!

    I am starting a week late, but better late than never..
    Last weigh in @ sisterhood was 256
    Yesterday: 251.4

    Here's to an awesome week for us all!!!

  • I'm a little late here, but yesterday was a "no shower" day so I forgot to weigh myself. I'm up .8. I did really well all week, but then peetered out over the weekend. And I didn't do awful that last couple days, but I didn't workout either. So - my ambivilance is to blame. But I'm off to the gym today and I have plans to bring a healthy snack to my book club tonight so I don't go too crazy with the usual treats that are there. I'm back on the wagon after only holding on by my fingertips for the last few days.
  • Keep your chin up, Nancy!! You know what you did wrong, and you can fix it!! .8 pounds will be a cinch to get back off!

    Hope you have fun at your book club!!
  • No gains, no losses. 137.8 - STILL!
  • It's okay! It may just take your body a little while to get used to the idea!! Keep trying, girl! Don't give up!
  • 155 here : no loss, no gain. We were out of town last week and given that I'm excited!
  • Going out of town AND maintaining? AWESOME job!!!
  • -.5 - Yippee!!

    Welcome all new members :)
  • Didn't start off so well... gained two pounds. :-(
    But I am determined to get it in gear!!! I blogged about it here:

    http://trulycaptivating.com/2009/04/shrink-into...

    Have a great week, everybody!!
  • Erin P
    Down 1 lb. Not too bad for spending sat night drinking large amounts of beer with Melissa and pigging out on pizza and potatoes at 2 AM!!!
  • Our Melissa? For real? She failed to mention the beer/pizza/potato-a-thon. SMFD! She's such a hooker!

    Glad you still lost a pound!! Way to go!
  • shrinkingjeans
    You mean I forgot to mention that?! That Erin and I rocked the blackjack table, drank too much, came home and ate tomato basil pizza and baby baked taters from Schwans?? Oops. Sorry. ;o)
  • Those tomato basil pizzas and baby baked taters are at least good for you!
    They're on my list for Schwan's every two week!

    Blackjack? I'm SO jealous. SO jealous!!! And drinking? Miss it!

    -christy
  • shrinkingjeans
    I guess I am logged in under the wrong acct too!! THAT'S ME, everyone! I'M THE POTATO EATING HOOKER. ~Melissa
  • Not too bad at all! Take that loss!
  • I am here by way of Christie at babytealeaves... I am wondering what I need to do to get into your challenge? Please let me know!!! I will post asap!!!! Thanks Danielle
  • Welcome, Danielle!
  • Just fill out our contact us form (it's up there on the top navbar), and make sure to include your blog address. Then add our button (also available up there on the top under Grab a Button) to your sidebar.

    Welcome to the Sisterhood! We're so glad to have you!! Let the shrinking begin!!!
  • my husband was out of town this week, so it wasn't as easy to carve out time to excerise and make healthful meals.....but i'm down a pound!

    he comes home tonight & i'm begging for a wii for wii fit!! my girls and i love to hulahoop & wish i could participate in the mini-challenge!
  • That's a good loss for the week! Good job!
  • That's great, Lovelyn!!

    I know how hard it is to carve out time. Planning ahead really helps me, but I seem to be lacking time to plan as well!!

    I hope you get your Wii Fit! There's still time to sneak into the challenge!!
  • And we're off... http://www.melsboxofchocolates.com/2009/04/weig....
    Good luck everybody!!
  • Whooohoooo!! I lost 5 pounds since last Wednesday! I weighed in at the gym and fully clothed I weighed --- 220 pounds!! yeah for me...all those cokes I missed out on helped me get there I'm sure! and I'm no longer having caffeine headaches either!!
  • That's awesome!! Keep up the good work!!
  • Way to go, Ann!! That's AWESOME! Giving up cokes is hard.

    I need to give back my 5lb button! ok, only 2/5ths of it! Since I last weighed in, I've put 2lbs on. Totally sucks, but I'm ready to get moving on this Shrink into Summer challenge!!

    Here's the link to my blog post

  • spbray
    Thanks for posting for me. I'm home now and can finally reply!
  • Kim
    Ok, here I am again. I am SO serious this time. I sucked it up in the last challenge...I didn't even weigh in because I knew I was doing terrible. But this time I am determined and READY!
    So, here is my weigh in - 179.6. I really want to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight, 172, by Memorial Day. I want to be at 160 by Blogher in July. I can do it!!!

    Here's hoping I win the SHRED!
  • Good luck!! You can do it!
  • Welcome back, Kim!!! I can't wait to see your skinny butt at Blogher!
  • I am still just maintaining my weight. I seemed to have hit a plataeu but I think it may be due to the fact that I am lifting weights. Oh well, staying at 140 is better than reporting a gain I guess!
  • Great job maintaining!!
  • Keep up the good work, Priscilla! I bet the lifting has something to do with it. You can work through the plateau, girl! I know you can!
  • After religiously tracking my calories this week, I lost 1 pound.

    Last week: 159
    Today: 158

    Only 3 more til I reach pre-preggo weight!
  • Great job!! Keep up the good work!
  • That's great, Jessi!! Congrats on your loss.

    Three pounds will be gone in no time! Keep up the good work!
  • Hi there! I'm new here just found you guys through melsboxofchocolates.com!
    I would like to participate - I hope that's still possible?!?!

  • I gained, too. No worries! Shred with us!!
  • Well, well, well! Fancy meeting you here!

    Get you butt out and buy a Shred right this very minute. You must join us on Monday. That's an order.
  • kateb
    Down .4 for the week. Not great, but I am not going to complain. I will try to blog at some point. The next 15 days are going to be stressful and I see fast food on my hips. :(
  • It's a loss and that's great!

    Good luck this week!
  • Ahhh, you must be an accountant or work in accounting! I hope the stress isn't too bad! Keep lots of healthy snacks handy and it will help curb the urge to eat poorly!

    Congrats on your loss! It is great!

  • http://livinginagirlsworld.wordpress.com/2009/0...

    Overall not bad considering the traveling.
  • I just found you today, but I'd love to lose along with you! I'm starting out at 182.0.
  • Welcome, Jess!!
  • Welcome to the Sisterhood, Jess! We're happy you found us!!
  • http://tatertotsnfries.blogspot.com/2009/04/shr...

    I weighed in at 170.2 today. No loss:( Here's to next week!

    Also, I already have the 30 day shred so don't enter me in the drawing.
  • Karissasmom
    I just discovered the challenge today from a friend's blog. I have a 4 1/2 month old baby and can't lose the rest of the weight from pregnancy...this is the motivation I need. My current weight is 142.3...and I'm just starting today! I haven't blogged about it yet.
  • Welcome!! Thanks for joining us!
  • We're glad you found us! Welcome to the Sisterhood!!
  • sigh, so we celebrated some birthdays over the weekend (brownies AND cake back to back) and I hardly eat a thing yesterday and pigged out on chips as soon as I got home. AND (I have as many excuses as I do extra LBS) I have the pre you know what I am talking about bloat going on. So I am up 2 lbs and that my friends really ticks me off. No mercy now it's on!
    You guys rock.
  • Hey, no worries about the gain, just get back on track!! You can do this!

    Good luck!
  • You'll get back on track this week!! And you'll lose those 2 pounds. Just remember that you have to eat, otherwise you'll end up overeating because you're starving!

    Chin up, girl!!!! You rock, too!
  • I haven't blogged about it yet but here's my weigh in before I forget:

    Starting weight: 156

    WWI: 157 =(

    I thought it would be much worse since I've been a bit blue lately and eating EVERYTHING in sight. Feeling better now and back on schedule. Pretty sure dear ole Aunt Flow is right around the corner so this should be a fun week for me too.
  • Don't get too down! You'll get back on track! Good luck!
  • At least you know why you had a gain! One pound isn't bad considering the week you had! Just get back on track this week and try to avoid eating everything in site :)

    Try to keep a positive attitude! It will get better this week! I promise!!
  • I did OK this week...0 weight loss, but close fitting a bit better...I blogged over at cangelosicreww.blogspot.com....I hope to see a drop this week!
  • Just heard about your challenge and I am jumping on board. Since Saturday I am down 1/2 of a pound. I will make a post on my blog about your contest today. I need Jillian to get me in shape for summer!!!
  • Welcome!! Keep up the good work!
  • Welcome to the Sisterhood!! Congrats on your loss so far! We look forward to seeing you around here more ;)
  • kateb
    Hey...watch it...that's what I got too! A loss is a loss!! Right?!
  • I hope I'm posting this in the right spot. This is my post for my first official sisterhood weigh in.
    http://bacardimama.blogspot.com/2009/03/weigh-i...
    I'm crossing my fingers and saying a few prayers that i win a dvd this afternoon. Thanks so much ladies for being my inspiration. I've needed this for a long time. I'mnot brave enough to post my actual weight yet, but next week I'll be proud to post my first loss. Thanks again!!
  • Amy
    I am starting over this week. I have had a rough and stressful few months and have paid the price on the scale. Today is a new day!! I gained 2.6 this week. I have not been blogging about it on my site, but will continue to post here. Can't wait for the 30 Day Shred Challenge.
  • No worries! Like you said, today is a new day! Start fresh, you can do it!
  • Keep your chin up, Amy! The weight will start coming off, especially once we start the Shred challenge!
  • I am down .5 lbs... more to come off next week.

    http://roxymommy.wordpress.com/chunky-monkey/
  • I gained 1 pound this week, but I also hurt my back, so I'm blaming that ... and the baklava... I have to place some blame on the baklava.

    I'm excited about the upcoming Shred challenge. I hope win a copy, because I love Jillian.
  • Take care of that back!! No worries about the gain, you'll get back on track!
  • Ah, that evil baklava. Hope your back is feeling better!! Good luck this week!

  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans
    I lost 1.5 pounds this week- WAHOO!

    AND, since i began this journey in January, I have now lost over 10 pounds and just today, collected my 10# button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Congrats on the button, friend!
  • Way to go, Sister!!!!
  • My Hubby and I are new to the sisterhood so all I have is a starting weight. Hope it's ok we're joining the challenge a week late.

    Me starting weight: 164
    Hubby starting weight: 217

    http://graspthelove.wordpress.com/2009/03/31/be...
  • Welcome to you both!! We're so happy to have you!
  • YAY!! I am holding steady from the weekend WI @down 2 from the previous weekend!!! something to be said for the flu ;) maybe all the coughing is keeping those abs moving enough haha
  • That's great! Congrats!
  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans
    I'm coughing too! Last night I was woken up by a hagging, coughing fit. I am positive that is why my abs hurt this morning and why I have a loss : ).

    Good job!
  • Great job on your loss!!!
  • Hugs, friend. Big hugs!
  • Thanks, so much! I needed that!
  • Christine
    Last week: 175
    this week: 175
    NET LOSS: 0
    This plateau is killing me! I will be changing my exercise routine-maybe with the shred dvd that I win later today!!!!!
  • If you're stuck in a plateau, a change in routine is exactly what you need!! Good luck!
  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans
    Maybe Shred is just what you need! At least you didn't gain. Good luck!
  • Christine,
    Maintaining is a victory in itself! I know you're trying to lose, but it's so much better than a gain!! Keep trying new things and the weight will start coming off!
  • Down a pound this week!

    http://sortacrunchy.typepad.com/shrinking/2009/...

    (Please don't enter me in the Shred giveaway though - I already have it and started it yesterday!)
  • horrible week. probably that pancakes and sausage from the weekend. :(

    i'm up 3 pounds, so i'm skipping doing an official post about it today.
  • Yeah, what Lisa and Christy said! I know it's hard! I gained, too this week! We just have to start over! You can do it!
  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans
    Try not to be discouraged! Today is a new day and this is a new week of the challenge. Everyone has ups and downs- I know all about that. What is important is the overall loss over time and keeping that weight off.

    You can do it.
  • Awww, Brooke :( I'm up 2.8 pounds this week after I *thought* I did a pretty good job. It sucks, I know! We can get those pounds off this week, though!! I know we can.
  • I completely forgot to step on the scale this morning. We were visiting both sets of parents for 5 of the last 7 days, so I don't expect there to have been much DOWNWARD movement on the scale, but I was definitely much more self-controlled ~ I even turned down most snacks, even when everyone else was eating and enjoying!!! ~ and generally stuck to just one serving of everything. So I don't think there will have been much UPWARD scale movement either, which usually happens when we go away.

    Despite not weighing in or posting this week, I'm very much keeping in mind what I wrote last Wednesday. (http://swanvalleytammi.blogspot.com/2009/03/rev...)
  • I think you did a great job with being mindful while you were on visits! Keep up the good work!
  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans
    Good for you for being so discipline. I find that when I am visiting my family, all discipline flies out the window. I am going to try and be better about that!
  • It sounds like you made really good choices while visiting your families! Keep it up, girl!!
  • Danielle
    I weighed in at 202 today which gave me a loss of 1 lb.
  • Congrats! Great job!
  • Way to go, Danielle!!! Keep up the good work :)
