Wednesday Weigh-In, Shrink Into Summer Week 2

April 8th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Weekly Weigh-In | by lisa

Yo, yo, yo Sisters and Brothers! We’ve made it through the second week of the Shrink Into Summer challenge!! How do you feel? Are you shrinking yet?  Are you ready to don a bikini and hit the beach?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Maybe never.

So much has been going on this past week here at the Sisterhood.  We have been hopping with new posts, new challenges, new recipes and new sisters.   It is so exciting, isn’t it?

Before I get to all the “reminders”, let’s get down to the business at hand.  It’s our favorite day of the week: weigh-in day.  Go jump on that scale (isn’t this fun?!) and come back and share with us how you are doing.  Leave your results in the comments and write a post on your personal blog sharing you struggles, your successes, your thoughts….ANYTHING.  Make sure to come back and leave the link, though.  We want to read all about it!

To sweeten the weigh-in pot, everyone that weighs in will automatically be entered to win a Sansa Clip MP3 player.  I have one of these myself and I absolutely love it.  My favorite features include:

  • it’s size- small and compact
  • you can “clip” it on to your shirt or shorts during workouts
  • it has good sound quality through earbuds
  • it recharges through USB cable connected to computer
  • there are easy online instructions to follow
  • you can download rockbox software from internet to make MP3 player compatible with iTunes/iPod music you already have saved

    • We will randomly choose a winner from the comments received by 11:59 PM Pacific time tonight, and announce it tomorrow.   All you have to do is WEIGH-IN in the comments section!

    Other news:

    • One More Mile is offering one lucky reader the chance to win a tank or short-sleeve shirt of their choice.  Contest is open through Friday, April 10th at 11:59pm Central. Winner will be randomly selected and announced the following day! To enter this contest, then click here.  Can you guess which shirt I have?
    • Mini Challenge #2 is currently going on right this very second.  Are you drinking enough water every day?  At the minimum, you should be consuming 8 8oz glasses of the clear stuff (water, that would be).   So fill your favorite glass, throw some ice in, and drink up!
    • Lastly, are you getting your SHRED on?  We sisters and brothers are SHREDDING the inches away with Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred.  Today is Day 3.  How is it going for you?  Do your arms feel like they are going to fall off?  What about your legs?  Are you loving this exercise?  Hating it?  Loving to hate it?  Stay with us- keep on going.  Keep on doing it.  Shred your unwanted pounds away.

    That’s it folks.  Weigh Away!

      http://thekrumwiedesix.blogspot.com/2009/04/wel...

      BUT I am drinking my water and I am also letting Jillian attempt to kill me so I am going to take still being alive as my 'reward' this week instead of a loss on the scales.
    • Up 0.2 pounds. Boo!
    • Ugh, I'm still UP from two weeks ago when this challenge started. Not by much, but considering that I felt like I'd done fairly well, despite spending 5 days visiting family in the city, it's very annoying.

    • Wrong direction on the scale for me too. I am up 1.4# so I'm back where I started this challenge. I was down a pound until I went out to eat on saturday...then I started shredding and don't they say muscle weighs more than fat? That's what I'm going with...all the muscles I'm building are impeding my progress. I haven't posted on my blog yet. Too much to do this morning.

    • i'm frustrated. REALLY frustrated!

      last week: 155.6
      this week: 156

      i'm up .4lb from last week! Which normally wouldn't be such a bad thing but i've been working my tale off! C25K 3 times a week, Elliptical 2 times a week. Shredding every day since monday and off and on two weeks before then. What gives? Grrrrrr....

      Otherwise...
      *still doing the shred every day
      *drinking my 48oz or more a day faithfully
    • Could you just be gaining muscle? Because that is a lot work- great job!
    • I am sure it has something to do with all your working out! You are doing great. It will come off soon.
    • Are you eating enough? With all of the working out you're doing you MUST make sure you eat enough. I know it sounds wrong, but trust me!
    • i meant 64oz.... sorry. But yes, drinking my amount and more every day
    • Woo hoo down 3.0 lbs this week - finally! Overall for this challenge 3.5 lbs. It helps if you just do it!

      http://hopeslifeadventure.blogspot.com/2009/04/...
    • Feeling good this week. I gained last week but lost this week, unfortunately I'm still one pound more than my beginning weight.

    • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans
      I lost a tiny bit but I'm not complaining after the weekend I had!

      http://www.growingupmo.com/2009/04/weigh-in-wed...
    • I've been slacking on all the mini-challenges. I'm trying to increase my water consumption, but it has been hard. Here's my update for the week.

      http://livinginagirlsworld.wordpress.com/2009/0...
    • +1.2 (can somebody tell my body the object of this challenge is to go down not up)

      http://living-loving-laughing.blogspot.com/2009...
    • spbray
      No change for me this week, but since my little one is now on cow's milk, I can commit fully to this thing! Day three of the Shred Challenge is also done...feeling good!

    • roxymommy
      ACK - up a pound. That's what I get for making a delish pot roast this weekend... ugh!

      http://roxymommy.wordpress.com/chunky-monkey/
    • Once again no weight loss. Which I am actually thankful that there was no weight gain either. We had easter dinner this past weekend with my husbands family so I thought for sure there would be an increase in the scales. Very thankful there wasn't!!

      Last week: 170.2
      This week: 170.4

      http://tatertotsnfries.blogspot.com/2009/04/eas...
    • I am down!! And did better than last week! Woohoo!!
    • Good job!!
    • This is my first time weighing in! YAY!
      My current weight is 135.1

      I'm on Day 3 of the Shred, and as weird as it may sound, I love the "pain" I feel during the day. It means I'm DOING something with my body. It's not injury-pain, just "holy cow, what did Jillian do to me this morning" pain.

      Oh, and speaking of Jillian, while watching last night's Biggest Loser, I created a healthier version of the famous TV show drinking game. If you're interested, play next week! Here's the link: http://www.catheroo.com/2009/04/07/the-biggest-...

      I'll be back with a link to this week's weigh-in post.

      Keep up the good work, sisters! I'm so glad I found you all!
    • Last week: 149.2 lbs
      Weigh In today: 148.8 lbs
      That's a 0.4lb loss - Woo hoo!! :)
    • That's great girl!!! Any loss is a good loss! Keep up the good work!
    • Awesome! Great job!
    • Last week: 154, This week: 153

      I did the shred last night for the first time. Whoo-boy! My quads are on fire today! Have to remind myself to get up and walk around to loosen them up a bit. It was a good workout. Tough! I will try it again tonight.

      My blog post for this week:
      http://kcrules.wordpress.com/2009/04/08/no-pain...
    • I am down 1.8# this week. I feel good about it, but I was secretly hoping for more since I gained 2.2# last week and I have worked out SO hard this week and tracked points every day.

      Here is my post:

      http://lifewiththerostens.blogspot.com/2009/04/...
    • Not as good as last week but, I lost 1.4lbs. Started at 228.8, now 225..total loss in 2 weeks.....3.8. Wish it was better.
    • Tammie,
      Don't get discouraged! You're doing an awesome job. Remember that the slower the weight comes off, the more likely it is to stay off forever. Keep doing what you're doing, because it's working!!
    • That's an excellent loss for two weeks...keep it up!!
    • I am down 5 this week!!! I haven't blogged about it because I am busy getting ready to host bunco but it is coming off.

      SW-220 (April 2008)

    • There's a lot going on so I'm not blogging today but I'm down 1 pound which brings me to 156. I can't wait to see the 140s.
    • Keep up the good work, LaDonna!!! You'll see the 140s before you know it ;)
    • Great job! You'll get to the 140's in no time!
    • Down 2.4 lbs. I actually weighed in Tuesday and am starting with you guys today. Wil lweigh in next Wednesday. Good luck to everyone!
    • Good luck to you, too, Terri! We're glad to have you! Congrats on your loss.
    • Welcome and congrats on your loss!
    • I'm down 1.6 lbs but I had previously gained 3lbs so I'm not quite back at the beginning yet. I need to drink more water though. I have to get my hands on that Jillian DVD!!
      http://realbeauty101.typepad.com/real_beauty_10...
    • My post is here: http://dalewis2.blogspot.com/2009/04/weigh-in-w...

      Not thrilled but I know why I gained...hopefully Jillian will help me shred the 2 pounds I gained this week in the next week. <crossing my fingers>
    • My first week participating. Gained about a pound. Ugh....
      Blogged here:
      http://maineberrypatch.blogspot.com/2009/04/wei...

      here's my truimphs and struggles: http://craftgirlalli.blogspot.com/2009/04/weigh...
    • I lost 1 more lb this week! YAY!

      I started Shredding last week and had to miss two days when I was sick. I am better and back to the Shred and started Level 2 today. YOWZA!

      Missed the post about the water challenge. I'm so in!

      http://sortacrunchy.typepad.com/shrinking/2009/...
    • Lori
      I'm up .2 lbs. Am continuing to do the Shred Challenge, so hopefully that will help make next week better!
    • Keep shredding! The weight will come off!!
    • Okay, down to 136.2 - down 1.6 pounds this week (and total for the challenge thus far).

      http://spiffytiffy3.blogspot.com/2009/04/weigh-...
    • http://ann-shesgonnablow.blogspot.com/2009/04/w...

      I'm disappointed that I didn't lose any weight this week. But I did a lot of exercise so maybe there is muscle mass growing!

      Down a total of 5 pounds over the past 2 weeks.
    • I wighed in this am.....down 4 lbs!!!! Wohoooo! Shredding and waterizing!
    • shrinkingjeans
      FOUR pounds?! WOW!!!!!!! Good work!
    • Four pounds is awesome!! Great job!
    • Last week: 175
      This week: 172
      That is definitely a YAY ME!
      http://sjtksbgibbons.blogspot.com/
    • I can't even believe it, but the last week was a 11 pound weight loss. I am sure it's b/c i have so much to lose...but still. Feels incredible. And yes, the last three days of shredding totally kicked things up a notch in the weight department.

      I didn't even realize it was possible to lose this much in one week, and I was wondering for a while if wii fit was messing with my head. But as I added up all my weigh ins (I weigh in every other day or so), it totaled 11.

      Thanks so much for the support guys!
    • WOW ARIANNE!! Yes, I am screaming! That is amazing!! You should be dang proud of yourself! I am!
    • Wow!! That is awesome! Fantastic job!!!
    • P.S. I know people won't believe me, I don't believe it myself. 1 or 2 pounds every day really adds up. I know it won't always be this way!
    • Saj
      Last week: 124.4
      This week: 123.2
      First week: 124.0
      Net loss 0.8!

      I blogged about it (and some other junk in my life) here: http://www.sajadvice.com/2009/04/08/weigh-in-we...

      As for the Shredding, I'm hoping it starts getting easier in the next couple of days. I had a hard time motivating today. Back to the morning workout tomorrow!

      Thanks for all the support!!!
    • Okay, first of all.....I have finally broken my plataeu and I have lost a pound after staying steady at the same weight for weeks!! It's only a pound but it is so wonderful to see!!!

      Also, that Sansa Clip MP3??? I need so badly! My MP3 player does not have a clip or anything and I need one with a clip!! Oh how I want to win this one! :)

      Oh and my weight?! I am in the 130's!!! It may be 139 but it is in the 130's!!! LOL, can you tell I'm happy?! :)
    • 130s!!! Awesome! It must feel wonderful to break your plateau!
    • Great job! Congrats on the 130's!!
    • ciaraj
      it is not good this week. up .4 lbs. i have major issues when my allergies flare up. my body swells, too. so weird, but i guess that's what happens when you get old lol
    • Allergies suck. ;o)

      Keep at it, it will come off!
    • Wow! Look at all these comments! This is great!

      I weighed in at 152.6 today - down more than 2 pounds. But since I haven't eaten anything more than crackers in 24 hours, I'm pretty sure it won't stay so low. Dang stomach bug. Haven't been to the gym in like a week because this bug is slowly working it's way through the family and I insist on being one of the resposible people who only takes children to public play places when they are fully healthy.
    • shrinkingjeans
      I like that you keep your kids home until they are healthy!!

      I hope you and the fam are all feeling well soon!
    • shrinkingjeans
      It's Melissa, I need to log-in under my name apparently! ;o)
    • I hope you feel better soon!
    • Last Week : 218
      This Week: 215

      LBS lost- 3 :)
    • Three pounds is terrific! Way to go girl!
    • I am making my first official comment for the Shrink into Summer challenge!!! Stop by my site and let me know if I have done what has been asked!!! I do not know if I have a loss or gain this week but I WILL know for next week!

      Danielle
    • shrinkingjeans
      Hey girl! Welcome! Just make sure you leave your link to your blog so the other peeps know where to go! ;o)
    • The good and the bad. Bad news I am absolutely stagnant on weight. I weigh the same as I did in February! Arghhhh!

      Good news and really its awesome news: I went to buy a new Easter dress and got a size 8. When I started this I was a good size 12. Not sure about jean size but I am super excited about this new event!

      I know my body is changing but I would so love to see it in numbers on the scale!
    • That's got to be a good feeling!! Yay!
    • Erin P
      Up .4. Damn, I have been shredding plus going to the gym. Maybe it was the benefit fish fry last night......
    • Damn fried goodness.
    • JenniferM
      Start 4/1 183.0
      today 4/8 180.0

      I feel good about the scale coming down but on the other hand I have only done my shred once and feel bad about it, I will do it tonight even if it's at midnight : )

      Love it here, thanks everyone for the great forum
      http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?id=JMLA01
    • Way to go Jennifer!! Three pounds is a great loss. Keep up with the Shred and you'll see even more fall off!!
    • Okay, I commented earlier but hadn't had time to add my post. So here it is...
