Weigh-In Wednesday-Shrink Into Summer Week # 5

April 29th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Weekly Weigh-In | by april

shrinkintosummer-11

Hello, Sisters and Brothers!! You read that right, we are in Week 5 of the Shrink Into Summer challenge!  Only 3 weeks left!  And can you believe that it’s almost May?  Where did April go?  How are you doing this challenge?  We want to hear from you!

Here are the rules:  First, go weigh-in.  You are not allowed to throw your scales if you had a bad week.  I know you’d like to, but it happens to all of us!  I promise.  If you had a good week, you are allowed to kiss your scales if you choose.   Or maybe do a happy dance!  Next, go blog.  We want to know how your week went, so we can leave you some comment love!  Finally, leave us your link!  Simple, right?

And do you know what simple gives you?  A chance to win this week‘s weigh-in giveaway!  The sponsor of this week’s fabulous prize is Steph!  A randomly selected winner will be chosen from those who weigh-in and leave a comment by 11:59pm Pacific time!  Good luck to all!

Also, have you seen our new mini-challenge?  Dairy is so important to having good nutrition.  Did you read all of the healthy benefits from making sure you get enough dairy everyday?  Three servings are recommended each day, so are you getting enough?

One last thing, are you still shredding?  We’re onto Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred!  Are you on Level 3 with us?  If not, where are you?  Does anyone else hate the Superman move as much as I do? (I know you like the Superman move, Lisa!)  Have you fallen off the Shred wagon?  No worries, just hop back on it!

Okay, that is all.  Have a fabulous Weigh-In Wednesday, everyone!!

  • Up 1.8 for the week! Thats what I lost the week before, lol! Its ok! I know where I went wrong!

    http://michellesinterestinglife.blogspot.com/
  • down a full pound this week! YAY ME! I feel like i don't quite deserve the loss since i did some MAJOR binging this week. I've bonded with my long lost love with cheetos.
  • Careful! Relationships like that are dangerous!! ;)

    You maybe didn't work "hard enough" for a loss this week, but I'm sure there have been weeks when you worked a lot harder and were disappointed that the results weren't better ~ you're just getting your dues on a delay!! Keep up the great work.

    Now, step awa-a-y from the Cheetos...
  • I'm down 3.5 lbs! That's absolutely incredible for me.

    I'm up 0.2, but I'm not getting too worked up about it. I'm still Shredding, and loving Level 3. Thanks!

  • I worked SO hard this week. Well, since Sunday anyway. I took Christy's advice and looked into the weight watchers point system. It has been tremendously helpful. And much easier than counting calories. I like that I can do it without my laptop too. Shocking isn't it? But I spend enough time glued to my butt with this thing attached to my lap. So I really love that i can just use my points looker-upper thing and a real live paper journal to record points. Remember those - paper journals? :) Anyhow, I'm down 3lbs this morning.... I'm nervous about it staying off though. It's weird that I can eat so much good food and still loose weight.
    AND, I need some supper suggestions from all my WW shrinking girlfriends!

    Thank you! :)

  • Weight start: 183 lb
    Weight today: 181 lb
    I have been walking (power walking) and taking a spin class twice a week. But now I don't know how to amp it up. I have got into a happy LOW pace.
  • How about some Shred?! ;o)
  • I am at 168 now. When I joined this group 2 1/2 weeks ago I was 175. I am pleased with my progress and can't wait to keep losing. I haven't started shredding :( I don't have the video. But it went on sale this week at Target for only $8.99; I just need to go get it. Right now I am using the My Fitness Coach for the Wii.
    Good Luck Everybody!
  • That's a great job for 2 1/2 weeks! Keep up the good work! And enjoy Shredding!
  • Wow Tirah!! SEVEN pounds in 2 1/2 weeks is amazing!!
  • That's INCREDIBLE results in a short time!! Keep up the great work!
  • kimberlymarie30
    I'm new to the challenge. I'm down 1.2 for the week and an inch off my waist!

  • Woo-hoo!!! Not much feels better than an inch off the waist!! AWESOME! Keep up the great work!
  • Starting off slower than with WW but I'm having much more self-discovery! LOL

    4 lbs in 3 weeks? not sure i'll be able to meet my goal weight. meeting my goal of running a 5K this weekend though! :)
  • Down 1/2 of a pound and 1 1/4 inches. Still shredding...
    http://mommysgreatdeals.blogspot.com/2009/04/mo...

    Had a 3yr old birthday dinner to make. Made it "mexican night" nachos, tacos and my slimming burritos (brown rice, black beans, salsa and reduced fat cheese, baked w/ enchilada sauce for more flavor). Dessert wasn't cake or cupcakes to tempt me but still was yummy. I layered bite size pieces of angel food cake, strawberries and lite cool whip. It was a hit, low-cal and I didn't feel guilty at the end of the night.
  • I weighed in!!!

    http://www.real-life-adventures.com/2009/04/wei...

    It's been a hell of a ride.
  • Well...up one...which means back to square one. Poop. :)

    I didn't know about this week's challenge and yet, miraculously, I had a yogurt for breakfast! Go me!

    I'm BAAAAAAACK!! :) I know you all missed me. I had to take a few weeks to decompress after the 15th.
  • I posted to my blog - http://www.gohncrazy.com/2009/04/sisterhood-wee...

    I'm actually up a partial pound after week 1, but I've lost 2 1/2" which does still give me a sense of accomplishment.
  • down again! I should probably start the 30 day shred again....

    I'm up .3 from last week but I will not be discouraged!!
  • christine
    Again another week remaining the same. UGH! I know it is better than a gain, but I really need to lose.
  • Don't get too down on yourself! Is there anything you could change up a bit?
  • Back to square one. After missing last week and not exercising at all the past week and a half I am back to where I started. A little discouraged but I know it is because of choices I have made. It would be different if I was trying my hardest and was still at square one, but I haven't been. Here is my post:
    http://tatertotsnfries.blogspot.com/2009/04/wei...
  • I'm down 2.2 lbs! I haven't been shredding with Jillian but I think I may start this week. http://tinyurl.com/dy4qwf
  • Thanks to EVERYONE who commented on my blog last week!!!! I didn't log in, and didn't realize people were reading it and commenting -- I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T RESPOND!!!!

    ANYWAYS, I am down ANOTHER 4 lbs this week!!! WOO-HOOOOO!!! I have reached GOAL #1 -- Get out of the 250's! And now I'm on to Goal #2 -- Get out of the 240's!!

    I forgot to mention previously that since I started WW in January (I didn't find the sisterhood till Feb) I have now lost 30 lbs! I wanted to put a button my facebook page (I don't have a blog) but there isn't one for 30lbs. Can you make one? Thanks!

  • Very slowly losing!
  • Losing is losing! Keep it up!
  • Losing slowly is the best way to do it!
  • Sittaholic
    according to the scale in the gym I've lost 1.8kg (almost 4 pounds), but I have a feeling it's actually less. I'm going to my nutritionist tomorrow and then I'll know the accurate number.
    anyhow, it feels great to finally shed a little weight, after WEEKS of stepping in one place or even gaining.
  • I have been in the same boat! Up, down, up, down... This week feels great!

    Way to go!!
  • Great job!! Keep it up, you'll get it figured out!
  • Sittaholic
    YAY! I weighed today and I actually lost 4.5 lbs (2+ kg). I made a littke happy dance around my nutritionist's office. and I lost one percent fat, too! I'm overjoyed. thanks for the support.
  • Since there are only 3 weeks left will the challenge start over? I just had a baby, and started walking last week. Now I am looking into other things too, and I was looking into doing the 30 day shred. Can I join any time?
  • i'm just unoffical peeps around here, but you're welcome to start whenever you like! at the end of this 8 week challenge, i'm sure our fearless leaders will have a new challenge in store for us!

    congrats on the new baby and happy shredding!
  • We will have something wonderful in store after this challenge, but feel free to join in any time! Everyone is at different spots, I haven't Shredded the last 5 days myself due to injury-type stuff, but I may just do it all again after this 30 days! Just shoot me an email if you would like to join us - melissa@shrinkingjeans.net

    Congrats on the new baby!
  • Join us!

    Congrats on the baby!
  • I gained. Infact, I'm back to my starting weight. And almost to the point of giving up.

  • I'm new around here - been following for a couple months, but just re-started my own "get healthier" blogging. Started shredding last week, so late to the game, but onboard with my own day 8 of Level 1. I weigh-in on Mondays, so here's my update for this week:

  • Pam
    I lost 5lbs...woohoo! I haven't blogged it yet because my hubby just got back from England; will try to tomorrow, but had to share really quickly. Maybe he should go out of town more often(just kidding!)
  • FIVE pounds! Great job Pam!
  • That's awesome! Congrats!
  • Kelly
    I do weigh in Mondays... might have to switch to Wednesdays - but I took off 8 lbs last week! It's amazing how it feels to be 8 lbs lighter! I'm doing a lot of unconventional exercise - dancing it off, hiking it off, classes at work, walking instead of driving for errands... there are so many things to do other than the dreaded treadmill :)
  • I hate dreadmills too! Whatever you are doing, keep doing it! EIGHT pounds! WOW!
  • Wow that is a rockin' loss! Congrats and keep up the good work!
  • JenniferM
    Started 4/1 at 183
    Last week 179
    this week 178

    Going down, which is good, not as much as I would like especially after watching Biggest Loser last night, 11 lbs in a week people, my god.

    Anyway, wrote a blog about how work is killing me, Check it out, may be someone out there who has the same schedule as me and still gets in the workouts, help!!!

    http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journa...
  • Jen - I am sure it's got to be tough with the deadlines and long work days! The weight is coming off though - so you've got to be doing something right! Good job, girl!
  • That's a great loss! Don't forget those folks on BL are working out at least 8 hours a day! It's their job! We all could lose that much in a week if we worked out that much!

    Keep up the great work!
  • kathleen
    lost 1.5!
    starting level 3 today -- holy jumping?!!!
  • Great job!

    I know, right? Level 3 = hard!
  • I weighed in. It's not pretty. Read all about it.

    http://bacardimama.blogspot.com/2009/04/weigh-i...
  • I blogged!

    http://lacklusterlife.blogspot.com/2009/04/big-...

    No weight loss for me this week, but at least I didn't gain. That's good, right?!
  • Dear Lord,

  • Love ya, girl!
  • The scale says that I lost 4 lbs this week!!! YEAH!!! That puts me at 154! I was 158 when I joined your group!!! I did not make a post of workout etc... because today IS MY BABY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! But I will be posting next week! Cheers to a great week!!!
  • Woo-hoo Danielle! Awesome!

  • Awesome loss!

  • darnold23
    Down 1 pound. Not much but down:)

  • A loss is a loss and that's great!
  • Staying the course, shredding on, dude.
  • shrinkingjeans

    Love you girl!

    C.
  • No time to blog yet today. My weigh-in is the same - no gain/no loss. Will blog Thursday or Friday @ dalewis2.blogspot.com. :o)
  • Oh no, I missed Wed Weigh in! Oh well. I will still post it.

    I was down 3.4 lbs my first week of shredding. I actually only shredded 5 of 7 days though. This week I haven't been able to be so committed so I fear my next weigh. Stayin postive though!

    I don't blog about it just yet because I do better when my family doesn't know I'm trying to lose! lol
  • Better late than never...

    Down 2#!! YAY ME!!!

    http://a-woman-of-moderation.blogspot.com/2009/...
  • Sorry I didn't get over here to comment, but I did weigh it -- I was up this week (which, hello the 10K made me gain???) but I started my period today so I'm thinking I'll blame Aunt Flo. Just keep on keepin on!
  • Laila
    Ok here's my dilemma...maybe someone can help me out. I'm a medical student, which equates to the fact that i sit inside my room ALL day and study seven days a week. I'm too tired to cook and I don't have the time either... I'm broke from all my medical school loans so I can't exactly "hire" someone to make me healthy meals or go to fancy places like Panera everyday. I'm only able to go grocery shopping once every two weeks because i have classes six days a week and tons to study on the seventh day too. And i get hungry frequently since I cannot stress how much studying i do and that makes me hungry. I have a long family history of diabetes so i'm afraid if I don't start eating healthier I have a very high chance of getting it. Please help.
