Weigh-in Wednesday – Shrink Into Summer Challenge, Week 4

[ 100 ] 04/22/2009 |

shrinkintosummer-1Can you believe we’re halfway through the Shrink Into Summer challenge? Yes, it’s true, we have 4 weeks left! Four whole weeks to meet your goal, and you can do it!

You know the drill! Hop on your scales, blog all about it, and come back here with your link. Did you struggle this week? Did you triumph? Tell us how you’re doing. Be real, be honest. This journey is hard on so many levels-physically, mentally, emotionally-and it’s important to keep a journal of how you feel each week so you can go back and realize what’s worked for you and what hasn’t.

Are you Shredding with the Sisterhood? If you are, how are you feeling? We’re now on Level 2, Day 8 and quickly approaching Level 3! Even if you didn’t join us from the beginning, it’s never to late to start the 30-Day Shred. It’s a life changing workout, and you’ll never be sorry you tried it. You might be sore, but not be sorry.

Remember, we have another great weigh-in giveaway this week sponsored by Kim @ Nothing But Chatter! In order to be entered to win, all you have to do it weigh-in and leave your comment here by 11:59pm Pacific time, and a winner will be randomly selected and announced tomorrow!

As always, don’t forget to visit your fellow Sisters and Brothers and give them some comment support and love.

Here’s to a brand new week of Shrinking!!!

    http://graspthelove.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/wh…

    I had an ok week – still struggling to exercise – weight 164 – same as last week
    Pat is at 111.5 – down 1 pound from last week

    We're finally suppose to start getting some warmer weather so hopefully that will help us get moving!

  • http://www.graspthelove.wordpress.com Missy and Pat

    Sorry – Pat should be 211.5 !! :-)

  • SkinnyLisa

    3 lbs DOWN this week- WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://swanvalleytammi.blogspot.com ValleyGirl

    I'm down almost 5# from last week!!!!! WOO-HOO!!! (too bad I had such a set-back over Easter weekend ~ I'm still really just down 3.4# overall for this challenge)

    http://a-woman-of-moderation.blogspot.com/2009/…

  • Adrianne

    Last week's weight ~ 166.8
    This week's weight ~ 164.5

    Down 2.3 pounds….I blame Easter and my total need for having to relearn that I'm no longer eating for two!! This week so far has been meals of convenience (easy casseroles which unfortunately are most of the time high calorie) but starting tonight we're grilling some chicken up with grilled fresh veggies!!! I love that I'm now able to take the kids outside and putting them both in the stroller equates to me pushing about 50 lbs of babies. Hopefully we'll be down even more next week and not so stressed.

  • http://swanvalleytammi.blogspot.com ValleyGirl

    Congratulations!! Sounds like you've done really well this week ~ DESPITE Easter! (wow, I'm all to unfortunately familiar with THAT setback!!) And it sounds like we'll all want to eat supper at your house tonight, too! Yum!

  • http://twolittlevikings.blogspot.com Beth/Mom2TwoVikings

    Just getting back on the wagon and joining in again mid-challenge. My first weigh-in so nothing to report other than the status quo/starting point. Using “The No-S Diet” this time instead of WW for a variety of reasons – gonna see how it goes. Probably gonna come off slower but hopefully stay off for good this time.

    Blogged yesterday about starting back up:

  • SkinnyLisa

    I want to eat dinner at your house tonight- yummy!

    Congrats on the loss!

  • Karissasmom

    I'm down one pound. Considering I missed a couple days of shredding (I know…shame on me lol) and haven't been tracking calories, I can't complain. BUT that means I really need to kick some but to reach my goal in these last 4 weeks! Next week I'll be gone so I don't know if I'll be around a scale to weigh in or not…hopefully that helps to motivate me and not make me go crazy eating whatever I can.

    This week: 251.5

    -5 lbs this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://darljo.blogspot.com/ darl_jo

    i maintained this week. Can't complain though. I'm really lacking in the motivation area. Motivation for excersize. Motivation to eat right. I just want to flop on the couch all day and eat… not good.

    But a bit of a bonus! I can now REALLY claim my 15lb loss button!!! I was holding off to see if it was really true. I've held it for 2 weeks now so i guess it's official!!!!!! Can't wait for that 20lb loss button!!!

  • Christine

    My weight hasn't changed for 3 weeks! I guess I can be glad I haven't gained, but with all my hard work it's kind of disappointing to get on the scale and not have it go down. I am trying to get more cardio in along with the Shred, thinking that maybe usaing the weights has been the cause for no loss. I am only using 1.5lb weights though!! UGH! I don't know, but I'm not giving up. NO WAY!! Maybe next week I can record a loss.
    Last week: 173
    This week: 173
    Net loss: 0

  • shrinkingjeans

    2.3 lbs is awesome!! Great job!

    Was down, but only 1#. Was kinda bummed… but not for long! ;-)

  • http://trulycaptivating.com Susanne Reeder

    I felt a lot like you, today. Worked REALLY hard, and only lost a pound. But I have to see the positive changes I've made as victories… and know that they will eventually pay off!! Rooting for you…

  • http://trulycaptivating.com Susanne Reeder

    Love your perspective!! ROCK ON!!

  • christine

    Not a loss. Not a gain. I really worked hard this and a little disapointed not to see a loss.

    I am down one pound this week, but I'm really struggling with all of this :(

  • http://myweightfight.blogspot.com Vickie

    Things are not going well. I only shredded twice this week and I just got the video last week. So two days is not much.

    I haven't stopped the mindless eatting and Monday I had gone on the scale to see three more pounds. Not even gonna go on today. I am going to pass up today. I am going to start over and weigh in on Next week.

    I wish everybody better weigh-ins today.

    I'm on day 8, level one of the challenge. :)

    Last week 200lbs

    SO HAPPY to be below 200lbs!

    Ho um. Down 1.5 lbs. I know what I need to do for some reason I am just not doing it. ;(

  • shrinkingjeans

    Woo-HOO!! AWESOME! -Melissa

  • catheroo

    I'm trying not to get bummed out about this but I am not losing at all. I'm eating right, staying strict to my WW program, and drinking 2 liters of water a day.

    Ever since I started shredding, the pounds will not come off. I know muscle weighs more than fat, but can I please just lose a pound or two? I'm at a higher weight now than when I started shredding. I'm pretty sure the shred is building muscle, but without it I could be down 5 pounds or so. :-(

    I know the scale is just a number, but I'm spending all this money and effort at WW to *lose* pounds, not gain them. And the WW scale doesn't care about muscle.

    I'm brand new to the challenge (but not to dieting-ugh!)

    I just posted my weight loss this week and what I'm doing:

    Down 1.1 pounds. Small loss, but I'm still happy about it. :)

  • roxymommy

    http://roxymommy.wordpress.com/chunky-monkey/

    I am up a pound… I let PMS get the better of me and had some major ice cream binges! UGH.

  • http://mommymotivation.me Cathy

    This was not a good week in one way. What I didn't post here: http://www.mommymotivation.me/exercise/its-wedn… is that I also quit taking the diet pills that I had started on a month ago. It is embarrassing to admit, but I had caved and bought into the “this pill will make you skinny while you sleep” bit. Unfortunately it was messing with my mental health, so I gave up on the energy that it was giving me, and instead decided to do it the hard way – exercise. I'm feeling really good about that decision. :)

  • http://mommymotivation.me Cathy

    Congrats!!! I'll be doing the happy dance when I get there too! :)

  • http://mommymotivation.me Cathy

    You're still doing great. Despite feeling “ho hum” it would seem that you're not blowing the diet altogether! Keep up the good work!

  • http://mommymotivation.me Cathy

    Bummer. I'm not sure I can relate , my gains are not related to muscle, I'm quite sure of it! ha. But if you're doing what you know to be right, then keep at it! Don't get discouraged! You do what you're supposed to do, treat your body well, and let the body look after itself.

    Perhaps a doctor or nutritonist could help if this lasts for a long time…

    but congrats on sticking to your eating and exercising plan – that's amazing!!

  • http://mommymotivation.me Cathy

    I hear ya! :) Thanks for posting though… keeps us honest, and helps ME to feel better about gaining too! I'm not the only one that struggles with this process, and we just pick up and keep on keeping on, ya know?

    Nice to hear from you this week!

    Hi I'm new this week. :) My name is Kelli. I just posted my starting information on my blog which you can find her –

    http://www.gohncrazy.com/2009/04/sisterhood-of-…

    I did day one and it was brutal, but I'm optimistic. It's 20 minutes. I can do this. My chest, back, and shoulders are KILLING me today. But I'm hoping in a few days that will ease up. I'm gearing up for workout number 2.

    Thank you all for the motivation to get started!

  • http://nothingbutchatter.blogspot.com/ kiminia

    I am up 2 from Saturday & down 2 from last Wednesday (I think-if that makes sence) but I am not letting it get to me :) I can be back down those 2 & more in a week …. esp if I push it as I begin Shred level 2 today! eek.. scared & excited.

    here's my blog today:

    welcome Kelli!! stick it out. the first few are killers but it does get better.. & then there's level 2 LOL j/k :) welcome!!

  • roxymommy

    Good idea… they make it seem so easy with the pills, don't they!? Unfortunately there is no quick fix… so not fair! ;o) Hang in there!

  • http://mytotalbodymakeover.blogspot.com/ LaDonna

    I'm down a pound this week.

    156 last WI
    155 today

    I've been doing great with the exercise (Shred, no/Gym, yes) but I haven't really put 100% toward my eating. My hubby pointed out that all I'm doing is cancelling the other out. I hate it when he's right! I really need to get with it!

  • http://kcrules.wordpress.com Jennie

    I didn't blog today. Mainly because it's my hubby's bday and I blogged with a nice note about how great he is! but, also because I totally forgot to get on the scale this morning! I honestly doubt I lost any weight. Last week I was 153 and I'm pretty sure I am the same. Not too good with the exercise this week. Have bailed on the shredding, but plan to start up again after my 10k race at end of May. The good news is I had a really fantastic training run this past Sat. of 3 miles. Looking forward to another good one this weekend. I will pick back up with blogging and posting my weight next week I promise!

  • Christine

    The same thing is happening to me. Since I started shredding I haven't gained, but haven't lost either! I do feel stronger, and my clothes feel good, but it still would be encouraging to see the numbers go down! I have started doing extra cardio on the treadmill to see if that helps! Good luck, and don't quit!!

  • http://www.iwannab120.blogspot.com Tallie

    I am feeling better about things this week. At least I am down!
