Shrinking Days of Summer, Weigh-In #4

[ 120 ] 06/24/2009 |

Hello Sisters and Brothers! Do you know what today is? Why, it’s weigh-in day, of course. Did you step on your scales yet? No? Okay, go run and do it real quick and we’ll wait.

{waiting patiently}

Okay, good, you’re back! How did it go? Is the number smaller than last week? We hope so. So get your butts over to your blogs and post about it. Tell us how you’re feeling about your weight loss right this very minute. Is it easier than you thought? Harder? Do you feel like you’re spinning your wheels? Why? Do some soul searching and share it with your fellow Sisters and Brothers. Someone else may benefit from what you have to say. If you don’t blog, tell us how you’re feeling in your comment.

Did you see the Leaderboard last week? Our top 3 teams are Lime, Sage and Yellow, and they are neck and neck. We have 4 weeks to go, so there’s still time to buckle down and dethrone Team LIME!! Way to go, Team Lime, we’re proud of y’all!

Speaking of teams, how are y’all doing? Are you keeping each other honest? Helping each other out? Pepping each other up? We hope so. Nothing makes us happier than to think we’re helping you make connections that will help you reach your ultimate goals.

Team Captains, please email Christy (christy@shrinkingjeans.net) your team members’ weights today by 10 p.m. Central time. Weights, please, not losses or gains. If you’re missing someone, just go ahead and send what you have!

A couple of things.

  • Did you see this week’s weigh-in prizes and sponsors? It’s good stuff!
  • Don’t forget to check out our sponsors page. We have so many wonderful peeps who’ve donated some amazing prizes for all of you Shrinkers. Show them some love, k?
  • If you do not weigh-in for 2 consecutive weeks, we’re gonna have to remove you from the challenge. So make sure you don’t get eliminated and WEIGH IN! K?
  • Make sure to and check your fellow Shrinkers’ blogs if they’ve posted a link. They need your support as much as you need theirs. For real.
  • Did you know that over there on the far right are links to the Sisterhood Contributors personal Shrinking blogs. Boy, that’s a mouthful. Anyway, be sure to keep an eye on them for new posts. Brian has been posting away about his vacation, hospital stay (glad you’re okay, man), and his success at getting back on the wagon. Check it out and give that dude some love. p.s. Brian, get us a damn picture of your handsome face. You’re wife is a photographer, right?!
  • And last but not least, keep up with the SHRINKING!!!!!

    This wasn't great at all since coming back from vacation where I consumed many fruity, sugary, alcoholy, drinks. Not good! Honestly I was pretty surprised that I gained so much. I am up 2.5lb for the week, but will be back into the 130's next week for sure. I'm done with the 140's!! http://www.melsboxofchocolates.com/2009/06/weig

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    Good job!

  • TammyIsBlessed

    Well, apparently last week's 1 lb weight loss was not weight loss and just normal weight fluctuation. Brings me to a total of only .2lb (which is, in reality, nothing) weight loss for 2 weeks of shredding every day. Frustrating.

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

  • Bari_F

    I'm just getting started with Team Peach. My starting weight is 165.8. Check out my blog at http://diaryofashrinkingchick.blogspot.com/ and help keep me motivated.

  • http://jiggles.airynothing.com/ barb_at_jiggles

    I maintained this week…I'm at -2 for the challenge, -19 overall.

    Not really surprised, since I was out of town last week interviewing, and my schedule was not really up to me. Plus, I didn't work out once last week…bad me. But, I'm back on the wagon this week, with a fridge full of fruits and veggies and two days of shredding behind me.

  • Bari_F

    If you've been shredding for 2 weeks, you are probably gaining some muscle and the weight loss will soon catch up as your muscle starts burning more fat. Don't get discouraged!

  • http://thesassymama.blogspot.com/ Heather at Mama Sass

    Up this week, but had some good insights and am feeling more motivated!

  • lilsum

    Wow, there is a lot of good weight loss this week! Great job ladies. I am down from 140 last week to 137. No thanks to diet and exercise, me and my family has been sick for weeks.

  • http://healthyweightlosskitchen.blogspot.com/ Theresa

    Hey everyone! I am part of the new peach team and ready to get started…and get to know some of you! I am starting at a whopping 243.0…and quite ashamed to say it “out loud” in “public” and all that humbling stuff.

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    Hope you and the family start feeling better, Summer!

  • Christy_TheSisterhood

    A LOSS!! I had a loss!! I'm so excited, considering I was on vacation and started my period this past week!

    WOOOHOOOO! Go TEAM RED!!!!!

    http://www.real-life-adventures.com/2009/06/shr

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    Theresa, we are glad to have you join in with us! The first step is being able to admit the “number”, but just think, from now on it will be going DOWN!

  • http://lovingmom2boys.blogspot.com/ Liz @ Loving Mom

    Tammy, When I started shredding I didn't lose much either. I could feel a difference in my body, though. I was so much stronger!! Keep up with the shredding and I'm sure the weight will start coming off. Don't lose hope girl!! You CAN do it!

  • gabriellekrake

    Hello

    It's Gabrielle from Team Khaki. I have reminded everyone to come post their result, I'm hoping team Khaki did fantastic. Personally, no weight change. So a big “0″ for me even with working out everyday except Sunday. Oh well, that means twice as much next week, right?

    Good Luck everyone!

  • TammyIsBlessed

    Thanks for the encouragement you guys! And, yes, the measurements are improving, which is great. A visual improvement of SOME sort definitely helps the motivation to stay high!

  • http://www.imadramamama.wordpress.com/ Thea @ I'm a Drama Mama

    Up a pound this week…

  • http://lifeofmine.net/ Priscilla

    I remain the same this week again! I am holding steady at 129 and I think I may have hit the dreaded plateau. I am going to really work hard this next week and eat better, drink more water and do whatever I can to lose next week!!

  • http://twitter.com/sekritdiet Em

    Down a pound :]

  • http://embracingtheordinarylife.blogspot.com/ Dawn

    Having trouble with that first pound…ugh..I'm at 169.1…Next week I'm bringin it big time…Watch out Lime…our team is coming after ya…

  • http://dalewis2.blogspot.com/ Audrey

    I'm running solo here (i.e. no hubby tonight) so my post was short and sweet. Bottom line = no change. Posted here: http://dalewis2.blogspot.com/2009/06/weigh-in-w

    I need desperately to reach down inside and find the motivation to get me going again. As I'm slowly gaining back the almost 10 lbs I had lost. If anyone has any words of wisdom please visit my blog or email me at dalewis622 @ gmail . com (no spaces).

    Thanks, gals.

  • SkinnyLisa

    I'm out of town this week visiting my friend. I weighed in on her scale but it says that I lost 2.5 pounds. Given the fact that she told me that her scale is not accurate, and the fact that I have been enjoying myself while here, plus I started my period, I am almost 100% certain that I have not lost 2.5 pounds from last week's weight. I will claim that I have had no change and will weigh in for real next week.

  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting

    Good job everybody!!

    I lost 2 earlier this week only to gain it back by weigh-in today, dammit lol I think I might be bloating in preparation for my first post-partum period since having the baby, because I've noticed I've been craving crazy things, too, all of a sudden. I don't want to plateau again, so I'm upping my workouts and getting a tad more strict on eating healthier. I'm also upping my fiber intake!

    C'mon Team Fuchsia!

  • Kathy

    I am on vacation without my scale. That may or may not be a good thing. I am trying to eat lots of veggies! Go Team Khaki!

  • TChapm99

    I'm down 3.5 pounds this week. Still trying to get back to normal food after my surgery. I'm enjoying the major weight loss but hate doing it this way. I'm so hungry for regular food!

  • gabriellekrake

    Yea, Kathy. I hope you are having fun!!

  • Lorraine

    Hello,

    I'm Lorraine from Team Khaki, down two pounds to 128 and loving it. On my way back to 122. At 56, I have found I do better at a much leaner size, it's easier on the joints.

  • http://moreontheotherside.blogspot.com/ punkinmama

    Unfortunately, I didn't lose any this week. Hoping my progress shows up (or not) on next week's weigh-in.
