Shrinking Days of Summer – Weigh-in #6

[ 89 ] 07/08/2009 |

Good morning ladies and gentleman!!  Gather ’round, it’s Wednesday, and you know that what means!  That’s right, it’s weigh-in day!  How’d you do?  For those of us in the States, how did your holiday weekend go?  Did you do good?  Bad?  Talk to us!

Okay, you know the drill.  Go get on those scales.  Remember, good or bad we are here for YOU, so we want you to tell us about it!!  So, after you weigh-in, go to your blog and just let it all out.  Then get back over here and leave us a link to your post in the comments!  Also, don’t forget to go leave your fellow brothers and sisters some comment love!

Did you check out the Leaderboard last week?  Team Sage is still in the lead!  Teams Orange, Purple, Lime, and Fuchsia round out the top 5, and let me tell you guys, it is possible for any team to take the lead, even though we’re nearing the end of the challenge!  So, buckle down teams!  It’s go time, and I know you can do it!

TEAM CAPTAINS:  Please EMAIL your team members’ current weights to Christy (christy@shrinkingjeans.net) by 9 p.m. CENTRAL TIME.  We don’t want any teams left out, so it’s extremely important that you get your team results to us AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, k? Thanks!!

Hey!  Did you check out our prizes from our sponsors this week?  Awesome stuff there, my friends!!

And are you subscribed to us?  How about twitter?  Following us yet?  Just do it!  (Okay, that was lame, but you smiled, admit it!)

I hope everyone has a great day!  Good luck this week and shrink away!

Category: Weekly Weigh-In

About april: I'm a brand new cyclist! In just a few short months, the sport has reminded me that it's all about the journey, and I need to enjoy the ride. I live with my two dogs and two birds, and love to spoil my nephew. Oh yeah, and I'm 32. View author profile.

    I wish I could report that I lost but unfortunately that isn't the case. :( Thankfully though it is only 1 pound that I gained, could have been so worse.

    Weighing in this morning – it's coming off too slow for me to feel much progress but the scale is reading -5 from when I started.

  • cerealkiller

    Down 1.8 pounds to 182. I haven't been this close to the 70's for a long time! Almost there. http://gabeandkristina.vox.com

  • http://werallnuts.blogspot.com/ Tracy F.

    Hi everyone,

    I was 148 and I am down to 143. So that is 5 lbs. Although I seem to be stuck here. Very frustrating.

    I hope everyone had a successful week. The holiday weekend definitely hurt me.

  • http://bacardimama.blogspot.com/ Nancy

    I'm so glad this is up early today. We are off to a Cubs game soon and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to post the good news till tonight. I won't be able to do an actual blog post till tonight, but the good news is I lost .09 pounds (again) and earned my 10# badge. I'll get that tonight too. I'll come back tonight and link my post when I get it done!

    Ugh. Evidently I was worse on vacation than I thought. Up this week to 171.5. I WILL be back in the 160's very soon!!!

  • http://www.youravon.com/mdickey slimbyjanuary

    Down three pounds from last week – I'm on a roll. FINALLY – Before I found Shrinking Jeans I was at 175 and am now at 162 and I thank you so much for this challenge. It keeps me motivated and accountable since we are on teams.
    I have appointed myself the “Jillian” of the Lime Team and am going to be relentless in keeping us on track. When they slack off I say – Hey, don't beat yourself up – thats MY job and then I let them have it. Do they like it?? – don't know…but we'll see what happens at next weeks weigh-in…..LOL. GO LIME TEAM!!!

    Seriously, I don't know how you GAIN 3.1 lbs in one week except by literally strapping cheeseburgers on your rear end. And I didn't even EAT a cheeseburger this week. Boo hoo.

  • http://www.myweightfight.blogspot.com/ Vickie

    Well not good. Gotta get off my butt!

    Weirdest thing though, when my blog gave me that I posted successfully, an ad was there and it was Jillian telling me she wasn't going to take no for an answer. Startled me:)

  • Amy

    Luckily, no gain. But no loss either. I have to renew my commitment, it seems.

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    Wow Amy – you are off to a wonderful start! Great job!

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    I had a SIX pound gain in one week last January. AUGH!

  • ladybugs714

    I hear you, I have ate and drank much more in the past and lost weight….I think the planets must be out of whack today or something! I'm up 2.4 myself….so I feel your pain.

    Go Team Sage!!!

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    I think you are expecting too much of yourself right after a major surgery!! Patience, my dear… concentrate on healing! Love ya!

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    That's pretty much maintaining. ;o) I bet you love to hear that, huh?

  • http://roxymommy.wordpress.com/ MitaKay (Melissa F)

    1.6 lbs down this week to 171 even. Major family drama going down so I haven't had time to blog about it yet!

  • http://kcrules.wordpress.com/ Jennie

    Gosh, I've been so out of it lately! I was on vacation all last week. Totally forgot to weigh in today or blog about it :( Not doing so well on this challenge. Will try to pull myself together over the weekend. Congrats to all who are continuing to kick ass!

  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting

    No gain, no loss. AGAIN. I'm disappointed, but to be honest, I'm just grateful it isn't a gain. I just got the EA Active, so I'm gonna take my frustrations out on that.

  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting

    Happened to me once. Went to the doctor because I thought I was dying gaining 4 lbs IN A DAY and they told me I had to “use the facilities”, if you catch my drift ;) So drink tons of water, and perhaps a tad more fiber. That could be your issue, I know it was mine.

  • http://www.mommysgreatdeals.blogspot.com/ Proud Mommy

    Finally the scales have budged!!!!! Down an entire pound!!!!
