Shrinking Days of Summer: Weigh-in #7

[ 56 ] 07/15/2009 |

How’s everyone doing?

Today is weigh-in day. Aren’t you excited about stepping on your scale and seeing if you had a loss for the week? Yeah, yeah, I know it’s difficult to get excited about this stuff sometimes.

I know a lot of you are doing SO WELL with your weight loss, but I for one, am struggling just to maintain and not gain. Of the 7 weeks of this challenge, 4 of those weeks I have been out of town or had guests at my house. It has been a REAL challenge to lose ANY weight. I’m not making excuses….I’m just sayin’ it’s been a real problem for me.

Go ahead though. Bring that shiny hunk of stainless steel (or plastic) out, strip down to your skivvies (am I the only one who weighs as close to bare skin as possible?!), and weigh yourself. Go ahead. Do it now.

I’ll wait.

Aren’t we having FUN?!

Post your results on your personal blog and let us know how your week went- the good, the bad, the not so pretty for some of us. It’s OK. This is a loving, suppotive environment and we are here to lean on one another. Make sure to leave the link to your post in the comments section of this post. Everyone who weighs in will be eligible to win a giveaway of beautiful, handmade jewelry by our very own Steph of Team Sage.

Team Captains, make sure to have your team’s weights (not how much each person lost, BUT how much each person WEIGHS today)  to Christy by 9pm Central Time.  You may email her at christy@shrinkingjeans.net.

Good luck and Go weigh!  Don’t forget that this is the last week of our challenge.  Kick it into high gear!

About lisa: I'm a runner, duathlete and future triathlete. I love to cook, drink margaritas, socialize with friends, and I laugh with my entire body. I'm the mother of three kids (ages 8, 6 and 3.5), I turn 40 years old in 2012, and I'm trying to find a peaceful acceptance with my body. I am slowly coming into my own, finding a true passion with empowering and motivating women to conquer their fear of the unknown when taking up running for the first time. View author profile.

    Dang it, it's taking me FOREVER to earn my 20# badge!!! I'm SOOOO close, but I've been “so close” for a few weeks now. Oh well, I'm still gettin' closer ~ down 0.4 this week. Next week I should be the proud owner of an updated badge!

    I gained 0.2 lbs this week, which in light of circumstances is rather good. Plus, I had an awesome non-scale related moment this weekend:

    GO TEAM BRONZE

  • craftgirlalli
  • roxymommy

    For the record I weigh-in completely naked, after I go potty and before I even have a sip of coffee. Don't you know all of those things weigh a pound each!? Heh, ok not really but that's what I tell myself when the scale is being mean.

    After a week of sickness and drama I managed to maintain… no loss no gain. I'll take it! 171 # this morning.

  • Christy_TheSisterhood

    I'm out of town this week (visiting Lisa), and I'm not weighing in. Her scale doesn't like me and tells me I weigh about 1,700 pounds more than my scale says. Whatevs.

    Anyway, we're eating good and trying to stay active. It's not really too hard with 5 kids between the two of us!

    Congrats to everyone on their losses this week! If you didn't lose, don't worry. Today is a new day and it's never too late to turn it around!

    It's a great step in the right direction – don't put down that one pound…it's gone now!

  • OneCrazyMamaof4

    240.8lbs this am… which means I am down 1.2lbs :) That being said, I am frustrated on several different fronts with it, but hopefully the funk will go away soon

    I've been really out of the loop lately! I did write a post today and you can find it here: http://kcrules.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/exercis…

    No loss. No surprise. I was on vacation for over a week. I'm holding steady at 151 lbs for pretty much this entire challenge.
