Shrink-a-versary Weigh-in, Week 6!!

[ 73 ] 12/09/2009 |

Alright, ladies and gent(s), it’s Wednesday so you know what that means!

Glee is on tonight!

No wait, sorry.  That’s not why we’re here.  Silly me!  We’re here to weigh in!!

Go jump on those scales and then come back and tell us how you did.  Do you have something to celebrate?  Did you have a major revelation?  Next week is our last weigh in!  Do you need to make that final push to meet your goals?

While I was watching the Biggest Loser Finale last night, I let out a huge AMEN! for Rudy’s comment:  “It may not come off 10 pounds at a time, it may not come off 50 pounds at a time but it does come off.”

That’s the gist of it folks!  If you do what you KNOW  you are supposed to do (and all of you…and me…KNOW what you are supposed to do), it doesn’t matter how much you lose a week or how quickly you lose it.

All that matters is that it’s coming off.

So take those .2 lb losses and cheer!  DON’T MAKE EXCUSES FOR WHY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE! You lost, and that’s what’s important!

And if you gained, you probably know why you gained.  Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start again.

You CAN do this.  You can.

    Well, I weighed in at 145 this morning. I think that's down from last week. I've been so busy with school I haven't really kept track of my weight, but I have been exercising!

    Let's go team! That said. I'm going to wait to step on the scale. I am afraid I'll discourage myself SO I'll do it Friday after I finish this good week I've had. Okay? Sometimes a jump up makes be be all peanut butter jelly time. And I can't have that.

    Sorry I haven't been very responsive, but I have still been working…I started this challenge at 275, and this last weigh in, I hit 269.8 for a total of 5.2 pounds for this challenge. But, more importantly — I HIT MY 100 POUNDS LOST MILESTONE!!!! Here is the post:

    morning all!! :)

    I'm at 86 miles for the challenge.

  • BrookeF

    that's awesome that you've been able to keep up with your workouts even with a busy schedule. great job!! :)

  • BrookeF

    isn't that the oddest thing. i'm exactly like that. you'd think the scale going up would mean we'd dig deeper and work harder. but nope. for me, i think “crap, if i'm gonna be fat i might as well fill up on good stuff” and of course by “good” i mean complete crap with not an ounce of nutrition.

  • crookedeyebrow

    down 3# this week
    can I get a WOOT!!

    (woot)

  • reneeakacutiebootycakes

    After my 8 lb loss last week, this week I stayed the same. I am very happy about that since I usually get bloated this time of the month. I blogged about it here http://cutiebootycakes.blogspot.com/2009/12/ope…

  • kay6672

    up one, and I totally deserve it: http://www.ohlssons.be/karena/?p=475

  • http://www.babytealeaves.blogspot.com Christie O.

    Hi! I'm the same, still a balmy 134 and I'm pretty freakin happy about it actually! I'm finding the balance this holiday season, something I've never really done before. Happy day! Happy weigh-in Wednesday everyone!

    I lost but I consider it a “false loss”. Oh well, at least for this week, I look awesome- HA!

  • http://www.babytealeaves.blogspot.com Christie O.

    86 miles, awesome! I think I'm at 40-something. shoot. i'm way behind!

  • http://www.babytealeaves.blogspot.com Christie O.

    OMG THAT'S FREAKIN AMAZING! WOOT!

  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans

    I am so proud of you for keeping up with the exercising even when busy- good job!

  • bwJen

    it is amazing that you are able to maintain & lose while in school! Part of the reason I am where I am (or where I was a year ago) is because of school! Working full time and going to school full time is enough to kill a person!!

    I am proud of you!! Keep up the good work and you will accomplish all of your goals!

  • http://www.hopeslifeadventure.com Hope

    Still hovering at a 5 lb loss for this challenge… no great losses in the last couple of weeks.

  • http://www.thekrumwiedesix.blogspot.com Kristin @ OneCrazyMamaof4

    FINALLY a loss… I am down 5.1 lbs THANK GOODNESS… I don't think my mental status could have taken another gain. I am currenly 238.2 lbs which is my lowest for the challenge… http://thekrumwiedesix.blogspot.com/2009/12/wei…

  • http://www.thekrumwiedesix.blogspot.com Kristin @ OneCrazyMamaof4

    Congratulations :) It is never easy to keep it together (and exercise) when we are busy… GOOD JOB!!!

  • http://www.thekrumwiedesix.blogspot.com Kristin @ OneCrazyMamaof4

    AWESOME!!! I am so proud of you… This is amazing… WAY TO GO!!! Keep up the amazing work!!! ROCK ON!!!

  • jmiller2

    This morning's weigh in = depressed. I'm so mad at myself for not sticking to anything remotely healthy this past week. I'm up 3 pounds :(

  • bwJen

    I don't know if I will get a chance to blog about today's weigh in – BUT, I am down 1.4 since last Wednesday. I am loving the extra accountability of weighing in with you girls on Wed and weighing in at my WW meetings on Saturday. I am using the WW scale as my official weight but it was nice to see 191.2 on my scale!! I am so close to the 180s!! I havent been this weight since I was pregnant (my daughter is now 10)!! I added 8 miles this week but I am not sure what my total is – I am just taking one week at a time!

    love & luck to all!!

    <3 J

    congratulations!!!

  • http://www.thekrumwiedesix.blogspot.com Kristin @ OneCrazyMamaof4

    you can get a WOOT WOOT from me that is for certain! Way to go

  • http://www.thekrumwiedesix.blogspot.com Kristin @ OneCrazyMamaof4

    you are maintaining in the holiday season… that is a WIN in my book!

  • http://www.thekrumwiedesix.blogspot.com Kristin @ OneCrazyMamaof4

    a loss is a loss in my book :) Hope everyone feels better soon

  • http://www.thekrumwiedesix.blogspot.com Kristin @ OneCrazyMamaof4

    I too have found that getting to weigh in with the sisterhood has made me a bit more accountable for my actions and my weight. I also know that now that my blog is linked to facebook that ALL my friends can see the numbers, so it is important for me to make sure those numbers go down… HUGS YOU WILL BE IN THE 180s in NO TIME…and then out of them too :) Keep up the good work girlie

    I'm so glad I read your post before I wrote my post. I had a .2 loss from last week and I was feeling disappointed, but then I read your post and was encouraged that I had lost weight this week. Thanks for the post, Thea!

    Down 3.2 this week to 197.8. Post here: http://dalewis.blogspot.com/2009/12/shrink-vers…

  • themelodramatic

    Last week was 153.4. This week is 152.3. I had gone up a tad last week and took it down 1.1 for this week. So far, on track for maintaining over the holidays. I'm happy with that! I'm still exercising nearly daily so I'm patting myself on the back. :)

  • themelodramatic

    good job! i know your schedule is just as or even more busy as mine. :)

  • themelodramatic

    That's great! :D

  • themelodramatic

    That said, I'm really only down a pound since the challenge started. But this is the time of year where I gain at LEAST 5 pounds. Maintaining? ROCKS for me at the moment!

  • themelodramatic

    Don't be too discouraged. It was one week and its in the past. Just pick yourself up, don't dwell on it and move on. :) Make today the start of healthy again! :D

  • rwilson

    I am so excited to report I am down 3 lbs. this week. Total lost 10 lbs. I forgot to report last week…oops! I do have it on my blog though. I have so much more energy going to Curves and walking on the treadmill. This was my best week yet! So pumped!

  • http://www.juliadphotography.com/ Julia

    Down 2.6 this week :) Just started back at Weight Watchers 2 weeks ago (this was my 3rd weigh-in) so I'm happy about it.

  • http://www.juliadphotography.com/ Julia

    You took the words right out of my mouth!

  • sarahdjones

    Have an AWESOME shrinking week :)

  • http://christy.shrinkingjeans.net Christy_TheSistherhood

    Congrats, Rhonda :) I'm so excited for you! What an AWESOME way to swing into the Christmas season, for sure. And 10 pounds total is so great. I'm so, so proud of you and so happy you joined us.

    Keep up the workouts and you'll be shrinking your way through the holidays :)

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    Great job, Becca!

  • Bari_F

    No gain, no loss (still 160.2), but also zero, nada, zip exercise. Let's see why: Wed-advent service at church, Thurs-daughter's diving meet, Friday-snowed in (1st snow day for the year-I cleaned the house), Saturday-niece's 2nd b-day over 2 hrs from home, Sunday-daughter's gymnastics meet (took 1st in all 3 events-my girl rocks!), Mon-twins band concert, Tues-final diving meet of the year, Tonight-blizzard warnings but took my daughter to gymnastics practice. We are all hoping for another snow day tomorrow. Maybe I'll be able to throw in a dvd :)

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    Yes! Finish out your awesome week and keep us posted! ;)

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    YAY, Jen!! That is so awesome! Keep it up, hooker!

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    I think maintaining over the holidays is pretty dang great!!

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    WOW!! You are doing *so* aweosome!! Yay!

  • http://www.whooosthatgirl.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

    Julia! That is fabulous! Way to go!

  • SJs_April

    You maintained during a super busy week, and that's great!! Good luck this week!

  • tiffanyzook

    No loss, no gain…. Here is my post: http://zookhappenings.blogspot.com/2009/12/wedn…

    Celebrating the victory of a continued net loss for the challenge that happens to be at the most challenging time of year!

  • http://christy.shrinkingjeans.net Christy_TheSistherhood

    Congrats on maintaining, girl! With all you have going on, I can see why it's hard to fit anything else in!!! As much as I LOATHE getting up earlier, I think for the next few weeks I'm going to try and get my workout with EA SPORTS Active in as soon as I get up. That way it's done, and I can get all the rest of the stuff I have to get done, DONE!!!

    Good luck this week! I hope you find some YOU time :)

  • Bari_F

    Thanks :) We managed to get our snow day today, so I'm getting ready to throw in a dvd. Diving season is now done (my daughter didn't make the finals-needed 8 dives, she has 6 or 7) so that will free up some afterschool time for me now. Plus, only 1 more week and then we are off for Christmas Break. Maybe I'll be able to hit the gym a few times a week. Also, don't tell the kids, but they are getting a Wii for Christmas and their mom is gettting the EA Sports game – woohoo! I wish I could break it out now :) I've thought about trying to get up early and workout, but I'm soooo not a morning person! Might have to become one, though.

  • Bari_F

    I'm with you – no gain at this time a year should count as a loss :)
