Tis the Weigh-In Before Christmas…

View Comments 12/23/2009 | april

I know what you’re saying….WHAT?!?!  A weigh-in the week of Christmas?!  Can’t we have a week off?

No.

Look, I know that we are ALL busy making sure everything is in order for when you get that visit from Santa, I have been, too!  (Yes, I still believe in Santa.  Don’t judge.)  But even though we’re all super busy, now is the time to be accountable.  Sure, you’re going to have treats.  It’s Christmas after all, but now is the time to be mindful and to not go too wild and crazy with the fudge!

So. Go right now, harumph yourselves on into the bathroom and onto those scales, harumph your way back, and let us know how you’re doing!  Give us the good and the bad!  We wanna hear it!

Then have yourselves a very Happy Holiday and don’t forget we have a new challenge starting NEXT WEEK!!!

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'm up two pounds and I am not the least bit surprised. I'm also not going to beat myself up over it. I'm not even going to blog about it. I know why and how it happened. I'm even thinking that next week could be bad too. I'm looking forward to the new challenge and the new year and the end of the holiday parties. We had four this week! That is crazy. So, have a very Merry Christmas ladies. I love you all!!! Especially you hookers. You are the absolute best!!!!

  13. Tobey13 says:

    I also want to add Congrats to everyone in their efforts whether you lost, gained, maintained or whatever. Tough time of year but we all deserve some credit for trying! Enjoy the holidays, hookers!!

  14. anng says:

    It's VERY UGLY!! and I'm not surprised. I will blog about it when I get back from Alvin!!! Let's just say I am no longer in the 180's!!

  15. I weighed in at 143.3. I'm thinking it's my mom's scale being super nice to me, but I'll take it! That's down at least two, maybe three pounds from last week's weigh-in! Woohoo! Of course, I have my work cut out for me with bon-bons and all sorts of other goodies. eek!

  16. Of course you shouldn't beat yourself up. You know what you need to do to get back on track :) Enjoy your holiday!!!

    Oh crud! I forgot today was the day. We were at the airport first thing picking up the MIL. 207 which is up 1#.

  18. Pubsgal says:

    Happy Holidays, everyone!!!

    I finally broke down and started using a free calorie tracking app. While the initial setup is kind of a pain (the database for it never seems to have my stuff), now that I've got my regular items in it, I love it and am finding it very helpful, especially with all the baked goods. Down 1.2 pounds this week, logged 11.21 miles (tracked, that is…might be a few more with the walking and BodyStep class).

  19. PamsOnAJourney says:

    Sorry, but I am too big of s wuss to get on the scale right now – between baking and being sick I KNOW I am in for a very ugly gain, and I am looking forward to the 26th as my official NO MORE EXCUSES day to begin again! Merry Christmas to all of my sisters in the meantime, and I will see y'all on the new challenge!!

  20. babyboy3 says:

    I don't have time to blog today but I will tell you I am down 2 pounds from last week. I lost a total of 8 pounds since the start of the challenge but who knows what will happen next week after Christmas. Have a great Holiday. Can't wait for the new challenge.

  21. BrookeF says:

    well you're gonna break it into so many pieces it can't be put back together and you'll have to toss it out never to be heard from again…or something like that :P

  22. BrookeF says:

    tru dat! :) we're still here so we haven't completely abandoned ship. hurrah us!

  23. BrookeF says:

    that sucks…but its not permenant – just a min holiday setback. Merry Christmas! And come back next week ready to kick serious booty!

  24. BrookeF says:

    Merry Christmas to you! What a gift from your mom's scale ;) j/k i'm sure it was related to all the hard work you've been putting in.

    right?

    right??

  25. BrookeF says:

    looks to be an off week for most everyone. but we can't let that get us down!

  26. BrookeF says:

    woot!! :) congrats – this is a tough week to manage a loss. great job.

  27. BrookeF says:

    woot for no more excuses!! :)

    Merry Christmas!

  28. BrookeF says:

    that's incredible for this time of year…way to push yourself! :)

  29. Bari_F says:

    I'm down 1.2 to 159.8. I just keep bouncing back and forth around the 160 mark and I hate it. I'm not going to blog today because it will just end up a bi*ch fest, and noone wants that. I'm just disappointed in myself. A couple years ago, I was 139 and in a size 8, now I'm 159 and barely fitting into size 12s. Needless to say, I am working hard to literally get my butt in gear. I've stepped up the workouts (2 spin classes, 2 dvd workouts, and a 3 mile walk this week), but tracking food is what kills me. I'm looking forward to the new challenge and opening up our wii on Christmas morning, with my copy of ea sports-woo hoo!
    Merry Christmas and may God bless all of you in the new year! Thanks for being there.

  30. BrookeF says:

    Merry Christmas to you :) good job on the workouts. hopefully as the workouts continue your body will start to crave the nutrients in good foods. that's what i'm hoping for me at least…hasn't started working yet.

  31. misty1975 says:

    I am down 3.4 total of 7.4. I'm sure the Chrismas cookies will catch up with me next week though :)

  32. Lisa_ShrinkingJeans says:

    Better late than never, right?!
