Rethink Your Shrink::Week 1 Weigh-in
Rethink Your Shrink is about changing from the inside. It’s about looking back so that you can move forward by changing the present. We will re-evaluate our eating habits, our patterns, our obstacles and our activity levels. We will take with us what worked in 2009 and dispose of what didn’t.
Good morning SISTERHOOD! It’s weigh-in day, and we’re dying to know how your first week of Rethinking Your Shrink went! With this year so newly upon us, it’s hardly time to slack off, so we’re expecting to see some great losses.
So run, don’t walk to your scales (you know because you can burn some extra calories that way!). Hop on and peer down at that number? Is it shrinking? We hope so. We truly do. After you give yourself a HUGE pat on the back, let those fingers fly across your keyboard as you blog about your weigh-in, how you’re feeling about the challenge, and anything else you might want to share. Don’t forget to grab one of our fancy challenge buttons to add to your blog while you’re at it. I mean, who wouldn’t want one?
If you’re just now finding us, please don’t think it’s too late to join our challenge. It’s never too late, and we love newcomers! You can read more about the challenge here, and be sure to check out our first challenge post from last week. The short of it is we weigh in on Wednesdays, blog about it, and link up here in the comments section. Then we all go around and give each other some Sisterhood support. Easy-peasy, no?
On Mondays during the Rethink Your Shrink challenge, we have a fantabulous feature, that may or may not include homework, called The Monday Project. It could be about taking a look back, taking a look forward, or just taking a look at yourself. No matter the subject, it’s going to be a wonderful way to help YOU Rethink Your Shrink and become a healthier person from the inside out. Be sure to check out this week’s project here, and remember that “homework” is due on Fridays!
Because sometimes we forget and need a swift kick in the ass, we JUST announced our Biggest Shrinker for the Shrink-a-Versary Extravaganza challenge AND the winner of the Globetrotting with the Sisterhood challenge last night! Please make sure to congratulate your fellow sisters for all of their amazing, hard work!
In case you didn’t know, The Sisterhood hosts a Last Chance Workout twitter party while we watch the Biggest Loser on Tuesday nights! We start at 8 p.m. central time and go all the way till midnight for you west coast peeps! Be sure to join us and get your last chance workout in before Wednesday Weigh-ins! Follow the Sisterhood on Twitter, look for the #biggestloser hashtag, and join in the torture fun!

I weigh in on Saturdays at my WW meetings – I was up 6 fucking pounds last Saturday but I have been kicking ass and taking numbers the last few days!! I am following my workout and food plans awesomely! my blog & chores are not being given quite as much attention but oh well! I am working on me! ;-)

LOVE YOU GUYS!! keep up all the good work!!
Turn your red light on and get to work!
Do numbers on the scale ever lie?… perhaps sometimes they do. I did things right this week, but somehow a gained 1 pound! I'm not sure how, because I really felt like I lost weight and was totally expecting a report on my digital scale to validat this. My middle section even looks like I lost a bit of weight this week. It can't be the muscle vs. fat, because I really didn't work out this week to build muscle. BUT I did eat healthy, and drank better amounts of water. HUMMM? I'm hoping for a better report next week.
last week: 154
this week: 155 <+1 gain>

I was late to join, and now I'm late to post my weight too. http://www.armstrongadventures.blogspot.com (down 2 to 139.2!)
I was up 1.8,(228.8); hadn't really started the challenge, but I am fully on board now. http://projectitaly.blogspot.com/2010/01/first-...
http://thehood.shrinkingjeans.net/profiles/blog... – a little late for my post, but I weighed in on Tuesday. Not any great loss, but a loss none the less!
Lost one pound this week- right on target!
I started walking, and have 2 out of the 3 MINIMUM days I promised myself. 3 miles each day. I will get on the scale when i get home, but wanted to keep up with posting here :-) We can do this!!I
Crap- I forgot to weigh in yesterday! No gain, no loss though!

You can mark me down for one pound lost for week #1!!! I didn't get a chance to stop by yesterday… but I will have you know that I have been working out!!! and HARD!!! Great job everyone!
I'm so excited. I lost 3.2 pounds this week! Thanks for all of your support. :)
Better late than never.. I am down 2.8 this week. Overall total of 8.8
Down 2.5-ish, since 11/30.
I don't have scales here, I normally weigh in at a TOPS meeting but it was cancelled so I went to Curve's and the last time I weighed in on their scales was 11/30.
But my goal on that day was to be there the same or down after the 1st of the year!
Posted my loss early in the week. Just not able to get in a blog posting. I weighed in this week at 202.2 http://mndorsey.blogspot.com/2010/01/reshrink-y...
Ok I realize after adding my link I have the”think” and the “shrink” backwards!!! OMG! Must. Go. To. Bed. Now!!!! Nite.
Sorry I'm way late with this, but better late than never, right? (Wednesday was a bit crazy for me).
This week I'm up 1.7 (after losing .6 through the holidays), which is disappointing because I was tracking all my points and exercising well all week. Still, I'm not going to get discouraged, because my effort will show up on the scale eventually.
