Rethink Your Shrink::Week 3 Weigh-in

[ 98 ] 01/20/2010 |

HOLLA Sisters (and brothers)! Good Weigh-in Wednesday morning! We’re so happy to see you beautiful, shining face (and your bed-head)!

You know the drill!

Run, don’t walk, to your scales right now! Strip down, pee, and jump on. Did the number go down? Did it stay the same? Go up (ugh)? No matter what the number did, we want to hear about it! We don’t give ‘no weigh-in passes’ here at the Sisterhood. We want to know how you’re doing every week, even the not-so-good weeks. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

So head over to your blog (if you have one) and get it all out. Don’t forget to grab a button, so you can link up with The Sisterhood, and then come back here and leave the link to your post in the comments!

If you are just finding us this week, it is never too late to join our little Sisterhood!  Are your jeans too tight? WE WANT YOU! Are you interested in getting fit? WE WANT YOU! Are you just looking for the coolest place on the internets to hang out? WE WANT YOU! Jump in right now, and check out the current challenge, grab one of our nifty buttons, and then get blogging.

Don’t forget to check out the Monday Project this week. Christie’s really making us take a good look at ourselves this week. Fo’ shizzle in the hizzle.

Also, we have a couple of great giveaways this week, and they end TODAY.

  • This one may or may not involve chocolate.
  • You’ll want to win this one after you indulge in too much chocolate!

So that’s it! Get thee to your scales now. And don’t forget to share the love with all your Sisters!

Have a totally RAD shrinking week!

    I lost 1.8 lbs this week. :)

    FYI, I started keeping myself accountable to Mel (The Melodramatic) and I think that has really helped!

  • http://christy.shrinkingjeans.net Christy_TheSistherhood

    Becca, That's AWESOME!!!!! I love that you and Mel have teamed up and are keeping each other accountable! I encourage other sisters to do the same!! :)

  • http://swanvalleytammi.blogspot.com ValleyGirl

    Well, I'm down, but not as much as I'd hoped. Had a bit of a brain-fart this week; was aiming to reach my lowest pre-Christmas weight today, but thought it was 155.8. Realized a little too late it was actually 154.8!! Nuts.

  • knitsalotjenn

    http://offhook.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/rethink… down 3.6 this week! It's about friggin' time! Woo Hoo!

  • purrfect
  • JennyGirl

    I only went down 1/2 a pound this week. I was hoping for a bit more. :(

  • purrfect

    1/2 a pound is still half a pound less! You're workin it girl, keep at it because those 1/2lbs add up to a great loss over time!

  • daenel
  • http://knitwitcooks.blogspot.com Prairieknitwit

    Down 2.4 this week.

    Doing a happy dance!

    Who knew menu planning and exercise would actually work?? (ok, I did….)

  • Cunningmom

    Hi everyone, this is my first time here! I'm up 0.9lbs this week :( crap, BUT I'm re-focusing and getting it done! And I'm sure Shrinkingjeans will help with that! I'm gonna check out the site in more detail shortly and put the button on my blog!

    Great job, Brian!!

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

    Good morning, sisters!! I have maintained, still at a balmy 133, but that's the good news since I've been sick since, oh, DECEMBER! LOL
    So my progress and my news (for those of you who didn't see it on Twitter last night. And no, I'm not pregnant.)

  • BrookeF

    ps – if anyone has any good stress relief pointers i'd love them. running usually helps, but now it seems like an hour or two after my run i'm back to where i started.

    how can one person have so many personal victories, and still contemplate giving up?

  • BrookeF

    chin up – its happening, just more slowly. and for the long run slower is better. consider last week's activities and see what you can do to amp up your efforts.

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

    yay brian! woohoo!! birthday party heaven(hell) is rough, so congrats for losing!!!

  • http://pancakes318.blogspot.com mommyp

    Last Week: 255.2
    This Week: 253.4
    Loss: 1.8

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

    still, you're in the right direction!!! so good for you!!! congrats!

  • http://pancakes318.blogspot.com mommyp

    A half pound is still a loss though! Still something to celebrate. We all have those weeks where we lose just a little, maintain or even gain. Don't get down on yourself.

  • jmiller2

    Well, ladies, I had to use my weight from Monday instead of today as I landed myself on crutches after falling down some stairs. I stayed exactly the same this week. No gain. No loss. Since working out will not be in my immediate future for awhile, I will definitely have to stick to my diet hardcore!

    Awesome job Lisa!

    Hey Christie. Once again, I cannot comment on your blog, bah-humbug! I am SO impressed that you are going for the gold- THE MARATHON. And how fun to do it at Disney. Just when I think I will catch up with you fitness-wise, you take it to a whole 'nother level. You rock girlfriend. Hope you feel better soon- you need to kick those nasty germs to the curb.

  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans

    Hi Jamee! I couldn't comment on your blog either. Not sure what is going on but it must be on my end! I hope you ankle/foot heals nice and quickly. I have done this before and it just plain ole sucks. Regardless, you have to take care of your body and keep positive about the whole situation. Like you said, at least you didn't drop your laundry! Hugs.

  • mitakay

    Ok, I forgot to weigh in last week… and I was up 4. But this week I am down 2.2 from last week.

    My scale hasn't moved. So…yeah!!? but also…Hmmmm.. wondering what more I need to do to kick it up. Today is a day to refocus and figure it out. :D

  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans

    Hi Daenel! I'm having all kinds of problems comments on actual posts today- not sure what is going on with my computer. Anyhoo, I just wanted to say…..I'm doing the happy dance with you. Woot, woot! Good job on the loss.

  • Tobey13

    I'm down too! Way to go everyone on your losses!

  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans

    A loss is a loss. Just keep doing the things you know you need to do and the weight will come off. I'm proud of you for that 1/2 pound loss.

    a half pound kicks ass! don't forget that we're only in week three, these things take time! bodies take time to get the idea! you're doing great!!

  • http://oppositelife.blogspot.com/ Pubsgal

    -.6 this week. My swim was a recreational one vs. a lap swim, but we were on vacation 4/7 days during the past week; otherwise, met my goal of run and bike. Was a little short on my workout mileage, given that my left hamstring was tweaked after BodyPump last week. Definitely didn't meet my food goals–didn't track over the vacation–but guess I did well enough.

  • spbray

    Forgot to weigh in here last week. Was still dealing with my cold from Hell, but am back on track now. I am down a total of .4 from the beginning of the challenge. (I had gained during the first week).

  • Bari_F

    I lost .6 this week! Down to 157.8 (another decade). I have some questions posted to the sisters in my post (totally unrelated to the challenge, but I need some advice). If you have a chance, please check it out. Thanks!

    Any loss during vacation is AWESOME. Good job.

  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans

    Hey, any move in the down direction is a good move, regardless of how it happens : ).

  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans

    I cannot stop laughing at your new “name”. LMAO. Can I call you that IRL? In fact, I'm running next door and saying it to your face : ). OK, maybe later tonight! Love it. You can call me Lisa Spice if you like.

  • Lisa_ShrinkingJeans

    OK, the joke is on me! I can't view your post. Says I have to be “invited”.

    I gained a pound… but that's totally my fault. I ate like a pig and barely worked out last week because I had family in town. It was GREAT!! :P
    I'm getting back into the grind tonight… and I still have to be proud of myself for the 4 pounds I've lost so far.

    Sure feels good to be seeing some progress!

  • http://www.alberts-family.blogspot.com/ danielle

    Lost one of the three I gained last week….. getting cycle must be bloated. I worked out this week and tried with the eating… that is a work in progress!!! I think I am going to attempt the thirty day shred again just to change up my routine a bit…. that might just be what the doctor is ordering for me! No post again this week… no time… to tired… and want to spend time with my crazy 21 month old son in the evening when I get home from work :)
