November 2 - New You by New Years weighin

Good Morning, everyone,
I held steady on weight this week, but I did lose 1 cm on my hips.  Considering the weight loss last week, I am thrilled to have maintained this week.

Starting: 202.6 lbs / 114 cm Hips
Current: 195.4 lbs / 109 cm Hips
Delta-Week: 0.0 lbs / 01 cm Hips
Delta-Total: 7.2 lbs / 05 cm Hips

Tonight is the last night of my 12 week TEAM Weight Loss program at LifeTime Fitness. So, there will be an official weigh-in and 3-pt caliper BMI calculation.  It looks as if I will come in at a weight loss of perhaps 15 pounds, but I know that my BMI has dropped dramatically.

Favorite fall/holiday memory.  Hmmm, that would probably have something to do with building things in the snow.  During part of my childhood, we lived at the end of a street that had a holding pond.  The snow plow would push all of the snow to the end of the street, stopping shy of the pond.  I built the most incredible snow cave in that monstrous pile of snow.  And, when I wasn't playing in the snow cave, I would shovel off the little pond so my little sister and I could go ice skating on it.

Aloha all,

Well... I have been a little inactive for reason or another this past week or two for one reason or another. Some is family stuff but I have found motivation hard this week especially.

So (take immediate action young man!) I booked in for a body fat test and bp at the Gym and I am looking to get a HR threshold test done by a cycling coach and perhaps get a cycling coach into the bagain. Hope to have that sorted by next week.

Having said all that you'd expect me to be reporting bad news this week.

Wrong!

I just as surprised as you!

Weighed in at 194lbs this week! Achieved target for challange. Blow me over with a feather. Not sure how I did that with my lack of exercise this week. Look to see if I post up next week though. I'm expecting weight loss to start slowing now but wonder if I could get to 180 for Xmas?

I did awful in secondry goal for last week so I will run it next week and we will perform much better I promise. I found the Testing inspirinng as I had BF measured at 25.6%. I expected it to be higher and of course weighed in at 194. BP was normal.

Fav winter memory is sitting on the end of the pier at Kona. We are going back this Xmas but this time I will have my two boys with me as well as my wonderful wife so looking forward to new best memory. (Oh yeah taking mother in law too! Am I nuts?... Don't answer.)

Argh!!! I was so excited to post YESTERDAY!  I was about 177.5 yesterday morning but sabotaged myself with the leftover candy, so...

Start weight 181
Last week 180
This week 180
Loss - big fat zero... sigh.

From the beginning I went down a little, up a little, back down a lot and now back up again.  I really am working on it though.  Since I was down yesterday though and am packaging up the candy to send to work with my husband, I expect to post a loss next week.

Secondary goal - let's not even go there this week.

And finally, favorite Holiday memories - I have an old one and a new one.  As a child, my family would go to my grandparents' for dinner - and one Christmas when it was just me and my folks (brothers were gone that year) we all sang carols in the car on the way over.  It is the first time I remember my father singing - still brings tears to my eyes but I'm not sure why.  The new one is two T-givings ago when my folks and my hubby and kids went walking after T-giving dinner - cold crisp night and lots of conversation - it was just a very nice evening.  As I'm typing I'm remembering more, but I'll stop there. 

Good job everyone!

I'm at 178 today, down a pound!  I'll take it, since I didn't work out as much as I'd wanted to and sneaked a few candies.  But my secondary goal of not eating the kids' food went ok.  Not perfect, but improved.  I think for this week I will continue that goal and add in drinking my gallon of water.  Due to a really bad week + of no sleep to speak of, I was having a hard time staying balanced.  Got some rest last night so hopefully will have a better week all around.  I have a lot of exercise planned, and am doing the November challenge of an Oly per week which ought to keep me in line.  I did reach my October team running challenge goal, in fact, went over by 20%!

Favorite fall memory--I just love the crispness, the change in the light, the leaves.  It feels like the beginning of a new year for me--it's usually when I am more apt to stick to goals and look at the year ahead, as opposed to the traditional January 1.

I was going to avoid posting this week, since I've fallen completely off-track.  I dare not go near a scale...so just give me a bye week and I'll keep my 247 from last week.

 Favorite fall memories are playing football, seeing the windows fog up in my parents house as they cooked Thanksgiving dinner, my BDay (Dec 22), bombing cars with snowballs, and bumper skitching!

Start Weight: 164.8

10/26 weigh-in: 157.6   18.1% BF

11/2 weigh-in:   156.4   18.4% BF

weight change this week: 1.2lbs

total weight loss to date: 8.4

 secondary goal: No; bodyfat % increased

I'm actually kind of surprised about the weigh-in this week as I havn't weighed myself in a couple days.  I ended up re-injuring my IT Band last Friday and havn't worked out since other than stretching, foam-rolling, and some lower leg PT exercises.  I have been good about bringing lunch to work everyday and eating sensible dinners nightly.  Body fat % went up slightly so maybe I'm dehydrated and didn't really lose and real weight this week.

 Overall really happy though as we are one-third of the way done with the challenge and I'm half-way to my goal.

Same weight; however, I did start swimming this week, which is 1 of my secondary goals.

I have a lot of fond holiday memories.  My family was forever getting together. 

128.5 this week; 127.5 last I think which makes me up 1. This tends to be a sticky weight for me, and it's been a bad week for working out and eating, with all the traveling.

I didn't meet my secondary goal (no workouts at all!).

It's back to working out this week- I can tell the difference in my moods, as well as my waistline.

We take our kids apple and pumpkin picking every year- it's a family ritual and one of my favorite times of year.

206 this week and NO I did not meet my secondary goal

next week much better

I'm a day late in posting....so here goes.

Last week: 164 lbs this week 165.5 lbs.  I know it it going the wrong way but I was really bad this week with my eating. I could blame the Haloween candy but it was me who ate it. I'll be better next week. I met all my goals this week except the healthy eating one.  Everyone have a great weekend.

Chris

down to 301. 

Loss of one pound since last week.  The secondary goal is a no.  problems with our internet, I can only squeeze so much in at work.  I guess my favorite holiday memory would be Christmas day at my parents house.  We would wrap presents for the dogs (bones and toys), then let them open them.  They would be a little timid at first thinking they would get in trouble for ripping into things, but once they got past that it was all you could do to keep them out of the other presents.
