TEAM SKINNY (Oct 09) Another New BOOginning (Page 5)

This is seriously becoming like Ground Hog Day! Same weight - 272lbs!!

I just don't get it. I mean I rode 100km on Sunday, I have put in a couple decent runs this week as well and what I don't log is the walks I do of an evening with my wife (typically 45 mins a time). How can I not change weight!?!
I'm beyond upset about losing weight, I'm not evening changing weight!

I could maybe understand if I was only a few pounds from my ideal weight but I am almost 100 pounds from my ideal weight so there should be some movement - heck, there should be huge movement!!! WHAT IS GOING ON!?!

Talk about frustrating.....

I understand it is frustrating, but at least you know what your real weight is.  My weight fluctuates wildly from one day to the next.  It's crazy.  I don't have any realistic expectation of any weight loss this week (didn't make it to WW today) and have run almost every day, walked a whole bunch, swam, and have carefully followed a hybrid Zone/Paleo diet.  It doesn't make any sense. 

I am the same as last week.

193 - I'm up a few ounces this week and up almost 3 pounds since the start of the month.  This is the group that is trying to gain weight right? 

UGH!  I've got to get it together!!! 

Hello All, so went to my family doctor with my legs USG results to discuss my options and she didn't list to half of what I was saying, she seemed to have problems locating my incompetent veins and then said she doesn't really know and that I should see a vascular surgeon. And all that for €50. Did I mention I spent an hour in the waiting room? Oh yeah the only thing she said was that I might hold off with the compression socks until I see the surgeon as they might be cutting off my circulation around me knee - that much I suspected myself since the socks I have been using are bit too long (even though they're my size). Got home about 7.45pm - tired, hungry and upset.

This morning I went to the gym trying to relax a bit but it kinda had the opposite effect. See,for the past few weeks I've really busy and today is no different so the only time I could do something was before teaching (startning at 9). So I was in the gym at 7am sharp all good to go. Did 15mins on the cross-trainer and 20mins on the bike followed by quick stretching. Started various showering and changing activities by 7.50 and was out the door by 8:25. And I should feel good about it - I got up at 6.20am to do this (and it's pitch black at this time over here) and I really put effort into it- but I feel really down. Like it was worth nothing because my trianing and then changing took me approximately the same amount of time. Like such a short workout is pointless and does nothing (even though according to my Polar I burnt 300kcal). Am I being too hard on myself or what?

Also forgot to weigh in this week (so far anyway) - will set a reminder in my phone for tomorrow morning.

Have a good day!

Sorry I haven't had a chance to weigh myself so I will do it tomorrow.
Looks like everyone is great!! Keep it up team!!

I'm at 146.6

I haven't been moving every day, I really need to wake up before my kids and get the job done.

Yes I think I am working out a LOT more than last year - in terms of hours and more so in terms of intensity. Also I think I am more dedicated. A lot more. Thanks for pointing that out.

Also one nice thing happend today - somebody told me that I've lost lots of weight and that it's really noticable. More so she said that I look as if I lost about 8kg (which is approx. 17lbs) and I swear I didn't ask her. I really lost 4kgs but happy that it seems more.

Sorry I missed the weigh in. Both kids home all week with the flu. (Doc say's not H1 N1! "Thank God"!)
291.5 last week.
289 this week.

291 last week
288 this week
Missed yesterday from driving out to Albany and back, going to be tough to drop 13 in 2 weeks... hmmmm maybe a steady diet of crack will get me there.

I can't deny this fact Sailing. I am feeling better and I am still getting comments about my weight-loss, and that's from people who see me regularly. Like this morning on my bunch ride. I was third in one of our sprint points, which I was very proud of, and there were comments like "we need to start bringing muffins for this guy each morning so he doesn't keep losing weight and smashing us in the sprints!"
I felt fantastic hearing this. These guys are noticing my weight-loss and my improved performances and I see them almost every other day. But the scales are not reflecting the change and it's hard for me to stay positive about my achievements when the only real measurement I report on is weight change - and there is nothing to report, despite all the hard work.
Don't get me wrong, I am not about to give up. A little success right now would be most welcome, though.

So thanks to a reminder I set up in my phone I can report my weight this morning:
last: 70.1kg
today: 69.6kg

Slowly moving into the right direction.

Ok so I FINALLY got weighed in this morning and I'm at 162. Kinda p*ssed that I went up in weight but what can I say besides; I better work harder these next few weeks....
Keep up the good work teamies!!! You can do it!!

For the second week I have missed WW.  Since I use that for my weight here, and not my home scale, I still have to use 140 as my weekly weight.  But I doubt if it would be significantly different at WW anyway since I seem to be fluctuating between 139.2 and 141.2, although the last two days have been under 140.  So, I have hope. 

Yeah, I know.  I don't think I have ever missed two weeks in a row of WW.  I go to a meeting near my office and the last two Wednesdays I have been out of the office.  Since I didn't think I was going to show any weight loss, I didn't lose any sleep over missing.  I still don't think I am going to show a weight loss on Wednesday, but I will be in the office and will take my pudgy self over there and just get whatever news they want to hand me. 

Maybe I should get a court card that REQUIRES me to attend WW weekly. 

Hello

Great week for me

Down 3 pounds to 255.

The secret this week 

No college football tailgating!

Didn't get up for my 7.15am spinning class - buuuuuuuu! Feel so disappointed with myself.

That just might do the trick. 

And, for what it's worth, I don't have a whole lot of interest in health care reform, as it is currently being discussed, until HEALTH is part of the equation.  I don't feel like paying for diabetes care and triple bypass surgeries and such for people who could have prevented needing such treatment.
