TEAM SKINNY "Its a Mystery" 08/01//2007 weighin

Wow, mystery month sounds complicated!  Weigh-ins any day?  Glad you're the one keeping track not me. :-P  I'm also glad b/c I refuse to accept the 209 on the scale this morning.  It's been sort of a bad week, but not that bad.  I've just felt hungry all the time and even though I've been trying to make good snack choices apparently I haven't been doing too well....I've been above my last weeks weight all week. 

Since I've reached my last goal it's time to make a new one.  My goal for the end of August is 199.9.  I can't think of anything I'd like more for my birthday (Aug. 31) than for my weight that morning to start with a 1.  Anyway, I'll update tomorrow with my hopefully much lighter weight.

hey: maintained at 151.5

i'd like my goal to be 149 still. i'd LOVE to get under that but this way i should hit my target. oh also i'm off to get bloods done to see if my thyroid is playing up. mystery indeed!  

thanks for all the hard work saling! 

Last week: 161.0

This week:  160.4, well down a little but I am ready to see the 150's again! I am starting a weight loss challenge with a few of my early am workout partners so maybe that will help me get to my goal weight of 157 by Sept. 5. That might be slightly higher than my original goal, but I am getting a little more realistic as I watch my weight. Getting to that weight would be a huge accomplishment for me so I will keep slowly plugging away.

I have you guys/gals down in blood so you better hit your goals.

Lil T:  I see 1's in your future,  keep up the good work.

MsCullen:  Looking good and good luck on the 19th and have fun.

Comet:  Go out and buy a pair of 36" AND you WILL get into them.

Sappho:  I hope bloods come out okay. 

Last: 207.2

This week: 207.4

At least that's mostly maintaining, so I'll stick with it for this week.  I think I'm definitely hitting a plateau though.  I weighed 205 for years, including pretty much all of highschool so it seems to be a place where my body is pretty comfortable.  Getting below that means going back to weights that I haven't been since my early teens! (I got big early....)  I'm still going to try for it but I have a feeling things are about to get really frustrating....

197 yesterday, and that plus a decimal number today (although I didn't weigh properly today).  If I post my "best" for the week, it's usually Monday morning after my long workout on Sundays, but that's probably not accurate as I regain the lost lbs. again by Wed. or Thurs.  I'll try to use fact-based numbers, though.

I definitely ate more these past few days and nights as I'm constantly hungry.  For example, while I would normally have only had one serving of mashed potatoes and hamburger patty (expertly prepared by Texmom), I had two helpings.  That was on Tuesday night.  On Wednesday, I was working all day and ate lunch at a small town restaurant with the client.  Best damn chicken sandwich I ever did have, homemade buns, slathered in "sauce", cheese, etc.  I didn't finish the fries, though, as we each ordered the pecan pie.  Oh what a pie.  Homemade, fresh and hot with homemade whipping cream on the side.  It literally melted in my mouth with each bite.  Then, since weather had closed the pool (my swim was one of my justifications for the pie), I made spaghetti and meat sauce for dinner and ate a heapin' helping.  I did get in a run last night and only had 1/3 of a beer afterwards.  I've been eating well.  Lunch today is leftovers from the feast the other night.  Chicken breast, mashed taters, onion and basil for fun, and my usual yogurt, cheese, and strawberries.  I have to split this lunch into dinner, too, as I have a night meeting and don't want to hit the burger joint on the way up again.

*drools*

anybody else think we should ban dblack *cough* people from posting how delicious their food has been recently?!?

having said that i am meeting graycat from this site for curry and beer tonight

lil: i am hoping to hit 147 soonish and then back down to 144 but in my dreams i am hoping to get to 139. HUGE dreams!!!! i know i will get all the support i need from team skinny and i am sure you will as you see those 100's

oh and saling: the nurse said my asthma meds were the culprit so has switched me back to a more normal one. fingers crossed...good she didn't take blood, i would've gotten drunk on one pint of cobra tonight (as opposed to the 1.5 pints!!!) 

DB:  SHUT UP!!!

Lil T:  I am SOOOO looking forward to seeing you in the 1's

Sappho:  Glad to hear no blood.  Hope this allows you to balance your P's & Q's. 

This is what I have as of now.  Please correct me where I am wrong.  I have learned to take direction from women well...LOL.   Have a great weekend.   I gave DB a handicap.

Wait!  Don't forget about me!!

I was mired knee-deep in studying for the two exams to upgrade my Microsoft certification (which I passed... whew...) and literally didn't have 10 minutes in the day to myself, pretty much.  I was VERY afraid to get on the scale when I got home... the reason I gained weight in college is because I find it impossible to stay awake and study without snacking.....  but, here's my weigh-in (drumroll, please).....

Last: don't remember, probably 134?
Today: 132

Apparently stress burns calories.

You can change my goal weight to 129, please.  I'll just keep trying to inch it downward, bit by bit.

Texmom - how's the food logging going??

I haven't posted b/c I am still the same 135.

When we got back from our backpacking trip I was 130- but, I know now that it was dehydration. (probably)

My 20th highschool reunion starts next Friday so I don't think I will get to my goal.

Great work to all of you. I love checking in to this thread
