Weekly Weigh In Thread
 

Is anyone interested in doing a weekly weigh in? We can all weigh in at the end of the week (on Fridays?) and I can make a spread sheet and post it on Saturdays. We can do it in 6 week increments.

That way we can all track our progress in one place and not have weights here, there, and everywhere. I have done 2 biggest loser contests in the past year and liked the feeling of accountability every week. It kept me on the straight and narrow knowing I had to weigh in on Fridays.

If anyone is interested, post your weight today and I will log it all in. We can encourage each other through our Ups and Downs!!

Fridays are my weigh in day, so that would work great for me!

This morning I was 167.2

Goal weight is 150.

I had gained some weight from overeating nuts!! But now have it down to 11 almonds a day. I should be alright now. I was at 169 after the gain, so I am coming down again. YAY!

I forgot to put my weight today- 183.4

Sorry, I didn't see this yesterday! 191lbs today, down from my starting weight of 203lbs I am happy to say! This is a really good idea, I will change my weigh in day to a Friday and look forward to seeing the results :)

Kathie and Gal, Got you both down. It's not too late if anyone else wants to join us! Just post your latest weight and I will log it in. The next weigh in day will be next Friday-the 15th.

Hi Tess- Glad you joined us! I added you to the list. Sounds like you are doing a great job! Have a good week....

Please add me on!
 

Newbie weight Friday 01/22/10 186

Great idea, good motivation to get through the weekend! :)

Please add me in...I was 246lb on this past Friday.

Me too! (please?)

My current weight is 213.5...

This works for me because I had already decided to weigh in on Fridays.

Hi - can I join too please? As much motivation as possible is good! I started 2months ago at 176lbs and am now at 166lbs as of this morning. :D

This is great! We have 11 people. Everyone's weight is recorded for the first week on post #9.

Id like to join weigh in also..I'm new
 

started last year @ 263 ..got off track for awhile..now I am at 238..just trying to get back into the swing of things :-) a weekly weigh in would sure help:p

The more the merrier- got ya annagail.

I started at 205 and am now at 193. The weight came off fast at first, and is now a little slower. It will be nice to be held accountable for my weight. Please add me as well, 193 on last Friday. Thanks!

Newbie
 

Fri 1/22 - 212
Goal is 165.

Doggiesnot and Haarvik- Welcome! Got you both logged in.

Me too please. I'll change my weigh-in to Friday. This will help me be more accountable. I've been logging my food for the past week, but need to get my butt moving on the treadmill, & I don't want too, so I can log activities too.
I hope I can find this thread again, & it doesn't disappear into computer land, not to be seen again. I have a bit of a problem with technology, LOL!!

starting weight 265 1/10/2010
261 1/22/2010
goal weight March 5 250

Need2lose- Welcome aboard! Don't worry about the thread disappearing. If it scrolls off the page I will bump it back up to the top on Friday so we can all weigh in!

just joined site and I'd like to join in the friday weigh ins as well
.... quit smoking 24 days ago and now must get the weight under control as well... 210.5. goal is 150..

Got ya Jessie. Great going on the smoking. I have smoked for 29 yrs and I just am not ready to give it up. I keep thinking one day I will but I just haven't reached that point yet. Kudos to you!

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.

I wouldlike to join in as well. I currently weigh in at 157. I've been stuck at this weight for about three months now so I'm recommitted to entering in everything I eat and getting back to exercising at least four times a week. I weighed in at 230 lbs when I started about 18 months ago. My goal is 143!

We have 17 people now! In case anyone missed it- the starting weights are listed on post #9 of this thread (page 1). I can't wait until Friday to see how great everyone has done!!

Right there with you

Great job on quitting smoking. I quit over ten years ago and haven't had cravings for almost as long. The first couple of months are the worst, especially as you accommodate your habits, in addition to the nicotine cravings. But it's a great step toward your overall health. It does get easier. One thing I always said is that there's nothing beneficial about smoking (no vitamins, health benefit), and since it's a carcinogen (causes cancer) there's no reason to do it. I also liked the philosophy that you can still take that break five minutes every hour! :D

Williams45- got you added! Be sure to check back in on Friday :)

I smoked for 29 years as well and have just decided that enough is enough. If I am going to changed my lifestyle to be healthier, then how can I justify smoking as well. I wore the patch for the first day and that was it, my husband sells electronic cigarettes and I will use that once or twice a day. I had to change my eating habits with this as I do not want to gain ANY more weight! Gave up alot of things that go hand in hand with smoking such as coffeee and alcohol sooo off to a new year and a new lifestyle!:-)

Too late to join?
 

Is it too late to join? I've been looking for something like this to get into but haven't yet found it until now. I have just started to get serious about my weight loss. I am a 26, male, 6' 2", 323 lbs. I am hoping to get down to a weight that begins with "1" anything after that would be great!!!

I would love to join too!!

My last weigh in I was 230. I want to be on onederland!!! I would like to be there by July 13th (that is when my baby's first b-day is). So 199.5 is going to be wonderful! In total I want to get down to 175 which is 55 pounds.

Haha, i know its almost friday, but last friday (when i started trying to lose) I weighed 155.

Goal: 135

Good Luck to everyone! We can totally do this :)

lucus,fitby,mia- I have added you all. Welcome and good going this week!! See you Friday- the 29th for weigh in :)

Got ya baxtman. See ya Friday!

On Friday 1/22/10 I weighed 285. I will try to post on every Friday.
