TEAM 4 - the losers!

[jumpingbean]

Thanks CMGray and Curvee!!

So I see I'm not the only one who's been busy around here. No posts for a few weeks!!! Is everyone still here? Anyhoo, it has taken me 3 weeks to lose another pound, but it's finally gone! Down to 148 today. At this point, my goal for this challenge is looking a wee bit unattainable.

[Curveegrrl]

Jumpingbean! Well done! A pound is a pound, and it is GONE! Three weeks is nothing in terms of a lifetime!

Yeah, things are busy, but I'm still sticking to the program. Water continues to torment be, but I'm choking it down for the most part. i try to imagine it's beer.

I haven't weighted myself in a while, but I think things are progressing. Fingers crossed.

I'm back again with a weigh in.

It's been a while since I've weighed myself. Since I got my fancy new scale, I don't like to. My old scale weighed me so much lighter, I'm still not as low as my old scale says I was when we started the challenge. However, as of this morning, I weighed 130.4kg (287.5lbs)

So it's not as exciting as being 121kg, like my old scale said I was. But I just need to accept that that scale was wrong. And that I was reeeeally a lot heavier than I thought I was. Even though I'm losing, I don't feel like I've lost anything, because the thrill of being 130kg is soooo 2004. ah well.

My point is, I have lost 7.6kg (16 3/4lbs) since I started the challenge. and I don't plan on taking them back again ever!

Lick it. Stick it. Stamp it!

Congrats Curvee!! I surprised myself this week and lost another pound! Down to 147.

[Curveegrrl]

Another pound! That's awsome! I love when they sneak off like that!

[Curveegrrl]

Here's my excitement yesterday. I got a big care package in the post from my parents. The package included 4 pair of size 24 pants (or trousers if you think that "pants" are "underpants"). I took a look at them and thought they seemed really small, but tried them on any way. And they all fit! Yay! I don't think I've been a size 24 since I was about 16. So I'm kinda thrilled.

The one problem. They are the ugliest pants I've ever seen. I don't think I will ever wear them, no matter what size they are. sigh. I feel like such an ungreatful daughter when I say that, but. . .life is too short to wear ugly pants!

Weigh to go, team! My weight loss is going oh-so-slowly, but I have reached and managed to stay in ONEderland.

[Curveegrrl]

Shrinkerbell: That's amazing! Congratulations! Are you doing anything to celebrate?

[kimmypooh_72]

Here I am

I feel like I have let the team down. (Not by having to have surgery, by my eating habits.) I recently had to have another surgery on the 6th of this month. (Partial Hyst.--kept ovaries YEAH!!) so I have been down and out. Between emotional rollercoasters and Vicodin :sadblinky Not eating the Atkins way at all. My weight still holds at 222.8 (according to the dr scales). To be honest, I'm not sure what I will be doing for the next few weeks. I'm not leaving the team, but I don't want to let you guys down either.

I just thought everyone would like to know my status.

L8R,
Kimberly

kimmypooh -- I'm sorry things have been so rough for you lately. Don't worry about letting any of us down. YOU CAN'T! But take care of yourself. And if this way of eating is getting to be too much these days...that happens. You can always get right back into it when you're ready.

Hang in there! We're rooting for you. I hope you're feeling better soon.

[Shrinkerbell]

I haven't thought of a way to celebrate yet. I'm just so happy. It's given me more motivation. I might think of a big reward when I reach 100 pounds lost from my highest weight of 275.

[Curveegrrl]

Just wanted to say that after hovering at 130kg for about a week (thanks TOM!) I weighed in at 128kg this morning. Not a bad little whoosh if I do say so myself.

bought myself some new t-shirts to celebrate. Hooray for Japanese T-shirts with weird things written on them in English. ANd double hooray for finally being able to buy clothes in wee tiny Japan!

[Curveegrrl]

I weighed in at 125kg this morning. So I'm at about 275.5lbs. Yay! So lets see if I can keep track of all this... I'm down 13kg since the start of this challenge. Yay! Double Yay even. That almost 29lbs down since January. Wow.

And I'm STILL really fat. oh. sigh.

Neveryoumind ladies! This *** is a-shrinken, and I intend on keeping it a-shrinken!

[Curveegrrl]

Just another quick update...I weighed in at 123.6kg (272.5 lbs) today! So here's hoping that in a few weeks I can be out of the 270s.

[Curveegrrl]

Well...this morning I weighed in at 122 kg. So that'd be 269 lbs. Ladies, I am out of the 270s!! Whoo! And a little bit of hooo!

And my nasty-scale-that-I-hate has been trying to befriend me lately. It has all the fancy measuring stuff on it. Tells me how much muscle I have, and how much fat. It tells me my BMI and a bunch of other junk that really all says "Hey Curveegrrl...you're fat!" But it also has a 7, 30 and 90 day memory.

So I can see that in the last 90 days I've lost 10.6 kg (23 lbs). My percentage of muscle has gone from 20.2% to 21.9%. My percentage of fat has gone down from 46.3% to 43.7%. And my BMI has moved from 44.3 to 40.8.

Not bad for a Tuesday morning.
