Do we go ahead and post here for this Monday (2/14) too? If so, my weight hasn't changed (waaaah!) and my measurements are:

bust: 49 1/2
waist: 43
hips: 57

So I'm down 1 1/2 inches!

BTW Miss Independence: You're coming to my part of the state! I'm near South Haven, right on the Lakeshore. There's been a lot of flooding in GR the last month or so, so be careful driving near the rivers!

[miss independence]

Waist: 44.5"
Hips: 54"

How fun is this???

May I please join, ehhh, I mean Arrrrgggggg, me mateys may I board ye ship for some piratin'???

LOL What a great idea! My pirate name is Mad Bess Kidd, and evidently I'm as crazy as they come, but if that's what it takes to be a Kermit lover, than so be it :nod

My name is Nikki, I'm originally from California, and when I was 18 I got a wild hair and moved to Texas. LOL now that I'm older and wiser WHAT WAS I THINKING???? LOL but I landed on my feet, had a good job and met a great man. We met in March, were married in July, and had a little boy 2 years later. I am currently a stay at home mommy, and am loving it. :icondance

I started this WOE (***edited because I refered to Atkins as a "diet" :yikes ) 1/21/05 and am down 12 lbs. I'm pretty excited about that. I'm currently 271, and am 5'10". I'll post my measurements Monday because I'm going to have to buy a tape. I have one for sewing, but darned if I can find it.

[softnred]

wow...I've never met a female Unix geek before!!! Glad to have you on board!!!

And welcome Nikki, our newest member!!! If'n you want one, here's the code line for your logo, with your pirate name:

just take out the asterisks when you paste it into your siggy.


Now...just a few business matters, since Cynthia asked. We're an unofficial group of the group competition. (How's that...clear as mud??) Groups 1-6 were good boys and girls and joined before the deadline, and they are in competition for a) the group that retains the most newbies, a) the group that loses the most weight, and c) the group that loses the most inches. I believe the competition lasts until July. However, since we formed wayyyy past the deadline, we're kind of hangers-on, and doin' our own thing. Our numbers won't matter competition-wise, but they certainly count support-wise!!! We're here for the support and fun that a group provides.

So that we can at least keep track of our progress, if you don't mind please provide:

Your beginning weight.
Your goal weight.
Measurements of: hips, waist and fullest part of bust.

I'll track everyone's progress, and we'll see how we do!!!

How's that??

  Current Weight: 271
  Goal Weight: 175

I'll get my measurements to you as soon as I get a tape :yes

We gave 'em a head start is all :guns

[fancypantstomatch]

That's right, we just didn't want to beat them too badly, we are pirates, but we are kinder gentler pirates :hug

Edited to add my measurements:

• Chest 53"
  Hips 58"
  Waist 48"

Just wanted to wish everyone a great weekend. :wave

Well, it's official. I am moving on the 9th of March. Not a lot of time and a ton of stuff to do! I will check in for sure with my Monday progress reports, and here and there, but I've been using most of my free time to look for houses. I am taking the train next week to go house hunting, so that should be fun. I think the time on the train will be the only time I have to relax between now and when we move.

The upside to all this packing and lifting and stuff, is that I don't feel like I'm not getting enough exercise!

[goin2Bgood]

Thank-you! I hope you have a good weekend too miss independence. I also hope you find a wonderful new home quickly

I haven;t exercised at all this week. My back is still pretty bad, but today it's finally feeling a little better. Standing or walking really kills it though and I'm getting frustrated. I see the chiropractor again Mon, and I'm hoping that will be the last time! Between no exercise and TOM I have a feeling there's no weight loss this week

[goin2Bgood]

Mon. 2/21 weigh-in

Chest: 49.5
Waist: 45
Hips: 54.5
Weight: 255
inches lost this week: .5"
weight loss this week: 2 lb

All in all I'm pleased! I was pretty certain I didn't lose at all. My back is finally doing a lot better, so I plan on walking today and back to Curves tomorrow :icondance

Ohhh, and because I like visuals I wondered what a gallon jug of water weighed when I was carrying some in to the house a couple weeks ago. I discovered a gallon of water weighs 8.3 pounds. I've lost almost 3 gallon jugs of water and I have about 13 more to lose! It's fun picturing it that way since I carry water fairly often and it gets heavy LOL.

Monday, February 21

We are supposed to post on Modays aren't we?

Well if so, I'll go first........

• weight-270 (lost 1 lb)
  Bust-53"
  Hips-57.5
  Waist-46.5(lost .5 inch)

Not terribly stellar, I'm kinda disappointed, I've been exercising 5/7, 20 minutes of Cardio :icondance , 10 minutes on Abs, 10 lower body, and 10 arms w/ weights. Do you think I should bump up the exercise?

Hope everyone had a great week of losing! :hug

[softnred]

Ya know...I don't think the other groups are posting their info every week. Hmm....maybe I'll look into that.

Miss Indie, hope that packing goes well!!! Wish we could help you...it would be a laugh a minute.

Goin2be, I'm glad your back is better!! I tweaked mine in a fender bender last month, so I had a small taste of what that's like. It wasn't fun.

I'm doing okey dokey...the rest of TOM's 2-pound gain finally came off, so I'm back to 218. I'm getting frustrated though...my weight loss has slowed to a nonexistent crawl. But then again, I was at this size (1 for many many years, so it makes sense that my body would "rest" here. Sigh....

Hope ya'll are having a good week!!!
