Where do we do our weigh ins?

[Jenileigh]

Does it matter? I wasn't sure whether to do it here or to do it on the Celebration board, although I was thinking of waiting to visit the Celebration board until I'd hit a goal. Thanks!

Re: Where do we do our weigh ins?

I'm not sure what your question is. Are you wondering where to shout "Woo hoo, I lost _____ lbs!!!" or is this for some challenge? The shouting can be done in any forum you like. It doesn't matter.

So how much did you lose?

Re: Where do we do our weigh ins?

In 11 days I lost 7 pounds. I'll be weighing each Friday-every 7 days from here on out. I just wondered if everyone posted their weigh ins each week.

Re: Where do we do our weigh ins?

Congratulations!

No, as far as I know, there is no place where people are posting their weekly weigh ins. You could always start one though.

Re: Where do we do our weigh ins?

Okay, thanks Georgiana!

Re: Where do we do our weigh ins?

Congratulations on your loss so far

You are right, the Celebration forum is more suited to reaching a goal than a week by week loss report

There hasn't been a 'How did you do last week' kind of thread lately, maybe you can start one here in the Main forum and see if others want to join you?

WOW, congratulations on your weightloss so far...that is awesome...nicely done! You should be feeling very proud of what you've accomplished so far!

You could always start a personal jounal in the "Journal Chat" section. I don't have a journal personally...one of my posts in the Before and After picture section has sort of become my journal LOL!!!! But the Journal section is a great place to post how things are going iin your journey to great health and post your weekly weigh ins and such.

Keep doing everything you're doing, it's working!

I look forward to hearing more updates on how things are going for you....it's great to meet you!

Hi Elizellen!

I love that idea...."How did you do last week".

That would be fabulous!

Yeah - I like that idea too. So do we pick a day or something?

Congratulations Jenileigh!
How fantastic!

Re: Where do we do our weigh ins?

I weigh in on Fridays-so a weekly weigh in on Fridays would work well for me. Sarina, thank-you for the warm welcome here. I truly appreciate it. I'll do a post on Friday unless one of you start one (which is fine with me) I'll jump in any place.

Re: Where do we do our weigh ins?

I'll change my weigh in day to Friday (it is usually Saturday but Friday is just as perfect) and join the thread. Good idea.

Re: Where do we do our weigh ins?

Another thought is to post a Journal thread. Folks tend to stop in and visit their buddies' threads so you could post your weekly progress there and keep kind of a diary for yourself. From your other posts I can see you definitely have some hold over ideas from other diets you have been on. Atkins does a lot of things differently. I know it is a lot to get used to.
