Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

OMG... DUH! LOL... that WAS funny. Okay, so sometimes I'm a little slow...

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Adena, its ok to be slow. We still love you.

Juli - that was a hilarious joke!

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

I needed that explanation too! I get it now, lol. It's early, that's my excuse...

Juli - well done on the inch loss, that's amazing!

I think I'm making progress, my BF hid the scale (randomly remembering my plea from a week ago) and it took me more than a day to notice!

[Adena]

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Thanks, Chasin. And thanks, Baarb... I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Now THAT is real progress that you didn't notice the scale gone right away. Good for you!

I'm not going to get on the scale, but I'm am REALLY curious about my weight. I feel like -- I'm pretty sure, in fact -- I've lost. It's bugging me not knowing how much. I don't know about y'all, but January seems to be going awfully S - L - O - W ! !

January 7, 2007: Day 7

Here's your SCALE SCOFF for the day, 1/7/07:

Just another reason why Atkins is "safer" than low-fat!
To help a friend lose weight, I told her that she should switch to lower-fat foods; including skim milk. When she said her family would only drink whole milk, I suggested that she keep their regular container and refill it with skim milk. This worked for quite a while, until her daughter asked, one morning, whether the milk was okay.

"Sure, it's fine," my friend answered, fearing she had been found out. "Why do you ask?"

"Because according to the bottle," the daughter explained, "this milk expired two years ago."

Well the scale is not tempting me today--my arms are sore and I know I must be holding on to about 73lb. of water. I AM starving though, so I should get my patootie downstairs and make some breakfast!

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

I picked today to measure, lol, probably the wrong day after trying the new exercise video yesterday. It said I gained about 3 inches on legs and arms, eeeek, but lost from my chest and middle which I'll believe. I think my legs and arms are just a little puffed up, they're slightly sore. I definetly don't want to touch the scale everrrrr, lol, but I guess I will weigh on Feb 1st or 2nd, the 2nd's my birthday, wee.

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Hi I love this thread it relates so much to me . can I please join this challenge ?

[Adena]

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Sure, Ebony. It's "easy" -- well, the rules are anyway. There's just one: don't weigh yourself until Feb. 1. But, do find other ways to "measure" your progress... scroll back to the beginning of the thread for some ideas.... measurements (tape measure), too tight clothing, etc.

Good luck to you, and welcome!

I got on the scale yesterday. Good news is that I lost almost 10lbs since I have been on OWL (for three weeks). Imagine what I would have lost if I exercised more. I will try to restrain myself from now on. It is difficult because Frank is following Weight Watchers and is having a competition with me as to who drops the most weight and is constantly telling me how much he lost and asking me how much I have lost.

January 8, 2007: DAY 8

Here is your SCALE SCOFF for the day, 1/8/07:


Oh let me tell you I was TEMPTED to weigh today! I can feel that I've lost weight this past week--my boyfriend thinks I'm skinner than even before the weekend. But I remain strong, knowing that if I wait this out, my reward will be HUGE!

[Adena]

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Maggie, congratulations on your loss, but that's 10 lashes with a wet noodle for you -- one for every pound you're down!

Is it just me, or does this seem like the slowest month EVER??? Sheesh -- we're only a week and a day into it! A reason it seems especially long to me is that, in addition to not weighing, I'm really trying hard to ramp up my exercise, with the goal of seeing a noticable (albeit small) difference at month's end. Seems like it's going to take FOREVER to get here!

Okay, enough drama. I feel lighter too, Julie -- even after my 47 g of carbs yesterday. Am really curious what my weight is. If I had to guess, I think I'm in the low 230s (around 4 pounds down from Dec. 31). In fact, I guess I DO have to guess, huh?

I have to say I didn't even really think about weighing this moring. I tell y'all... having the scale put away makes a world of difference. This weekend, I was at a friend's house, and their scale was right there next to me, taunting me, on one of my several trips to their bathroom... and I just stared at it with a mean face.

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

Juli - I love the cartoon

Adena, this IS the slowest month ever I'm sure! And it's not even in double figures!

The bad news is, I accidently on purpose found the scale BF hid, but ignored it and told him to move it.

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

December went so fast and January goes so slow! I hope I avoid the scales until the end of the month. It is just so nice to change my weight in my signature. I cannot wait until I am in the 230s! Will not weigh, will not weigh! Who knows, perhaps at the end of January I will be!

[julirama723]

Re: JANUARY Weigh?? No WAY!! Challenge!!!

I just took my weight ticker out of my signature, as it wouldn't be accurate and it would drive me CRAZY to keep it in my siggy without being able to change it!!!
