Weekly weigh-in 5/28 - 6/3/06

[Rob]

I'll start it even though i haven't weighed in. A few days at the beach this week has packed on the pounds though. I can really tell.

Hope everyone had a good week!

WHOOOOOOOOOSH...that's the sweet sound of 5 pounds mysteriously disappearing from my body last week. I'm at 295 and rapidly approaching last year's low.

The only thing I hate about whooshes for me is that generally they are followed by a slow week, but that's ok.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

oh noel! i'm so delighted to hear the whoosh fair visited you! i know that getting back under 300 again hast to be a great psychological boost as well. you go, girlfriend!

Color me disappointed. I know I was down some weight on Friday afternoon because the scale read the same as it did last Tuesday morning (there can be as much as a 5 pound swing). So all weekend long, I was looking forward to the scale on Tuesday morning - hoping I would be breaking in a new decade. Instead, I'm up a pound to 232. :(

Of course, a box arrived from Netrition on friday evening so I introduced myself to "Carbquik," Saturday morning (pancakes with hazelnut syrup). I also had some wine on Saturday evening and some bbq on Sunday/Monday. I had hoped that would be counter-balanced by a good workout Friday night and a rigorous hike Sunday afternoon (a friend and I did the Billy Goat trail at Great Falls park, MD), but apparently not.

Noel - Nice loss btw. You gotta love the Whoosh Fairy!

[CushieButterfield]

I had pancakes last night, Sven. Love the LC pancakes but for some they can cause bloat. I'm feeling a bit puffy this morning.

I'm down 2 pounds. Of course I would like it to be more, but I am happy with that - especially after the crazy week I had.

[CarolynInTexas]

I weighed on monday and was 297... i will take one lb.

[Goddess]

you go, carolyn! sven-it's just a matter of time. i know since i've started with carbquik, i do have to watch my potion control. and hooray for kelly! never complain it ain't enough. every pound down is a good pound down.

and me? i'm just cheerleading this week.

[CushieButterfield]

way to go Kelly and Carolyn. Yes any pound lost is a good pound!

[spride]

At the rate of two pounds a week, in 6 months, you will lose 50+ pounds. Your weight will become a positive topic of conversation! I know it's my favorite topic now.

[kelly]

Good point! I'll try to keep the big picture in mind here. And I know I won't mind talking about it - IF it's about the loss of my weight, LOL.

[Goddess]

oh kelly, you'll be annoying all your friends and family in no time with the topic. that's part of the reason i joined this community in the first place-everybody else was sick of hearing me rave about lc and all the weight i've lost.

it takes a bit to get used to, but after your intial whooshes of induction, it does slow down. over my first year low carbing, i averaged less than 2 pounds a week, but of course, it ended up being over a hundred pounds. it's the consistency that matters. sounds like you're doing great.

[kelly]

Goddess - Let me say.. I absolutly love your "fatbutt syndrome" I spent a couple days reading through your website. Great stuff in there!

I know I can't wait to bug everyone, he! he! I have tried and tried again on this so LC WOE and I am happy to announce I here for the long haul this time. I didn't get to 270 pounds overnight - and it sure won't come off overnight. LC is the only thing that has ever worked for me and now I know it is NOT a diet. I am changing the way I eat for the rest of my life. Well... enuf ranting!

Woo-Hoooooo.... We're on our way!

[Goddess]

kelly-thank you for your comments. i'm always appreciate hearing that sort of thing. you keep that enthusiasm and the positive attitude going, because that's what is going to carry you though and keep you going.

peace out.
