nyer Posted June 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Good morning, Belle. I won't whine, but I will say I did not do well. :eek: I am up 1.2 lbs. I was not good this week. I must try harder. Only four weeks to cruise and I have 10.4 lbs to cruise goal weight. Good luck to everyone. Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootr Posted June 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Ugh, these are the weeks that really make me, just, aaaaaaaaaaah! Calories past week: Exercise past week: Aaaaaaand I stayed the same at 197. Eh, whatever. Felt good all week. Oh, and I got new shorts! First time I ever had really good riding shorts - I ain't EVER going back to cheapos. EBay score for about 1/4 the price in the store. Onwards I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winewanderer Posted June 11, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hello, Having computer troubles this morning. Finally I'm here. I lost 1 lb. Only 3 lbs. until pre-cruise weight. Yeah. Hubby and I have been planning a big trip next spring. We'll be travelling a total of 5-6 weeks. Eventually ending up in Denmark to visit his brother. Actually nice not working and not having to schedule vacations around work and PTO time. Wishing everyone a good week. Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted June 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Home sick today - didn't remember to weigh, probably up though. Will weigh tomorrow. Ken has surgery on the 7/17 (he is happy he got in earlier). Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruises42 Posted June 12, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I gained 9 lbs during our cruise and post cruise. Just started dieting again, lost 1 lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted June 12, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2015 My scale shows that I'm down 1.4# this week. Must have been from being sick!!! 2 of my co-workers (& myself) have decided to have a competition on losing weight from yesterday for 60 days to see how much weight (%) can be lost - we each are putting in $100. I believe it will be a good motivation for all - one has a daughter getting married in Sept - I have a cruise in August and the other just wants to weigh less. Have a wonderful week all.

Singer4Him Posted June 12, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 12, 2015 CONGRATS to everyone who has lost this week!! I've lost 6 lbs in the past two weeks. Working out an hour each day on the elliptical plus counting calories and trying to eat as "clean" as possible. Our next cruise is in November and I've got about 46.5 lbs that I would love to be gone by then. We've got another cruise scheduled for April 2016 and I would love to be at my goal weight by that time. The April cruise is also motivation to keep working after the first cruise and not to slip back into the routine of not working out and poor food choices.

shootr Posted June 12, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Fond memories of a work competition from way back when... There was like 10 of us at the glass factory that threw in - every Monday we'd weigh on the scrap scale and week by week someone would eventually tap out. During lunch me and the production manager would lap the factory, and after a week or two the workers were on to us - after each lap a new "obstacle" would appear and they'd laugh their butts off while we worked around it. It was good for everyone's morale and we wound up splitting the pot because we both hit our goal after the rest quit. Good luck Jan - win some new clothes money! This weekend the missus is doing a 5K in San Diego with her kids while I stay home with a laundry list of honey-do's /// What's up with that stuff???

Belle Posted June 13, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Rose..Why is it so hard to lose when we want to for a cruise? Plus the fact it's so easy to gain overnight but not lose!lol You'll have fun on your cruise no matter what! Right? But I know you'll lose some more before then. shootr..You amaze me on how much exercise you get in a week. You should be losing every week. Sorry about your spill, you got scraped up pretty well. Hope your ok, have a better weekend. Now you have and excuse not to do the "honey do list"! Diana..Glad your computer is working now. Good loss, almost cruise weight gone. Yea! What a great trip you have planned for spring. Nice being retired and can plan all the days just not weekends. Jan..Hope your are feeling better today. Glad you lost but sorry you lost because you were sick. I hope you lose the pounds and money in your work competition. Happy your husband will have his surgery and feel better by your cruise. (or is this the all girl one) cruise42..Glad you had fun on your cruise. I know it's hard to start losing when we get home. We still want to eat. Glad you started now and had a loss. Good job. Singer..Good job losing six pounds in two weeks. Having two cruises planned helps you to keep going. Smart move. Your doing good on the exercise and eating. Hope you all enjoy your weekend no matter what your doing or not doing. (like me being lazy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootr Posted June 16, 2015 #14 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Oh yeah, coloring up nicely... Peeked at the scale this morning - up 2lbs - really? REALLY? Had a moment of "heck with this", then climbed on the bike and 14 miles later I got my head straight. Finish out the rest of the week, then loading up the teardrop for a quick weekend up north and get out of this 110+ degree weather. Now, where to out my signs acquired over the winter...

existential monkey Posted June 16, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi, I'm new. I gained a ridiculous amount of weight due to hormonal issues and three pregnancies in the last five years. When we booked our cruise back in March, I weighed 226 (5'8"). This morning I weighed in at 201, so that's 25 pounds in almost three months. Five more months to go before our cruise. My goal is 160, but I'd be thrilled with 150 or even 140. Our last cruise was October '13 and I weighed 195. I can beat that, no problem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted June 17, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Welcome EM..Your doing a Great job! Know you'll lose a lot more before your cruise. shootr..I was wondering when you were going to use your "tear drop" again. Have a good time. Hope everyone had a Good week so far.
