my weigh in

Okay so this was a good week for me. Well actually a great week. After my up week last week i paid better attention to the amount of food I was eating. I stopped before I was stuffed and waited to see if I was really hungry or not. It worked.

last week 255.6

This week 253.2

that is 2.4 lbs! oh man that feels sooooo goooood. Now I just want to keep it up!

see you next week!

oops

Last week = 211
This week = 213

+2 lbs

Ha, remember my goal last week was to "make it 2 pounds a week"...well, I meant down not up! oops! That's what happens when I don't go to the gym and eat ice cream. Good thing its a new week.

Happy losing!

Shannon's Still Here!

I'm still here. I haven't given up. Although a part of me wants to some times. That is mostly because of my stomach problems. I'm in pain for the most part of every day and for the other part, I'm so nauseous. It has been hard for me to go to the gym consistently. The last 2 times I went, I had to leave the class to go emergency number 2 in the bathroom. That's not fun for me. I can't go anywhere with out worrying that by bum is going to explode. So the results from the colonoscopy and endoscopy came back, and I am devastated. Not because they found something wrong with me but because they DIDN'T. That was what I was afraid of. Well he did find that I have a stomach ulcer, and hemorrhoids. The ulcer could be the cause of the abdominal pain and the hemorrhoids could be the cause of the blood in my stools but neither could cause the diarrhea for 6 months. SO now I have to change my diet to eliminate fructose(he's guessing because I already know I'm not allergic to it) and we are going to re-run some stool cultures I did in February. I feel like I will never figure out what is going on, just like with migraines. I have no faith in doctors. I am afraid I will just have to go on living like this forever, just like with migraines, and it makes me so sad. 

ANYWAY.... Back to the matter at hand... Weight loss. I have gained unfortunately. I am back to my starting weight. 238. (Just icing on the cake right now) So I am kicking in into higher gear. I gotta take it to a higher level if I wanna see any weight loss. I guess my body is angry with me. So I started doing P90X. (Thank you Chad!) I didn't think I could do it because I have the gym membership but I am doing both. I really enjoy the classes at the gym and I can double up. I am on my 3rd day of P90X and I'm feeling great so far. I like the structure. I sure was sore the first day though. And I get migraines every time so I have to do them in the evening, but it'll work. I think I am gonna get some results!
I heard Dixie and James are doing it?! I wonder how they are doing? Kevin is going to do it too.
If anyone would like me to get you a copy of the discs, I'd be happy to.

Love, Shannon

Shannon's Sad Weigh In

I didn't want to post this. I REALLY don't want to!!!!

Last weigh in 231.


Current weight....236!


SAD! I can't believe I gained 5 lbs! I went camping, ate a whole bunch of garbage and didn't count the calories because it was too hard to remember when I got home then I just got lazy about counting calories. And here's some more excuses: My brother in law John was here for 3 weeks and we treated him to a lot more "going out" to eat than we usually do and he pretty much just eats junk food only so we had our house stocked full and of course it got me. And the biggest excuse, I have been REALLY sick with stomach problems and for the last week with a horrible cough on top of that so I didn't go to the gym for a week and a half. That is a problem.
I'm so ashamed! But it's not the end of the world. Honestly I'm more concerned with whats going on in my GI tract right now. I am having my colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow and I hope we can figure out what is wrong with me.

Nancy's weigh in

Okay last time I posted my actual weight was on June 17, because I went up a lot after that.

June 17th 255.8

June 24th 260.4

July 1st 257.4

July 8th 255.6


I also committed to no gaining weight over the 4th like i did over the memorial day holiday.

and as you can see. I went DOWN. I was down 1.8 lbs from last week and .2 pounds from before I hurt my arm and stopped counting my points and caring.

I started walking again even though it is sooo hot outside, and I am also doing a stretching video that I got from a friend. I think it really helps me with my energy level through the day.

I hope you all have a great week!

Nancy

Suzi's week 14

beginning weight = 237

last week = 213

this week = 213

total weight loss over 14 weeks = 24 lbs

I'm SO happy I didn't gain this week!! We went camping for 5 days at Greens Peak. I didn't count my points, ate a bunch of junk and was lazy! So, I'm happy to take a 213 again. I have babysitting set up for the kids next week so I can hit the gym hard.... Shannon, Megan, I'll see you there :) happy loosing this week!

Suzi's weight in

Last week = 214lbs

This week = 213lbs

1 more lb!!

Dang, at this rate it is going to take me a whole year to reach my goal...BUT, I'm not complaining because it is in the right direction!!! One day Dixie and I were talking and we decided, in a year or so we could either still be fat, uncomfortable and unhealthy or in a year we could be at our goal weight and feel much better about life...we just gotta do something about it!! =) so I'm just happy there is progress!! Thanks to all my workout partners!!! you help me get motivated!!!

P.S. I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOVE ZUMBA!!!! =)
