What Six Pounds Looks Like

Shrink for Good with the Sisterhood!

After a week of non-scale victories (triathlon, swimming in disgusting water in which I was not consumed by sealife, and dropping a size), I'm happy to report a scale victory!

Last week I just went with the flow because it turns out I gain weight after triathlons. I've done this twice now and now I know that triathlon week is not a good weigh-in week for me. Last week I gained 1.5 pounds, only to lose it the very next day but after weigh-in of course so it didn't count. But (talk about cup half full) it also turns out that I have a very extra special week the week after. Like this week, when I lost that annoying 1.5 pounds, plus another 2! Yipppeeeee!

So I'm down 3.5 since last weigh-in, which is actually 6 so far for the challenge, and it looks like this (get a look at my cans!): And also like this:

My very first official milestone badge! I haven't hit a milestone in MONTHS!

Can I also just say that I am really loving the Weight Watchers system? I have still been able to eat take-out Thai, Dunkin Donuts, possibly some candy corn , and Einsteins bagels.

Among the crazy amount of veggies I've been interjecting in between of course, but still, I have not given anything up.

Which makes me very happy.

So how did you do this week?? Don't forget to visit the Sisterhood to weigh-in (you can join the challenge any time and it's all for a good cause) but especially don't forget to go visit the other sisters! It's all about the support!!!

Weigh-in Wednesday Week 1

Shrink for Good with the Sisterhood!

It's the very first weigh-in at the new challenge, Shrink for Good over at the Sisterhood! I don't even know where to start! I'll start here:

That's what two pounds of non-perishables look like. And if you're wondering why I took that picture, it means you haven't joined the challenge so go on over and join, there's still time! I'll wait.

OK, so I lost two pounds this week! Two! And now, two pounds of food into my food-pantry-bank for the food bank (everything I lose, I match in nonperishables and donate to a food bank in October, that's the Shrink for Good/Lose for Good way!) Also I joined Weight Watchers hoping it would give me that little boost I needed to drop this last 10 here and looky loo! Two are gone! Fluke? We'll see next week! A little more on the weigh-in stuff plus some giveaway info over at the Sisterhood today! Happy Wednesday!

Shrink for Good

Shrink for Good with the Sisterhood!


OK ladies it's time to Shrink for Good! Are you ready??? This is such a great challenge over at the Sisterhood and it starts TODAY! Ready for the details?

-Log your starting weight over here at the Sisterhood.

-Weigh in on Wednesdays.

-Work out. Eat well. Shrink.

-Buy canned veggies or non-perishables in the same amount of weight you lost for that week. For example, 1 pound = 16 ounces. Lose a pound? Buy 16 oz. of non-perishables.

-Hold it. Feel how heavy that is.

-When the challenge is over on October 17th, gather up all those non-perishables you bought and pick it all up and feel it and see for yourself how much you lost!!!! Then donate it all to a local food bank. That will be just ahead of Thanksgiving and a time of year all food pantries are specifically hurting, so it's a win-win for EVERYONE!!!! In't that special!

This is all in conjunction with Weight Watchers' Lose for Good campaign, but you do not have to do Weight Watchers in order to be involved. You just need to weigh in with us and lose weight.

My personal quest is to lose 10 pounds. I just joined Weight Watchers and it gave me a mini-goal of 7. I have been good about my workouts, and not so good about my eating, so I really need some help and some accountability here! I need to stay on track this time! I want to be ripped one day! Let's do this, sisters!!!

Also, if you haven't been over there, there are two giveaways going on: HERE and HERE!

So head on over! Let's start shrinking for good!
