Weigh in and Random Inedible Treats

Molly: First of all - .6 loss! That is great considering I was away from home. My goal for last week was to go to the gym. At the last minute, my family went to Vegas for a buying show (I own a home decor & furniture store). I walked for two days straight. The day we drove home, my son got the stomach flu so I have been up at night with him and then my baby. So, I did not go to the gym yesterday or today. I'm just lucky to have my eyes open. I'm going to try to get back on the Weight Watchers plan starting on Sunday. I just need to get back on the program. It's so hard when you travel or are staying at someone else's home with their food. I actually packed my fiber One bars which I thought was a victory for me. I just can't wait until my life gets back to normal.

Katie: Well, in light of my wretched eating yesterday, (although I didn't OVEReat- I just didn't very healthily, "Mmm, fruit tart for breakfast...cookies for lunch? Sure!"), I'm thrilled with .5. I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that since my muffintop post, where I was positively still a 10, I have only lost ONE point FIVE pounds. Hello?? This more than anything else just goes to show it's not all about the number on the scale. I was sure I was going fit into that 8 in a weigh-in week where I lost 2.9 or something like that. So, let's take one more look at those words of wisdom on our sidebar:

"Both of us use weights on a regular basis and find our actual weight doesn't always match the changes we see in our body."

Amen. This will save me from discouragement about the scale for at LEAST another month! ;)

Ladies in the race? How'd you do this week?

Now onto those treats:

Has anyone checked out The Weigh We Were lately? (They're in our sidebar under "They Did It.") They revamped their website and now have a blog directory. So all of you "weighty" bloggers should skedaddle over there and add your site. Here's a "before and after" I pulled from them. This is Erin, she is 29 and went from a Size 16 to a 6 in a year and a half. Click on the photo for the rest of the story.


Have you guys visited Crabby McSlacker lately? Well, awhile back she had a really fun personality quiz...not what you're thinking I promise. Go check it out, it's hilarious: What Kind of Food Freak Are You?

And after you say hi over there, you might want to go check a new weighty blog skinnify. Even though they've only got a few posts up, they're worth the click- super witty. Also, grrrl power has a great post up about listening to her body with some great tips in there.

And FYI

Molly's weigh in should be posted a little later in the morning, so check back!

Thanks so much for all of your support and encouragement with my victory post yesterday! I wish I could fly all of you out here just to go to lunch and hang out. But that won't be happening anytime soon, so just know I consider my bloggy friends the best support out there!
