The First Edition of the Weight Loss Meme

Welcome to the First Edition of the Weight Loss Meme. This is a group of women (but men are welcome, too) who have decided to get together and help support each other while losing that weight we've been meaning to get off for years. Sometimes you just need a hand to hold or someone to hold you accountable.

Here is the deal, each week when you weigh in you can send in your results to the moderator of the Meme (Leigh) and she will create a post once per week with everyone's results. She will then e-mail the post to everyone who has signed up so they can post it as well. This way we all get support (not to mention added traffic). If you wish to join please leave a comment!

So, without further ado, here is this weeks results!

Chris - 2.0 gain
Tammy - 0 (just started this week! Welcome aboard)
Life With Hashi-Thyroid Blog - 2.0 gain
Grace - 0.8 loss
Leigh - 1.0 loss
Clara - 0 (no change from last weigh in)

So we ran this story today...

...about the relationship between birth weight and autism:

"Low birth weight may be linked to autism.

Doctors with the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention studied the birth records of more that 550 children with autism and compared them with a control group of children.

Babies born before 33 week gestation who weighed less than five and a half pounds had a two-fold risk for autism.

The risk was higher for low birth weight girls than boys." (This was the actual script).

"Big Stuff" was a week over due and you'd think that he would have been huge by then, but he was only a little over 6 and 1/2 lbs. at 41 weeks! "Little Bit" was early by 2 weeks when she was born she was WELL OVER 7 and 1/2 lbs. (and I gained less weight with her!) Now I realize that neither of my children were premature by any standard ("Little Bit" born at 38 weeks so technically that's full term), but it just made me wonder if there is something to this study.

Forgive me...I just babbling on...no real thought went into this post if you didn't notice.

I'm back after my project...here's what you missed!

The telethon went well...despite the present economy the Tampa Bay Area Raised over 4 Million dollars for All Children's Hospital.

I have now re-entered the blogosphere and am now going to update you on the status of my weight loss:

THE RECAP

May 19, 2008 - a gain week

Starting Weight: 264.4 lbs.
New Weight: 218.0 lbs.
Weight gained this week: 0.2 lb.
Total lost: 46.4 lbs

May 28, 2008 - a loss week

Starting Weight: 264.4 lbs.
New Weight: 217.8 lbs.
Weight lost this week: 0.2 lb.

That's right I lost exactly what I gained the week before!

Total lost: 46.6 lbs

AND NOW WE'VE COME TO:

June 2, 2008

Starting Weight: 264.4 lbs.
New Weight: 215.6 lbs.
Weight lost this week: 2.2 lb.
Total lost: 48.8 lbs

Thanks for keeping me honest!!! I'm getting there!

Took "Big Stuff" to see Prince Caspian...he loved it (He also loved the "date" with mom. "Little Bit" had a "date" with dad that night too and went to Best Buy and got some movies she liked...I believe they were Princess Stories of some sort).

"Oma and Opa" watched "Big Stuff" & "Little Bit" long enough for Hubby and I to go out for dinner last night...just the two of us! A grown up meal with hubby (whom I haven't seen in about a week because of my real job...and trying to keep the kids happy because of all the extra work hours). It was fun!

and now we are down to one child the rest of this week as "Big Stuff" is with his "Oma and Opa" for a little time with them. We were going to be completely childless for a week as "Little Bit" was going to be with one of her favorite people "Mac" (and "Papa" too of course) this week for some intensive potty training and fun, but "Mac" (aka my mom) had somethings beyond her control come up (don't you love it when things our out of your hands?!?!?) and she had to take care of those...I don't know who was more disappointed "Mac" or "Little Bit"...actually, I'm thinking "Mac", but I told her not to worry. We're enjoying the special time with "Little Bit".

That's about it from here.
