Some members have asked for a weekly Mon weigh-in to keep them motivated.
Here we go!
Today I am 129.4lb. Last week I was lower, but I'm in a "bloaty stage" so we'll see what I am at next week
. I don't stress too much about the 1-2 pound fluctuations. I keep an eye on the overall trend. I tend to bloat and unbloat during parts of the month, and that's OK.
Feel free to chime in if you wish!
OK it's our Monday weigh-in! Time to take stock of your progress toward whatever goals you have set!
Today I am 127.4. I am 18.4% fat, 56.6% water, and 36.1 pounds of muscle.
How are you guys doing toward your goals?
Wow, I don't know if I'm brave enough to post my stats. But you so inspire me, Lisa.
I need to get a scale. How do you know about your body fat percentage and water, etc.?
Lori - it's fine to just track them yourself at home! The key is to be aware of your body and to know what it's doing. It's always better to know than to not know.
Many modern scales tell you your fat, muscle, water, etc. when you stand on them. Even WalMart and other basic stores carry the scales. So it's worth taking a look!
It's our Monday weigh-in! How are you doing? I'm on steroids for this poison ivy so I'll be bloating for two weeks
I'm at 129.6, 18.8% fat, 55.8% water, 36.9lb muscle, 4.6 bone mass.
Lisa, I am just SO IMPRESSED that you're still going strong here at Bella!! I started writing with you/Bella in 2005 or 2006 I believe, then moved on to my own blogs and freelance writing projects. Since then, I've been all over the map professionally, but always blogged consistently.
I'm just awed by you, that Bella is still the same. It's like coming home - I'm glad you haven't changed how Bella looks. I remember a few changes a few years ago - a new forum maybe? But I wanted to tell you that I think it's smart to keep it looking the same. It makes us feel like we're coming home in a world that seems to move so fast!
Cheers,
Laurie
Laurie -
Thank you so much, I'm glad you're having a great life!
Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa-
What a brave girl you are. Like Lori, I am not certain that I have the balls or bravery to actually state what my weight is, but I think I can handle mentioning whether or not I am obtaining my goals and how many pounds I am losing each Monday.
This might really kick my efforts into gear. Thanks for always being you- upfront and honest. I'm inspired.
Yvonnie -
Certainly pounds lost is fine! Whatever helps to motivate you!
I'm a firm believer that knowing is better than not knowing, and the more I can share that might help others, the more I will do so. I don't mind posting photos of my poison ivy or whatever else might be helpful. We are all in this world together.
It's Monday Weigh-in! I'm 125.8lb, 18.2% fat, 56.9% water, 35.8lb muscle, and 4.4 bone mass.
How are you doing this week?
Monday weigh-in is here! After my week of juice cleanse I am 122.8lb 17.2% fat 57.6% water 36.8lb muscle - how are you doing?
I'm a bit late in posting this, but this was from Monday 5/6.
My son James was over for the weekend, which always means I eat a little less healthily than usual. We went out for a birthday dinner with my dad and I had a piece of cake.
Also I'm off the juicing cleanse now. So I'm returning a bit towards my typical weight.
So I am at 125.2lb 17.7% fat 57.0% water 37.1lb muscle.
How are you guys doing? Making progress?
I gained 5 pounds between 30 minutes before my surgery and a day after. I thought it was from fluids and wasn't too worried. Now it's still here and I'm thinking--what's that about?
Terri -
I wouldn't worry about it at all while your body heals. It could easily be holding onto water while it goes through all its healing activities.
Also, if you can, I'd get a scale that measures body fat. That way you can see if you are actually gaining fat, or if it's water or something else. That way you know what's going on.
Thanks Lisa. I think I will get that scale real soon.
Terri -
I've tried a number of the scales over the years so I'll be interested in hearing which one you get, and what you think of it!
I'm looking for mid-price range. Do you have a recommendation?
Terri -
This is the one I have, and I like it immensely. It's incredibly easy to use. Just step on and go, once it's set up.
Eat Smart Scale
Monday weigh-in 125.8lb 17.7% fat 56.8% water 37.5lb muscle - how are you doing this week? Up? Down?
I went up slightly due to a delicious wine dinner I went to on Saturday night. Lots of wine, lots of great food, not exactly the healthiest of nights
.
I'm down 1. Haven't bought new scale yet.
Down 1 is great news, Terri! Congratulations!

I keep gaining and losing the same two pounds.
Terri -
Ah but how is your muscle and fat changing? That's really the key! Maybe you're gaining muscle and trimming out fat!
It's Monday Weekly Weigh-In time! I'm at 129.4lb 18.8% fat, 55.9% water, 36.7lb muscle. How are you guys doing?
My weekly weigh-in - 129.8lb, 18.9% fat, 55.9% water, 36.5lb muscle. I need to get back into my daily yoga - I miss it a lot. I've just been so busy, but it's important to build that routine.
How are you doing?
I weigh every Wednesday and today I was 84kg (which converts to 185 lb) which might seem a lot but when I started
Feb 13 I was 107.4kg (236.7 lb) - another 10kg to go ...
That is awesome news, Peter! Congratulations!
Bob began at 300 and got down to 185 or so, before he slid back up again. He needs to get more active again (and stop with the pizza
).
It's Monday's Weekly Weigh-In! I've crossed the 130 line (in the wrong direction), to 130.2lb, 19.0% fat, 55.7% water, 36.5lb muscle. It was that wine dinner Sunday. Time to refocus my energy and my #lowcarb menu.
How are you guys doing this week?
Weekly weigh-in time! 130.0lb, 19.1% fat, 55.7% water, 36.4lb muscle. Need to exercise a bit more. How are you doing?
Weekly weigh-in time; I'm at 132.8lb, 19.3% fat, 54.9% water, 37.8lb muscle. Those Oreos with James didn't help much
How are you guys doing on your goals?
It's weekly check-in time! I'm at 131.0lb, 19.3% fat, 55.5% water, 35.9lb muscle - how are you doing in your goals?
Weekly weigh-in time! How are you doing on your goals? I'm at 130.2lb, 19.2% fat, 55.8% water, 35.8lb muscle.
Lisa, I'm at 148 pounds and would like to get down to right where you are. I did have a little improvement this week because I was 150 last Monday. So where do you get that breakdown of fat, muscle, and water? I have the Fitbit Aria scale to weigh in on, but it only gives me a body fat measure...
I'm at 147.2 pounds this Monday.
Monday weigh-in is here! 134.8lb, 19.9% fat, 54.5% water, 37.2lb muscle. That cruise to Bermuda took its toll
. Time to renew my #lowcarb lifestyle. How are you guys doing this week? Remember, Monday is a fresh start!
Ro - we're currently using the
Eatsmart Scale but there are many on the market that offer those same measurements. We've tested a number of them and most work quite fine.
Thank you for the scale info, Lisa. I am at 148.5 pounds this Monday. I keep circling this 5-pound range between 146 to 151 or so. Very frustrating!
I'm 146.9 pounds this morning, and heading in the right direction.
I'm at 146.0 even, but four days ago I was 144.8.
146.0 pounds -- 2 pound weigh gain due to Thanksgiving dinner.
78.5kg (which converts to 173 lb)
last time posted her on 21 Aug was 84kg (which converts to 185 lb)
not too bad considering since then I've been on wine trip to Alsace for a week, 3+ weeks on holiday in USA, AWS conference, two banquets ...
rate of loss is slowing but still going down
Lisa - how do you find your fat/muscle/water weights?
Peter -
In the US, pretty much every "general purpose" store we've been in has these scales in with their other weight scales. They look just like regular bathroom scales. We've had a whole series of them over the years. You step on them with bare feet and they send a mild electrical current up one leg and down the other (i.e. it naturally completes the circuit). If you then tell it your height, the system knows your weight, and can calculate your body composition based on the speed of that signal.
Do they not have those in the UK?
Here's just one of my articles -
Body Composition Scale
I'm doing well at maintaining. My values for this past Monday were:
weight - 126.6lb
fat - 18.3%
water - 56.7%
muscle - 36.1 pounds
Do they not have those in the UK?
I hadn't looked, I was unaware of such a thing.
But I see that similar scales are available in UK, including the one you write about which is on Amazon.co.uk at a ferocious price.
But I am dubious of how a mild electric current can differentiate between bone, muscle and water bodily content.
There is a very interesting and detailed review on amazon.com THIS PRODUCT IS A SHAM!By R. Repine on July 9, 2012 that raises concerns about the methodilogy and accuracy fo the product.
OK - passed a mile stone today
77.3 KG - that makes 30 KG since I started in Feb at 107.4
took 9 weeks to lose first 10 kg
took 12 weeks to lose second 10 kg
took 19 weeks to lose third 10 kg (but that included 4 weeks living in hotels and eating out 3 times a day, including two formal banquets, 2.5 weeks visiting Missouri wineries and .5 week at the American Wine Society conference
FYI 10kg = 22.05 pounds. 30kg = 66.14 pounds
Peter -
That's great!
Some of the scales are cheap imitators - but many of them work quite well. Bob and I have done numerous tests with them, comparing them against other industry standard measurements including a variety of fat-testing devices, and they come out fairly accurate.
Weekly weigh-in time! How are you doing with all the holiday temptations?
I'm at 126.4lb, 18.1% fat, 56.6% water, 36.7lb muscle
76.4kg (168.4 lb) today, lost 0.9kg (1.98 lb) in past week
That's awesome news, Peter! Congratulations!
I'm going the other direction
.
Weekly weigh-in - 129.4lb 18.5% fat 55.7% water 38.0 lb muscle - that weekend of James visiting really did a number on me
.
Weekly weigh-in time! I'm now 130.0lb 19.0% fat 55.7% water 36.7lb muscle. Resisting those holiday treats is hard! But worth it
.
How are you doing?
Congratulations, Lisa! I'm 145.4 pounds, plateauing because of not resisting those holiday treats.
But at least I haven't gained back a lot of weight!
Well, today reached 76.2kg, so close to my original target of 76kg.
Previous weigh a week ago I had gained weight, 0.5kg, which was shock 'cos it's the first weight rise since I started in Feb, but this week I had lost that 0.5 plus another 0.2 making a loss this week of 0.7kg (1.54pounds)
Now, my original target was 12 stone (168 pound) - which I converted to 76kg. But actually, 12 stone is 76.2kg so I have reached my original target. Huzzah!
But .... my doctor looked at the BMI chart and it seems for my height 5'7 I am still 'overweight' and I have to go down to 70kg (11 stone) to drop to 'healthy' weight....
so another 6.2kg/1 stone/14 pounds to go
That is fantastic news, Peter!
Congratulations!
Weekly weigh-in time. 129.2lb, 18.6% fat, 56.0% water, 37.0 lb muscle. How are you doing toward your goals?
75.2 kg today - lost 1kg since last week
Just passed the 5 stone mark in amount of weight lost since I started 46 weeks ago. 5st = 70 lb
Awesome news, Peter! Congratulations!!
Monday weekly weigh-in! I had it written down and now can't find it. I think the weight was 130.6 from Bob feeding me pizza. I aim to stay below 130. Must exercise. I'm so backlogged with work that I haven't even been doing yoga each day. I need to at least take 15 minutes a day to do something. How are you doing?
... update - I found the piece of paper. I was at 19.2% fat, 55.7% water, and 36.0lb muscle.
It's weekly weigh-in time! I'm at 131.0lb, 19.3% fat, 55.5% water, 36.1lb muscle.

72.7 Kg (160.2 lb) today. still going downwards
Peter - that's awesome news! Well done!
Monday is Weekly Weigh-In Day! At a Chaine des Rotisseurs event last night; I gained a bit

That's 35.4 kg lost in one year (= 78 pounds)
Wednesday Weekly Weighin - 71 kg, lost another whole kilo last week.
Total loss 80.25 pounds
That is incredible, Peter! I can't wait to see you again!
Monday weigh-in a bit late
133.8lb 20.0% fat, 54.7% water, 36.4lb muscle.
Julie the kitty's UTI threw life out of kilter. None of us were sleeping at all, and I was eating a lot of comfort food. She's better now, I get to sleep again, and hopefully I can start eating better, too.
Peter - Bob wants to know if people ask you if you're sick. He says when he lost a lot of weight that a number of people would ask him if he was OK.
That is incredible, Peter! I can't wait to see you again!
The feeling is mutual. I will be in your back garden in 25 Oct - 3 Nov in Charlotte NC to attend the AWS conference. And maybe a bit nearer (?) in Toronto hopefully in August, and of course you're always welcome this side of the pond.
Peter - Bob wants to know if people ask you if you're sick. He says when he lost a lot of weight that a number of people would ask him if he was OK.
No, for those that see me regularly its a gradual shrinking - those that see me rarely do a double take and ask 'have you lost weight?'
We'll see how the schedules work out!
Weekly weigh-in time! 134.4lb, 20.4% fat, 54.6% water, 35.5lb muscle. Need to exercise more. Just have to kick this cold first.
How are you guys doing this week?
O.2 kg increase - following several meals out and indulgent tastings.
Add Toronto/winelands Aug 23 - Sep 1
I'm speaking at a Pinotage event on Toronto on 26 Aug - fancy it?
That's all right on the weight gain, life has its ups and downs
.
I'll email you about Toronto
.
Ooops forgot to weigh myself this morning. Will do that tomorrow. How are you guys doing this week?
Every day's a new start!
The flu had me gain weight. Maybe it is the way I eat while sick

12 weeks to lose second 10k, then another
19 weeks to lose third 10K, then another
28 weeks to lose fourth 10K
unlikely I'm going to lose a further 10K
Wow, you are such an inspiration Peter
.
Weekly weigh-in time! James was over (i.e. pizza, Chinese) so I'm at 139.2lb, 21.3% fat, 53.6% water, 36.1lb muscle. More yoga needed!

Weekly weigh-in time! I'm at 137.2lb, 54.1% water, 20.8% fat, 36.2lb muscle. Holding steady is good; we have Irish soda bread in the house because I'm retesting the recipes in my Irish Weddings book. It's interfering with any weight loss plans
. How are you doing?
Today 66.7 kg -- that's 147 lb.
Had lovely pasta dish last night
That is just amazing, Peter. Kudos to you for pulling that off!
Weekly weigh-in time! I've been fairly busy with a *ton* of projects and have been go-go-go. As a result I am now under 135! 134.8lb, 20.3% fat, 54.8% water, 35.7lb muscle.
How are you doing?

Weekly weigh-in time! I went to a wedding yesterday. Ate everything
. Now at 137.4lb, 20.8% fat, 54.7% water, 36.3lb muscle. Time to renew a focus on health. Did my daily yoga this morning, and this afternoon I'll go for a long walk. How are you guys doing?
Today passed the 10 stone barrier ...
Weight 63.0 kilo exact = 9.92 stones = 138.89 pounds
Loss since start in Feb 2013 44.4 K = 6.99 stone = 97.88 pounds
I'm aiming to maintain this weight. I could lose more, but I am cold much of the time. I've gone from XL and XXL clothing to S, from 42inch waist trousers that were tight to 32 inch that are loose, from 16inch collar regular shirts to 14.5 inch slimfit shirts
Question
For body weight we think in stones here in UK, but the US thinks in pounds, so what are the sort of barriers you have, is it multiples of 10, such as 'I'm aiming to be 120/100/90 pounds?
Peter -
that's awesome!
Yes I have the milestone signs that I load up in every 5 pounds. Some people try to think in 10 pounds but that's a long way to go. It's better to think in 5 pounds as a short term goal.
So I'm at 136 pounds and am aiming to cross the 135 pound barrier.
Weekly weigh-in -
136.0lb
20.7% fat
54.5% water
35.5lb muscle
How are you guys doing this week?
That is just amazing, Peter

Whatever your weight is, it's good to know your starting point. That way you can map out a plan for success
.
My weigh in will have to wait till end of month.
Have no scales.
We've been travelling since 7 December via Sydney to New Zealand. Spent Christmas and New Year by the beach at Paihia on the North Island. Tomorrow travel down to the South Island.
Typical day, go for a jog, have breakfast on balcony overlooking bay, go for a walk, visit a winery, have a great lunch with wine at the winery, come back to apartment, read and write, get takeaway curry, pizza, fish'n'chips, chicken, bottle of wine, read, go to sleep.
Undoubtabtly am putting on some weight, but haven't had to loosen belt yet.
This is where we are

Wednesday weigh in -- today 136.0 pounds
When in my previous post I said "Undoubtabtly am putting on some weight2, well, I didn't.
In fact I lost 0.9 pounds. Amazing must have been the jogging. Not done any since I've been back, too cold and pavements too slippery.
Here I am at 179. Looking to lose to 150.
Hi daisybun
It can be done, I was 179 on 2 Oct 2013 and reached 150 in mid-May 2014
Wednesday Weigh In today, another milestone.
Now less than 9 and a half stones (60.2 kg)

Good God Almighty Peter, you are going to waste away!! I won't recognize you the next time I see you!
Weekly weigh-in! 141.8lb 22.2% fat 53.1% water 34.9lb muscle. We got the kayak rack so we can kayak again! That'll help
.
I also have to get back to eating better. Our grill's been broken so we'll build the new one this week! That will help too

Hi Peter -- you are doing great! I started at 380 pounds. I still feel really huge.
Sheryl - every day is a new step!

Do you weigh yourself weekly? Does it help?

Time to get my Wii set up in the basement so I can dance!
How are you guys doing toward your goals? Making progress?
Sadly, not really. I've been stalled at around `150, and today it's 152. Not sure if this is water bloat or if I've actually gained the weight. I'm reviewing my choices this past week and am going to cut out all juice to see if that helps. I'm also trying to watch my starches again - I don't seem to be able to metabolize them if I have them at more than one meal. Alas, portion control remains difficult, but I have hope!
Thanks, everyone, for reading this, and thanks, Lisa, for the post.
You are an inspiration! That's almost 200 pounds lost, isn't it? You completely rock!
Weekly weigh-in time! I'm now 142.2lb, 21.6% fat, 52.7% water, 37.6lb muscle. I've been above 140 for severalr months now. I need to get back below 140 before my body decides this is my new set weight and it fights to keep me here. Mostly it means getting more active! I do my daily yoga but I'm not Dance-Dance-Revolution dancing any more. Time to clean the basement!
How are you doing?
Weekly weigh-in: 145.2lb, 22.3% fat, 51.8% water, 37.9lb muscle. Wow, time to solidly go low carb again - this rice is killing me! My body just does not like carbs.
Weekly Weigh-in time. 144.0lb, 22.3% fat, 52.2% water, 36.5lb muscle. Need to get back below 140 to start. Every day is a step! We've been bringing ice cream into the house for when my son visits and then I end up eating it. Time to stop that cycle

Weekly weigh-in - 145.0 lb, 22.8% fat, 52.5% water, 35.3lb muscle. I need to get my dance area working again! It got full of clutter. How are you guys doing this week?
My New Year's Day starting weight: 149.6lb, 24.1% fat, 50.9% water, 35.0lb muscle. Every day's an opportunity to improve! Wherever you are, map out a path to where you want to be.
I have a new scale now which automatically sends my weight, fat percentage, water percentage, and all the rest right to my online account. It makes tracking my weight very easy!
Today I'm 149.5lb - the weight has been creeping up when I stopped doing my daily yoga. It's time to find time to do that again.
It's definitely important to track your weight every week and not just the pounds but also the percent fat, percent water, and percent muscles. The amount of muscle you have is critical to your overall healthy.
