The Numbers
I think we’re all finding Round 2 flat out difficult. When you shift from weight-loss to maintenance (and the fear of a bikini shot seems months away) PLUS trying to keep weight off during the absolute worst time of the year, you’re bound to get frustrated. Which is where all four of us are at. In fact, as of yesterday’s weigh in, none of us are at or below our Round 1 weigh-in. FAIL.
So each week, as the FML’s, OMG’s and WTF’s fly furiously between us on Thursdays, I think it’s time we sit down and figure out exactly how much of us need to lose to avoid getting the dreaded bikini shot come January 14. For all of us, it isn’t about maintenace anymore — we need to go back into weight-loss mode. Remember, if we gain 2% or more of our weight back, we’ve got some pictures to post. So, um, here we go.
Ashley:
- Round 1 final-weigh-in: 153.4
- 1.99% max threshold: 156.5
- Current weight: 155.0
- Status: Safe… for now…
Jenni:
- Round 1 final-weigh-in: 137.8
- 1.99% max threshold: 140.5
- Current weight: 140.0
- Status: Safe… but way too close for comfort
Meredith:
- Round 1 final-weigh-in: 114.6
- 1.99% max threshold: 116.9
- Current weight: 120.8 (needs to lose 3.9 pounds to avoid bikini)
- Status: Eek! Out of range.
Kristine:
- Round 1 final-weigh-in: 117.0
- 1.99% max threshold: 119.3
- Current weight: 122.0 (needs to lose 2.7 pounds to avoid bikini)
- Status: Eek! Out of range.
I mainly posted this information as a reminder to ourselves that we need to stay accountable over the course of the next few weeks — with Christmas and New Year’s fast approaching (and Mere and I both have serious @fatroll fail work Christmas parties tonight), we must continue to be self-aware of our weight to avoid the dreaded bikini photo.
Wish us luck!
