It’s time for our Week 7 Nutrisystem recap!
Beeb’s Weigh-In:
Starting Weight: 164.5 lbs
Week 7 weight: 156 lbs
Total Weight Lost: 8.5 lbs
Goal Weight: 110 lbs
I also took my measurements and got 11.5″ on my arms, 38″ on my chest, 33″ on my waist, 41″ on my hips, and 20″ on the thighs. That’s half an inch up on the arms, 1.5″ down on the chest, 1″ down on the waist, and half an inch down on the thighs, with the hips remaining the same. The numbers vary greatly each week so I’m still doing my best to get used to measuring and keep it as consistent as possible.
Jai’s Weigh-In:
Starting Weight: 217.5 lbs
Week 6 Weight: 196.8 lbs
Total Weight Lost: 20.7 lbs
Goal Weight: 158 lbs
Jai’s measurements were 13.5″ on the arms, 22″ on the thighs, 39″ on the hips, and 42″ on the chest. That’s half an inch up on the chest, 1.5″ down on the thighs, half an inch down on the hips, with the arms staying the same. I’m looking at the piece of paper Jai wrote this down on and it looks like he forgot to measure his waist – oops! Like I said, we’re still getting used to taking our measurements. 😉
This week Jai and I both lost 1.6 pounds each! Jai has now reached the 20-pound milestone and will be getting another Nutribear to add to his collection. 🙂 Water and carrots seem to have made all of the difference. After last week, we made a concerted effort to drink a lot of water and be mindful of getting the vegetables in. And hey presto, 1.6 pounds down! I really think this is what made the difference, as I was not able to do my physiotherapy at all last week so I didn’t get in any physical activity. So, it’s not like I burned it off with a lot of exercise, and of course the Nutrisystem entrees remain the same each week. Here are my two hints for increasing water and veggie intake:
1. If you are tired and busy, then try pouring your first 32 oz bottle of water around lunchtime before your afternoon coffee. If I need to finish my water before my pick-me-up cup of joe, I find I drink it a lot faster. 😉
2. Buy a big bag of carrots in bulk (Cheap!), and peel them all in one sitting. Then you have carrots ready-to-eat in the fridge that you can grab whenever. I’m pretty sure I read a tip to this effect on Money Saving Mom and it really does help. It seems so silly, but when things get chaotic I respond well to anything I can do with absolute ease. I’m OK with repetition, so I’ve been happy eating a lot of carrots, because it means I don’t have to think about preparing anything. Ha!
So you may be wondering why I didn’t do any physiotherapy last week. The reason is actually because I got such a terrible sunburn during my recent beach party that it was hard to move my arms!
I went outside for a walk for the first time yesterday since getting the burn, and even though I was completely covered with a long-sleeved shirt buttoned up to my neck, I could still feel the sunshine beating down on it and making the burn angrier, so I think I’m going to just let this heal up completely before I spend any more extended time in the sun! It’s not a big deal of course, just uncomfortable. Surprisingly though, even though I missed a week of physiotherapy and avoided icing my knees (Because they got burnt too and ice can make sunburns worse!), my knee function is actually doing great right now – I’ve been able to stay on my feet for longer periods without discomfort the last few days, which is wonderful.
So things are going really well! I’m starting to feel healthier thanks to taking care of my body with a good diet, losing 8 1/2 pounds and also making sleep a bigger priority. We’re coming up on our second month milestone and I can’t wait!

Oh, I feel for you! I got a nasty burn early in the Spring and it hurt so bad! Sorry about that, but yay for your continued success with this program!
OUCH! That’s some burn. Congrats on the weight loss – you’re both doing great! It makes me a little crazy when my husband loses weight so much faster than me.
You’re both doing great! That burn looks painful, though. I got a terrible burn last year on my shoulders and I could barely even do anything, even lay down to sleep.
Way to go! That sunburn looks bad though. Try some aloe from a real aloe plant..its better than the over the counter stuff. that should help alot
Way to go, both of you! I am impressed with your ability to stick to it!
I’m not sure which this post made me want to do more- drink more water, or bathe in sunscreen! That burn looks painful! 🙁 But congrats on your losses!
Congrats on your progress! Also try aloe jell and put it in the refrigerator and let it get cool and it feels so good when you apply it to a sunburn. Please be careful out in the sun.
Congrats! Hope the sunburn heals quickly.
wow that is some burn!
you’re still rocking it! Keep up the good work and don’t forget the sunscreen! 🙂
Oh, I feel for you. Make sure you let it heal, because my husband had one nasty sun burn and it was so painful to see him with it.
You are probably wise to let your burn heal. It looks painful. I’m so happy for you that you and Jai are continuing to loose weight. It is exciting to see you be so successful.
You two rock! So inspiring. PS – be careful in the sun!
Exactly what is All around this time last 12 mohnts, the country was captivated by among the greatest cost-free agent offseasons the NBA will ever see. Lebron James, Amare Stoudemire and Chris Bosh headlined the list of free agents set to get major contracts with their new respective teams. On July 8, 2010, James created his decision to take his talents to South Seaside, and also the all hell broke loose. A year later, through an NBA Lockout looming, basketball has given us a list of totally free brokers that cannot even maintain a candle towards the cast highlighted last yr. Numerous will agree that Tyson Chandler will probably be the most preferred free of charge agent this offseason, supplied how he performed from the NBA Finals. But Tyson Chandler? ten PPG and nine RPG? It’s harmless to state, NBA No cost Company 2011 might be shallow at finest. There are actually players on this record which can come up with a big difference to groups, while, but perhaps we’re continue to just trapped in 2010, wherever superstar cost-free brokers were up for grabs. Now in 2011, we’re on the lookout at youthful readily available people searching for paydays from a weak totally free agent class. Superior for them, and possibly lousy to your team if they are wanting premiere talent, or prefer to overpay for every portion of the lackluster Free of charge Company 2011. Here are ten youthful players that happen to be established to have paid this offseason. (For that sake of the record, I number of the cut-off of young at 30-years old) 10. Glen Davis The Big Baby himself will probably be in the marketplace this offseason, and looking to get a mighty significant paycheck for all the perform he did in Boston these previous 4 seasons. Generally from the bench, Davis played a significant job for your Celtics as somebody that may deliver in confined minutes. He averaged 11 PPG and seven RPG while in Boston, and is viewed as someplace approximately the 14th or 15th finest offered player in cost-free agency this offseason. For that explanation, Davis’ $3.three million he designed previous period will almost certainly improve in free of charge agency. Is he worthwhile, though? Try to look for Davis to produce somewhere around $5 million up coming time. nine. Kris Humphries Mr. Kim Kardashian will never have any income challenges in the near future, given that he’s engaged for the dollars cow fact star, but he may possibly choose to hold some sort of dignity by raking inside a paycheck or two future time. Humphries produced $3.two million very last period. Shell out no thoughts that the ring he bought Kardashian was $2.5 million, however. The good news is for Humphries, he experienced a breakout season for the New Jersey Nets very last season, averaging 10PPG and ten RPG. With these quantities, he must declare a pay out bring up this next time, no matter if he’ll want it or not. Anticipate close to $5 million following season Mr. Kardashian-Humphries. eight. Nick Young Close to Young’s highlight reel plays final period, his 17 PPG for that Washington Wizards should really do the trick. He has improved just about every yr since remaining inside the league, and it culminated having a wonderful 2010-11. Younger is often a restricted free agent, indicating all Washington would need to do is throw a qualifying offer at him to keep his companies for an additional season. The 26-year-old will likely not be acquiring considerably in cost-free company, so seek out him to receive in between $3 and $4 million future period. seven. Carl Landry Many teams are starting to take discover from the very good model of basketball Landry is taking part in while in the NBA. The 6’9 ahead put up 11 PPG past period, whilst making his living cleansing up the boards and performing the things that go unnoticed to the basketball courtroom. Landry was paid $3 million final period, however the totally free agent market is not sure what to generate of hm rather still. Assume all around $5 million upcoming time to the 27-year-old. 6. Aaron Brooks The speedy restricted absolutely free agent might be obtaining a number of presents from teams this offseason. A lot of groups would love a quick and safe ball-handler at the position guard situation. He is presently becoming pursued with the Sacramento Kings, who could use his providers to provide the ball into the duo of Tyreke Evans and Jimmer Fredette. That might not be a negative gig for Brooks. Past period, Brooks designed $2.02 million. But be expecting close to $4 million upcoming season. 5. Greg Oden Has the general public overlooked about this man? The No. 1 pick out of Ohio State in 2007 is a free of charge agent this time, placing teams at a crossroads regarding irrespective of whether or not he could be a good middle in this particular league. Accidents have plagued him his total career thus far, but he’ll be obtaining paid this offseason on account of the what if variable. Imagine if Oden receives nutritious and lives as much as his No. 1 total draft choose status? If wholesome, Oden is without doubt one of the greatest centers inside the video game, so why don’t you require an opportunity on him? Expect him to land a agreement for up coming period all around $7 million, irrespective of participating in in just eighty two whole NBA online games. 4. Rodney Stuckey Stuckey is not going to be acquiring pretty substantial delivers this offseason, but he can still become a wonderful acquisition on the stage guard situation for lots of NBA teams. He set up fifteen PPG and five APG very last season for the awful Detroit Pistons, nonetheless they could be the crew spending him the best this offseason. Does Stuckey need to keep in Detroit or test anything new somewhere else? We’ll discover out. Quite possibly the most he is having in Detroit would be approximately $4 million, but be expecting Stuckey to land someplace amongst $3 and $4 million for future period. 3. Jeff Eco-friendly Green was included within the trade that allegedly destroyed the way of life of basketball in Boston. The Celtics gave up Kendrick Perkins in trade for Eco-friendly if you want to receive younger and much more athletic, when the fact is they ruined the team chemistry, and most of all, the team’s rebounding capacity. As a result of that transfer, Green is in this to the prolonged haul using the Celtics. Boston has no other choice. Hope him to land a great spend bring up this offseason, somewhere about $7 million for many ages. 2. Marc Gasol Gasol’s 11 PPG and seven RPG has groups drooling for that 7’1 centre this offseason. Is he another person a young team can construct about? From time to time, evidently way, but he continue to contains a ton to establish to NBA teams. As a consequence of his dimensions and qualities on both of those the defensive and offensive sides with the ball, search for Gasol to become certainly one of the larger paid out players this offseason. A staff with serious pockets could toss just as much as $9 million in the 26-year-old following period. 1. Tyson Chandler Chandler, for much better or for even worse, is the best participant about the free of charge company marketplace this offseason. He’s a player which can improve the complexion of a team by contributing with his uptempo and fearless model of enjoy. At 7’1 , Chandler is not really anyone that a crew can make all over, but many of us observed what transpired this last period on the Dallas Mavericks and exactly how their workforce improved with him within the line-up. With his potential to bring electrical power to a staff with the heart situation, count on Chandler to land a wholesome deal this offseason worthy of someplace about $10 million.
