I thought that we should start a new thread as the other one was getting a little long.
A group to help us on diets support eachother.
140.5 lbs.... up 0.5 lbs.
I've been crazy busy. Yesterday I had to go one hour out of town for my nephew's birthday party and then rush back to the school to pick up DD1 from her year end trip.
Today there's a lot of activity buzzing around my house. Gifts to buy, parties to attend today and tomorrow, preparing for graduation.....
I'm tired thinking about it.
Hope everyone is doing well.
140.0 lbs.... back at goal weight! I was actually at 142.0 or 142.5 lbs yesterday. I dropped two pounds overnight but it was not in a healthy way! I barely ate anything and, when I did eat, it was bad quick choices.
I was so busy getting the kids and myself ready and, of course, DD1 ready for her graduation last night!
She looked like a princess... she looked so beautiful!
I've been so busy getting her ready for her graduation for the last few days....
The best comment last night was when she said "So... all I get is this piece of paper?"
lol... yup.... ten years of you life to get this piece of paper!
i had written a long post but due to some malfunction it vanished and i hv to type again
now i had reached to 89.8 kgs and had gained back 2.3 kgs out of 2.5 kgs which i had lost in may, in past 4 days i contacted 3 friends of mine residing in different cities of india, who r willing to shed weight and started cutting on calories and sending sms after each meal, they do the same to me so we keep motivated, i am trying to keep calories in 1500 to 1800 per day and adding some excercise to it, as it works best, have taken guidelines from namita jain's 4 week countdown book and it is working,
today on 26th june i am 88.1 kg
i had to lose weight because tomorrow we r going for vacation of 6 days, prior to getting busy in business and all my clothes had tightened, i have to lose 600gms more to reach my 87.5 kg weight by tomorrow, i hope that i be able to do that.
If I am up a few pounds, then I know what to do and I can lose it again... I always want to stay around 140.0 lbs. It was a hard lesson to learn... one I never needed to learn until I had kids... but it was a lesson I worked hard to learn.
Today, June 26: 140.0 lbs.... yay
I'm busy making pizza for DD2's potluck lunch at school. I cannot attend DD1''s and DS's final concert for the year (and assembly to say goodbye to a few teachers as they are retiring) so I sent DH. He has to go. I was already there yesterday for the Grad assembly!
DD2 needs things done as well!
After that, I will be baking cupcakes and decorating them for the graduating class! DD1 will take them in tomorrow. Each cupcake topper is designed specifically for each student! It looks wonderful. It was a lot of work but DD1 did it (with a little help of today's addition).
@Raymh: Have fun on your vacation and I hope you make your goal of 87.5 kg before you go!
@Simba: How are things going? It's been a while....
Enjoy your vacation Raymh! And Shy Congrats on maintaining your goal weight!
Can you hear it? It's the calm that has come over my house today. It's the first day of summer vacation and the kids are sleeping in. They deserve it. It's been a frantic race to the finish line and this year we had graduation and grad parties and final plays and final concerts and....... added to the mix!
But all's well that ends well.
It's a bittersweet moment. I'm not quite ready for DD1 to enter high school but her time has come. This experience has thickened my skin and will get me ready for next year when DD1 enters high school, DD2 graduates and DS continues to grow.
Wow.
... I just had to share my thoughts ...
TOM came to visit and I was totally caught off guard. I've been so busy.
I didn't weigh myself. I usually do but this morning i literally rolled out of bed.... I'm so exhausted with the year end of school! I need a few days to recouperate. Lol
@Raymh: enjoy your holidays and worry about your weigh when you get back! Holidays are meant for enjoying oneself and feeling free to do as we please.
@Simba: lol.... I feel for you! Summer holidays hasn't quite kicked in yet but I give them a couple of days before i start hearing the dreadful "i'm bored!" Agh.
Moving is a stressful time. I would advise that you don't fret too much about the weight gain. Just be aware of what you're doing and eating and try to maintain the weight you're at. After the stress releases itself, then you should focus on yourself again and make sure you do get into the 160's. You can and will do it. You already have. You've seen the number so you know it's possible. Just hang in there and get done what you need to get done.
I'm back and I weighed myself this morning :(
TOM is over and the result of too much good food is that I weighed in at 143.5 lbs! I'm 3.5lbs over my goal weight..... here we go again. Unfortunately, I have to go out of town again for another family gathering this weekend. It only leaves me with three days to get rid of that weight and show off my 'new' body to some people I haven't seen in one year! I only met them a year ago and I was at least 25 lbs more than I am now.
141.5 lbs..... I dropped 2.0 lbs overnight!
I ate everything but I also incorporated all the food groups and has two glasses of water!
I even ate a small bag of potato chips and quite a few sunflower seeds, more starch......
Happy July 4th, Simba.... my American friend!
Hope everything is going well for you.
@Raymh: You must be back by now. I hope your holiday was restful and your launch of your business goes well.
Try to take a minute and let us know what's going on.
I like this.
I actually did not really try to lose the weight yesterday..... I didn't even drink any water and didn't 'get in' all my foods! But i am thankful for the outcome.
I plan to drink water today (I honestly believe that helps me a lot) and try and get in all my food groups!
Even if i don't lose anything by tomorrow, at least i'm closer to my goal again and my clothes will still look fine.
@Raymh: I guess you have to work on some pounds that you might have gained on holidays? I hope you didn't gain much!
@Simba: Are your kids driving you crazy yet? lol
It's either 141.0 or 140.5 lbs. I was so tired and couldn't barely open my eyes this morning and when i came to post, i'd forgotten what i actually saw. lol
I was up really late making a speciality regional dish to take to the States today. DH's aunt requested me to make it! lol.... I'm not even from that particular culture but I LOVE this dish and I learned how to make it... even better than all the aunts! None of DH's cousins even try to make it. I guess that is why I was asked to make it.
I haven't made it in a long time.... at least more than two years (I've been in my new house for almost two years) and I'd forgotten how much work was involved in making it.
I'll be leaving today for the States and will be back tomorrow evening or Monday afternoon.... not sure.
Have a great weekend and we'll chat when I get back.
As predicted... I ended up gaining some weight! I knew i would. I hardly drank any water and I had too good a time eating all the yummy food and chatting with my family.
My new weight is 143.0 lbs.... so I gained two pounds.
I saw some people after a long time and they were pleasantly surprised to see my weight loss. Some made comments and, of course, some just made sideway glances to 'check' me out. No matter. I KNOW how I look and I don't need those 'jealous' types giving me compliments because they don't really mean it!
It was good. I had a good time.
I brought back two nieces... from different family members.... for a couple of days. They'll be going back to their respective homes by the end of the week.
@Shy, kids aren't driving me crazy yet. Just feel like a taxi driver chauffeuring my kids and their friends around. lol
@Raymh, I hope you enjoyed your vacation!
That's fantastic that you were down 2 lbs... sometimes we shouldn't try to figure out why and just run with it! lol
I'm glad that the weight is coming off. I'll bet it has to do with your exercise....
I am EXACTLY in the same boat at you in regards to how I'm losing the weight...
I dropped 2 lbs overnight and have no idea how as I am eating everything I want to and not even caring about the portion sizes! In fact, I ate salmon with tons of cream sauce and then went out for frozen yogurt and put all the candies and junk on it.
I'm quite shocked that i actually lost the weight.
I should mention that i had to cut the grass... well at least half of it as DH cut the other half.... and it was sooooooo long! We are having crazy weather around here and it hasn't stopped. There is always rain and you have to work around the rain to get the yard work done. And going away for two weekends in a row doesn't help. It rained everyday during the week! lol
Anyways...maybe all that pushing of the lawnmower and the lifting of the heavy bags filled with grass gave me enough exercise.....
Who knows, like I said, just take the gifts when you get them.
New weight: 141.0 lbs
