Okay.... I guess I didn't measure everything....
Actually, I did't get in all my requirements. I went for a blood test in the morning and I spent the evening painting my daughter's room. Finally.... we only bought everything she needed six months ago!!!!!

145.0 lbs. I went up 0.5 lbs. Hmmm.....

Better luck today.

Jan 19

Still 145.0 lbs or 145.5 lbs
I don't know what's going on. It sure was nice to see that 144.5 once. It's given me motivation to know that I can be that number.
I think my body is adjusting to the fact that I am losing more and it wan't to 'hold' on to the fat still.... until it knows that I'm not starving it.
lol

I gained 1.5 lbs. I don't know how that happened been eating good and exercising. My husband thinks it is because I have problems with constipation. I try to get in lots of fiber and water, but it is not helping. I think I am going to finally take the med my Dr. prescribed for me...hopefully it helps! lol

I went to the States on the weekend and was not around to weigh myself. I overate some items that I know I shouldn't have but....... (it's not everyday you get these foods!)

I gained some serious weight. I'm at 147.0 lbs. I don't know what's going on. I've been slowly climbing everyday since I hit my all time low. It seemed to only last one day.
These last ten pounds are taking their toll on me.

@Simba: Looks like we're in the same boat! I hope your meds work for you and you shed those pounds quickly.

I just got back from the doctor and she told me i have very low iron. I guess I sort of knew that but, everything makes sense now. Besides it's been years since I had a blood test. I have to take the horse pills for three months at least. Do you know what happens to a person who takes iron pills? Constipation. lol

22 jan 2013-- 85.5 kg, back to square one
i had many guests at home and a lot of cooking and eating, i have not lost any eight in past 22 days, now will try harder

dont worry shy, u will do it
my devrani (sister in law, wife of my hubby's younger brother) had come to visit us, she has lost 15 kgs, now she wears XS (extra small size) and i wera XXL (extra extra large), such a shame on me, i embarass my hubby

@simba, dont worry dear we will do it

Jan 22

Dropped 2 lbs! My weight this morning was 145.0 lbs. I don't know what's going on but I'll take it.

@Raymh: You can do it. You've already done it! Unfortunately, when we go somewhere or when we have visitors, it's very hard to stay on track and remain focused. We do the best we can but usually we end up regaining some of the weight we took off.
Raymh, you are not an embarrassment to your hubby. Stop thinking that way. You are already losing weight. You lost 10 lbs so far. Maybe no one noticed but when you lose another 10 lbs, people will notice. Don't give up. Keep on doing what you are doing and you will soon see some great changes in your body.
If your devrani didn't lose weight, would she be an embarrassment to her hubby?? I doubt it. She just happened to have started sooner than you did and she had great results to show for it. Next time you see her you will also look as great as she does.
My devrani actually gained some weight. When I saw her during the holidays, she obviously noticed my weight loss but, she didn't say anything. Not one word.... not even a compliment. She just made comments like she feels like a balloon... if she eats more she's going to pop. She only ate a little bit of food and sat there complaining of how much she ate and talking about going to the gym... that she just can't sit around... while we were still eating our dinner. (Who goes on holidays to visit family for three days and want to go to the gym? Her family packed their appropriate clothes and they went out for three hours while the rest of the family sat around and enjoyed each other's company. She said she would take my kids but, I didn't pack like that! We came to spend time with eachother and not go off and do our own thing. When we get back home we can fall back into routine. I couldn't believe it!
Anyways, it seemed that no one else noticed my weight loss. No one said anything. I was clearly wearing smaller jeans/pants and they were fitting loosely on me. Even my tops looked like i lost weight. I guess it was because I still wear loose fitting clothes. I'm still wearing size M when I can easily wear a S or even XS (depending on the brand/store). I like the clothes to look nice and flattering on me. Okay... so since then, I've lost inches... not pounds really... but inches. Those same clothes look even better now. My body is being sculpted and looking even better now. I think I dropped another size because the pants are literally falling down onto my hips and are not looking flattering on. I don't have clothes in this size range to try on and see. I will have to go to the store one day and try on clothes to see. Perhaps I will try on size S tops to see how those look as well....
I don't know how I got onto this topic and I'm rambling on. Sorry.
You can do it. You have it in you.

145.0 lbs
I'm happy with this as we went out to a restaurant for dinner. It was a celebration dinner and, wow, the food was fantastic!
One week ago I weighed in at 144.5 lbs.

23 jan 2013-- 85.5 kg

24 jan 2013-- 85.1 kg
it is amazing that how did i lose weight yesterday, i took rest most of the time and ate to my heart's fill and even took dinner too, ate chocolates etc, because from today onwards i am coming back on my track

@shy, thank u veryyyyyyyyyyyy much dear for ur encouragement, it seems ur devrani was jealous and that's why no compliment was offered from her family side, and yes i do feel that u should wear appropriate sized clothes now so that ur eight loss be visible to everybody clearly, plz go ahead ith size S,

and hey i hv lost 8 kgs (17 lbs), but it is been really slow and i had put on them just lately now i am at a weight (85 kg) which has been my weight since past 2-3 years so when i will reach 79 kgs people will notice, i first hv to reach 83 kgs

145.0 lbs
At least I'm maintaining this weight and not gaining anymore.

@Raymh: That's great news that ur back on track again. Your guests are gone and now you need to focus on yourself again and get those pounds off!

I also thought that my sister-in-law was jealous. She just kept looking at me and I could feel her eyes still on me even though my back was turned!
You know, we found a bag of my FIL's chocolates and she opened up the bag and grabbed two. She offered me some and I grabbed a handful and realized they were my favourite and grabbed more! She just looked stunned. I think she thought I wouldn't eat it or something (as I've lost weight) and looked somewhat disappointed that I took more.
Strange.

Hi Girls! Congrats to both of you on your losses!

I am getting my motivation back, as I was starting to get discouraged. I weighed myself yesterday, and I lost .5 pounds. I am getting strict with my diet again. One of my relatives are getting married in April. There are going to be people there I haven't seen in years. So I am using this to help push myself! I want to wear a nice form fitting dress :)

Thanks for your support, Simba.
I think we're all in the same boat. We all seemed to have gained a couple of pounds and have become discouraged! However, now it seems that we have all found our motivation again and are jumping on that band wagon!
I'm glad you're back.... this 'club' is really thin. Congratulations on your .5 lbs loss! Fantastic.... keep it up. Please keep posting your weight everyday. How else can we encourage and support those that really need it?
I'm sure you will fit into a very slimming dress for the wedding! This is a great motivation.

I was so careful of weighing and measuring everything yesterday. I also avoided 'extras' that I've been sneaking in. The result? I dropped one pound overnight!
Current weight: 144.0 lbs
Goal weight: 140.0 lbs

4 more lbs to go!!!!!!

@SIMBA, AND SHY-- THAT'S GR8 , WE all are losing weight, and shy u just hv to go 4 lbs, that's really gr8


Starting weight-- 93 kg (205 lbs on a frame of 157 cm, BMI --37.5)
25 jan 2013-- 84.8 kg
26 jan 2013-- 84.7 kg (186.7 lbs ,BMI-- 34.1 )

Raymh..... just look at you go!!! Those pounds seem to be melting off!
I'm very happy to see that your BMI has gone down so much. That's what really matters, in the long haul, for me. I put my health first and had to focus on the spare tire I had around my waist. The result is that I have decreased my BMI and have lost weight! Who can be down and negative about that, right?

Jan 26

I dropped 0.5 lbs overnight......
Current weight: 143.3 lbs
Goal weight: 140.0 lbs

3.5 lbs to go!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!

@Simba: Where are you? You need to be on here and be accountable for your actions. We're here to help eachother!

I'm here! Did not weigh myself today. I try to only weigh in once a week, or I get too obsessive with my weight. But I have a non scale victory to report. I fit into my daughter's size 7 jeans!!! One of my goals was to fit into her jeans...well I did it! They are tight, but I still fit into them. LOL

Keep up the good work ladies! You guys are doing great :)
