What??????
I dropped 2.5 lbs overnight!!!! That's unheard of .... especially for me!
I'm so excited. I'm so pumped. I'm so motivated. I'm so going to reach my goal!
I was watching my serving sizes and I drank 3 glasses of water. I also had my iron meds.
You KNOW I'm going to be watching everything now. This is the kickstart I needed.
Funny thing is I even had three cookies last night ... I just couldn't stop the urge. I guess my body is ready to let go of the extra weight I put on during the holidays. It must like itself better a few pounds lighter! lol
I dropped one pound overnight! I'm not sure how it happened considering that I ended up getting fish and chips for supper. Nice fried food. Oh.... and I also had one vegetable samosa. More fried food!
I'm not sure how but I'll take it!!!!
I did eat everything else that I needed to yesterday. I also had four glasses of water!
Current weight: 144.0
Goal weight; 140.0
4 lbs to go! (I was at 142.0 lbs before I left for my vacation)
Thanks Simba... I hear you and echo the same sentiments. I am also bewildered as to how I lost weight eating the foods I was. Maybe the scales are in our favour and the forces that be want us to succeed?
Whatever it is, I'll take it!
Congrats to you on losing one pound. That's fantastic. You are getting closer and closer to your goal. BTW, you didn't answer my last question... (IF you feel you can).... what is your goal weight and are you still on track for losing whatever weight you have set for yourself for the upcoming wedding? I recall that you mentioned you wanted to wear a form fitting dress. Do let me know if you don't mind :)
March 8
Yes!!! I dropped another pound overnight. Goodbye and I won't see you later. Good riddance!
Actually I must confess.... I think my scale may need new batteries... I stepped on and saw 143.0 lbs and couldn't believe that I lost one pound and I stepped on again. This time it said 144.0 lbs. I don't know what to make of this. I want to believe the 143.0 as it gives me the motivation I need to keep going and measuring and weighing everything. (Not that I really have since I got back) lol
Current weight; 143.0
Goal weight: 140.0
3lbs to go!
@Raymh; I have been wondering where you're at as well. I hope everything is fine with you and your family. Do pop in and let us know what's up. We're here for you. Remember we're all in this together....
The sun is shining and it is actually warm(ish) outside. The clocks go ahead tonight..... AHHH.... spring is in the air! I've got so much motivation. I've got a fire under my feet.
My kids have caught up (mostly) with all their missed schoolwork. I have groceries in the house and I can cook. This is the official week of spring break and I'm glad. We need a little rest from the hectic holidays and the tremendous workload of school stuff that had to be handed in before this week.
You'd think I'd listen to my own words and relax and take it easy for a couple of days. I've already started spring cleaning my desk area. I have stuff in a box underneath that hasn't been unpacked since we moved in. Soooo, I started this task. This is day two and I'm no where near done. It's a small desk that folds up and looks neat when not in use... I have no idea how much junk and precious memories I shoved into the small shelves. It's taking forever to get through it all. I should have stopped there but no... I had to open the box as well. lol
At least I'll be done and things will finally be organized.... after all these years. DH has an office and I can tuck this important items in there.
I've finally caught up to my 9 loads of laundry. Where did all those clothes come from??? You'd think I'd finish one task completely then start another. That's my biggest downfall. I have too many tasks on the go and the rest of the house gets neglected. You should see my kitchen. lol
Anyways... sorry to bore you... I dropped two pounds overnight!!!!!
I can't believe it! TWO POUNDS!!! I'm less today than before I went away!
Current weight: 141.0
Goal weight; 140.0
ONE pound to go to reach my goal!!!!!
I'm so excited!
Awwww..... the streak is over!
It was a good run.
I stayed the same weight today... 141.0 lbs.
However, I do think I could have edged down a bit if I stayed true to the path. But I didn't. I had company coming over late evening and is here to stay for a few days. I was so busy cleaning up my very neglected house almost to the minute they came! I hardly ate what I was supposed to. Hopefully I can try to keep on track today.
BTW, my mess of my desk is still all over the dinning room table and various places. I just stopped that task and jumped right into housework. I guess I should start to clean that up.
@shy and simba, i am so sorry dearies i have not been around for such a long time,
i hv been very busy as u need i hv a special need daughter, she fell seriously ill while i was out of the station and only 2 days ago she got well, i was myself very ill had to take nebulisations
then i am busy nowadays searching for appropriate services and school for my dd, and i hv to finish my project too and have to go out of station once again, i dont know my current weight , having periods too
i can not tell when i will be back to join u sweeties once again, probably this march month will go in settling these issues then for next 3 months i will be free, india will be having hot summer, so less appetite, and it will be easier to do dieting
i am very happy shy, u hv almost achieved ur target,
and simba u r just 171 lbs, we both had started on similar weights but u have been deligent n have lost approx 40 lbs, am i right ?, u r incredible, i am very happy for u
Shy that is awesome!! Only 1 pound to lose and you will be at your goal!!
Raymh, I am so sorry to hear you & your daughter were ill. Sending you both get well wishes!
I have set a mini goal for myself of 160 lbs for the wedding on 4/20. My highest weight was 227 lbs. My lowest weight was 156 lbs in Feb 2010. So I had lost a total of 70 lbs. I gained back around 30 lbs which I am now trying to lose. So far I have lost about 15 lbs. I have been having the hardest time getting out the 170's. My body seems comfortable at this weight. Wish me luck.
HI Guys.... I'm back! Although I was here all along, I found it hard to get to my computer!
I had five extra children in my house until late last night. I was so busy keeping everyone entertained and fed. Plus, the boys hogged my computer with all those games that had to be played!
I was so busy and had no time to think about what I was eating. My mind and my attention was always focused somewhere else!
Needless to say, I gained back two pounds..... oh how easy it is to gain back.
Raymh: I'm glad you're back. I'm so sorry to hear about your, and your DD's, illness. I hope you start to feel better soon. I also hope you can find an appropriate school for your DD and that things will start to settle down for you.
I love your humour. I guess the upside to the extreme heat in India is that you can lose weight due to lack of interest in food! That's a plus side. I hope it works out for you.
Simba; You will reach your mini goal for sure. You have 11 lbs to go until then. It's doable. Just two pounds to go to get into the 160's .... you can do it and will be out of you rut soon.
Have you picked out a dress yet? I'll bet it's gorgeous!
I have to get back on track and focus again! I was just one pound away and then I got house guests. Ah... the ups and down's of dieting!
Still holding at 143.0 lbs. I ate like crazy yesterday.... I'm surprised that I didn't gain anymore!!!
Today I'm going to focus again and watch what I eat.
Wish me luck!
I am up 1 lbs this week. Shy, you and I are in the same boat with eating. I've been eating whatever I want and have not been in the mood to exercise. I need to get back on track, so that I can go buy a nice dress for the wedding!
Simba, I think we both need a swift kick in the 'you know what.' Seriously. We work so hard to lose it but can gain it back overnight due to some poor choices.
It's so easy to stay off the wagon when we fall off of it.... why is it so hard to get back on????
I seem to take advantage of falling off.
Anywho... I lost 0.5 lb overnight without even really trying. Imagine if I tried!
Current weight: 142.5
Goal weight: 140.0
2.5 lbs to go!!!!
What??????

Goal weight: 140.0
5.0 lbs to go!!
Where is everybody????
I dropped one pound overnight! I'm not sure how it happened considering that I ended up getting fish and chips for supper. Nice fried food. Oh.... and I also had one vegetable samosa. More fried food!
I'm not sure how but I'll take it!!!!

I weighed in at 171 lbs. I lost a pound. I don't know how after all the birthday cake I ate.
Raymh, I hope you are okay. You haven't posted in a few days.
Whatever it is, I'll take it!
