Diet and Fitness Buddies Community Group
A group to help us on diets support eachother.
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.
I think it's water retention as I think it's TOM soon. I always feel sluggish and my ankles hurt for a few days before. This may also help explain my eating habits lately. I just can't seem to stop eating salty chips. I know better yet I can't stop myself.
To be honest, I'm not really trying.
I was on a good run and you'd think that would motivate me to keep going to reach my goal but .... it's spring break around here and we're constantly making last minute plans or changing the plans that were made as something else comes up.
It's very hard to stay on track at times like this.
I'll start again tomorrow when the kids get back to school.
Still not trying. I just can't seem to get motivated. And to think I was one pound away! That should motivate me itself!
I guess I just got discouraged because I was doing so well and then something happened, again, to stop my efforts.
I was doing well all day until I grabbed a box of the new cracker chips and inhaled the whole box! Seriously.... I ate it all.
I'm shocked that I actually went down half a pound.
I'm going to do my best today for sure.... I have a new motivation.
My SIL and family is coming for a visit to my inlaws in April. I haven't seen them since x-mas. I had lost enough weight to notice but she never said anything. Maybe she didn't notice or maybe she was jealous. I'm going for the last one. You know how there's always that one person in your life......
Anyways.... it's quite obvious that I lost weight since I last saw her and I want her to be green with envy. I know, I'm horrible... but I really want it. (She's rubbed me the wrong way lately and I want her to be envious.... a sort of payback)
I am determined to reach my goal by mid April (my birthday) and I think I would like to add another 5lbs to the mix. I am going to definitely achieve 140 lbs but I would like to push it to 135 lbs. So.... that means I have 8 lbs to lose in less than a month. That's my new goal. Whatever I lose until I see her will be a bonus.
I need you guys for support.
Today is a new day! I am off to a good start. I have exactly 4 weeks until the wedding. So at a healthy weight loss of 2lbs a week. I will be at 164 lbs by the wedding...160 lbs would be even better!
We CAN do this!! I just need to stay focused!
You just have to stay focused. NO MORE SNACKING. NO MORE SWAYING OFF THE PATH. Just think of the reward of everyone seeing you in a flattering dress and being envious of you! You can eat all you want at the wedding... that will just throw them off too. They'll be asking how you are looking so great if you can eat everything! You'll have the last laugh.
KEEP FOCUSED.
Today is a new day for me as well. I didn't really try to stay on my plan... I did my best to be aware of what I was doing and I actually ended up losing one pound overnight!
New weight; 142.0
Goal: 140.0
2 lbs to go. Just about two weeks ago I only had one pound to go :( Just goes to show how things can change so much if you're not careful and you let yourself go. Oh well. Today is a new day and I'm going to be on that bandwagon. I want to reach 140 and then reassess my weight.... I'm really pushing for losing another 5.
Dropped half a pound!!!!
Again, to be honest, I wasn't 100% on board.... I would say 80%.
But I'm excited that my lame attempts are producing weight loss. This is pumping me up and getting me motivated again!
Unfortunately, Easter holidays are around the corner and I'm going to my Moms... as I do every year... and there will be lots of good food that my efforts will be jeopardized again. It's really hard for me to stay on track when I go away. Agh!
Hopefully I can reach my goal of 140 by then... or more. I really want there to be less of me when my SIL comes to Canada. I know there already is less of me but .....
Current weight; 141.5
Goal: 140.0
1.5 lbs to go!
Still at 141.5 lbs
I am officially on the bandwagon and am determined to at least see my goal achieved before Easter. I'm always so close and then something happens and I have to start all over again. Not this time. The goal will be achieved and then I can mess things up at Easter! lol
I need to feed accomplished!
Goal for the day: Drink water. I'm very bad for that. I barely drank one glass yesterday.
Hmmm....
I know I would have lost weight and reported it this morning but.... I ended up eating tons of pizza last night and that affected my scale.
I'm glad that I'm still 141.5 lbs.
That pizza was sooooooo good. No regrets.
I'm happy that you popped in to post a quick note. Take care of yourself and your daughter. I hope everything works out for both of you and then you can settle in to a 'normal' life.... whatever that is! lol
You are such a good mother as you put your child's needs ahead of yours.
You can deal with the weight loss when you come back and are stable... We're here for you.
March 24
Still 141.5 lbs. At least I'm not gaining.... that's a good start.
I'll be going to my mom's on Good Friday and will be there until Sunday morning. I've got less than a week to get to 140.0 lbs! I don't know.... the scale is not budging.
Hey... I went down 0.5 lbs! I was starting to wonder...
Also, funny thing is it's TOM for me. I have serious water retention and was assuming that's why the weight wasn't coming down. That's odd for me to lose when it's the beginning of TOM. I usually gain. Strange.
New weight: 141.0
Goal: 140.0
1.0 lb to go.
Still 141.0 lbs.
I don't know if I'll make my goal by Good Friday! I've got serious water retention so I don't really know my true weight. I'm still in shock that I actually didn't gain!
It would be nice to see the scale showing me 140.0 before I go to my mom's.
I stepped on the scale... stood there for a bit... doubted what I saw and stepped off. I continued with the same process again and it was the exact same scenario..... Staring right back at me was a number I haven't seen in a very, very, very long time.
Current weight: 140.5 lbs
Goal weight; 140.0 lbs
0.5 lb to go! I may just make my goal before Good Friday! I'm hopeful. But then it will all get messed up on the weekend anyways.... it's a never ending cycle for me. Too much family and too many gatherings.
Agh.
I am weighed in yesterday at 171 lbs. I will probably gain after Easter though! You are right it is a never ending cycle.
