Let's try our best to stay focused and keep motivated. We can do this. We've already done it.... and then life happens and we gain some back.
Let's post daily so that we are held accountable for our actions and will hopefully get the scolding and/or encouragement from eachother to keep going.
Lol, Raymh.... you're absolutely right. I'd better win this race... I've only got less than 10lbs to go. These last ten pounds are crazy though.
So.... I couldn't figure out what was going on with my weight gain. Then, lo and behold, I started to get my period yesterday. That would explain the water weight!
This morning I am down to 149.5 lbs!!!
Crazy.
I just had my period two weeks ago.... it was short, not normal. Now I'm getting it again. The last two months have been crazy with my stress level and I think it's affecting my cycles. Or.... it's pre-menopause??? My doctor said that it doesn't seem likely based on my results. I don't know. I have to go for more testing.... we'll see when everything gets back.
raymh you will lose the weight now. I hope you are doing better today.
Shy16. You say the dr says your not pre menopausal? If not then maybe, it's your thyroid? I hope you continue to lose so you get the 10lbs off by your B-day.
I'm doing ok. ate a bit too much starch yesterday.. up a bit. I'm hoping to correct that . I'm at 175.2. I just have to watch how much pasta I eat. I also, ate later than usual and had a granola bar for desert. & ice cream ... to much sugar and carbs... Ok. that' noted... will work on it. It's not something I usually do. So, It's a little bit of an off day. Today is a new slat.
Thank you all for being so welcoming.
Hey Girls.... sorry... I've been AWOL lately.
Somethings came up last second and I was rushing out of town to get those things done and then rush back and pick up DD1 from high school! Then I have to figure out supper and I also had meet the teacher night.
It's been hectic -- to say the least.
Anyways, I have been weighing myself and just not even getting a minute to get on here and post.
I've been maintaining 149.0 lbs for the last few days. I think that's good considering that I'm not even around to make good food choices and we've been eating fast food for the last few days!
Still on TOM.... yeah, I know. Mine lasts for 7 days! But things are all over the place with that as well. I'm just making note of it all and monitoring it. I just hope that it's over tonight! Just recently it went on and on and on.
Sorry TMI....
@Raymh: How are you doing???? Where are you????
@Zecilkl: You're doing great and you have such a great outlook. I know I already told you that but I just wanted to say it again.
Don't beat up yourself for overeating something that caused you a slight gain or caused you to stay the same. Life is about enjoying the simple moments (like food) and not depriving ourselves of these indulgences. Everything in moderation. So you had a little too much starch one day.... so what... right??? I hope you enjoyed it, cause that's all that matters! Tomorrow is always another day and we can 'fix' things then.
The point is that you made note of it and now your subconscious is aware of it as well. Next time you might say no or you might just have a couple of spoonfuls to satisfy that desire!
Keep up the great work, ladies! WE'RE all going to get to our goals and lead a happy healthy life!
Thank you for joining our group, Zecilkl.
I m very happy zecilkil that u joined our grp and are posting regularly.
I dieted ladies but as i was not losing, i started refeeding to pep up metabolism, after 2 day of reffeding i m once again ready to go on diet.
I m 76.8 kg today
still 149.0 lbs!
I'll take it... especially since I'm not doing anything about it right now.
I think I'll start again soon but I can't seem to get my head around it.
I guess I just have to jump onto that wagon and not look back. I have to stop dreaming of the yummy food that I want to cook lately. Maybe I'll make it and resist the urge to overeat. Eat in moderation..... just like I was telling Zecilkl! lol
Easier said than done.
It is soooooooo cold around here. You wouldn't guess that spring started on Thursday. What a joke!!!
149.0 lbs
Boy..... these last 10 lbs are so hard. I remember how hard it was to lose this last year! It took so long....
I'm starting back on my plan today. Enough is enough. I can't wish these pounds away... I have to do something about them. lol
So.... here's to Day 1
I'm starting to sound like a broken record..... yup.... you guessed it! 149.0 lbs.
I did try yesterday. I was good. Good until supper, that is. lol
I can't complain. I had far too many starches. French fries, haka noodles as a late night snack. I didn't have enough fruit and absolutely NO veggies! Oh... and water... what's that????
I think if I can just have a couple of glasses of water, I will see a difference! I need to. I'm going to. Starting today. I KNOW I will see a difference.... I have before and I always wonder why I fall out of having it. Strange. And then I don't reach out and have some. Very strange.
Anyways.... baby steps. I've been out of it for two months now.... like I said before, there was too much stress in my life lately and I've let many things go.
Now I'm back and taking control of my life again....
So.... baby steps to get me back into losing again. But I'm seriously motivated.
My sil and family are coming up from the states for their spring break. I will see the family on April 12 but I will see sil the week after... just after my b-day. And i want to be at my goal weight by then. I may not make the goal but I want to be as close to it as possible. I just want her to be green with jealousy.... I know she will be.... whether she says something or not is yet to be seen. She may make a side comment or she may just actually give me a compliment. Who knows. I just know that she can't stand it that I've lost all this weight and have kept it off (for the most part) and I love to see her squirm!
Seriously, I know I'm evil but... you know how there is that one person in your life that makes a lot of things difficult? Well.... she's that. At least she used to be but, one cannot forget and forgive everything. She's better but she's still so self-centered and conceited.
Anyways... enough about her. I have approx four weeks to do this and i think I can. It's just that the last ten pounds are soooooooo hard to lose. If I can even lose 5 or 6 lbs, I'd be happy. Let's see!
THANKS, RAYMH!
You're doing great!!! Wow. You're going to be 140 lbs before you know it! AND probably before me! lol
Seriously, though.... I woke up and was 150.0 lbs. I don't know. I went up a pound. And I even drank water yesterday and got in all my fruit. i might have overdone it on the protein part (and maybe the starch) but I just can't get over this. Crazy.
149.0 or 149.5
I don't know.... my eyes were blurry this morning!
Either way, i lost something and am back at that dreaded number.
Man! I was 147.0 just a few weeks ago and, at one point, I even saw the scale at 146.0 when I weighed myself in the afternoon.
It's so strange. I need to break out of this 149.0 range.
Yay!!!!
I broke from the dreaded 149 range! I applied my knowledge and stuck to my plan as best as I could yesterday... and even consumed some water.... and the result speaks for itself!
This morning I weighed in at 148.0 lbs!
My plan works and I know it does. I'm just so lazy to implement what is a good and proven thing for me.
Let's hope I maintain on this path and lose so that I may be near my goal - if not at my goal - by mid-April!
How are you doing today Raymh??
@Zecilkl: Where are you??
@Simba: Where are you?? I miss you! Just come back and say 'hi'. Let us know that everything is okay with you.
@shy- oye, check urself, u r going too high, go for 500 cal a day only for next 2 days
And yes shy, if u r not careful and go escalating then and i keep shedding then surely i will come nearer to u.
B careful and shed. :)
