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.
Sorry Ladies. I forgot to check in. IF someone could send me a message if I'm Missing in action for a couple of days please. I've been very absent minded ... just thinking about exercising and keep track of my food. LOL
I'm doing good. with that for not Always afraid I'll do something and gain weight back. I'm on a slippery slop. I was afraid to post I 've lost some weight.
As of today I'm 172.8 lbs. Yesterday 173.2 lb. I am so happy. I've been exercising daily. Which makes me very tired, still.
Thank you ladies for missing me.
Shy16 WOW 1 lb in 1 day that's great I'm happy if at the end of a month I lose that. Congrats. You finally got off your plateau.
rayhm great job at 167 lbs. Do you have more to lose?
Thank you for including me into your group. It's helped me get more focused.. Sorry it was so much that i've missed checking in.
Hey Zecilkl!!!! Glad you're back!!!
You're doing great. I wish i had your focus. I just can't seem to get much focus these days... I know if I do focus, I will lose the weight.
You know, it's not uncommon for me to lose 1 lb overnight or even 0.5 lb overnight. IF, and only IF, I stay focused!
So... that being said, I was doing extremely well yesterday and might have had a loss to report this morning but, unfortunately, DH and myself were watching a movie late last night and he brought out some yummy munchies. How could I refuse??? I wish I did but.... I was good. I didn't overdo it.
This morning I weighed in at 148.0 lbs.... the same. I'll take it!
Tonight I'm going to a party where there will be fancy finger foods being served! I can't wait. So I'm going to indulge. I don't go out often to events like this and I plan to partake in the festivities. Let's hope that I don't do too much damage.
lol
I hope you guys have a nice relaxing and fun weekend!
okay.... i'm in shock. Seriously.... i don't know who, what, where, when, how or why but........
I dropped one pound overnight!
Yay!!!!
Today I'm 147.0 lbs. This is where I was before all this stress started hitting me! Wow. I can't believe it.
AND.. I ate so much fried and fatty finger foods yesterday. Go figure.
Maybe my body decided that it doesn't need that extra weight it's holding on to.
lol
Mind you, I might have already messed things up today. I'm going to have to readjust what I eat for dinner.
Wow Raymh.... you're doing fantastic!
I was telling DH about you and how you are losing all this weight since January of this year. He seems very impressed and asked me to look into the 5:2 plan that you are doing.
I've checked the internet but was wondering if you could give me some insight on what your typical week would be like? What kinds of food that you eat etc. It would be very helpful to have a first hand account of things.
Thanks in advance.... it would be much appreciated!
I went up slightly due to bad choices but I am back to 147.0 lbs this morning. Let's hope that I can continue to lose. I've got until the middle of this month and I would like to lose some more weight by my b-day! I don't have to be at my goal weight... just close to it.
Let's hope that I can shed some of this weight.
Hello buddies, today is a big day for me, i m 74.6 kg that means 164.5 pounds, today i hv reached bmi 29.9 and i m officially out of obese category. Yippee
I do cm in to overweight category now, but i intend to break 25 bmi barrier too and come in to normal category. By the way i hv dropped 2 sizes, from xxl to xl and now i can wear l size clothes and i m fit in to size 34 stretchable jeans.
@ shy, so nice of u to tell abt me to ur hubby, i m not following 5:2 diet d way it is told in to the book-- the fast diet, i try to b under 800 calories 2 consecutive days and then for rest of d week , i try to be under 1400 cal, oneday in week i eat 2000 calories.
I eat indian food so it is useless to tell u abt my food, u will get better option in d book itself.
One thing which has benefitted me immensely is Green tea, i drink lots of green tea of different flavours of ORGANIC INDIA brand, it is simply excellent, fantabulous, comes in many flavours
Wow, Raymh..... that's fantastic!!!!
I'm soooooo proud of you! Congratulations in reaching a major milestone. I'm glad you're out of the 'danger' zone of being obese. That's what's important. The weight is just flying off of you and you'll be out of the overweight zone before you know it! Although, I think that the overweight category is a little off. I wouldn't have considered myself overweight ten pounds ago... looking at my body... but the chart said otherwise!
Crazy.
Thanks for the info on the 5:2 diet and on how you follow it. Also, we do tend to drink green tea around here. We just love it.... and actually brought some back with us from a trip to China. You can't go wrong with green tea.
lol, Raymh..... I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment! In all our exchanges over the past year I guess it never came out that I am also Indian. Seriously.... I've never been to India/Pakistan but my food, fancy clothes, culture etc is very much Indian/Pakistani.
I just can't believe that it never came out in conversation.
So, keeping that in mind, could you be more specific about what you do eat on a typical 'diet' day and a regular day? It would really help with getting my hubby into shape!
I understand that there are many regional cuisines in India and the food varies from place to place but, there are similarities.
@shy-- it seems to me that u r from NRI Indian Muslim family, if this is so then you may find d info given by me useful.
I eat very small chapatis on day i diet, infact i daily hv small chapatis, each made with 15 gm kneaded flour, it has 40 cal each, i do not hv breakfast that day, i tk indian tea (eith milk ginger etc and sugar free) that is 40 cal,then in lunch i hv 6 small chapatis with boiled egg and date and onion
Then in evening i hv plenty of green tea, for dinner i hv one smallest 5 rs maghi packet with 200 ml amul chhachh and thats it.
That's pretty good insight, Raymh! How did you get to that conclusion??
Thanks for the information. I didn't realize that 15g of kneaded flour has 40 cal in it...good to know. Thanks!!!
Your diet certainly sounds interesting! Are you getting bored of eating this way? Do you eat this every diet day or do you change it up a bit? What about veggies? You don't eat them as much... or do you eat them on your 'other' days?
I'm not sure what amul chhachh is....
You're doing fantastic... keep it up. You're going to be where I'm at in no time.
Today I seemed to have dropped one pound! Yay. I was at 147.5lbs yesterday (I forgot to post) and today I'm at 146.5 lbs. I haven't seen this number in a while and it certainly is a motivator to keep going.
I guess yesterday I actually tried to watch what I was eating and it payed off. I knew it would but I just can't seem to be super motivated right now :(
@Zecilkl; You had mentioned that someone should contact you and remind you to post here. I tried.... I cannot seem to send you a hug and remind you. I have, however, sent you a friend request and I have not heard anything back about that.... and that was days ago!
Anywho... just drop by and let us know how you're doing.
@shy16-- no i eat this diet only on 1 or 2 days in a week, that is my fasting diet. Other days i eat normally with in limit and one day in a week is a feast day.
I'm doing good. with that for not Always afraid I'll do something and gain weight back. I'm on a slippery slop. I was afraid to post I 've lost some weight.
