I'm re-losing that quick 5 lb gain--I'm down to 215 this morning (213.8 was as low as I was before I went back to 219 so quickly).
I think I'm going to shop for jeans this weekend. I'll just buy 2 pairs if I can find some, but I need to have just a couple of pairs that fit properly. I have dressier pants that fit and all the tops,jackets, and sweaters still work. I don't want to buy too much, but I know I'll feel better in proper fitting jeans. (And I wear jeans to work most days--I guess I could switch back to dress pants--but don't wanna!)
I'm having toe surgery in a few weeks--I'm worried about continuing weight loss with almost no movement--I'll be off my feet as much as possible for 6-8 weeks. I don't even know how soon I'll be allowed to do upper body exercise (or when I'll be up to it).
I'll be doing more cooking this weekend--but for us. I'd like to have some frozen meals in the freezer to make things easier for DH when I'm not able to be on my feet and cook.
Greek yogurt mixed with Jason's chocolate almond butter. Oh...my...goodness. I have been in heaven for the last couple of days. I had no idea that eating healthy could be so indulgent.
And the ingredients? Dry Roasted Almonds, Organic Evaporated Cane Sugar, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Natural Vanilla, Sea Salt.
I'm in heeeaaavveeeennnnnn.
Official WI today! I'm hoping to officially be here now. Up until now I have obviously been a figment of your imagination.
Just an update I guess. Still bloated 3-4lbs. I don't know how to get it off. Went to the doctor and I have a list of health problems. I need to get down to 125-135lbs to solve a lot of them. Also have a rib cartillage condition which means I cant lift or exercise much, probably forever. So fun times. I really hope this bloat breaks I need to lose at least 10lbs before my surgery, well I suppose I don't have to, but the doctor said even a small bit like 10lbs would be better than the weight I am now.
Lunar - girl, you HAVE to try raw cacao powder and raw almond butter mixed together if you like the chocolate nut butters. Seriously, it gives me like a food induced orgasm and has no added sugar!
I'm gonna join you girls I started end of jan at 209 I'm currently 203.6 after a small set back of 2 weeks. Back in the grind and hope to be out of the 200s on just a week or two. Keeping my fingers crossed.. Legs moving... And mouth closed! Jk bout the mouth part but I've come back to keeping my food diary it helps me stay accountable, good luck everyone keep up the hard work!
I gained half a pound for the week . . . two teeny gains in a row but I'm still well under 220, whew! I'm so hoping the scale will go the right direction next Wednesday.
Ella I hear ya on the small gains. I had a pound and a half gain since around valentines day. So here is to both of us leaping forward towards our goal!
I know some of you (thnknthin1, mozzy) are chomping at the bit to get out of the 20x decade. I, on the other hand, want to get to the 20x decade!
It took me a week to recover from two Chinese meals out--and I was down to 213.0 this morning. That's 17 lbs, although I can't really count 213 until I hit 212.8--at least, that's my theory.
I have my meals planned out for next week, the grocery list updated for tomorrow's shopping trip after work, and I'm ready to have a great OP week!
Heck yeah I'm chomping at the bit! Weighed in at 201.2 this morning, getting closer
This has been a long time coming....started this journey a year ago. Can't wait to see that 1 on the scale, getting very excited and nervous all at the same time. I stalled out at 204-206 all of February and I think the scale is finally budging once again. February was definitely a testament to my dedication to stick with this.
I will definitely be doing the happy dance when I get to 199, it's all downhill from there
