Get me out of the 190s!! Who else???

Mikayla · 12-08-2009, 04:21 PM

Wow angee go you! I just recently was able to fit into a Victoria's Secret bra myself. I started off as a very tight 42DDD and now I'm 38DD. It was such a great feeling!

I weighed 192 today. I'm uping my workouts this week in hopes of seeing 189 by next week, but we'll see how it goes. :-)

hey everyone, joining the thread-- been bouncing around from 197-202 for a while now, finally got myself under that range. this morning i weighed in at 194.6, so i'm more than halfway through the 190s! now i'm just excited to try to get out of them before i leave for florida on the 21st. i still won't be comfortable in a bathing suit in the high 180s at my height, but i'll feel a little better knowing i made a short term goal and it's not as bad as it could be. how is everyone doing?

Guys I'll be here pretty soon...I finally got myself back on track and have been counting my points and keeping up with my food journal and really putting effort into it again...and it paid off because this morning I was 199.5...I'm not making anything official till sunday after I weigh in for the 20 something BL Challenge...but it feels so good to be under 200...and I already can't wait to say goodbye to the 190s....

=D

can't wait to be out of the 190s.

Yay, divine!! I was so excited to see your ticker at 201 the other day...and I bet it was pretty awesome to see that 1 on the scale. I'm sure we'll see you in here soon.

DivineFidelity · 12-13-2009, 12:02 PM

Okay ladies it's definitely official now. After some gain and loss...I'm 199.5 and it's my weigh day so it counts!

I'm definitely joining this thread.

Angee...it's gonna be like...a day, and you'll be off to the 180s thread. I'm kind of sad that I haven't been able to catch up with you...I got off track and you kept going and now you're doing so amazing! Definitely makes me think twice about getting off track...lol

I'm doing a lot of challenges right now...the 20 something BL challenge, the Valentines Day challenge...I think technically I'm doing the new years challenge, even though I haven't been paying much attention to it...lol

I just want to be out of the 190s like...right now...so I'd better get crackin! =D

angee phalangee · 12-13-2009, 10:36 PM

Divine, first - big congrats!! Secondly, I wouldn't be so sure about my being in the 180s anytime soon. I've stalled, and I'm about to chunk the scale out the window. I started weighing almost every day because I got obsessed (bad move), and it was like 191, 194, 192, 191, 190, 191, 190, 191, 190....there's a scale that's about to die.

But...I've put the scale in time-out to think about what it's done (i.e., the linen closet), and I refuse to let it out until my next weigh-in day (Saturday). We'll see.

But, assuming I do hit the 180s soon, you just have to hurry up and join me! lol...I got used to being in the same thread with you.

LOL

Next time my scale isn't doing what I want, I'm DEFINITELY going to put it in time out...haha.

I'm trying to stay on track. Today was definitely an off day, but I had a really junky work schedule and didn't have time to go to the grocery store so I ended up eating fast food...

Oh well, as of tomorrow I'm getting a 7 day trial pass for the 24 hour fitness near my house and I have the next 3 days off so I want to spend a good chunk of that time at the gym. I'm definitely excited for it =D

Mikayla · 12-14-2009, 04:29 PM

Yay! Congrats DIvine!

I however am a little sad. I went to a Christmas party this past weekend and really went overboard with food, so I don't expect to lose any weight this week(WI is Tuesday) So here I will be posting for at least another week....

DivineFidelity · 12-14-2009, 04:56 PM

I got the 7 day trial pass thing for 20 hour fitness today. I feel very accomplished....

I only made it 10 minutes on the elliptical, it was hurting my knees...but I went for an hour on the treadmill at a 0% incline and between 3.0 and 3.3 speed...which probably isn't that great but considering it's the first time I've even been on a treadmill, I think I did alright...lol....and then of course I got on a bike for 30 minutes...and then we had to go because I had other things I had to do...but I definitely enjoyed it. Next time I might try running a little bit on the treadmill and see how it goes. =D

angee phalangee · 12-14-2009, 10:54 PM

Mikayla - don't worry - Christmas parties are diet busters, but it probably didn't affect your weight as much as you're fearing. My work Christmas party is tomorrow, and I'm concerned, too...but I'll bounce back as I'm sure you will, too.

Divine - congrats on the gym! An hour on the treadmill in any capacity is good. If you want to try jogging next time, you should check out couch-to-5k. My friend is doing it, and it seems to start you out pretty easy. The first week is jogging slowly for 60 seconds and walking for 90 seconds...for about 30 minutes. It seems like a good plan.

DivineFidelity · 12-15-2009, 03:26 AM

SO...I had 4 slices of pizza hut cheese pizza....and then felt horribly guilty so I went BACK to the gym...did the elliptical for about 15 minutes, the treadmill for about 25, the exercise bike for about 10...and then I went and swam laps for a while, relaxed in the spa, and did a little bit of weight training...mostly focusing on my arms and legs...I still feel guilty about the pizza, but I DEFINITELY feel less bloated...

angee, I've already looked into the c25k...and I'm not sure if I could manage it yet. Running on the treadmill isn't difficult for me because of the stress on my body...it's difficult because I've got stress induced asthma, and I haven't filled a prescription for my daily inhaler in like...2 years. I just can't afford it right now. Right now I just want to focus on cardio, and I figure anything is better then nothing.

Mikayla, angee is right. It really probably won't be that bad. I've had terrible days before, and weighed in the next morning and lost weight. Even if you did gain a little, you'll be back on track in no time.

going2Bhealthy · 12-15-2009, 07:06 AM

I just weighed in at 199 this morning and like everyone else, I want out already, so I'm jumping in here as you chicks seem to be doing really well and hopefully it will rub off on me

paradoxx · 12-15-2009, 02:11 PM

Hello again everyone! I hope all my lovely chickies are doing great! Law school finals completely consumed my life for a bit. Diet and exercise didn't even enter my mind. Thankfully, I didn't gain a bunch during my time of trials. Yesterday, I go back on the wagon and once again started counting my WW points and exercising. I feel much better today and I am glad to be back.

angee phalangee · 12-15-2009, 08:44 PM

So, shoot me. I just got finished eating handfulls and handfulls of cheezits after having 2 servings of pasta...and I wasn't even hungry. Stress eating. I had a big fight with my husband and I went straight to the kitchen.

I hate when I do this

I always feel so guilty afterward and my stomach hurts, but during my little bingefest, I let myself off the hook and say that I just do what I have to do to cope.

What I've never talked about on these forums before is that I have a lot of trouble at home, and I'm planning to file for divorce right after the holidays. It kills me, and therefore, has been making my stress eating happen much more often. I feel like a mess
