It's time again for the official 3FC weigh in thread. Everyone is welcome to join, just jump in whenever your official weigh in day rolls around. Good luck, everyone!
Me: 175, down 2.5 pounds from last week. This is an artificially low weight, since I didn't work today and slept in much later than usual. But even without that, I was down about a pound yesterday, so I believe I've had some real loss. But I'm on a 4 day mini vacation now. Let's see how good I do next week.
If you look at my goal below, you can see I'm totally off program, and of course I am not pleased with myself. I could make a bunch of excuses about end of the year (teaching) stress, lack of time to exercise, and mega parties and food, but why bother?
The facts are simple. I have been so off track, despite my 'getting back on track' goal. I have been eating too much and exercising too little. I have been eating the wrong kinds of food, I have not been logging into fitday except 2-3 days a week... and yes, sometimes in pretty large quantities. I'm not going to beat myself up over it, but I know I don't feel well when I don't take care of my body. And I know all of my shorts are currently too tight. I also know how to eat healthy, count calories on fitday, and increase exercise.
So... that is what I'm going to do. I need to make a new goal and show a little gumption and stick to it.
- Drink more water
-1200-1400 calories of healthy clean food (that's what I lose on)
- daily entries in fitday
- DAILY exercise, even if it's a BTN day ('better than nothing') I will do something
-lots of fiber
There. For some reason, I've been making it seem so hard, but it's really NOT.
Thanks for listening and anyone who wants to hold me accountable and check my progress, feel free to get on me. Thanks and TGIF!!!
Yay for the loses listed above. Me...same as last week. But i expected that. I started excersizing this week and my muscles are still sore, which means i'm retaining fluids in my legs. So, i was just happy to see 158 today!! Maybe by monday morning when my muscles have had time to heal, maybe i'll see a lose. I'll report back on Monday!!
After months of staying around 145, I am finally at goal. This morning my scale was at 139.2. I did not weigh last week because of TOM. So that is a lose of 4 lbs for the last 2 weeks.
I am down 3 pounds, so back to 166. I seem to get large weight fluctuations sometimes 5 pounds. So I am being very strict with myself. I feel awful when I gain the 5 pounds right back.
This week I did no exercise for a few days, but I did walk the mall one day and got some exercise at work and around the house, surprisingly that seemed more effective than killing myself working out, and eating too much. I also now am getting some exercise in a small garden I have. Its surprising how that can keep you moving a good half hour a day,and its more fun than the gym.
I am having some arthritis type symptoms so the hard exercise gets me very sore.
You know, I kind of want to change my "official weigh in" day to Friday because I always seem to drop overnight from Thursday to Friday
But alas, that is not my official weigh in day. Yesterday I was 177, down 2.5 lbs from last week!
My goal is 175 by July 4th, but I am hoping to hit it this week! The past two weeks I have consistently lost 2.5 lbs, so maybe I'll even be below it?! We shall see!
Gettingsmaller....that is awesome!! Congrats on reaching goal!!!! You go girl!!!
Cagesorwings...I know what you mean. I should change my "official" weigh in day to monday because after working out monday/wednesday, i always seem to be about the same on friday because of sore muscles. But by monday morning, the soreness is gone and so is the extra fluid...and hopefully the extra pound i want to lose!!
Lumifan4ever thanks. I fell like it is to good to be true. I will probably weigh everyday just to make sure it is not a dream. Now the hard part, maintaining.

174.8, finally! I was starting to worry that my body would just never budge, and I'd have to start getting drastic if I ever wanted to see the better side of 175, even with the new treadmill. And I've logged eight miles of treadmill time...not much, but this week I shouldn't have to take three days off to let a blister heal. (Confidentially, I hate my feet. Hate hate hate them. I know they'll never be pretty, and I've accepted that, all I ask is that they be there for me when I need to move. So they pay me back with giant sore blisters.)
Congrats on goal, Gettingsmaller, how does it feel?
I'm down 3 pounds since a couple of days ago - and I am SO glad. Relieved, really. The first time the scale read 158 pounds, I was soo excited. The second time, I was okay with it. The third time, I was beginning to worry. I never knew until a couple days ago that our apartment complex's (horrible excuse for a) fitness center has a doctor's scale in it. So, now I'll probably be going there on a daily basis. :P
I'm finally the weight that I've been telling everyone I am for years, lol. 155 pounds looks so good balancing out perfectly on that scale. Now, the real gratification will be weighing even less than that.
Everyone weigh in 06/15/07
