HEY! Where is everyone? Hope you all have good reports!!
810 cals for me today and another 450cals of exorcise. Sooo, I anticipate a gain tomorrow. That's just the way it goes.
I think I'm sick of fruit. Shhhh....don't tell the vegetables....I'm too tired to chase after them!
Oh! Candid, we crossed paths there! Wow! 50lb already this year! I'm truly impressed! I had to put my foot down with DH about buying crap food when we first got married, because I, too, would nibble if it was in the house. But that problem has gotten better for me--I even lost my sweet tooth! So there's hope. For me, I just cannot eat many calories. If I go above 1200, I don't lose. Anything. Above 1400 and I gain like crazy.
Hope your evening goes better. I'm having my "glass of vodka" as DH likes to call it--actually a tall glass of ice water after my run.
Hi Everyone. I have kept going back and forth so much between counting calories and intuitive eating. I'm finding that with IE, I'm not able to lose any weight at all. So, instead of giving myself lenient days with IE, I've decided to stick to staying within my calorie boundaries every day, through thick and thin. No more kittyfooting around with my weight loss. I'm ready to get serious about it and that means today and every day I will stay within my boundaries.
Yesterday: 1384
Today: 1867
Edited to say: I had to LOL about "kittyfooting" coming up in place of a perfectly clean word that I had posted. I'm just going to leave "kittyfooting" there. Too funny!
After all my big talk yesterday about sticking to my calorie boundaries through thick and thin, I should have accounted for "sick days", which I almost never have. Yesterday was an exception and I was nauseous for the first half of the day, so all I could eat were crackers and dry cookies. I didn't bother counting at all yesterday, but figure I probably was well over on calories for the day.
Feeling much better today and back on track!
Wishing all of us a day of staying within our boundaries!
Make that nauseated, SeeMyFeet. I need to choose my words more wisely I suppose. I found the culprit for the nausea, though. I took a multivitamin without food. I should have read the directions.
I ended up with 1925 cals for the day. Not good! Feeling much stronger today, though.
08/22/14 I ended on the high end again today with 1818 calories.
Hey everyone, I've had my off and on days, and somehow still lost a little bit of weight. So far today I've had some Amy's Cheese Pizza Bites (5) + a organic peach & organic banana. I am planning on going out to dinner w/my mom for her b-day and not sure what I am having, but I will definitely update later. So far I am down to 263.6 I am trying to make it to 261.6 by Labor Day for a perfect 40 lbs. loss since I began my weight loss journey in February.
What're you people having these days? I am just seeking many fresh concepts. We all manufactured a pretty great African-style stew last night using chicken thighs, chickpeas, tomato plants, nice oranges, as well as peanut butter. The item sampled a lot better than When i seemed to be expecting achievable compound blend.
Hello! I have been MIA off the site for a couple weeks. I tore my hamstring and I was not able to do an working out for two weeks and now I am able to swim, but I just don't feel like I am really "working out" I need that sweat factor. I have lost five more pounds over the last three weeks so I was five pounds from my goal of 180. I have now changed my goal to 160. 180 still considered me as overweight by my BMI and I feel like a have a lot of weight still to loose. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and meets all their calorie goals!!
Hi, everyone! It's been...probably more than a month since I've posted. Our 1,200 mile move went pretty well. Kids are getting settled. I haven't been calorie counting or working out but with all the craziness I've managed to make my goal weight, anyway. I haven't worked out in more than 3 weeks and I can tell I'm slimmer, but I'm flabbier. I went to an awesome group fitness training where I used to live and I thought I would take a week off for the move and then work out at home, but working out at home is incredibly boring and I only managed it once. I'm trying something new tonight, but I don't think it's something I'll continue because I really like the group training model and this place (TRX workouts) really encourages 1-1 or 2-1 personal training rather than group training. They only offer group training 4 times a week at the most inconvenient time of the day for me. I'm only going because they have an 8 class introductory rate of $50. After these 8 classes I will figure something else out.
1bighog - Welcome back and wowzers. That's quite the move. Glad everything went well though. Best of luck with the classes!
Trader Joe's wine kinda did me in last night. Calories I really didn't need! Ended up clocking in at 1,968, but still had a deficit (burned 631 cals at the gym). But man was the wine worth it. So. Delicious. Got a German Rhine wine...OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Nothing wrong with a little wine, Lildazed! WTG on working off some calories so you could enjoy it!
I've woken up every day lately with resolve, but have ruined each day with emotional eating.
I usually weigh in on the first of each month, but considered skipping my Sept. 1st weigh in. I feel sure I've gained weight because of the way I've been eating and by the way my clothes are feeling, too. Never-the-less, I plan to do my weigh in on the first. I'll take what I get!
Recently I've had the mindset when I mess up that Oh well! I messed up, so I'll just eat what I want the rest of the day and start over again tomorrow. I'm sure most of you can relate. I've made my mind up this morning that it doesn't matter if I slip up here and there, it's no excuse for blowing the whole day. It's a new day, new attitude!
Welcome back to all of you who have been away! We can do this! Let's just do it!
Hi everyone, today I weighed in at 261.6 which now puts me at 40 lbs. loss (from February 13, 2014 the day I began my current journey) and while I am happy about it, I am going through health issues (severe tooth infection, I am on antibiotics and will need a root canal treatment). I am not getting hunger pangs at all since I've been going through this, so I eat out of necessity and not based on actual hunger. I hope my appetite comes back when I am done w/my antibiotics. Also MFP lowered my calories to 1630 in order to meet my 1 1/2 lb. goal per week *grrrr*, I was at 1720 before , ah well.
I'm now 4.6 lbs. away from my birthday goal of 257 lbs. but a lot can happen between now and October so I won't get my hopes up too high lol. Anyhow thank you for reading everyone, my calories will probably be between 1400-1500 today.
Let's make that 1580, lol I am eating breadsticks instead of crackers w/my chili.
