Coffe3 I'm sure you will get into the 110's way before the month is over. Keep it up! I've been stuck in the 120's for a little while now. I keep losing, regaining, and losing the same weight over and over again. Hopefully I can be way out of the 120's by the end of the month as well. Let's fight together.
Ryler Nice to hear from you! I've finally gotten rid the lbs that brought me up to 129! Took me a while though... I hope it's the last time I bump up and down and all around! Going to stay in and eat home cooked meals on Sunday - hopefully that'll help me on my way down. The past two weeks have been pretty good - I was a bit disappointed in myself for snacking on about 400 calories of cashews the yesterday though (but managed to stay under weight loss calories). They are so sneaky!

I tend to overdo it on nuts and seeds as well. I find that it's easier to measure/weigh one serving and then put the bag away.
can't say that i'm a nuts nut. Too many calories for not enough volume if you ask me!!!
You're almost there. Just keep pushing. I've been in the 120s for over a month now and it sucks but only I can change that.
I totally agree on the calories for nuts. It feels like I'm eating 10 pieces for 120 calories. I could be eating a skinny cow ice cream sandwich for 140 calories.
There are no more cashews in the house, so I breathe a sigh of relief. TBH I don't think they are worth the calories either, but once I eat one it's addictive - I find there's something about the texture that keeps me munching on them and reaching for more.
Today was good - no desire to snack at all. My mother baked a cake (green tea chiffon) but I really don't feel like eating it because I feel my weight loss is more important than a slice of cake. Going to try and be as good as possible so I can see some sort of loss at the end of the week.
ange82 - you're so close! Just a little bit more and you're good to go!
I went out to eat with my brothers and sister yesterday. I tried to stay within my calorie count but then they ordered buttered croissant and onion rings. I have to say that I did try to resist the onion rings because I haven't had fried food since April of this year but it kept calling my name. LOL. I ended up eating four and was only able to finsih 25% of my meal.
My weight loss has slowed down or I may be stuck at a plateau. I hate seeing 125.8 or 126 on the scale. Been stuck here for almost 3 weeks. Hopefully I can see some kind of results since I started p90x again.
So i am at 123, yes a pound up. I have still been in a slump but today started good. i have had a bowl of cereal so far and almost ate a cupcake but put it down and now i am going to go for a run.
Ryler and Coffe, thanks for the support. It's worked!! hurray!! i'm with you 120's gang again today and sneaked in at 128.6 this morning! Must have been something to do with that curry and spinach combination last night!!.......
Right, hopefully i can stay here now and stop wandering off back to that 130's thread!!
off out for a bike ride now to make some inroads on todays calorie deficit!
Ryler - one lot of fried food since April is good going, so don't beat yourself up about it.
Ange way to go on your loss. It's an awesome feeling when you're no longer in a certain category (e.g. 130's or 140's).
I keep telling myself that a little bit of fried foods wasn't going to hurt or damage anything but the other side of me keeps saying "don't you dare touch that". LOL I need my mind and my body to be in sync.
I usually allow myself to eat any type of food guilt-free, as long as it is for the right reasons! Like last night I was studying for a test and my mind kept wandering to the pantry and that voice just kept saying 'a little bit won't hurt'. The good thing is that I was able to stop myself because I know I eat to procrastinate especially when stressed. By thinking how good I would feel the next day if I was able to say no to the cake. A little personal victory and feeling great today!
I always stare down the cakes in the bakery section when I go grocery shopping. I'm glad that I am not willing to spend $3.50 for a single serving of cake.
