Anagram- This week will be different! Keep watching it! A million things can be "1.4lbs"

natamars · 11-06-2009, 08:06 AM

10/7: 154
10/9: 153
10/16: 151.5
10/23:150.5
10/30: 151.5
11/6: 147.2(yay!)

The low-carb is really doing it - I started on Sunday. It's weird - I actually have to really try to get my calories in, because all the foods I love and crave have carbs. Thinking about trying this through the end of November or so to see what happens(although I have to make an exception for T'giving, because that is the one day a year I eat stuffing and mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole. Will have to watch my portions or get incredibly ill).

Anagram - this week WILL be better for you! I totally understand the up and down thing and the frustration.

I am such a geek. I was getting so impatient with the board this morning because I couldn't wait to update my numbers! Only .8 lbs. from my 10-lb reward, which I have decided will be a massage.

The low-carb is getting tougher, and Thanksgiving will be a challenge. I am giving myself permission to taste everything, because this is stuff I only eat once a year. But I have some time off from work, so I'll get in some extra workouts.

Huh. I did come in and post on Friday but where did my post go? I was complaining about only having lost 3 pounds -- and those ones were relost, to boot -- while I was walking for hours and hours every day and watching what I ate. K, here goes again.

October 3th: 221 (Bump UP from yesterday, thinking carbs and salt) Looking to be down at least 3 pounds next week.
October 9th: 217 -- -4
October 16th: 222 -- Back to the start, plus 1 for good measure.
October 23rd: 221 -- Okay. Time to LOSE -- this is getting ridiculous.
November 13th: 218

HUZZAH!

Anagram, hang in there! That's a big milestone so it's no wonder we often have to play around in that vicinity for a while. Just keep on weighing in and posting and you'll get well below.

CardboardCutoutCat,

Natamars, I don't blame you for being anxious to update -- NICE NUMBERS!!!

Air81 - holy smokes! What are you doing? Those look like "Biggest Loser" weigh-ins.

Arabella - a 3 lb loss after such a wonderful vacation is great. I know you exercises a lot but you must have been terrifically vigilant.

Great number - Natamars. I agree on you T'giving strategy but then I'm a terrible adviser on diet.

Always welcome, CardboardCutoutCat. Gorgeous photo!!!

Air81 · 11-18-2009, 07:58 PM

I am taking Releana yes, but you can see the weightloss is slowing down alot. I am actually stopping the medicine for Christmas and will just workout and count calories. Counting calories, I am naturally a good eater, didn't work before because I naturaly don't eat enough, but alas I will try try again. I've been starving this week and its TOM but am anxious to see what I lose for my Sunday weigh in (Friday is my birthday so I'm having sushi which is cheating and hummus/pita chips and choc stra. friday).

October 11- 238.8
October 18- 228.6
October 25- 223.4
November 1- 219.4 My mini goal is 199 by Dec 31st.
November 8- 217.6
November 15-215.0

I'm so p*ssed! I was so good this week too, better than most! I'm hoping that the reason there is no change is because of the cold that I'm currently smothered with. My head is so full of snot right now, maybe that counts for a couple of pounds, lol (if I don't laugh I'll cry!)

Arabella · 11-20-2009, 09:39 AM

So. Up a pound this week. I'm going to have to do something to shake things up. I've been behaving pretty well.

Hang in there, Anagram! Just continuing to weigh in every week helps, I firmly believe. My weight gain could become astronomical in no time if I was not, somewhere, somehow, held accountable. Too easy to stop weighing in, for one thing. And I sure know where that gets me.

Air81, wish I had the problem of not naturally eating enough.

CCC, congrats on the maintain. Yeah, I sometimes think we retain fluid when we have a cold. Will see when I get rid of this blasted one...

Had a cold this week and got some extra rest and ate too many carbs. The good news is that I have time off next week and my gym is open, even on Thanksgiving - time to push harder there.

Depressing changing my stats to move my weight UP - oh, well.

Air81 - nice losses!

Arabella, great attitude, and so true. I always gain when I avoid the scale.

Anagram, I have a feeling you will be back in onederland for good very soon - think you are due for a whoosh!

CarboardCutoutCat, hope you are feeling better. A cold can mess with your fluids - keep drinking water and hope you're feeling better!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I know I will be thinking about getting on that scale the morning after - hopefully the image will keep me from stuffing my face.

Josiegrl · 11-20-2009, 09:59 AM

Would love to start weighing in with you ladies. I just started this week. I weighed myself Tuesday and it was 222 and this morning I weighed in at 219 (YEA!). I am low carbing it and watching my calories and working out when my kids let me, lol.

Air81 · 11-22-2009, 04:42 PM

November 1- 219.4 My mini goal is 199 by Dec 31st.
November 8- 217.6
November 15-215.0
November 22- 214.6 (Weighed on Friday my bday and i was 212, but ate 'off diet' for two days...and TOM so hoping it will correct itself)

So great to hear from all of you!
Arabella~ Problem is I think that is why I haven't loss (or gained) weight in 10years!!!! I don't eat enough calories for my weight. I gained all my weight before I turned 18 and NONE since (I'm 28 as of friday). In Feb, when I start P90x I will try the 'counting calories' philosophy but this time eat the right amount for my weight. I tried this back in Jan-April but I ate 1200-1400 a day and I weighed 250 (1800cal min) I was working out 6days/circuit training and only losing 1lb a week! There's a little about me!
