Hello folks! I confess, I'm up 1.5 lbs this week from 4th of July weekend eating off plan.... And I also confess I'm not updating my sig/ticker with that gain! I don't feel too terrible about it, could be worse. I'll just have to work on it for next week
Gratz to everyone who is doing well!!! And for those of us who seem to be struggling a bit....we can do it! Re-committing to being excited about this challenge.. We've got this!
I have to say I for one am still frustrated - 2 weeks of committed exercise and up 2 again this morning. OH MAN. I admit I was not like 100% eating on plan but it wasn't THAT bad. I know it's not fat, just frustrating not being able to get the scale to move... I understand it now.
Jollygreen, I've been there. The last two weeks have been frustrating as I haven't lost weight but today I had a WOOSH -- so I pray yours is coming too!
I had a whoosh THANK GOD! I was starting to get frustrated because the last two weeks have seen no loss *despite* be being 100% on plan. I'm totally happy. I actually weighed in at 254.8 but I'm rounding up because I'm weird like that and I like even numbers LOL Looks like I'll meet my Labor Day goal, thank God. Hang in there ladies who are struggling, stay on plan, your whoosh is comin!
Went Kayaking for the first time yesterday. It was a blast! But boy do I hurt today lol!!!! I am at 267.8 but that is probably due to water retention from beating my muscles to death yeaterday! Only a pound down but, considering I will take it!
I'm in! This is precisely what I came here looking for.
I began my weight loss journey over a year ago and have shed nearly 50 full pounds. But I've been lazy these past few months and haven't lost a single pound, at least not long term. So I start again today! All I have to do to reach my goal is lose slightly more than a pound every 7 days from now until September 2nd.
SW: 135.8
GW: 120
5/28: 135.8
6/3: 135.4
6/4: 134.8
7/16 : 131.4
I have a major "mini goal" of reaching 12X by my birthday which is in the beginning of August. I'm 2 pounds away but I'm afraid I'll gain a few back so I'm trying to be careful. So close! I haven't been this close to seeing 129 on a scale since I was 19!
I went off plan completely and, as expected, my weight jumped up by 3.5 pounds. I need to remember that there are consequences for out of control eating.
I am used to sabotaging myself so this isn't a surprise. I need to find new ways to stay out of the kitchen. On the good side, I have increased my base running mileage to 3 miles. I kept up with the daily exercise, despite overeating.
This week, I want to stick to my meal plan and continue exercising, despite the heat. I'm feeling optimistic about my chances and will keep logging into 3FC for support.
I'm having trouble caring too. I get lost and don't know how I end up eating what I'm eating. I am striving to get into a routine I feel comfortable and sustainable in.
Not doing great right now either. I've been sitting on my butt all week nursing my knee. It feels a lot better but still gonna take it easy to let it heal more and whatnot.
Starting a new workout regimen since I cannot do Insanity anymore. Mon/Wed/Fri will be walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes - 1 hour, depending on how I feel. Tues/Thurs/Sats- Lifting weights along with some core work.
Just remember, all- We may not be there yet but we are closer than yesterday. Let's keep going!
It was my wedding anniversary on Wednesday, and hubs and I celebrated all week! I never went over all of the points I could have eaten, but there was lots if wine, rich food and not much gym time. But it's ok! Back into the healthy groove this week. I find that for me, it helps with weightloss and true lifestyle changes when I can do things I enjoy, like a really good dinner at a really good resturant, an not have it derail me! Life is about living, enjoying things and people in it. Good food and good wine with friends and family is part of who we are, if I cannot do that no amount of weightloss is worth it. So, I stayed even this week. That's ok! I am not up, I am down several sizes, I am way more active than I have been in years, and I will never see 270 again . This has been a week of growth!
