Claygirl1518 Thank you! If I weigh myself midday or at night I'm out of Onederland but at least I can appreciate the mornings when I am. Until I lose a bit more that is.
I'm in onederland this morning! Weighed at 198.8 pounds. I haven't been in the "100's" since my early 20's. Starting to feel stuck and down a bit about the scale but I had a "whoosh" after changing my foods a bit due to boredom. I can't believe I can now say that I'm in the 100's. GOODBYE 200's forever!
Congrats on onederland Cheddacat that's so exciting! It must feel great to be there, and you've worked so hard to lose 47 pounds. Way to go!!
I'm at 201.2 today, still struggling to lose. I think I may have a thyroid issue. I've posted about it in the thread "health concerns" on weight loss support, so I won't go into it again. Right now I'm just sticking with my calorie intake and trying to be as active as I can (which isn't much right now because I barely have the energy to take a shower or clean the kitchen). Today I've noticed that my appetite is disappearing, I'm now forcing myself to eat at least 1200 calories a day. I'm getting as much info on my symptoms as possible (lists because I forget important things) so hopefully my gyno can help me to feel better. I've been feeling very guilty about how I've been lately because of my husband and work. Ive been doing the bare minimum at home and at work, because I'm picking what I absolutely have to get done, and forcing myself to get through them without passing out. I just want to feel better, and hopefully I can join all of you in onederland soon.
Take care, Claygirl1518. You're reacting very sensibly, I hope it's all resolved soon. I know fatigue from depression and it's brutal.
Checking in, trying not to go off the rails! I'm so busy with the move. I'm trying to be sensible, grab salads when I can, drink my carrot juice, etc. I'm also going out with friends a lot = eating heavy, fatty foods and having cocktails. Oh, well. Still working to find balance during a very busy time.
In the rush to make sure everything is order, I'm letting my daily walking goal fall by the wayside. It's funny because I FEEL active. As move larger pieces of furniture, haul stuff to be donated or thrown away, run up and down stairs, man do I sweat! But when I consult my pedometer, I'm not hitting my daily goal. I'm not going to stress about it. Once I'm settled, I will get back in the groove. For the moment, I'll do the best I can.
I'm not even going to weigh myself right now. I'll make sure I get one more in before I toss my old scale, though
scout83- moving is so stressful! You seem to be doing well considering how hard it is to eat right when you don't have a kitchen to eat in (last time my husband and i moved we had pizza and hot wings on the floor in our new house. super healthy! However, I bet you are being super active. You may not be hitting your steps but I bet you are lifting a lot and just packing and unpacking all that stuff can be exhausting! I'm always amazed at the junk I never use that I find when I move, it's ridiculous. Always car loads for salvation army. Good luck with you move!
200.2 today. I haven't seen 199 in a while... I would love to see it again soon. We shall see.
Back up to 201.2 today. Sometimes I wonder if my body will ever let me cross the border again! I've seen so many people reach onederland now... I just want to be there with them! I know it's purely psychological but I've been trying to get from 203 to 199 since June! It's August, and I'll admit, I thought I would be well into the 190s by now. I guess I need to adjust my expectations. I guess everyone else is busy because it's been really quiet around here!
I'm still plugging along. I weighed 212.6 today. I'm slowly making my way down to onederland. This process is so slow this time but I am determined to stick to it.
Well my goal was to be in the 1s by the time I visited my family this summer... Well here I am, in my parent's house and weighing in at ... 205.6 Meh, it's the lowest weight I've been at in a couple years so at least there's that.
My new goal is 10lbs lost by Halloween, slow and steady wins the race!
Getting closer! 2.2 pounds lost this week. 2.2 pounds to go to hit solid in Onederland. God help me it if takes more than another two weeks to get there. I think I've decided that my reward for making it will be to buy a hula hoop.
Claygirl1518 Oh, I've had my fair share of pizza this last week!
As of today, the only thing to eat in my kitchen is oatmeal and peanut butter. Guess what I had for breakfast today? Out for dinner with friends tonight.
I weighed in at 209 today I'm not changing my ticker because...well because I'm not changing my ticker And with that, the scale goes in the trash until I buy a new one in Minnesota. I need to find my equilibrium again. I have movers coming to take away donated furniture today and in a few days will pack up the rented truck. Along the way, I've got friends and family to see/say goodbye. Weight loss is on my mind but it's just not front and center at the moment.
It's nice to check in and see everyone doing well. Under 200 and juuuust getting there- good job, gals!
