160.4 for the third day in a row. REALLY?? Haha! I had a bit of a food splurge last night at a work celebration but the plate was tiny and I kept portions small so I guess it wasn't too bad.
Welcome, Retro!
Joan, sorry about the slow weightloss. I know how you feel. My head tells me it's silly to project the negative thoughts on friends and that they just want to spend time with ME. but my shame makes me avoid friends until I am "presentable ". I hope you can relax and enjoy the lunch.
Great job CoolMom! you'll be leaving us soon to join the next thread (150's!). Hopefully I won't be too far behind you, but I've been yoyo'ing back and forth between 163-165 these last couple of weeks. It may take me a little time to get there. It's been difficult since my husband taken off for two weeks to go to England. I hate being by myself and the stress and lack of sleep is making me eat. When I sleep, I sleep with all the lights on, I sleep on the sofa with my car keys (car alarm) and phone next to me. I never knew I was such a wimp! I can't wait until my husband returns just so that I have that security blanket back! call me Linus! :-)
Nice job Coolmom! Welcome (almost) to the 160's Frances! You're so close to goal!
163 on the dot today. Up a pinch from last week, but between road tripping and visiting family I'll take it. Back on plan and going for a family bike ride instead of a family meal today.
My family is big on family dinners and eating together which is nice, but it's not always being perceived well when I make my own food to eat. My dad tried to do healthy things so I would eat it, but I won't eat anything I can't get the calorie information on almost perfectly. The more of an estimate the more I'll push it even if it is healthy so it's better if I just don't partake.
If I keep it up in just a week and a half I can join the 150's! yay! yay! yay!
I bounced back up to 160.4 today. Not worried though, because I'm still on plan.
Olly, on my Lose It app I create recipes for all my homemade foods and even though it's a chore in the beginning, over time we tend to cook the same things and then I have all my recipes ready to go. I think it is fairly accurate.
Thanks CoolMom. I'll definitely check that out. I really like logging and recording things so it's not so much a chore for me and for the few things I do actually cook I meticulously weight and count. I don't want to do all that for the less than two months I'll be visiting here though. I just need to train the family not to feed me.
I'm 161.7. I think part of my week of weight gain was just fluctuations because I wasn't actually that bad and there's no way I actually lost that much in a day.
I'm dying to break into the 150's. I'm less than ten pounds over weight. I still feel HUGE though. When I'm done I want to weight somewhere between 130 and 145, but I'm scared I'll still feel as big as I do now. I have pictures of me weighing a little bit more than I do now from 4-5 years ago that I considered my skinny time. I look at those pictures and I think I looked skinnier in them than I do in pictures now, but I weight less. What is that?!
160.5 pounds today and I threw out every single pair of pants I own. I tried on ten pairs of thrift store size 13 pants and every single one fit. I threw out all of my pants. It's thrift store pants till goal from here =D
I've eaten perfectly and exercised somewhat reasonably, but I'm afraid to get on the scale. I don't want to weigh myself until I'm sure I'm in the 150's, but it's making me crazy!
Hello! I had reached my goal of 155 but then my schedule changed with school, I stopped having time for myself, and there was a death in the family. All of this equaled a 10 lb weight gain.
I just want to be out of the 160's and I know that Im only here because of all my late night stressed out me time eating. I have been working on taking time for myself rather than eating for about a week. Im at 165 right now.
Hello everyone! I'm still here. I've been fighting to lose the last couple of weeks and I'm stuck at 165. I really want to get to 155 by Christmas. I need to re-assess my diet. I've been having back problems that have prevented exercising the last 8 weeks. I've increased water intake today and hope that this may be the key. I'm already eating about 1200 calories a day. I may try to decrease carbs a tad bit and see if this kick starts my weight loss again. Happy Thanksgiving to all, in case I don't get back on to this forum this week.
Olly, wishing you the best on seeing 'that' number! I don't know how you can drive yourself mad though by not checking.
Well nearly two weeks after my last post and I'm still here. I am maintaining through the holidays. I just see that same 2 lbs coming on/off at the moment. Too many treats all over the place and too many xmas parties at the office and with friends. If I get through the month of December without weight gain, I will be happy.
