After a serious stall in Feb, the scale is wooshing like crazy for me. 3lbs down last week and another 3lbs down so far this week. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, I just hope it is here to stay! I keep thinking that the scale somehow is wrong. It's not giving me the utmost confidence in it with all of its indecision. I have an analog scale also (that seems to be less accurate) but they both are moving in the same downward direction, so I think it might be right. I have been journaling really tightly and keeping my calories from 1200 to 1400 whereas before I had them at 1500 to 1700. Maybe this is the difference I needed. My clothes are fitting looser now than they were at the beginning of the week.
Sometimes I just have to accept things that I don't want to accept. I have lowered my calorie levels and my loss has improved. I have been thinking a great deal about all Robin's posts about the willingness to do whatever it takes to lose this weight. I had to ask myself what am I willing to do? Am I willing to do more than I have been doing for the past 3 months? The funny thing is that now I have lowered my calories, it is not the big deal that I thought that it would be. It is not that drastic a difference. I was averaging 1350/day and I dropped it to an average of 1250/day but that 100 calories seems to make a difference.
Beach... awesome!
Traci... yay!!!!
Time2lose... I hear ya... I'm averaging around there too and the scale is finally moving. Whatever it freaking takes right? It it's easy to get used to if you are eating the right foods.
Me this morning? After a fruit and veggie feast yesterday I am at 200.4. Yay! Maybe tomorrow????
Time2Lose... interesting that dropping your cals by 100 cals has made a difference....
100 calories is such a tiny margin of error-- even though I weigh and measure most of my food I always figure that there is a 200 calorie margin of error in there.
Me, I'm just bobbing up and down. Dang, I want to hit 215 which would be my 80 lb mark.
This is so COOL and interesting ! Everyone posting daily shows exactly that our weights are fluctuating all the time...This shows in black and white that there is no accurate reading but a (hopefully downward) general trend... Silly but I feel so much better seeing this.
I knew it was coming!! I'm putting my party shoes on for ya!
