Wow! This thread is blowing up! I'll need to quit one of my jobs to keep up!
I don't really have time for personals, but I'm reading, so Great Job on those losses! And those of you who are experiencing set backs: KEEP FIGHTING!!!
Diana The only difference I feel with lower sodium is I've had headaches the past two days.
Mornings lovely people ! Think the scale is playing hide and seek with me ! Had a good weigh in yesterday - lost 0.9, now today back up 0.4 ! I do find it frustrating, but am resigned to it now. After 70lbs lost I guess I need to shake things up a bit and trick the old trickster into losing
Very awe inspired at those of you who have time to mention everyone's name. It really brightens my day - I'm so sorry not to be able to do the same, but my ,<3 is with you all.
Keep going - there are some awesome losses out there !
1:230.8 - seems like I will never leave the 230's
2:228.4- (-2.4) Oh yes !!
3:228.8 (+0.4) Normal after a whoosh
4:229.1 (+0.3)
5:229.5 (+0.4)
6:228.6 (-0.9)
7:229 (+0.4) WTH ????
I really hope it sticks, now that TOM is gone and I've been getting to the gym every day.
starbrite - I hear you. I don't know how people do it, getting back to everyone personally . You are doing great and despite the ups and downs your total is negative. THat's all that matters ;-)
MamaP - good job on the stairs! I remember being in New York a few years ago and there was a (false) fire alarm at the hotel - at 3:30am!! Had to walk down 25 flights of stairs...and then back UP b/c the elevators didn't work yet . Let's just say it was NOT a pretty sight
Angie - Have you ever heard that if you hang around a group of women long enough all your TOM's will be the same? Think that works online? I managed to shrink 2 days of information down to 1 - it was exhausting. The bf doesn't really understand how exhausting it is to talk for 8 hours straight! By the end of my day on Tuesday I couldn't focus my eyes .4 could just be going to the bathroom before your WI, it'll be gone soon
StarGetsFit - I was thinking the same! I think if I got an internet connection at work, perhaps I could keep up!
starbrite - it's definitely a lot of work keeping up with everyone, but I think most of us have been posting together for a few months at least, so eventually it becomes easier .4 isn't too bad, I'm sure it'll be gone in a day or two
cincimini - woohoo congrats on your 1.2!!
Diana - I am curious what your pre-TOM weight was and if you managed to actually lose during it?
I will weigh in later, but won't likely have time to come back to update.. so I'll be back after work! Have a wonderful day!!
Because I "complained" that I only gained or lost bigger numbers instead of .5 or .6, my body decided to switch it up on me! Always keeping me guessing!
Oh, and I went to O'Charleys last night and was so sad that I couldn't have my favorite (pecan crusted chicken tender salad) because it is SUPER high calorie for a salad...until I realized I could just ask for it with grilled chicken and it would probably cut the calories BIG time. So I asked for grilled chicken and no bleu cheese and ate the heck out of it - I didn't even miss the greasy chicken (at all!).
Diana,I think you did good to watch your sodium intake and to only have a small gain from it.You're learning patterns off what you can eat to make you retain water and gain. That information will help you to keep the weight off for life simply fantastic
Aimee,have a wonderful day
Angie stay focused and try to make good choices during these trying times.You can do it.!!!
Kristi,great job on the decision making at the restaurant.
We are doing this thing people
I'm Down 1.5 I had to weigh about 5 time cause i was shocked.And the shocking thing is..I'm not missing any meals,i eat good and I'm not depriving myself of anything i want.
Ona - Check you OUT lady! Fantastic weigh in Rock On!!
Aimee - I was thinking the same thing about TOM yesterday, I wonder if that really dose apply to online female majority communities
Why all the managers but you?? That's just not kosher!
For me today I am in shock . . . . 176! TOM is being nice this month, then again i still have a few days left, but 176? I've never been 176 . . thats only 2 lbs away from overweight instead of obese. if that's not motivation to hit the gym at lunch I don't know what is
only positive thoughts Diana you will not gain it back!!!!
Ona Ha Ha Look at you wagging your finger at me. I was getting ready to post something and then the next post was the wagging finger. That's too funny. You know, I can always see the positives in others situations, but I tend to have problems seeing the positive in mine. I need to work on that. I am definitely working on a lifestyle change. I have been down this road several times. I would rather not have to go through this again. Great job on your 1.5 pound loss. You are doing an amazing job. I knew your body would catch up with the good work you are doing.
Yeah Diana,me neither..after losing 100 lbs in 95 with Jenny Craig, i didn't know how to eat to keep the weight off once i stopped eating their foods... but I know now I'll always have to watch what i eat but I'll never eat mindlessly anymore cause i know what it will do to me,I've worked too hard and like the way I'm feeling and looking now Thank you
I was thinking the other day,once you reach your final goal..will you stop posting here? cause you're almost there.
Starbrite - You should be so proud of the 70 lbs you've lost already, what an inspiration! Keep your head up!
FitKristi - Finding a healthy alternative to dining out favs rocks, and with little to no depriving one's self.
OnaMi & Coondocks - Congrats on the big losses!!
Well I am down 0.8 lbs today!
I am wearing my power heels to work today which means I am ready to kick some more butt!! We are going to have BEAUtiful weather here the next few days so I am going to utilize the 20 mile trail next to my apartment complex before the dread of winter is upon us ( I dont even want to think about it)
