You ever have that super-light feeling when your weight is dropping and know you're going to have a drop the next day...well I'm not feeling it tonight...LOL...I think it's my schedule.
I did a 1hr-of-sleep-over-last-24h and post-breakfast weigh in that was 217.4, had lunch, slept for about 5h and still weighed 217.4. We'll see what the morning brings. Oh...weighed in just because I was curious...
love2b: show TOM who's boss, stick to oyour plan
Angie: hang in there. I love the thought of thinking in food groups, it makes decisions so much easier right?
Vixsin:
Jamisue: you look great, you can really see a difference! you make me want to take some b4 and after pics...actually I have, just not posted....maybe we can all do some b4 shots in the next couple of weeks and start a new thread with monthly b4/after pics -- I think konfoozed does monthly shots already
OK. I had trouble figuring out how to atch pics in post or signature, so my new profile pic (not the avatar) is my official before photo - I took this in the last 1 month or so I think -- somewhere when I was in the 220's -- I'm only 5ft even so that's a lot of weight ... I'm going to try monthly photos on my official WI date which is the 15th of each month - visit my profile page
I wish I had time to blog about this weight loss journey - well I guess I pretty much do that here....
WOW I can officailly say "when I was in the 220's"
I forgot to move my ticker when I made it to 215.2...now I have to wait for another drop...I DO NOT move the ticker in the other direction
Hmm, well the okra didn't set well last night. I ate too much of it and too late. I kept waking myself up rolling from side to side. Then I finally woke up 30 minutes before the alarm clock with my stomach gurgling and feeling queasy. TMI ALERT: I didn't use the bathroom yesterday (BM). I have already gone this morning. That is early for me. Hopefully my stomach will settle a little. I think the next time I won't worry about not having enough calories for the day. I can make up for it the next day. I don't like that queasy feeling.
Calories for the day: 1390 +
Weigh In: 144.6
Down: .8
Vixsin & Rennie DH and I had discussed that when something happens to Magnum that we were not going to get another pet. Well, DH really misses not having a dog and wants to get another one. I don't know when it will be, though. I am going to let him take care of that and make the choice. I love all dogs. I want to make sure he is happy with it.
Diana - sorry for your tummy troubles. Last night when I read about you eating because you hadn't had enough calories, I thought to myself, "I usually consider that a GOOD day when I get to bedtime and am a little short on calories!" LOL I don't count as strictly as you do. I just try to stay within a range I know is good and eat a combination of foods that I know are healthy. I know I'm short and over from day to day.
Today is WI for me - down from 176.0 last Wednesday to 172.8 this week, so I'm happy for the little whoosh after staying at 176 for 2 weeks. I'm claiming 173 and changing my ticker! (Can't figure out how to get it to take the fractions, so I always round up.)
I must have jinxed myself yesterday, because I think I'm now retaining water or something. Up 1.5 this morning to 201.9 (which is the highest number I saw, lowest was 201.5). My legs felt kinda heavy this morning too. As long as this is not the beginning of another upward trend, I'll deal with it. What else can I do?

Lin Great job! The 3FC's tickers don't have the fractions. If you want to show them, the ones at tickerfactory.com will do that. We ate at a different place last night. It was more expensive, so I ordered the half order of salmon. I could have eaten the bread that came with the food, but I didn't. They serve a garlic/cheddar seasoned bread. I know for a fact that it has MSG. I would rather avoid that because I know I will react one way or another.
Here's my issue when it comes to getting extra calories. It's easier to get them in the form of carbs/sugar. But, I don't want to do that because they tend to make me have cravings. Tonight I will be eating rice at the Japanese restaurant. I won't have any problems with calories tonight.
Start May 15 - 238
June 15 - 229 (-9 total wt loss)
July 15 - 222.4 (-15.6 total wt loss)
July 31 217.8 - August 15th official weigh in
8/1 - no WI
8/2 - 218.2 (+0.4)
8/3 - 219.6 (+1.4)
8/4 - 220.2 (+0.6)
8/5 - no WI
8/6 - 216.8 (-3.4)
8/7 - 215.2 (-1.6)
8/8 - 216.6 (+1.4)
8/9 - no WI 8/10 - 217.4 (+1.2) ...must be the schedule...I have too many +++++'s for the month with significant gain (overall net loss for the month is -0.4)
interesting -- I did a sneak peak yesterday on 2 separate occasions and the scale said 217.4? -- I will patiently wait...still trying to make goal of 214 or close to it by 8/15. That would give me a 8lb wt loss for the last month, right now I am at 5lb -- which I am happy with, as my goal is 4-8lb a month.
Down .8 of the water to 188.6. Reasonable sleep last night. My muscles are sore today from dancing 2 nights in a row but I don't mind. I'm flushing with liquids. LOL
More work on the kitchen today. Need to get the kitchen table cleaned off, get the walls wiped and get a few pictures hung up. They won't be in frames like I would have liked but I feel it's just time to get them on the wall! LOL Maxwell's chores will be both bathrooms and wiping down the appliances in the kitchen today. I am SO excited to see how nice things look when we are finished.
I know cleaning is exercise but I am really wanting to try Bob Harper's strength DVD tonight. Maybe Pilates? Pilates would be the smarter choice after 2 nights of dancing. Anywho, I'm on plan and I'm focused.
Im back in full effect! I have been under the weather and not feeling good and before that was on vacation and had a ball! Its time to get back rolling so I want August to be a good month. Good luck everyone I would love to get down to 225 I have been gaining weight.

Thanks LGW good to see you (avatar) Keep working your plan you can do it, and water water water
Diana I feel for you (that's my tummy most times) Aw that's so sweet.
Lin great job on the 3.2 Gone for the week the 3FC tickers don't do fractions but the ticker factory tickers will. I also like my lower days, those days I know the scale will be my friend
ilbnej good job on the .5 down What kind of scale do you have? I would love to have one that shows odd and even point numbers.
Kukkie I forgot to comment about not finding a picture that you liked in the dress. You know we are our own worse critics. I'm sure you looked beautiful Maybe you'll get to post one from your next formal event Sorry about the gain this morning, hoping it's just sodium and you can drown it out and expect a great whoosh in the coming days
Good Morning Ona (busy lady). Have a great day
Vixsin good job on the .8 down, love your plan and your focus
Matilda great whoosh 2lbs Gone
Well got my wish down another .4 to 176.4 Ona didn't I tell you that you would catch up with me in a couple of weeks and you did in a little over a week. You go girl. OK off to do some vacuuming and dusting and more cleaning and more cleaning. Going bowling later. BBL
