Thank you! Weight Watchers but I've been using the simply filling technique the past few weeks. It was working well, actually, but with the insanity of the past few weeks (getting to crunch time in the Spring semester and I had to actually teach a class Thursday...lawd...)
So really I know this is probably more user-error than anything. I know I'm eating within my point-allotment, but I haven't been eating as "lean" as I should probably.
I know! Today I was 191.8 again...as I was yesterday! I'm terrified because my BEST FRIEND from back home is coming to visit me for a week and I'm gonna have to "be good" the whole time. But if I can do that, I know I can do anything!
Wow, it seems to be working great for you!! Oh and I know what you mean when friends visit! I go to school in Vegas now so I always have friends over and with the buffets they want to go too, it's always annoying!! But you'll make it!! I weighed in at 192.0 today... I want out of the 190s SO BADLY.
I've been eating 1200 cals, exercising ~500cals and still stuck!! But I guess my body is still adapting?? But good luck!!! Keeping my fingers crossed that we get down to the 180s this month!
Woohoo! Yes, absolutely! I was at 192.2 today! I find it's best not to stress about that number so much, though...you know that with the reduced diet and working out more that something must be happening, so at least there's that!
Hello everyone! I'm relatively new to this site and have been searching for a "get out of the 190s" thread. Is it alright if I join here? Today I weighed in at 195.8, a new low for me, and I would like to be out of the 190s in a couple of weeks if possible.
Welcome, ak, you are more than welcome to post here. Of course we all hope not to stick around this thread too long!
As for myself, my weight's been bouncing all over the place this week. Yesterday I saw a new low of 192.6, then I was back up to 194 this morning. TOM is looming so I won't get out of the 190s this week, but I will definitely get there by the end of the month.
I went dress shopping yesterday, which was quite traumatic and made me more determined than ever to get this weight back off.
Thanks for the welcome, thistoo! Congrats to you on the new low, that's an inspiring number. If I may ask, what exercise/food plan are you following? As for me I am logging everything I eat on MyFitnessPal and will begin a workout regimen of 3 cardio yoga workouts per week & 3 walking workouts per week tomorrow. Hope to advance to step aerobics or Jillian Michaels workouts in the next 2 weeks or so, once I get my body more used to a regular routine of exercise.
DrivenByAmbition - YAY!! Must be such an amazing feeling to see a glimpse of the 180s. Seriously, a big congrats to you on that.
If I may ask, what exercise/food plan are you following?
The first time I lost a chunk of weight (95 pounds total) I calorie counted, mostly. This time around I'm following the Paleo Diet and the weight's coming off faster. I've always worked out, a mix of cardio and 3x a week strength training, but I'm working running back into my routine now. I hate running. HATE. But it's really the only thing that works for me, cardio-wise, so I'm doing it anyway.
Having said all that, I am fairly atypical when it comes to weight loss. I'm really carb sensitive and it's hard for me to lose consistently unless I'm really strict with keeping grains out of my diet. Your plan sounds very sound. Good luck!
DrivenByAmbition, congratulations! I hope to be right behind you.
191.2 again today, finally getting back to work after my friend visited! I got up to around 193-194 range for a few days there but I think if I had weighed myself BEFORE I ate today I would have been in the 190 arena and that would have been helpful to my psyche! lol
chel3fsea - A big congrats to you, you are almost out of the 190s! Even on the low-end of 191, good for you! lol I never weigh myself after I eat, it depresses me. What plan are you following right now?
Good luck getting back to work & hope you had a great time with your friend.
Thank you! Yes, I know, but today is my weigh-in day and I forgot this morning! Either yesterday or the day before it said 193.something so I'm happy to see the 191... to be honest, my heart skipped a beat because it stopped around 188 for a second, I was ready to squeal! I'm on Weight Watchers and getting back into actually recording what I'm eating (every few months I get bad and STOP COMPLETELY!) but I'm still aware of what I put in my mouth...Also, the weather is getting warmer again here in Colorado so I'll be hiking more often!
Of course I had a WONDERFULLLLLLL time with my best friend, it was really the best time ever. I'm so sad that she's goneeeeee
chel3fsea - That 188 sounds like such a tease! lol but know that you will be there very soon. Good luck with Weight Watchers! I know a few people who have done it and had great success; I am sure you will too. Have fun with the hiking! I am not a big hiker - always worried about getting too out of breath and left behind, I guess, but maybe once I get into better shape I'll find it more enjoyable. Have fun with that warmer weather, I'm jealous! It's rainy and cold here in Seattle this evening.
Bummer your friend has left! I know the sad feeling that comes after family/friend visits all too well. My whole family lives on the East Coast and it's always so sad to leave them, or have them leave me when they visit. But at least you had a wonderful time with her!
I want out of the 190s SO BADLY.
