great job reena lee!! I admit the counting can be a pain and having the will power to not go over the daily allowance can be frustrating, but seeing those new low numbers is the best feeling ever! We just have to keep pushing on! I'm reminded of that chinese proverb " A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step " each choice, each day, each week.... it'll all add up and we'll see our goal come to pass and all this will be a memory!
Well it appears as there are going to be some changes coming in the future for the Zinke house. We were informed that our landlord wants to sell the house we are renting. We have a few questions to get answered in regards to our lease and the kids school and then we can start looking for a new home. I dislike the idea of moving as our current place is pretty great. But I have to keep my chin up and be positive since the kids will pick up on my attitude.
I will be using this as an opportunity to clean out the clutter. We moved from a 1000sq foot house to one with 2400sq ft just over two years ago. I have no idea what I'm going to do with all our crap if we have to downsize.
Thank you Kelly (qt) for the info. I think I will be making use of those facilities as a way to walk off some frustration about the current housing situation.
i have been in the 200s for about 2 years or so now. I remember a doctor's appointment in January 2010 when i was 199, didnt weigh myself for a while afterwards, so im thinking its been about 2 years now.
Started my renewed weight loss journey (for the zillionth time, but this time i mean it) on Feb 3rd at 207.7---- highest I believe i was over the past 2 years was 213---- which although isn't *that* high over onederland, sure felt like a lot to me, and its a lot of weight on a 5'2 person. well, today, i was 200.6--- only 0.7 away from 199.9!! almost there! this daily weighing stuff is pretty good, actually, seeing that 200.6 made me motivated to keep going and not cheat today!!
im super impressed and motivated by all of you working hard and having lost so much more than I have ! glad i found the group here
258.6 today just off tom, stressed, ate high salt this week, and worked out so that should account for the fact i should be a few lbs lower. i weighed before pretom bloating 2 weeks ago at 259.2 so in 2 weeks on plan i had to have lost more than 0.6lbs
Hi girls! I've been sick, off and on, for over a week now, but today I'm feeling great, motivated and ready to get back to exercising. Haven't done that in at least a week and I don't like feeling so achy in the mornings when I get up. Makes me feel old!
I have been frustrated with my fractured focus...work, raising teenage boys, diet, exercise, school, social life. Can't do it all at once. But I can work on bits and pieces here and there and keep moving forward. While I was sick, I was feeding my emotions, but I've managed to get back down to 296 lbs by going very low carb.
I went through my closet last night and found proof that my weight training is doing me some good. Because ALL my coats and jackets are too big. I mean I'm swimming in them! Going to drop them off at GoodWill tomorrow. My closet is half empty! I discovered that my size 24 pants are getting a bit more roomy in the seat and thighs. So whatever weight I'm hanging on to must be water not released from the formerly full fat cells. Let it go!!!!!!
My ambitious goal is to be in a size 20 by June. That's when my friend and I are flying to London, and then we're going to Edinburough for a week. I am so excited to go! Planning the perfect travel wardrobe...
I am happy we have so many new friends in here! Welcome! So much fresh enthusiasm and lots of successes too! Great fuel for all of us. I am envious of everyone in the mid 200s. I'm still at the top end...STILL. I lose my steam, let carby things creep into my diet, let my frustrations get the best of me, quit exercising for a few days, get mad at myself, get back on track. You know the cycle! But I do like coming here and reading how well you're all doing and I'm happy to hang with you here. Thanks!
Onederland here I come.. well it will take a while but be looking for me because I will get there!
Today I take the first step towards you.. Weight: 290
Today, I'm going to ride your backside all the way down! I'm right behind you at 296.
Charlaine, how do you like weighing on that digital scale? I'm still clinging to my old dial scale. It's like a personal grudge match. And my eyesight ain't so good any more, so counting the little lines is a challenge. I'm terrified if I got a new scale it would weigh me at a higher number and then I'd obsess with the digital fractions.
Happy, so close to Onederland!
Zinke, I love moving. I'm sick that way, but it really does help with cleaning out the clutter. I used to "lose" things like the X's highschool jeans that he thought he'd get back into. OMG! He was a walking stick back then! 6' 2" and 155 lbs! I think I even misplaced him in the last move. Felt good! (OOOooops! TMI?) Well, hope your packing and moving is a good experience for you and that you find a nice new home.
I did not sleep well last night, so I'm skipping Pilates today and I'm going back to bed. Have a great day, chickees!
I have been up and down between 261 and 259 for a week. Driving me crazy. Today, however....solid 258! I think maybe I'm in the 250's to stay. That just made my day!!
It will be so nice to be closer to 200 than 300. (which will happen at 249, of course!)
Also, when I hit 251 I will have lost as much as my son weighs, and that will be cool!!
AND when I reach 244 I'll be halfway to goal!
Lots of things happening over the next 15 pounds! Somehow these little "goals" keep me on track!
Change4Life--how exciting to be moving down! you're getting there!
yesterday, i was 200.6, so i was hoping to have lost 0.7 so that i'd be down to 199.9 today, but no..... 200.0 today! arrgh ! (fake frustration, i am happy to be down). now, if tomorrow happens to be a gain day, and im not in onderland tomorrow, lol........
I'm reminded of that chinese proverb " A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step " each choice, each day, each week.... it'll all add up and we'll see our goal come to pass and all this will be a memory!
I am proud of you!!!!!!!
