Can I join in here? I was 290.0 last weigh in, so will be in the 280s this coming weigh in (probably there now). I really need people who are focused on health as I don't have that in my daily life right now.
I started calorie counting this week instead of WW and it's already working! (270.1, down a pound since last weigh in) Maybe I'll make it out of the 270's by Sept 1st after all!
Wow jenicra u have really been doing something awesome this wk! Seems like you have lost weight everytime u blink! lol
I'm joining with you guys! I have been 276 for a long time! Earlier this year I went from 281 to 274, but I've been maintaining 276 for a while. Hope exercising will get 6 lbs off pretty quick!
I think I may weigh-in twice a wk? Everyday flucuations kind of depress me !
Thanks Jenicra....Today, I officially hit 269.8...Wooohoooo!!!! I know that's only .2 into the 260's but I'll take it. That's six long and ridiculous months gaining and losing the same 5-10 lbs, hanging out in the 270's like I was planning to be a lifetime member. But nope, no thanks.
Hang in there guys, you'll be outta here in no time and boy is it exciting! See you in the 260's!
Whoohoo LebenAlles - see you there in the fall (probably next month)!
After 10 days of dropping like it's going out of style, my scale/body finally had enough. I bounced back to yesterday's weight, 273.8. Interestingly enough, every single day over the past 10 days I've eaten over my WW points 3-14 points per day. Yesterday I ate exactly my allotment. Interesting.
Right after I posted I was 276, I went up to 281... but it was bc it was TOM! So I'm now at 276/277. My pants are fitting looser in the waist bc I've been exercising for 2 1/2 weeks now!! Since I've been working out hard, I've probably gained a lil muscle causing me to be my original weight, yet clothing starting to get more loose. I'm excited to finally be committed to losing weight! I have a thyroid disease, but I'm not going to let that stop me!!
Can I also join? I'm 278 lbs. A year and a half ago, I lost over 25 lbs due to surgery and taking care of myself. I ate 5 small meals a day and exercised. This year, my work required 11 hour days working and in training. I literally dropped into bed every night. I stressed ate and with no exercise am now am back to my pre-surgery weight. I still have to check up with my surgeon and feel like I've let him down gaining this weight back. I have two more check ups to go and would like a new life. I'm up for the challenge.
Yesterday I was at 270.8, today 272.2. Granted, I didn't eat that great yesterday, but I'll make up for it today (and some of that may be water retention. God only knows that you have to drench campus food in salt to make it palatable. And this is freaking culinary school!).
Getting out of the 270s is my first hump to get over.
