It is so nice to see so many newbies and some great veterans on here!! Let's keep up the hard work; it will pay off!
Strawberry Blond, thanks!! I can't take all the credit for the thread; I'm just continuing what someone else started. Besides, I need it to help keep me on track.
ok---I don't know if i really want to do this.....I weigh every day anyway, so what the hay. (I also keep a Weekly Average, which is useful on accounta all the bounces.) To keep from having to scroll too much, i'm gonna edit this post.
still AAAAAAAARGH!!!!!
But finally some movement. Yay! The 20's!!!!!
Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy
I have a wedding on Feb 2 and my cruise on Feb 17 so this will help me stay motivated to reach some goals ( under 200 for the wedding and under 190 for the cruise. Lofty goals, I know. I may not make it, I know...but I'll be close and I like a challenge!
Before my year-long break, I only weighed on Sundays and kept track for a season at a time. I think I need the daily updates for a while, so here goes:
01: 178.0 TOM
02: 175.8
03: 174.6
04: 174.2
05: 169.6
06: 171.2
Week 1 results = -4.6 loss (not counting the start date as 1/1/13 as clearly i was having TOM issues)
The trip itself was very rough. We went through 70 MPH winds and 12+ ft. waves. DH and I both took the maximum dosage of Bonine. I didn't have any issues but he was nauseated and had vertigo the entire time. He had been on 2 previous cruises, been on a trawler, and goes fishing on a regular basis. I couldn't believe how bad off he was. I have never seen that man so glad to get home from a vacation in my entire life. I had fun even though he had issues. I did a deep water dolphin swim excursion in Atlantis, Nassau. It was absolutely amazing and one of the high points of my life. When we got back home DH saw a commercial for Atlantis. They had a special on flights/rooms. He commented that he wanted to FLY back there one day. So Nassau was a positive experience for him. He was also feeling better when we were in Nassau. I can't see us as taking another cruise, though. I did make the most of it and had fun.
I did okay yesterday, but not great. Much improved, but still not great. I will be glad when I look forward to stepping on the scale again. I remember the excitement when I knew I was doing everything like I should and couldn't wait until time to weigh. Hoping I get back to that place soon.
Things I know I need to do (or not do) today and every day:
Water, Water, Water
Some sort of exercise
No cheating!
Check in with 3FC - be accountable, be supportive
Count Calories - log my food and watch my carb intake
When I first started this journey (before my several detours), I didn't put anything in my mouth that wasn't accounted for and I didn't have anything that was a trigger food for me (sweets, chocolate, carbs). I was diligent. There was no "cheating." If I am ever going to reach my goal weight or be healthy I need to become that diligent again. I am so tired . . . exhausted . . . all the time. Even though I'm still fighting some serious depression and I am still fatigued from a bad case of pneumonia a couple of months ago, I know if I were to take better care of myself - watch my diet and get some exercise - I would feel better. I am so tired of the tears, pretending to the world that I'm fine, when in reality I'm barely functioning . . . time to be proactive and take an active role in life and start taking care of myself.

Kris I can relate. Hang in there. It will get better. I have vowed for things to get better for me, this year, too. I am tired of having issues with things. I am tired of drama. I want to move on. I want to feel better. No one can take care of this but me (with the help from above). You have it in you to get through this. Take one step at a time and make it happen for yourself.
Okay... I'm in, albeit with a late start. I didn't plan on weighing daily, but I'll give it a go.
01/02: 301.25. In a word -- UGH!
01/05: 293.0. Wow, but no doubt includes some non-dieting fluctuation.

01/07: 291.5.
01/08: 290.5.
01/09: 289.75.

01/17: 288.0
01/18: 287.25

01/20: 287.0
01/21: 288.25.
