I know it's just daily weights but the last few days have been increasingly under 238 (last weeks weight). Maybe maybe I'll be at my 10% goal weight! Ohhh goodie!
I've lost 26lbs - woop, woop! And set a new goal of 220 for 1 May as that's 100kg so a nice little bench mark.
People are starting to notice!
NSVs - my jeans were falling down on Saturday. My wellies weren't tight on my calves. I fit into a dress that I thought was a little too tight on my paunch - unfortunately my shoulders and arms have got bigger, so a little tight across there. Hmmm...
G'morning ladies!! (And gents) WI 220.6 this week. So, so close to the next double decade thread. Counseling...glad we went, but it sent me on a bit of a binge. Nothing absolutely horrible, just more food than I normally eat and some bad choices. Then I reined it in after reminding myself, he nor his bs is worth 20 pounds OR 20 years to life. I did smoke too. Which just ticks me off. So now I have to redo that whole thing. Which really sucks. It is what it is and now decisions have to be made. I feel like I'm spinning in circles and the only thing I can control right now is my diet, my movement and what I let into my body, and right now, with stressors, it needs to be as healthy as I can make it.
Sounds like everyone's making progress (whether it be on the scale, NSV, or in practical life lessons)!
I posted on this thread a week and a half or so ago, and have been coming back to read all the encouragement and struggles of you all to keep me motivated, but couldn't bring myself to post again because the scale keeps jumping up and down. I didn't want to get my hopes up that I could really be in this thread!! (I think TOM is screwing with me because I know I've been eating in a deficit for calories)
Just dropping by to say how encouraging you all are, and it's comforting to know everyone else has struggles too. Angihas2 Good luck kicking the smoking habit; if you have the willpower/strength to lose 75pounds, I know you can do just about anything. Way to go!! AlmostMe Don't you love the feeling of clothes being too big! I had to go buy another pare of jeans because my current ones are really baggy SeeMyFeet I weighed in today at 238, so I'll echo that "Ugh". Keep going! Brandibooxox So close to a new thread!! You can do it!
This is my normal pattern based on my carb cycling, so I shouldn't be bummed out, I just need to not expect to see that drop into the twenties until later in the week.
It sounds like everyone is doing great...despite having struggles. Stay strong!
I was up two pounds this morning to 234. I'm hoping sodium...I didn't over eat this weekend, but I did have salty soup yesterday.
Today I'm wearing an outfit I haven't worn in 2-3 weeks and I can tell it fits better than it did before! I have to remember, it's the little things like this that show my results, not just the scale.
After a week of the scale not moving, it finally budged to 235.6 this morning. That makes it an official 70lbs lost! Woohoo! At this rate, I just might make it to under 200 by my birthday in June, but we'll see. I'd be just to reach 100 lbs lost. We shall see. Carry on, everyone...keep on keepin on!
Seemyfeet and Lebenalles, congratulations to the both of you!
Today is my official WI day and, while the 2lb I was up yesterday is now gone, I didn't lose anything this week. Oh well, that's how the ball bounces sometimes .
I'm thinking about not weighing again until the end of the month and see if that helps or hinders me. I have the will power to resist the junk food, but do I have the will power to resist the scale?
Scale flashed at 219.2 this morning. (Keyword flashed). I will be sticking around here for a few more days just to be sure. I love reading all these posts, so motivational.
Urgh, sorry I haven't been posting much, I'm still stuck at 227 and I can't see any reason for it, I'm eating within my calories, I'm working out every day and TOM is long gone
Feeling pretty frustrated! I will keep at it and keep you updated.
Well done everyone - you all seem to be doing so well! *big luffs*
