I'm still hanging out here--I don't seem to be moving downwards very fast. I was 194.0 again this morning. I've hit 193.x but haven't stayed there.
I'm hoping that increasing my walking will help push me lower. I've abandoned my dumbbell challenge :-(. I just can't seem to make myself do it in the evenings. I feel like I'm in a constant state of semi-exhaustion. (probably because I am) Lots of stresses/changes that I just need to get through and can't do away with!
I still look at my newest pants and think they look too small--but they're not. I need to acquire more work pants--but I'm postponing it as long as possible in hopes I move down to a 16 from my current 18. 18 petites are really hard to find--getting to a 16P will really open up my options.
I have splurged on new tops, though--and they're all Large instead of XL. Yay for smaller clothes! And the smaller they get, the more I can fit into a suitcase!
I think I am allowed in here now to mix things up a little!
Howdy everyone.
And smaller clothes rock Beth. They are one of the best motivations!
I am wearing crazy tight stuff at the moment. Very borderline (I can barely button my pants!) but I go tight so the clothes last longer as I ungrow into them.
My weight hasn't moved at all (194.0) but it's the parties that I get into trouble at. If I just quit socializing I wouldn't find it hard to stay on plan at all!
A big reason I do the weight loss thing is to go to the parties Beth! So it is a double-edged sword. But you know my trick well by now. I just drink and not eat.
Saying that, I have a restaurant party on Thursday night. I am going to have to be careful with that one.
JenteIsving, we're happy to have you move in--and we hope that we all leave as quickly as possible! Some of us also hang out in the Cool Kids thread.
I was 194.4 this morning--I'm just hanging around at my ticker and not going down.
On the plus side, my daughter admired my pants Wednesday (I was driving and picked her up) and when we got out of the car and we walked around, she pointed out they were too big for me. Size 18s. Too big. This is good. I don't think I'm quite a 16 yet, but the 18s are getting roomy.
I'm back to walking--the podiatrist says to keep at it and to keep wearing my hiking boots if they help. I can tell how much my glutes/legs have regressed in the last 2.5 months of limited movement--time to get them back to where they were.
I have been stuck in the 190s since March. I get on the scale today and it reads 189.8....for half a second before changing to 190. That's when the cursing started....and the name calling....and the shoe throwing. It was a fight to end all fights. The scale never saw it coming.
