*peaks in* Hello...I weighed in at 187.6 today so I guess that counts. I am trying my best to do well until Saturday...where I will do what the h3ll I want for my 30th birthday and then back at it on Sunday
Hey ladies! How is everyone doing?
I'm having a cheat day today because tomorrow I good job! To a lower calorie regime to get these last few pounds off...
love2b150--congrats on the dropping numbers--I hope you get through this decade quickly!
Welcome CakeBatter--and Happy birthday! (Today is DH's birthday--I didn't make him a cake)
I was 182.6 this morning (after a, um, [TMI] productive bathroom morning) (More TMI: it's still something I only manage every 3-5 days).
I'm more than ready to get to the next decade--179 is calling me! If the scale is still 182 something in the morning, I'll update my ticker and my next mini goal (which is actually 180--exactly 50 lbs--and exactly half way to goal)
Like Mozzy with her new lower calorie goal, I'm feeling re-energized right now--and very motivated. Part of my motivation is practical--size 18 pants are too lose. Size 16s vary but are mostly a bit tight. I'm not buying more 18s but I've got to be comfortable!
Have any of you done any bra shopping while losing weight? I pulled some "put away" bras out of the closet a few weeks ago, but actually went shopping yesterday. They say 75-80% of women wear the wrong size bra. That is untrue--100% of women do, since all the size calculators give different numbers--and it's impossible to wear the right size on every calculator!
The calculators I used said things from 34H (really--where do you find an "H" bra?) to 42A (don't think so). At my highest weight, I was a 42DD. I'm not an "A" cup in any world--even at my lowest weight, pre-kids, I wore a 34B.
So, I went shopping and brought home 4 bras, all by Olga, all 38DD. I'm wearing a new one today and it's incredibly comfortable.
oh my goodness I typed my personals and loss them,
Thanks Mozzy
Thanks Beth I'm back up to 189 this morning after eating 3 garlic bread sticks at dinner last night, smh But I'll do better today I've been there on sizes also drives me nuts being in between sizes. I wore the wrong size bra for years but finally took my daughters advice and went to Victoria's Secret and let her do the fitting. I love their bras but they are so expensive.
It feels like I've been in the 180s forever and am finally moving down and have the 170s in my sights. I hit 189 on July 6th--I've been bouncing around between 186 & 188 for a while, so I'm thrilled to be losing again. I'm less than three pounds from halfway! I was losing 2 lbs/week for several months but lately it's been less than a lb/week.
Like mozzy, I'm recommitting this month--I have a party this weekend and one the weekend after and I am NOT going to allow myself to eat nonstop. I want to get into the 170s more than I want to eat party food.
Having the 50 lb mark so close is really motivating me!
I haven't been posting because I still haven't "officially" made it into the 180's
This last while has been tough -- the last week of August felt like the last bit of summer for me. I took Fridays off for the month -- which really threw me off track. I do much better when I am limited to eat what I brought for lunch.
Like Beth - I am near my halfway mark as well. I want to loose a total of 100 lbs, and hitting 187 lbs will be my halfway mark. I was also loosing, on average, 2lbs per week until about the middle of August. Once I got into onerland I guess I felt like I could take a bit of a break. But I think that is bad thinking.
I want to recommit to my weightloss, but I feel like I am used to cheating now... like it's "not so bad"....
Do you have any tips for getting back on track half-way through your weight loss journey?
Still 191 ....
