Still hovering between 77 and 78 kilos (somewhere between 169.5-172lb); part of me can't wait to get back to a scale marked out in lbs! It is so much easier to see your progress reflected in the numbers.
Recently, I've been eating well but not exercising very much. I've had all kinds of excuses for not exercising, some valid, and others not so much. About two weeks ago I was really sick, major snot-factory, cough, headaches, the works, and that knocked me off of running for a week. And just when I got better, I ended up walking around all afternoon in the wrong pair of shoes and massacred my feet. Horrid blisters, couldn't even walk in my running shoes. So I let the blisters heal a bit, and then I started coming up with other excuses...feeling too tired, a headache, rain.
I've been a little bit better, going for long walks etc. (no gym here, can't afford it) but I need to start running again! The plan is to run tonight, after work and before going out. And I'm going to stick to it, darn it!
jessica- well i was very good last night! I had plenty of water and stayed under my calories and nothing to drink! I'm so happy...now lets see if I can get through tonight. hehe.
I have recently peaked into the 170's (I think I am 177ish) my birthday is in 3 weeks...8 pounds in 3 weeks is kind of unrealistic...But that is what I am shooting for! 169 for my 21st! Happy birthday to me!
Im trying something different this week...Low carb. Lol. I typically shoot for 1500 calories a day--not really caring that much on what I eat, as long as its within 1500 calories. I mean I do restrict junk and stuff I'm definitely a healthy eater its just that if one day I happen to REALLY want an ice cream and its within my calorie range then Ill eat it and maybe eat a lighter dinner or something or adjust my cals accordingly.
Well today I averaged out the weight I lose per month...which turns out to be about 6 lbs per month. I know I should just be happy with that, but just to maybe try something different for a week and maybe shock my body a little I'm going low carb this week. In the past if I'm lucky I'll lose like a pound--maybe two (if i'm REALLY lucky) a week. So I'm hoping this might give me a whoosh. Maybe im nuts for doing this though--since why would you try to fix something thats not really broken. I mean i might end up gaining or something when I go back to "healthy" eating...I dunno...but I'm still staying in my calorie range of course, just limiting carbs.
Gawd sorry this was so long just needed to get this off my chest. Ill give you a report back later...today I weighed in at 173 still. Just so you know.

While I was away this weekend, I tried and I felt I did pretty good until I got on the scale at home Sunday night. I was up to 178. With fluctuation, I was down to 177.2 last night and this morning. I weighed in at the dieticians this morning at 174.08, only a few onces less than I did at the doctors last week. But it means I didn't gain ...but I didn't loose either
Ugh, this weekend sent me back up to 176. There were so many cakes and treats EVERY DAY! I'm glad I only gained 2 pounds. Well, I'm back on the job today so, no biggie.
Hey everyone,
I currenty am sitting still at 176 have been for a while, but recently I completely stopped drinking soda and I have been running 5 times a week 3 miles hopefully I can see the 169 on the scale again. I'll be weighing in every other Thursday.
i keep going up to 176/6 then back to 174, i saw 173 yesterday... but 175 today. wtf? i was so good yesterday! i went to the fair and walked loads but didnt have any craziness (fried oreos?!)
i dont know. maybe this is why i should weigh in once a week? but i feel that if i dont weigh in almost every day my weight will creep up
Well I have successfully been eating low carb for 3 days now--I probably have been eating 5-20 carbs a day. This is hard! My sugar cravings are BIG and I never have a sweet tooth. I'm glad I decided to only do this a week--I dont think I could do it much longer.
Sad to say that this morning I still weighed in at 173 lbs, but I was ONE ounce away from 172...that makes me kinda frustrated, but hopefully tomorrow Ill be down to 172 lbs, who knows. I probably wont do a low carb week again if it doesn't help me lose weight a little faster. The suffering of not being able to eat a sandwich is just too much!
