I think I scared my fiance when I ran out of the bathroom naked and jumped on him hugging him, haha.
I have been doing weight lifting lately to tone up my arms, so I suspect the weight will drop slower as I build muscle. It's nice, before it was mostly cardio to lose weight, now I see things I want to work on, and I see results in those areas! I must be flushing out the water now as TOM is slowing down and I'm over 2 pounds from yesterday.
I'm going to stay here until I'm at least 168 though I could just as easily go back with all these fluctations.
Awesome, dranaeli and StephanieM! Hopefully I will follow right behind you guys. That drinking more water thing is really helping -- I'm down to 172.1 today! Woot!
Thanks, Steph, fivestone and everyone! I haven't weighed myself since my last post - I need to stop doing it everyday b/c It just gets me upset. Instead I need to focus on how I feel and how I've treated my body, and weigh maybe 3 times per week tops. And today I'm feeling a little...bloated. I feel like I've been a little off with my food choices these past two days, but I've sticked with my workouts which is great progress for me!
I do not count calories, but I keep an eye out and have a general idea of what I'm eating. I couldnt tell you my total calorie count for the day though, but I'm not really sure how much I should be eating right now. Ok, off in search of a thread on calories..
You'll get there eventually, I do suggest counting all calories, or even doing a mental tally before meals so you know what your eating. I find it difficult when I purchase pre made food or go to resteraunts because they don't have the nutritional information.
I've been working out 4 days a week and that's the thing that is really making the differance for me. I weighed in today at 168.4 :3 I think it's my after period bloat coming off.
I'm really happy with my progress... can't believe I'm almost to the 160s! Maybe it sounds crazy, but I feel like I'm starting to get a little obsessed. But it's a lot easier to stay OP... whenever I feel tempted, I just remember how well the number's moving down on the scale and how much it means to me to reach my goal. At this rate, I will be able to reach my goal by October/November. Maybe that's kinda ambitious but I'm determined to do whatever it takes! Tomorrow will mark 1 month since I started, and already I'm minus 15 pounds. Just hope I don't lose my motivation when the loss inevitably gets slower!
I'm back in the 170's today I'm just so tired, I work weekends now and I couldn't work out yesterday, and I won't be working out today because I haven't been getting enough sleep.
Oh well, I'll get back down there. The more you lose the harder it is the keep it off! I flucate up and down quite often as well.
Great job on getting into the 160's Dhani
Fivestone, that's great progress! It keeps me motivated to see the scale move down, I know it will be a struggle to keep it down to, but all that hard work goes to something!
Alright three consecutive days solid in the 170's. I am 178.8 today, so a perfect time to get this underway. I am looking forward to 16.....something on the scale. Here we go!
I've been at 174-175 for the last few days. Official weigh-in today was 174.6. I expect it to go up a bit because TOM should be here any day now. But I'm glad to finally be in the low 170s!!
I think I finally have the courage to take some pictures for the mini goals forum as it has been over 25 pounds now. I looked at my before pictures I took and I am shocked at my size, but at the time it seemed normal.
I could just as easily go back with all these fluctations.
