I've decided to stop weighing myself everyday. I feel like gaining even a little is really getting me down. I also adjusted my goal weight to about 10lbs lower. 140 is just below the overweight range. I feel like if I can get down to 130 I'll be at my healthiest. This makes my journey a little longer, but it'll be worth it in the end
Same here, Kelli. 148 is just at normal BMI for me, so once I get there, I'm sure I'll want to drop a few more so that I have a little wiggle room. Losing weight can be slightly addicting.
Madison - It's VERY addicting! Lol. I think my biggest deciding factor will be how I look at 140. I definitely agree with the wiggle room though. It would be nice to be solidly in the "normal" range.
Finally took some progress pictures! I've been having some really bad image problems lately, but taking those pictures and comparing them to pictures from last year has given me a huge burst of confidence. I put them up in the photo section
Kelli-For a long time I couldn't weigh daily. I would obsess over the number on the scale and not talk about anything else. I got depressed and drove all my friends crazy. I'm in a better place now, so the daily weigh-ins aren't bothering me anymore. You just have to do what's right for you. :-)
I definitely obsess over the number. I weighed myself again today and haven't lost anything since the 29th. But my hips and waist dropped an inch! I might just hide the scale and go by measurements. It was such a let down to see the same number even though I know I'm thinner.
Kelli - Way to go on the inch! That's really the more important thing, I think. :-) Maybe try only weighing once a week or something? Or just go by the measurements and don't weigh at all for a while.
This morning I am back to 163.1. I'm bouncing in a pattern: 163.1, 164.2, 163.1, 162.9, 163.1, etc. Hopefully I bounce back down this time and stay there! I ran (jogged really) 2.5 miles on the treadmill yesterday before I had to pause to walk a little bit! Getting there. :-)
Down to 165.6 from 166.2 yesterday after cheat day. I'm staying OP til my anniversary on April 21st. I am sick of the stupid 160s & I'm ready to be in the 150s. Doing round 2 of the shred to keep building muscle. Move, scale, move!!
165.3 today...again. But, totally ok with that. Was out of town over the weekend and didn't eat very well. Lots of salty foods. Started my boot camp class today and it kicked my butt. Got a new heart rate monitor and I burned 438 calories in 45 minutes. So, I'll probably hit another plataeu, but I'm working my buns off. Literally.
Hey ladies!
I'm running late today so no personals, just an update.
Official WI is 162.4!! I've pretty much lost 10lbs in a month just by altering my diet...but I definitely need to start working out: my body doesn't look that much different so I may have lost more muscle than fat :-S
Anyways, have a good OP week girls and I'll be back soon to get to personals!
I am back to 163.4 this morning. Lowest I've seen is still 162.9, but have been up the last couple of days. I'm hoping that once I get through this weekend things will head back in the right direction. I, too, am sick of the 160's.
So sad- I haven't been on here in awhile and I worked out a lot this last week. Well I made the istake of notweighing myself until yesterday. I'm at 178.6 - I have even farther to go now, but I am so thankful I'm not in the 180s- just more motivation for this week I Suppose!
