186.8, but I know why. Dinner at the in laws yesterday, we were told they were making something that I could have with the way I'm eating right now but they changed it last minute to something very NOT atkins friendly.
I made the smartest choices I could, stayed away from corn, mashed potatoes, didn't have any of the cookie dough ice cream cake. I tend to retain water if I go off plan so here I am, up half a lb I expect to see it drop during the week though so it's okay.
AshNStuff, I'm excited to hit 174 as well and not be 'obese' anymore
187 today, I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I know I've stayed on plan, my muscles are sore from playing on the kinect still from Sunday so I might be retaining water from the work out. I'm also STILL waiting for my first TOM after having this baby. I don't know how many times I can say I'm desperate to get it over with. I'm bloated, broken out, cranky, and dreaming about bad food even though I don't want to eat badly.
It's been, like, three weeks and I'm just hovering around 188. I feel like maybe I've become complacent. What to you do when you're in a rut?? I'll be honest, I'm not working out as much as I should nor eating as healthy as I had been. I need to get back on track but I feel my motivation deflating.
shellofself: Don't let yourself down! You have to keep going...you've come so far already! I know it's hard, and lately I've been feeling a little discouraged because my loss has slowed and I know I won't make my goal on the date that I set it to. However, I'm just gonna keep doing it no matter what. I just feel like I have to, you know?
Maybe if you just ease yourself back into your routine the pounds will start to drop again. If not, then it may be a plateau...but there are ways to help with that, too. Good luck!
I weighed myself this morning with my clothes off (I say that because I very recently started doing it. For some reason I didn't think my clothes weighed that much :/) and the scale said 179.8! Ohh I'm so happy, but I'm not going to get all gung-ho just yet because it's still so close to the 180 mark. I'll let you guys know!
I've hesistated on joining this thread full speed because I was still so close to 190. As of tjismorning i'm 186.2 and feeling far enough in the 180s to really join!
I got down to 185 in October, fell asleep for a few months ha and woke up after Christmas at 194, got down to 186 start of feb, I've been bouncing from 186-8 for weeks its so close to the 190s its like my body is dragging me back up, its v frustrating when your body gets used to the healthy lifestyle >:0
And I guess someone might think well for me I'm properly in the 180s, but I don't feel it, I feel 190 something, I've been that weight for so long its hard to mentally let myself deserve not to sabotage myself.
I once I get to 184 I feel like I have beat this mental/body block and then once I'm in the 170s I will really feel like I'm on my way just no more bouncing about!
I expect to see it drop during the week though so it's okay.
I'm so excited to be in the 170's again.
