Well I only lost 0.4 lbs this whole week. Definitely bummed. I did eat a little bit more, but nothing too crazy. Ohh well- hopefully next week will be better.

Happy early bday LeilaJey!

Congrats on everyone's losses. Only lost .8 since last time. I am at 156.0. One ounce away from per-baby weight. ONE OUNCE! really body? Do you need to hold onto that one ounce haha. Tomorrow :)

leilajey Its Officially Your Birthday!!!!!! :hat: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope your weigh-in went well. And I hope you absolutely get spoiled today!!!! :) It's your day honey!! Enjoy it!!


cierranevada
That ounce will be off tomorrow baby!!! And you'll be at pre-baby weight!! good job!!!! :) :carrot:





After all, the handful of chips didn't hurt me.

I weighed in at 153.2 this morning, maybe i'll see the 152 tomorrow, this is getting so surreal, I wore a cute outfit today, a coral colored dress shirt tucked in a high waisted black pencil skirt and got so many compliments, my mom actually squealed! LOL

I know this is going to sound really bad, but for once in my life, I am so proud that I'm not the fat one in the room. (Which was one of my biggest problems, I used to get crushed when I saw I was...)

I got a nice mani/pedi to reward myself for the 155. Now I'm getting a haircut on Thursday, I guess a pre-gift for the 150...unless I magically make it there by Thursday. :lol:

Although at the reception today I had a brownie lol but I didn't do bad on my calories at all!! I'm so proud of myself, and I also drank about a ton of water lol

I'm gonna go bike riding all week to try and make it!!



Hope you Americans enjoy your day off tomorrow xo :hug:

Yaaaaay :) :) thanks ladies! I was 153.2 today, I was so happy.. that's my lowest weight so far. I should be able to stay on plan today as I'm not celebrating today. I partied at the weekend and next weekend I'll be going home and doing some more of that (I know at least 2 people are making me cakes haha)

Unfortunately my boyfriend's sick :( he has a fever and I was taking care of him last night and might be doing the same today. He's still asleep but he didn't look better today. I don't mind that I more mind that I'll also have to do the cleaning that was left.. bleh. Oh well, at least it's still sunny.

I didn't actually get my eyelashes tinted the other day, so I'll do it this week.

Samantha Don't be discouraged! You're still losing and that's the important thing :) have a great week.

cierranevada you're sooo close! Well done, I hope you get there today :)

caramelkitty ahh we're the same weight again! you seem to be losing lightning fast though (I saw your daily weigh in post).. what are you doing if you don't mind me asking? You're doing awesome anyway!

Enjoy your mani/pedi :) you deserve it!

Any situation I've been in with other people lately I've been the biggest one still.. ack. At the weekend I stayed with friends (2 sisters) who are both model thin. Their frames are tiny too so I felt bigger than ever when I was there. And then I spyed their junk food cupboard! Nooo fair. I can't have a cupboard like that, I'd eat it all hah :D

Awww I'm so sorry your bf is sick... men turn into such babies when they dont feel good lol But he has a good woman to take care of him, so he'll be fine :) Just make sure he drinks water to keep hydrated!

I can't wait to see your tinted eyelashes!!!

I'm at 153.2 again this morning, I guess the brownie didn't help ahahaha but then I can't lose everyday.

I had hit a massive plateau for the last couple months, I had stopped "trying" so hard and stayed around 167-172 for the last 7 months, so what I did was just start being very strict with my carb intake (which i keep to a bare minimum) and I basically live on water and salads. I also started taking caffeine supplements to boost my workouts, and that seems to help. (I hate coffee haha)

I know exactly what you mean about the cupboards... I have a twin brother and I went to his place last night, he's always been the "skinny" twin, so he never weighed more than 170.... and his cupboard is FULLLLL of good stuff, like chips, chocolate, candy, cookies, and he never eats any of them.. it's funny because that in my house would last about 3 hours. hahahaha :lol:

But it's okay, one day at a time!! :)

I can't wait for us all to get to goal, and then we get to post sexy pics of ourselves. LOL

Here's a pic of me and my fiance and my puppy Milo yesterday.
To be very honest, I am just very photogenic and have learned the perfect angles to get pics taken of so I don't look humongous. But look how small my waist is getting!!

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...22365284_n.jpg

I've been filling him full of water all day :) he's sleeping now and has been for a few hours so that's good. Ahh yes, the phenomenon of the manflu as it's known. I hear it's terrible, much worse than child birth or any of those girly things ;)

I know how do people keep stuff like that in their house? I think part of the reason I gained so much weight this year is because I would buy a multipack of Twix bars (uhh... to save money?) or get a box of biscuits as a present and then I'd eat them all really fast so that I could be healthy the next day haha, that doesn't make any sense. Then I'd only crave more so I'd keep doing this. I hope someday I'll be able to control myself and have some stuff like that in the house.. if there was cake in the cupboards now it would be all I could think about.

haha, **** yeah, I hope I end up hot.. I sometimes worry that I'll be strange looking after losing weight. I think that's the fat girl inside me who wants to fill the cupboards with cakes thinking that though.

You guys are super cute! And your puppy, total aww factor. Well whatever if it's angles etc but you look awesome, you have a perfect hourglass shape. Your waist is really small! Mine looks small but I'm totally sucking it in, I'm the master of that. I'm also the poster girl for pear shapes!

GIRL I SWEAR TO GOD YOU CRACK ME UP!!! lololol I hope you have a great day today, you surely deserve it!! :) xoxo

Well with all you ladies' encouragement I made it to pre-freaking baby weight!!!!!! 155.4! None of my skinny pre-baby clothes even fit. Kinda sad but happy at the same time. I loved my american eagle jeans but guess I will just have to see what I have been missing in the fashion world for the past three years.....yes three years. Well officially 20 more to go before my goal weight. That 135 is flexible though because I want to have some muscle mass too.

Congrats on your ladies' weight loss. Even an ounce is a loss :) I definitely second or third the fact that any sweets would be gone (my excuse to have my son eat healthy).

Caramel Kitty you look amazing. We are the exact same height and I don't think I look anything like that haha. I would be totally happy right now if I looked like that. Crazy how different everyone's bodies are even at approximately the same height/weight.

Good luck this week!

caramelkitty Thanks lady xx :)

cierranevada Kickass! Congratulations, you're doing awesome. That must be a great feeling.

I know how you feel too, I look at mybodygallery sometimes and I think 'oh crap, I don't look like that'.. maybe they're just good pictures, I guess I have no idea how much those girls are sucking it in. Sometimes I worry that I have tiny bones and I'll have to lose more weight than I think haha, I don't think I really do though as I can feel 'em and they don't feel too small. But they're not so big that I can just say that I'm big boned either.

153 this morning but pre (TMI) #2 haha

Also I just took some measurements there and wrote them down and it's the first time I've done that since I started. I didn't measure everything but here's some comparisons:

22nd February
bellybutton: 39"
lower belly: 43"
underbust: 33"
hips: 44"
thigh: 26"

People always tell me I have a small waist but I was letting it all hang out (way out) for measuring both times. Maybe it just looks small beside my huge ***.

Aaand today
bellybutton: 34.5"
lower belly: 37"
hips: 40"
thigh: 24.5"

bellybutton: -4.5"
lower belly: -6"
hips: -4"
thighs: -1.5" (judging from clothes I thought I lost more but it's possible I measured myself wrong on this the first time as I did that with another measurement)

Total: 16"

I don't think that's very much to be honest but I think I'm losing inches faster now, I dunno. And as I said I think I did my measurements wrong (denial) the first time. Ahem.. I'll be here a while hah

Have a great day ladies! I cannot wait to be in the 140s.. here's hoping for a whooooosh!

I didn't measure the smallest part of my waist for some reason.. ah well, next time.

CierraNevada YAY GIRL!!!! SEEE YOU CAN DO IT!!! And honestly our body compositions change throughout the years, so it's normal for your clothes not to be perfect yet, but then again, a good old shopping trip never hurt anyone hehehee :) go spoil yourself hun!! you deserve it!

LeilaJey Dude!!! 16" and 23lb is a freaking amazing accomplishment!!!

I take my measurements every 20lb ... just to get a clear idea. I did them last time and since I started last year, from 220 to 155 I had lost around 45 inches. I was like daaaaaaaaaaaang ~!!! LOL

We're all so close to the 140s!! Can't wait to peak thru to the beautiful land of the 140s lol... Again, as if we'll get superpowers or something.

It's just that 149 for me is my "normal" threshold, so I'm excited to see that for real.

My scale did something weird this morning.... I stepped on. And it stalled at 149.8 for like 3 seconds.... then went up to 153.2 (yesterdays weight) then stopped at 152.8 ...... I was like nooooooooooooooooo go back to the 149!!!!!! LOL

Pretty impossible for it to be, but it would've made me faint. LOL I went for a bike ride this morning, I guess it'll be my new routine, so at the same time I get to enjoy my summer evenings, and my workout is done for the day. I can't wait to get to my ticker goal of 145 so I can change it to 135 LOL When I had started last year, my original goal was 135, then I changed it to 165, then 155, now 145, and soon 135~ LOL I'm cheating myself hahahaha

Have a great Tuesday everyone!! It's Friday in 3 days!

If I don't get super powers when I enter the 140s I'm not gonna be happy. I am in no way setting myself up for failure there haha.. I think I feel like that too, I imagine I'll suddenly be much smaller.. I cannot wait.

My scale keeps doing crap like that too, ahh it's so annoying.. I have a digital Weight Watchers scale.. what do you have? It went from 152.2 to 153.8 to 153 and then I did it a few times and it still stayed at 153 so I assume that's it. What's causing that? Low batteries? I'd like it better if it said it was really high and then drops down.. not the other way. Grrr.

I've had the laziest day today.. oh god.. I did some stuff in the morning I had to do and drove my boyfriend places he needed to be then I came home with the intention of showering and running some errands and I literally just sat in front of the computer for hours. I did eventually shower you'll be glad to hear. I've just eaten dinner and I haven't done any exercise.. I'm really tired though, I couldn't sleep last night and had to get up early for a package. I woke up and thought I'll put clothes on and go back to sleep until I hear the door and pretend to be wide awake but I couldn't sleep any more so I greeted him like a zombie.. yay

I feel guilty about not exercising but I don't think I'm going to magically have more energy later. Tomorrow's a new day!

Glad you're enjoying cycling :) and you're soo close to your goal.. even if you're changing it that must feel amazing! I think when I get to 140 I'm going to lower it 5lbs everytime because I'm worried about picking a low number and having too much difficulty getting to it and then feeling bad. Well I'll see when I get there.

Hahaha okay good so it's settled, the 140s is a magical place. lol I just assume I'll exude confidence when I get there.

I have a Taylor digital scale with body fat and blablabla percentage lol I got it at costco for 25$ just because I got fed up of my old one. Now i weigh on both, twice a day. Obsesed much? :lol:

I'm glad you showered, LOL I actually giggled when I read that, but sometimes it's okay to have lazy days. God knows we all need them once in a while. Don't feel guilty about not exercising, okay okay, it's much easier said than done because if I don't I actually contemplate not eating LOL I'm not normal, but it's good and either way you'll get right back on it the next day.... or else *shakes fist at screen* :lol:

I know what you mean about choosing a number that's too low... that's why I aimed for attainable numbers, then I'll extend my trip down skinny lane as far as I feel like it lol

I went to a Portuguese restaurant for dinner tonight with my fiancé and he got the half chicken with fries and salad. Their fries are not really fries, they`re thin potato slices fried. LOL They taste so good though, so I took 3. Just to say I had the taste. I also had a piece of bread with butter, no bueno, but better than binging...and I had a chicken salad, just lettuce and onion, no dressing, and the chicken was grilled on charcoal with no oil. A.MA.ZING!!!!

Oh and we also got the pasteis de natas (amazing little pastry cups filled with custard -- simply to die for) and I looked up the calorie of it while I took a bite. And totally spit it out. LOOOOOOOOOLLL It`s like 363 calories for one pastry, so I didn`t even wanna consider how much my bite was. I just got the taste and spit it out and my fiancé gave me the DIRTIEST LOOK. He`s like "You're definitely out of your mind."

Oh well, I'll be a crazy person. A very pretty 152.8lb crazy lady. LOL

I'm sure it will give us more confidence, not that we'll magically look way thinner (damn) but because it's a mental thing. I'm excited anyway, 152.2 this morning :)

My scale cost the same but it doesn't give me any % or anything just my weight but I can choose pounds, stones or kilos. Sometimes I look at my weight in all three haha.. I grew up thinking about my weight in stones so 140 is exactly 10 and there's 14lbs to a stone so when I weigh myself now I'm 10-13lbs. It's really nice to not see 11 anymore, so that was a bit of a breakthrough for me!

I did a 15 minute walk in the end and got bitten by insects haha, I live down a private lane and it takes 2 minutes to walk up it so I walked up and down like a crazy person for a while. Luckily nobody else lives down it. I'd walk on the road but I like to listen to my ipod and I can't on the little road because I don't hear cars coming then and the roads are tiny. A few times I nearly walked in front of them when I was listening to music. I swear I think I have a car magnet attached to myself :D

Portugese sounds amazing! Glad you enjoyed yourself and salads are really great. It's also great that you can just have a taste of your fiance's fries.

Holy crap, how big are those pastries???? My friend was trying to be healthy once and picked up some cookies from the health food shop. They had dark chocolate and coconut in them and she would eat them when she was craving chocolate.. then she looked at the calories and it was 250 for 1!! She nearly had a heart attack.

I googled those pastries you mentioned and they look gooooood. I don't know how you spit it out, I think you have super powers already.

Ok I'm gonna goo and hopefully get my eyelashes done and pick up some other stuff :) have an awesome day!

To be completely honest, it's only once I hit 155 that I noticed I started getting much smaller and people started noticing too. But to me, that only lasts about 2 weeks then I feel fat gain. lol

Congrats on your 152.2 !!! You're so close!!! :carrot:

I'm trailing behind at 152.6 today, but it's still a loss. :) Any loss is better than none.

I too like to weigh myself in all the different types of weight, I do kilos because it's just so small compared to pounds LOL

Stones are always fun to measure in because it adds that certain mysteriousness when you don't know what it is. LOL I was like ouuuhhhh what does that mean?! *(as if i didnt know what i weighed lol)

Congrats on getting out of the 11 stones hehehehe :)

Lmao you walking on the roads reminds me of me biking on ours, theres a nice little path by the water but the bikes and cars share the road and i often find myself panicking and going towards the road while cars are behind me LOL Stupid I know, but It scares me hahaha

Yeah those pastries, are the devil. LOL There;s still one sitting in my fridge because I obviously didn't eat mine at the restaurant, and I can't help but remember when I worked at a certain office and people would bring them in.. I'd have 2.... That's 700 calories wasted, so fast, so easily, and I didn't know why I gained weight. It all makes sense now, that and donuts. Oh gosh. Office people are the reason I got fat. lol

HAVE FUN GETTING YOUR EYELASHES TINTED!! i wanna seeee :) im gonna go take my mom to a sale today, its all house and body products and she loves that stuff, so that's my day off. lol :)

Have a great day LeilaJey and everyone else who has seem to go quiet :( I miss you all lol
