I am excited to join you ladies here!! Envelope - we keep passing each other. You are doing great!
I am at 188.8 as of this morning. I feel great, but can't wait until that says 178!! I think I will faint! At the rate I lost the last 10lbs, it will probably be about 4 to 5 weeks from now. WOW! I am so motivated to keep going.
I have been riding a whoosh these last few days! I hit 185.6 this morning after being 188 just 2 days ago. I'm afraid I will get on the scale tomorrow and see it back (I get a little bump up sometimes after a whoosh), but wowzers!
I am just getting the idea that my weight is 180 something and now I am about to break into the bottom of the 180s. My driver's license has said 170 for a while now. I may weigh less than that soon! OMFG!
Okay, I am reading my post above and whining. It was exciting to whoosh, but 185 is getting old!! It's been a day more than a week and I am stuck. I know it's because I had such a quick loss and I know that it will get going again but geez! C'mon already. I am still eating really well and exercising and doing everything right, so I know it will come soon but the waiting is so hard!
Here's to reading this thread a week from now and being DOWN!
UGH!!! Okay, 185 you can leave any time now! I am getting so tired of seeing this number!
I saw 184.6 Saturday morning and then went right back to 185 Sunday morning. Grr!
I know TOM is coming and I did a killer leg workout last night but I've eaten really well. I probably have lost weight that will show after TOM and I am sure this is the inevitable slow down that comes after very quick weight loss (27lbs in 8 weeks) but still - I am doing everything right. Come on Scale!!! Move already!
Hello! I've just found 3 Fat Chicks... not sure where to post! I think I'll just stick to here for now if that's allowed? I'm weighing in at 189 pounds :-/. I've been yoyoing my way to this weight - I think it's the heaviest I've ever been. I was on anti-depressants over Christmas and put on 12 pounds in about 2 months. I'm off them now (was dealing with some yucky stuff) and am ready to shift this weight! I am hoping to find my lost motivation somewhere on this site!
Welcome to time4myself! I'm sorry that your introduction to 3FC is my whining about my plateau!
I do have good news for today. 184 came back and this time I am taking it! I drank as much water as I could yesterday and did a great workout. I am so glad to see the movement! I will NOT whine that it was only 1lb. I will appreciate that lb and encourage it to invite its friends.
LOL BeachBreeze - I'm sure I'll be doing my own share of whinging so I'm not worried!
I lasted all day yesterday without having any junk! I haven't done that for weeks (I have a habit of doing great for breakfast then falling off the wagon by 9 am lol). I have a slight headache this morning from the sugar withdrawals but nothing I can't handle. Very proud of myself!
Just did a grocery shop and didn't buy any junk food for my secret stash :-). That was hard, let me tell you! The "worst" I bought was some yoghurt and some Special K museli bars.
Small victories are what get us where we want to go in the long run - great job time4myself!
I think I am officially wooshing because I was down another lb this morning to 183.4. I am getting closer and closer to the 170s! I tried on a skirt I had been saving to wear until I got to 180 (feeling ambitious) this morning and realized it was too big! That was bittersweet - mostly sweet!
WTG Beachbreeze! LOL at your moment being bittersweet. You are doing great!
I woke up this morning with a migraine :-(. I do get hormonal headaches but I'm not sure if this was that or because of my weaning off the sugar. Maybe both. My weigh in day is tomorrow but I'm not sure if I should count it because i didn't eat much of anything today.
I'm determined to make it without giving up this time, so I apologise for posting my accomplishments every day... even though there only seem to be 2 of us active here right now lol.
Went shopping this morning because I forgot butter the other day lol. I had to get shampoo as well. Standing in line to pay for it and there was a bin there with almost out of date chocolate for $2 each (Lindt, reduced from $23!). I picked it up and read what ones were in there, with every intention of taking advantage of the fantastic saving... then remembered I'm being strong now and put them straight back down and didn't think of them again! Last week I would have bought out the bin lol.
Time4Myself - do you keep a food journal? I think they are a good idea anyway, but especially if you are prone to migraines. A lot of people find that they are related to what they eat. I would add migraine to your notes section so that you can keep tabs on that - TOM, too. I'm sure you know how they fit together.
Great job on passing up the discount chocolate! Not that it always works - but I try to tell myself that food (and the money that it costs) is wasted whether I eat it or not. In other words, eating food beyond what's good for me is just as wasteful as throwing it away - worse really. It gets me over the guilt of the money I spent on it. But, not spending the money in the first place is even better - you "saved" the $2!
Don't apologize for posting!! Never! Sometimes when I post into a slow room, that I am keeping a blog - that's okay. It's helpful just to be able to write out what you're thinking. I am sure people see what I write sometimes and think "Oh goodness, here's another novel by BeachBreeze." What can I say, I am a Gemini. I like to talk and think.
As far as taking the weight - go for it. Personally, I don't count a lb as official until it gets to .6, for example 182.8 is still 183 to me but 182.6 - I will run with that and announce to everyone who has the patience to read my ramblings. (Like today - I hit 182.6! YAY!!) We all come up with our own "rules" that make sense to us.
