That's awesomemhill! Good luck!! You could use that money to buy yourself a new wardrobe!! :)
So, I tracked my weight into my weight tracker on WeightWatchers & the little message box popped up saying that I am losing too much weight too fast! & Suggested that I SLOW my weight loss! UMMM NO! Way to kick me when I'm finally feeling good! LOL. |
Yikes! Went up 0.7 lbs this week:mad: hard week and didn't deal well with stress!!

CLEVERNAME - Hope you are a little more rested now :) Good to see the scale still moving in the right direction for you again this week :)
ALICIA - Another consistent loss, good work. As for WW comment, its because in an ideal weight loss regime its supposed to be 1-3 pounds a week or something to allow your body to adjust .. I figure if its going the body didnt really want it there anyway and is just as eager to see it go lol. Just make sure you are doing it safely :) Nice to see those double figures too :) ISLES - Not that bad this week .. chances are you have already lost it :) You are still doing great :) ONLY BELIEVE - Hey hun, considering how fast you have been flying down the scale your body is just having a rest this week :) Look at how much has gone already :) MARA - Another nice loss for you this week, well done :) Hope you are having a good week again. MHILL - Welcome back :) Great idea for the challenge .. and LOVE the incentive at the end of it .. oooh I see a shopping trip in your future :) STARFISH - No stressing .. its in the red but hey it could be worse :) Keeping positive for you :) Looks like its been a hard week for a few of us, but thats the joy of the journey really, there will be ups and downs for all of us. Stress is such a big trigger for a lot of us .. boredom is a trigger for me .. or anger lol .. stress tends to have the effect of where I lose all interest in food (which is also not good for the journey). I hope we can all have an easier week this week .. and dont forget sometimes sharing the stress with a stranger can help give a different perspective to an issue that those close to it cant see or express. Hugs all :) |
By Christmas lets say 230
Wk1 26/08/13 259.5 Wk2 02/09/13 Wk3 09/09/13 Wk4 16/09/13 Wk5 23/09/13 (25/09) 248.25 Wk6 30/09/13 Wk7 Wk8 Wk9 Wk10 Wk11 Wk12 Wk13 Wk14 Wk15 Wk16 Wk17 Sorry been rubbish at updating this month, September is always crazy with kids back to school!! Homework Bleh! Doesn't help that term time is over and I'm back at work! I do my measurements every 3rd Tuesday so next ones are up next Tuesday so I'll put up my last and present when I do it. Was down 19.25 inchs in total but that was 10 September and before that it was 19.5 . Don't think it will anything great this time as I was exercising like a crazy person and wrecked my legs so all I've been doing past few days is walking. Hopefully get started back into running again at end of week! |
I am in!!! After a horrible Holiday season for 2012 I was inspired to lose and do things for me! Now 73lbs down and 32 to go I hope to reach this by Christmas. Hubby and I spending the holidays in Vegas this year!!

Also if you want you can join in the measurement chart as well :) We do it on the first weekend/week of the month (so due again next week) .. just need bust, waist, hips, upper arm & leg in inches preferred :) Its a great alternative measurement to use on this journey .. in case the scales decide to keep you on a rollercoaster of emotion to have something else to watch. Annnnd ... if you wanted to you could post a before and after ... or during lol .. I have already done that .. Im the only one lol .. but its interesting to see what others think cos until I posted my second lot of pics I didnt really notice the changes.. even when I looked at the two next to each other before I posted lol .. so that too can be a positive tool on the journey :) MUSES! Welcome back! Sad you havent been round, but understandable and wahoo ... great loss in the month over 11 pounds!! Have slipped you back onto the chart and updated it ready for posting this weekend .. just waiting to see if anyone else posts. Looking forward to you joining the measurement chart too, its great to have another join the rest of us :) :dizzy::o:^::carrot::hug: Been a bad week for me .. foodwise and posting lol .. had a little bad news on Wednesday and it put me into a funk .. now Im sure most people would binge .. but that is not why I had a bad food couple of days .. Im the opposite ... I stopped eating really. I had a small bag of popcorn on Wednesday ... still felt fine though, just had no interest in food and only ate that cos I knew I had to have something and it was quick and light. Yesterday my hunny came and picked me up after work and took me out for dinner to cheer me up, I still didnt eat a lot but I am interested again .. went to a new Thai restaurant .. I had a few mini vege spring rolls, and some steamed chicken & veg ... I had a bunch of rice on my plate but I only had a couple of mouthfuls .. but there was a lovely clear soup in a small bowl which I put my chicken & veg in and had .. very nice ... Im still not uber-interested in food, but Im getting out of the funk now and processing it all. On a positive .. I have finally bought my wedding dress lol .. Im not sending my measurements through until I get them done professionally (now that I have a list of all the measurements they want) .. but I might use those measurements and this months update even though they are prob going to get done on Saturday lol. The only thing I still have to think about is the colour .. Im still leaning towards Champagne .. but I also like this gorgeous peacock blue .. and a soft lilac ... and a red .. eeeek! At least I have a week or two to decide on that lol. Also got the wording for my invitations finally done and we have agreed on a font too (grr .. almost the same as the original one I had put in lol) ... so will get the inner printed up today or tomorrow and start putting them together ready to post next week :) So if any of you want to plan a holiday in NZ in December let me know and I will fly one over to you :) So how is everyone elses week going?? Have any of you had any issues or challenges that you have faced and overcome .. or need help to view with another perspective? Dont be shy .. BABBLE!! Its very therapeutic lol .. :hug: |
Omg, this has been the worst week. We hadn't had hardly any money this week and my husband went to a different company to work and the previous one decided to hold 1500 dollars that we were expecting, they made a huge hassle to get it, we finally got paid but I was so stressed out I binged really really bad, pepperoni, banana, chocolate, whipped cream, steak, chicken, bread and butter, French fries, tea chocolate milk, you name it. All one right after the other. I felt tremendous guilt after, then this morning I was up 1.2lbs. Not bad really but I felt like garbage emotionally. So I knew I should pick up and do better today, but I ended up skipping the gym, eating like 3 people and I'm still in my slump. Pity party for 1. Then I do try to look nice everyday, I know I'm heavy but I do my makeup, my hair, I dress well, so I feel more confident but no matter what I do I am still the same when it all comes off and I'm so tired, I have been at this for nearly two months and I have a long way but I don't know if I will make it, no-one sees a change in me after 25lbs, I see a little in my before and afters3 but not in the mirror, my husband is gorgeous and I am so physically attracted to him and he is a sweetheart, he is patient, and kind and never says anything to make me feel unattractive, yet I feel that I don't have the power to make him swoon over me anymore I hate that. I miss the way that used to feel and I can't decide if it's like this because I'm overweight or if this is just his normal. I can't help but feel that if I were smaller so many problems would be solved but the truth is the same problems would exist but I'd be healthier and feel better about myself, maybe it's too vain, shallow, self centered thinking but this consumes most of my days lately. I'm just being a pissy pants and I'll be fine soon but I just wish I could go on a vacation alone and erase all of this from my head.
There, I babbled. |
CHEERILOOS - Hey hun ... good on you for venting. And boy do I know what you are talking about ... I dont feel good about how I look, so how can my hunny still think the same he did when we first met!? I am still about 50+ pounds more than when we met ... what on earth can he see in me when I look so different and I dont feel good about how I look or feel?
I have been on this journey off and on for YEARS! My hunny did point out to me that I have been dieting for over half the time we have been together! He is right .. I have ... when I quit smoking (cos he hated it) before our first real date I started putting on the beef .. and fat lol .. and whenever things went wrong in my life I just added more on. This time round I am focusing on me first .. I have found on this journey that if I think of how others see me then I will always be body dismorphic (spelling wrong I think lol) ... I wont see what I really look like ... I wont accept that its who I am AT THIS TIME .... I have to be hard on myself .. but judge my actions .. not me. Just thinking about your darling .. how long have you been together? Could it be more a case of he still thinks of you as the goddess in his life .. but its a more mature attraction .. rather than a budding younger man one? I know my hunny and I were probably a lot more .. ummm .. anyway ... humm .. trying not to blush right about now lol .. when we first met .. and I admit I do ask him quite often if he still finds me as attractive as when we met ... he always says yes .. and occasionally he says more. And frankly .. I still dont understand why ... but Im learning to accept it at face value and not questioning it so much. I know he loves me .. and I love him to bits .. and I find him attractive and cute ... but I look at him differently after 12 years .. its not less or more .. but its deeper, a little different and happily us :) Sorry to hear you have had such a downer week ... Ive had a lot of those .. and admittedly it has made me quit a few of these challenges ... has made me give up on myself .. not just for a few days or weeks .. but MONTHS at a time ... its that vicious cycle of wanting to feel better .. finding that in food .. then feeling guilt .. then wanting to feel better ... and the cycle goes over and over until again you wake up determined to make it right ... by which time whatever weight you lost has come on back and bought a few friends with it too. I cant tell you it will be better .. and you can beat this .. only you can come to that point. But I can tell you that you have been doing incredible things over the last weeks of this challenge .. and whether you see a difference in your size .. or others do .. you must be able to see that something has changed .. within you .. on the scales etc .. I know when I posted my second lot of pics I had sat looking at them for a while before I posted them and couldnt see any difference. It wasnt until I posted them and had a couple of comments pointing out the differences that I started noticing them .. maybe you could let us do the same for you? I hope that you choose not to give up on yourself .. even for the short term .. but your choices have to be right for you .. it was never going to be an easy journey or path .. it never is .. but then how many things that have come easily have really been appreciated? At this time Im in a good place .. but I have off days (as I did earlier in the week) .. but I dont really binge .. I tend to stop eating .. which is just as bad because when I start eating again I feel like heck for a few days .. BIG VIRTUAL HUGS coming your way .. and thank you so much for sharing how you are feeling with us .. hopefully others will see something of themselves in what you are going through at the moment and will have some thoughts that could help you too. |
Cheerilos.. Things will get better.. Its also just scary when life changes (your DH job).. But things will get better. Tell yourself that and don't let the food be the answer... You are the answer :) Hug yourself and tell yourself that you are a strong and powerful person and you are in charge!. Shoot.. I have lost 66 lbs and my parents see NO difference.. So I don't let that bother me anymore.. cause I see a difference and that is the most important thing! You see it too... I know you do! :) HUGS
NightKatt., I have thought about you so much from when I read your post a few days ago... I hope your daughter is doing well and that the baby is ok? I sure do hope so! I have prayed for that little one.. I had a major mind blower this week.. My scale that I have been using for 17 years was off by 14 lbs.. and I almost fell on the floor (its the bad direction).. So I have to lose the same # on the scale lbs again... again... and my starting weight was higher than I thought. But after 2 days of Anguish.. I am back on track and losing again. and DETERMINED!. Amazing the road blocks in our way and if you power thru.... you will reach your goal!! Have a great day and HUGS to you NIGHTKATT!!!!! |
Had my surgery yesterday, it went ok was not prepared for the pain following. Had two incisions made, one in my belly button to tie my tubes which doesn't hurt all that much. And the other one e was made just below where I had a c section for my twins; bikini area and that one was made to remove mirena which was stuck & couldn't be removed the normal way. Aboyt a month ago we found out it was stuck, My mother told me I should contact a lawyer because she saw a lawsuit commercial for having mirena surgically removed. I didn't really think too much of it. But after experiencing the pain yesterday from it, now I am thinking about it. The nurses have me 2 pain meds, neither one v was working. They had to call the anestesiologist & he gave me something stronger.
As for weight loss for monday, I've been nauseous only had 2 slices of toast yesterday. Just tried an English muffin after 3 bites felt sick. Hopefully tonight I can eat a little more. Has anyone else heard of a lawsuit against mirena? ? |
nightkat thanks for your reply I am up almost 3 lbs now but I'm going to get it together today!:hug:
wannaskip :hug: I will be strong now, I just had a weak moment..thanks for the encouragement As soon as my husband helps me figure out the camera to pc upload I will post,, my computer is old and I don't use it..I'm always on my tablet |
Cheeiloos sorry you have an such a rough time lately.
Nightkatt I love the idea of a champagne or peacock colored wedding dress! Alicia hope you are feeling better. Sue glad to see the fighter back. ;) I hope everyone's weekend is great and is the start to a better week. |
