1370 today, much better than the past two days. But gained 3.8 lbs so far, and probably more by tomorrow morning. I just have to get right back on plan & lose this weight!
Megems - this - I have always struggled to lose weight, meaning I can work out for an hour a day and watch what I eat, and lose .5 - 1 pound. It is aggrevating. - that you posted IS me. It ticks me off to no end. But I like what you say about pushing harder - when I really focus, eat on plan, and work out with intensity and drive, the scale shifts. I guess it's a question of sustaining that effort - which is the hard part!
Natamars - that Fat Smash eating plan sounds like "clean" eating in a nutshell. I find when I eat clean I do a lot better, but sometimes - like right now with my insane workload - it's really challenging to eat totally clean (I'm relying on frozen meals a lot of the time simply to make sure I actually eat). In the summer when I have more time and can really put forth the effort, I find eating clean makes me feel really energized and healthy. Hopefully it'll give you the results you're looking for!
I had a bit of a rough day yesterday - ate lunch and dinner out. I had chicken fajitas for lunch (without the tortillas, cheese, or sour cream) but I know it was loaded with sodium. Dinner was a teriyaki chicken bowl with brown rice - tasty but again, sodium and probably a fair bit of oil. Sigh. The scale was up 1lb from yesterday which I know isn't "true" weight - I didn't overeat by 3,500 calories in 24 hours! So today I'm sucking down the water to counteract that salt intake. I really need to NOT eat out but it's hard when it's the client taking you out... But this is real life and I need to find ways to manage it, so I shall!
I think this challenge was just not meant to be for me, ugh. I've been bouncing between 169 and 173.8 for the last twoish weeks despite eating well and exercising. Of course, I signed up at my low weight so technically all I've managed to do is gain nearly 5lbs
Good evening everyone! Did you move today? I did. 90 minutes of the pool. 15 minutes of stepping and 15 of water jogging and 60 minutes of water arobics. And now knees are hurting tonight. Day off from the pool tomorrow then if weather doesnt get too bad, maybe snow again here in east tx on friday. But if its not too bad I will go to the gym friday and saturday. This is the first saturday the pool will be open for a water arobic class. LoveLeeMeIsee your from texas. I'm in east texas and I go to a gym in Longview called Paula Martin Jones Recreation Center. That's where the fun is. Calories today came to 888 so i'm down guess i need to get a snack. I weigh 256 today so that is 1 lb less than monday. My goal this week is lose 3 lbs. so want to see 254 monday night at TOPS weigh in. Were going to do this ladys so lets keep the counting going and get to moving. I pray everyone will reach their goals. Good night and have a very good Thursday.
Hey all, sorry I'm so slack on keeping up to date with you all I'm doing well with calories, exercise is ok, but best of all - I'm just feeling really good. I can see myself becoming smaller and I'm becoming happier in my body. I have a way to go yet, but I am proud of my progress!
Hello all,
Sry been out of it. School started up again, yesterday was a good long day of class...
I have been eating healthy, I really need to focus on not eating so much at night, cause at times it can get so vicious :-( but atleast it's not a binge...
Been aiming for the 3x a week workout and with school and tons of other commitments and appts, it does get challenging but such is life and we can do it :-)
My weight seems to have stabalized at 151.5 so maybe if I can get the night eating under control I will be able to lose a few and I def. don't want to gain...
Have a good night all'
Wednesday's calories: 1630. Exercise: 1 hr. body sculpting class
Calories were over plan yesterday - frustration with the scale is hurting me. Glad I' m changing things up on Saturday. Plan for today is to keep it under 1500 calories. 1 hour Zumba! class tonight.
Morning all. Doing good so far for the week. TOM reered it's ugly head at me this morning. It wipes me out, exhaustes me, and just plan hates me. I will not let it take me down though!
Already planned my dinner, so I will have 1200 cal. by the end of the day. That's good if I can stick with it. It's been so hard for me lately, I've been depressed and down for two days. I feel like my kids just hate me & don't want to be bothered with me anymore( long story). I know eating won't make it better & I don't want to sabotage myself over this. But I want junk food so bad, good I having nothing here, but I'm very tempted to go buy every cake, cookie & candy that looks good to me & sit down and eat it all!
Hey all, got a loss, not as much as I wanted...guess I'll have to get used to this slower loss of around a pound a week? Wouldn't mind losing a little more some weeks...but at least losing is losing.. I'm down to 66.4kg/146.5 pounds.
I'm so hungry today, but that's probably because I had a small breakfast and haven't eaten lunch yet. Luckily I had a low cal day yesterday and a few the days before - going out for dinner tonight to a Thai restaurant.
