surfnmom- Thanks, maintaining is so hard. My lowest weight was 104lbs, i was 106lbs. most of the time, for over a year I maintained with no hunger. I had menstrual problems at the time & didn't realize my body fat % was too low. I had to let myself gain 2 lbs. to solve the problem, and that's when the bad hunger pains started. Now my weight has been creeping up, cause I need to eat more calories. I know my body very well, it wants me to gain more weight. It may sound crazy, but it can happen. Thanks, your the first person that had the same thing happen to them.
Losing water weight finally. 3 lbs.to go, which I think is actual fat I gained. Had 1500 calories, 200 over my limit. This is what I have to do to prevent over eating with junk food. This painful hunger I've been having is terrible. An hour or two after I eat a meal, I'm starving again. I know I'm not getting hungry like this cause I actually need the food. I'm doing the same activities & eating the same whole foods everyday as I always have been, so I'm not burning extra calories. I fill up on yogurt, fruit or lean protein to help the hunger, but it doesn't last for long. It's pathetic when I have to eat a 1000 cal. breakfast to feel full, but I'd rather eat that much in the morning before I workout so i can boost my metabolism more. I've got to figure this all out, I know I have to reduce my calories back to 1200-1300 a day or I won't lose this weight. I'm starting tomorrow!
Steping in just to read and say I hope everyone is well today. Been raining again today so i've stayed in all day working on stuff. Just cant wait to get back to the pool next week. missing it bad. Went a little over but not too bad on my calories. But Jan 1st it all will chg. Well think i'm off to bed, have a good one tonight with the challenge.
Weeeeeeeell Confession time! Yesterday didn't end too good. I went over about 700 calories. Those darn late night munchies always get me. Just gotta try harder next time...i know what to do, just gotta stick to it. I'm never going to get to my goal weight giving in to cravings. And i know that once i stop giving in to those cravings..those cravings have less of a hold on me. I did so good all day and im proud of that. Yesterday could have been a lot worse.
anyways. Yesterday I got in a 45min power walk. Today will be cardio plus some type of weights. bbl to report
I almost doubled my calories yesterday. Went to a little get together for my boyfriend's mom's birthday, and the cake did me in. It's ok though, I tell myself. I'll do better next time.

Exactly! Its does no good beating our self up over it. We will do better next time. Lets kick some butt today
Had 1190 cal. , only lost 3oz. I thought it might be more than that, I've been really active the whole week, but my calories were a little higher too. So I think it makes sense. I think I'm detoxed from the X-mas junk food finally, didn't have any bad hunger pain or cravings. Why can't every day be like this? The weather is a little warmer now, so I went for a 40min. power walk. It felt so good to be out in the fresh air. As of now I'm feeling confident that I will stay on plan for New Year's Eve, tomorrow might be a different story though.
Hello!!
Can you ladies say PROGRESS!! My mom came home from the hospital today!!! Let's celebrate the goodness of God!!!!! She was rolling in physical therapy. They will have the speech therapist come by the house.
I've eaten better the last two days. I don't plan to weigh myself again until mid Jan so I stay encouraged. I will check in each day to be accountable on my eating.

Eating is going well with me, although with the cold it feels like I'm eating too much. Tomorrow I will have to brave the elements to get to exercise. I'll need some extra motivation to do that !!
My weight fluctuates by 2-3 pounds during a single week. I think it is salt that causes fluid retention. Who knows. I try to watch trends instead of worrying about one day's results.
I'm doing ok on my goals for the Valentine's challenge. Thanks for being here to provide group support.

Lori-Hope your DH is doing better..he is still in my prayers.
HAPPY NEW YEARS 2011! Doing good this morning. Scales was good to me weigh in at 249. Going to do some cooking today for tomorrow because the old story i was told whatever you do on jan 1 you will do alot of. If that is true I want to watch what I eat thru the yr and excercise so I will only do that tomorrow. I glad everyone is doing good have a good one today and I will drop in tonight.
Good Morning!!!
Still doing well. Getting ready to get a meal ready for my mom. She has her days and nights mixed up so she's up at night and sleeping late during the day.
I've been running up and down stairs to check on her so I'm getting in some good exercise. I was thinking about weighing myself on the tomorrow as my official new year's day weight and I can know what I loose as opposed to this past year. I do know I've gone from a size 24 to a size 12/14 though...which is a great accomplishment. Looking forward to making my goal of 10lbs for the Vday challenge!!!
Had 1196 cal. Lost 8oz. more. I added a bit more fat to my diet by eating nuts, it seems to be helping the bad hunger I've been getting. Went for a great 40min walk & hike at the Game Preserve, I love it there. 1100 acres of mountains, wildlife, & lovely views. Can't beat that. Weather was perfect at 45 degrees w/ no wind. We're going again tomorrow, can't wait, it's only 15min from our house. Stomach didn't feel good tonight, had stomach cramps for hours. So i will not be drinking or eating tonight. It's better now, I don't want to make it worse. Have a great New Year's Eve!!!
