Me too!:dust:

i consumed , some embarassing things yesterday. i had the second interview- i dont think it went so hot. now i am negotiating (trying to) the contract that i do not want to accept. trying to avoid any food sources as i already had to trade lunch due to some snacking issues.


AHHH

I'm really proud of myself. I was really tired this evening and against my better judgement decided to nap for an hour and then head to the gym. By the time I woke up it was midnight. Normally I'd say, oh well - too bad but I quickly changed into my exercise gear and hit the gym. Put in 30 mins cardio (normally aim for 45 to 60) but that's ok. I'll compensate in the coming days.

Weighed in at 63.6 kgs this morning. I know people who eat heavy for breakfast (main meal) and then go light the rest of the day. I really wish I could stomach that but I can barely handle cereal. Too bad, may have seen that elusive 62 kgs sooner but it's fine. I'm learning to just focus on the specifics (exercise 6 times a week, fasting one main meal a day, nutritious dinner etc) and not obsess about hitting goal.

You guys are amazing! Love reading all about your individual journies, the ups, downs and in- betweens.

165 this morning. I had never seen anything below 167 until this morning. I really needed a surprise on the scale, I was getting ready to throw in the towel.

4star- I am glad you are feeling better!

Bridgettedavis- Way to go on getting that extra weight back off!

stimkovs- Don't stress eat! I have a huge problem with stress eating :(

CarryOnLosing- WOW! I am so impressed! I can't seem to get me out to the garage to lift weights.

I hope everyone has a great day!

toobig, CONGRATS!! All of your hard work is paying off!!


i'm at 181 flat, after being at 181 flat yesterday and not going to the studio.

i might avoid it all weekend as well. not so sure yet. considering shooting up to ottawa for the weekend- that will DEFFINATELY result in a gain lol

Hi all. Still having some bloating issues but ate right at 1800 cals yesterday which was a little higher than I wanted but filled with some good quality foods. Still, an 800 cal deficit rather than 1000 but the scale was back below 200 this morning so I am relieved. I am still bloated. I have ring imprints on my fingers when I take my rings off. I think this is the birth control doing this so I am going to a lower dose. I need the hormone regulation so I really want to give this med a thorough try even if I bloat to some extent. My hope is that now I am getting sleep, my body will catch up and regulate it's own hormones soon.
:crossed:


stimkovs- Keep your chin up!

toobig- :woohoo:

northernrose- How's that whooshing?

bridgettedavis-Keep at it.

Carry On Losing-I am not a big breakfast eater either. I usually have a late breakfast unless I wake up really hungry.

Toobig - wooooooop! Your hard work has finally been reflected on the scale! So glad u persevered. That's a lesson I'll remember. And you can so hit the weights, just push yourself for just a day and subsequent days will (may) be easier.

4star - hope you find the right dose for you. At least you're sleeping a bit better!

Just got back from the gym 67 minutes cardio and about 40 mins weights/abs. Never realized how much back fat I have....denial is a beautiful thing.

Hey ladies, how do you deal with the extra attention from men. I'm so used to being invisible, now that I'm losing weight Im putting a little more effort into wearing nice shoes, dressing well, a Lil make up. But im finding the attention, flattering yes, but a bit intimidating as well (and enough to send me straight into a pool of Snickers bars, what I can't handle I 'release' in a binge). So used to having a permanent scowl on my face (defensive). A few days ago a guy stopped me just to say hi - I thought he was going to mug me!! Lol. I'm not complaining but how have you ladies reconciled your mindset with your evolving body?

^ Carryonlosing - yes it's weird. I mean, I haven't even lost that much. But that little bit of extra confidence seems to go a long way in terms of how much more often I get checked out. Hmm - no tips as of yet, though.

I have been sticking at 219 over the last few days, which is great. Then went to the pub last night where there was a FREE buffet. Nooooo! I ate cheese, fruit and crackers. I am 223 again this morning. It just goes to show bloat is real! As Bridgettedavis has been demonstrating!

So, I am optimistic I will be back to 219 soon.

bloat is sooo real!! was back down to 171 yesterday morning... 181 this morning after a few drinks (till about 3am so I'm sure it's mostly all water weight.. ashamed, but it was fun.. and life is short :) time to work it off!!

CarryOnLosing- I wish I had some words of wisdom. Everyone is nicer to me now that I have lost weight.

165.5 this morning. Hopefully the scale will continue to be kind.

Hope everyone stays OP this weekend.

Northernrose and too big - thanks. Hmmmm something I'll have to figure out as I go along.

64.0 kgs this morning. :) Going to get myself pampered today. Oh and it's my cheat day - yay! Wish you all a great weekend!

167 this morning. I think the family will get something light for family dinner. I'm tired of either eating too much or doing the whole grit your teeth until its over thing every weekend.

Lol!!!

Well, I kind of let my diet slide for a few weeks. :o Thankfully, I finally found my willpower reserves and I'm back on track now. I'm sorry I let so much time pass but oh well. :(

August Goal 198
Current 201.4

It's great to see so many doing so well! Keep on keeping on and never give up!!

Welcome back eatmore!! you're back and that's all that matters! I've been letting it slide a little more than I would like too, but as long as you keep coming back before it gets bad that's all that matters!

back down to 176.2 from 181.0 yesterday, hopefully still some water weight holding on and I'll see the low 170ies tomorrow :) gotta get back in those 160ies it's such a beautiful thing to see on the scale!!
