So far June's been a sucky month for me where exercise is concerned and I'm feeling guilty. My eating has been on plan but because I don't want to exhaust myself I've been forced to work out every other day. So, I worked out June 1, did weights and situps on June 2, again worked out June 3, felt exhausted on the 4th so allowed myself a day off but did crunches and pushups, then I worked out hard yesterday and felt very tired this morning so...again have been forced to take the day off today.

So out of 6 days I've only really worked cardio 3 days. I hope I feel better enough to exercise tomorrow, I'd really like to at least lose 5 if not the entire 8 by the end of the month.

It amazes me how good health is something we totally take for granted.


I hope all of you are well. Congratulations everyone on your losses! I can't wait until weigh in though don't expect much because of this beginning of the month set back.

Herm.... I dont' know... so far I've gained and not lost this month. And today I was so bummed and discouraged I just ate more. How stupid is that???? Well, I guess all I can do is go back on plan tomorrow and remember my goal and how good it feels to lose.

On a whim I stepped on the scale this morning, hoping that I would just be maintaining and well...I couldn't believe my eyes! I was reading my goals when I started this final weightloss journey...(I'd actually started the exercising process in mid April..joined 3fc in May) AND my goal was to be 130 by my vacation in JULY!

So I'm feeling pretty good today despite feeling like crap still. My cold had advanced into a horrid throat infection that my two year old son has as well. He was up every hour hacking last night....He's asleep now, likely exhausted form the constant cough. Poor baby. Hopefully we'll be better by next week. I've decided to give my body some rest as far as cardio goes and I"m ok with that. I"m going to still eat mindfully and do my non cardio exercises.

I realized sometime last night that the real goal of weight loss is not only the weight loss itself but health. I'm doing all this work to be healthy and that means paying attention to my body not pushing it brutally. SO...for now, I'm ok with the way things are....

Lekhika:....i Just Wanted To Congratulate You...wow...you Are Doing Wonderful...keep Up The Great Work...be Proud!!!!

got some new scales, not gonna use them until saturday though, but according to my mum the scales I've been using are like -8 pounds so my real starting weight for this month is 149 so I'll wait until saturday to find out my true weight and start again, but now my goal will be 7 pounds from Saturday to allow for weight differences and stuff.

Don't despair! I had about 3 weeks like that...going up a couple of pounds then back to 207. I was SO SO frustrated, and was just eating anything. Then I really buckled down Monday, and I am down 2 pounds so far. So YES...Just remember how good it feels when you see that scale move down. I swear, I did a happy dance butt naked when I got off the scale this morning. It's like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders..or butt, or belly..who knows where it came off of but it did :D

Lekhika - WTG on meeting your goal !!!

Well last night was not good for me, i just wanted to eat eat eat!!! And thats what i did : ( im cross with myself but im not giving up, today im eating nice and light to try and compensate. Exercise has been not great this week, but the exercise will get back on track next week.

THank you so much for your sweet words. I do feel rather good. But now, my goal is to try and get closer to 120.......hope I can do that!!

I know it's a difficult addiction to break but try to hide the scale....or throw it away and go by what you're eating, how well you're following the game plan. I know my weight fluctuates by how much salt I've consumed the previous day, the time of day I weigh.....blah blah blah. I really found that the most tremendous leap I made loss wise was putting that scale away...try it....trust me and keep on fighting the good fight.

Mascara!
Go with the still positive outlook! And I'd love to start that 3 day fruit/veggie fast with you sometime next week....Let me know what's a good starting day for you.

Hang in there! And thanks for the congrats!!! I love this site and don't know where I would be loss wise if I hadn't had the good luck to find it in one of my random Google searches!!

How are you? Miss seeing your post!

As for me....my horrid cold advanced into icky flu like symptoms, I had a fever and called my husband crying and begged him to come home early. He did, and today I still feel very icky and weak. I am ok with the not exercising finally, and feel like I'm not using my cold as an excuse that It really would be counterintuitive to my health to exercise. Plus the little guy is still down but my daughter is her spunky old self. Hope I feel better by tomorrow!

Hey everyone. I stepped on the scale today just to make sure I wasn't gaining and it said 164.9! That's two pounds down! I'm not going to claim it yet but that number totally made me feel like getting under 160 is possible. I feel so great today. Lunch is going to be bad becase I'm going out to Dim Sum which is essentially tons of food. To everyone who is feeling discouraged, KEEP GOING! Everyone has set backs, all that matters is picking yourself up that one more time.

Okay, maybe I *should* throw away the scale.
I just don't get it.
On Wednesday (I think) I was up to 137. I was so upset! So I didn't care about what I ate... I gave up... and the next day was down to 136.5 So yesterday, as much as I watched what I ate, I didn't count points, and I brought my daughter and her friends out for ice cream last night... and then this morning the scale was 135. My lowest. WTH?????

Okay, so, today I'm doing good so far. I have my weigh in in the morning.. I'm hoping to be at 137. (their scale is always higher than mine)

Lekhika I can do any time on that fast but I'd rather the 14th wasn't included (Thursday) as i would like to eat "normally" on my birthday (eg. 1500cals or under) so give me a heads up whenever.

EDIT:: okay forgot to weigh in but my real weight is according to the new scales 145 pounds so It's better than what i expected so 138's the goal for me now i guess!

What's up everyone? Over at my mama's house, washing clothes and kicking myself. Three slices of pizza I didn't even taste. Ugh.

Treighsie that totally happens too me too. I've been pretty perfect for the last week and my weight has gone up 3 pounds! Ahh. I think your weight is more sensitive to fluctuations when you get closer to your goals or something silly like that.

Also tip to all interval training is the best idea ever. I was soo exhausted today since I bike to work and back (10 km total) and I work in a day care for my summer job so I am on my feet all day chasing petite children but then I got home and I just made myself run sprint one block jog one block and I made really really good distance. Also only ate 1380 calories today (I think thats good).

finally got myself a real goal weight of 115 pounds.
JasonsLea dont be too hard on yourself we all slip up and you've gotta allow yourself some wiggle room and you'll soon get wiggle room in those pants!!
