looseseal Great job on getting the scale to move!

So I think I have ruined all my hard work from last month and the first two weeks. I have been eating all kinds of carbs and bad stuff. argh! I am so mad at myself right now! I need to be eating properly and giving up the sweet stuff all together because I have no control! its so frustrating.

I feel like I have no self control. it makes me so angry. I know what I need but seem to keep just self sabotaging myself. Then have a meltdown at the end of the day.

The worst? My hubby keeps telling me I am looking thinnier and he can see the difference and I feel like I will be letting him down too with the last few days of eating.

anyways I hope to set it straight again tomorrow

Haven't gone off plan but been really lazy the last few days and I think it is slowing my weight loss...I feel like I have lost all my energy...:(

I haven't been very active in this thread but have been active dropping the weight, at 136 now! And my goal for the month is 135. (from 141.5) so I am excited!

Keep up the work girls!

minoja I know what you mean about the energy. up your water intake and that might help get you out of the sluggish behavior

philana Way to go! You are doing sooo well. Keep it up! you may even get below you goal

well I kicked myself in the *** and went to the gym today. Cardio plus weight training makes me feel awesome! I will just keep pushing and going little by little.

keep it up ladies!

I'm 0.2 lbs away from meeting this month's goal, right? So obviously, TOM comes along and brings me 7,7 lbs. *********. Today I'm 2,2 lbs down. But I also ate more than 700 calories today, so God knows what the scale will say tomorrow. How can I retain so much water? Also, the ankle is fine now, so, yay for that. Although, no1curr about the ankle because it's not like I've used it since yesterday. I just sit in bed and watch sims set themselves on fire all day long. :p

sun - :hug: you brushed off and started again - so you won! don't be discouraged, you're doing great :)

good work philana!

marni - TOM, getting over an injury - water weight can happen. hang in there :)

This morning, I made monthly goal: 229.0. :carrot:

I want to end the month with a lower number, so I'm aiming for that.

Have a great day all!

Great job, everyone. Keep up the good work!

Weighed in at 205 this morning - only 1 more lb to go to meet my goal for the month. Fingers crossed! **I will not go off track this weekend... I will not go off track this weekend...**

Well now I am pretty positive of what the culprit was for my lack of energy...TOM!!! Hate it but the sooner it's over the better so I can start feeling normal again.

189.4 this morning... :woohoo: I may have actually figured this crap out!!!! Sorry I haven't checked in much, time has been less than normal for me. You all are doing so awesome though!!!

ItsMyTurn Oh my gosh! you and I have almost the same starting point and current weight! AND we joined in the same month! So interesting how similar some of our journeys are.

Hi all. :) Sorry I haven't been around; it has been an incredibly busy last few days with a grant proposal that was due yesterday and then being away last night. I am super tired as I haven't slept nearly enough, so I'm just checking in briefly tonight but will get more caught up tomorrow. I was happily surprised to see 137.3 lbs on the scale today though and I'm calling that goal met for the month. :)

dcapulet: Congratulations on meeting your April goal!! Awesome job, and you're in the 220s!! :carrot: I made you RED below. :D

loose seal: Thank you! And the hormones could definitely be the culprit... I swear they have a far bigger impact on my weight at any given time than sodium or carbs, etc. I hope the scale kept moving for you this week!

ItsMyTurn: I'm SO happy that you're seeing the progress you were working for this month. Congratulations on the 180s!!!

minoja: Ugh, I am very familiar with that TOM-related lack of energy! Glad that's all it was and that you'll be feeling more like yourself soon. :)

Everyone else, keep up the great progress this weekend! Tomorrow is Earth Day, so I say we should all find a way to get outside and be active. Except it's going to be pouring here. :lol: Anyway, hope everyone has a great Sunday.

chel - I hadn't noticed that before... good catch :) I have been plateaued in the 190's since December... not sure how yours has gone, but I was SO ready to drop again finally :)

Chickadee - Great job!!!! Hope you are able to get some rest caught up ;) You sure do run around a bunch :lol:

103 degrees today, so just hung by/in the pool today.. rough life. Going to get my run in early since tomorrow is supposed to be a few degrees warmer than today. I want to get in the run before it gets too hot - nothing worse than collapsing when you are trying to burn calories :rofl:

dcapulet, I'm a bit of a drama queen, normally and when I get my period I become a drama empress, don't pay attention. :lol: Congrats on meeting your goal!

Well, I'm at 191.6 today, so the bloating is going away. It's going to come back, though, because I'll go home on Tuesday... I hope I can get rid of it before the month ends.:p

I've been stalled this whole month :( But now its my tom and I went up to 172-I refuse to change my ticker I just refuse! xD

good job everyone with the losses, sounds like it's a successful month! For me things are not going so great. I'm stressed because of exams and really tired of my university and really missing my family. I have been so unfocused and unmotivated with my weight loss, I am going to try desperately just to maintain right now. I have been emotionally eating all the time despite being aware of it I'm just too tired and lazy to care..and my weight has gone up to 150, 5lbs more than my goal for April. So i'm just going to make it my goal for the next 1.5 weeks to not gain any more, and then I will have 3 months back at home to figure out what my weight loss goal will be and really put my mind to it. I feel like a disappointment, but I really needed a break!

good luck everyone else
