Great job Berry on making your goal. You're always one of the first to complete their goal and I'm so proud of you. Also congrats on the NSV I read elsewhere, that's amazing.
Jacqui Great job staying consistent before carb day!
Today is our first day open at work. I'm ready for everyone yelling into the store "it's too early!!" I politely holler back "I still get paid!" Oh the joys of working at a Christmas store in July. It's even more funny to photobomb their selfies. I make a sport of it. I can always tell when they're making a snapchat vid of themselves exclaiming how it's too early for Christmas so I'll sneak into the background and shake my head at them. It gives me a sense of pride.
I have to remind myself that I'm not plateauing when I weigh myself daily. When the scale doesn't move for 3 days my first thought is uh-oh, plateau! I have to remind myself I am still losing each week, and I'm having big drops but then my weight stabilizes before dropping again. That's far from being a real plateau. I just need to remember the big picture. That's why I made myself a weekly weight loss grid (I'm a graph nerd!). Here's a link to a crappy cell phone picture of it. On the left is weight loss, on the bottom is weekly dates spanning a year, the straight diagonal green line is projected weigh loss of 65 pounds in a year, the black dots and lines is actual weight loss, and the yellow highlighted lines are BMI milestones. This is my tangible "big picture."
LovelyLeah - I know the feeling when the scale doesn't move, I think the worst too.. but staying strong and having faith in what we're eating is key.
I avoided Pizza, cupcakes, sweets and chocolate at a childrens party this afternoon - so hard as it was in abundance and adults eating as well as children. Proud of myself for making it through even with my own children tempting me. lol
I started at 159 lbs.... I was down to 156 3 days ago and today I am 158.... GGGRRR.... My goal is to lose 20 lbs. am trying to stick to the 21 day fix plan, using the containers. I was doing well but I blew it this weekend.
I am really late to the July party but I'm jumping in anyway My goal for the month is to see my scale say 304 - anything above that shows E... I was at 316 in the beginning of June (checked on my sister's scale while visiting there). I was on vacation/at a conference in Milan Italy for the past two weeks and while there lost some weight (I can feel it in how my clothes fit and my rings are looser). I think on the trip we walked miles and miles every day, ate only at mealtimes (and several of those were small meals - light breakfasts and some days we packed light lunches - and virtually zero extra snacking, and sweat buckets each day in the heat and humidity!). So the rest of the month I am going to continue with the progress I made while away and hope to break the error message on my scale!
Have a great weekend everyone!
