Hi all, I hope everyone's weekends are going well. I am struggling to get my head back into this and get back into posting. I am still trying with food and the scales are moving in the right direction again, but I will try harder to get on here and read everyone's posts and be more involved once more!
Quick update before going out for a picnic lunch (mainly healthy snacks packed) Restarting on 9th March - SW 205.0 Goal weight 199.0 9/3 - 205.0 12/3 - 203.8 |
Nice drop Nichols!!
ophelia I think that I am going to order the book off of Amazon today. I talked to my husband about it and he thinks that I should start now and not wait... eeek... I will let you know how it goes!! Nice job takingcontrol and ronja!! I am a bit surprised that I went down today. Last night I had a cheeseburger with no bun and fries from Famous Daves. I ate a little bit more than I needed, but didn't finish it. I would bet that tomorrow I will be up a bit.

OK, , today has been a good day for getting my brain back on this. I think it is probably because I have slept well this weekend and have enough energy to focus on something other than just staying awake!
This thread helped me so much with staying on track in Jan and Feb so want to make sure that it keeps being a big part of my journey from now on too. I have read back through and am ready to weigh in daily and log the highs and lows, and to find onederland! Nancy, Keika, Kfunk, Nicikas Family hello and welcome! This place is great for logging the good and the bad and for rejoicing in success as well as finding support for the tough times! NicolasFamily whoop to your drop, I hope it is here to stay! KfunkYour meal choice sounded pretty good, taking away the bun and not eating it all both impress me! Ronja you are doing great! Let's see if your maintenance phase is going to end up being shorter and heading down from here.... I love how well IF is working for you and totally understand what you mean about 95kg and your old 'fat weight' for me, that is definitely not being in the 200s anymore. I ensured I sat under that number even though 'fat' for a long time after I lost weight previous and getting back below is psychologically huge. My next big number to aim for is 174, this is as low as I got on my journey last time before life changes led me back to eating and took away my exercise regime and although I hadn't made it into a 'normal' BMI I was feeling good before I threw it away. This time, it will be to there and beyond......! Ophelia will be interested to follow your journey to being strong. At the moment I don't have the funds to join a gym to use weights etc. so am putting in place an at home / outdoors plan which can't easily include lifting. The last time I journeyed to a skinnier me I worked hard to be strong and LOVED how it felt! Congrats on your continuing fantastic progress LovelyLeah Did you end up eating out with your MIL? How are you feeling now? I hope you find a way out of the binge cycle and sorry to hear you've been struggling a lot with anxiety. Your numbers are doing great, I LOVE seeing that you are in and around onderland! Now, I am back on well on your tail towards the magic 100s and beyond! The batch cooking still hasn't happened... but yes, when I get round to it I quite enjoy it, I LOVE having a plan in place for the week and knowing that my weekend organisation helps with my success. Today I plan to make two new soup flavours and a couple of other interesting things. I forgot to get onions so the cooking was delayed but got some in earlier so will cook right after dinner and in the morning as I have a late start at work. Unwanted37 good luck for this month and congratulations on being so close to goal! Weekendboater I am certainly playing that 3 week game and love your positive attitude! Nightsnacker your week sounds insane, but you still managed a drop, well done! Hope it stuck! Darius Good luck for the sleep study and you are moving int he right direction with your numbers this month :) Today, I have been out for a picnic lunch and actually ate really well.... I avoided alcohol and didn't overeat. tonight I am making a fresh tomato sauce for pasta and later planning out my next week in front of the TV. I have also got back on the exercise wagon this weekend and hope to continue it each day from here. My abs are on fire right now, love it! Daily weigh ins are BACK as is my pledge to post here every single day. The rest of March WILL BE AWESOME!!!! |
I'll be honest I'm really not in the mood for personals today.
I did go out with my MIL last night. We went to a movie and that went well. But afterwards she took me out to eat. Restaurants are already stressful enough for me but then to go out on a Saturday night was extra hard. What made things even worse for me was the restaurant was more of a bar than anything and it was loud and packed!! Also they didn't really have much on the lighter side. My MIL is really sweet and I honestly believe she didn't mean to pick a place that would be really hard for me. She said that I handled it nicely and that I hid my anxiety really well. That's true, I'm definitely good at pretending things are better than they are. Even when in my head I'm begging her to hurry up so I can go home. I hate being out of my apartment. But then when I got home I binged despite already being full. I know that my jump in weight this week has a lot to do with my binges, my husband bringing home fast food (even when I've had the calories to eat and not go OP). And also that I have barely been drinking any water which I need to focus on today. I know it won't be that hard to get my weight back on track. But today I'm having a really hard time motivating myself to not give up. Not only did my weight jump out of onederland but it was by a lot more than I was expecting. And then today is measurements day for me. I had hope that those would give me good news but those went up too. I'm really trying hard to focus on the grand scheme today. If I give up then I won't be in my swimsuit comfort range when I go to the cabin this summer. It certainly isn't easy though.

Just jumping in really quick to make my update before having to log right back out, so no time for personals today. Just saying hello to everyone! :wave: Weigh-in was 250.6 today, so already a bit down again from yesterday even with technically weighing in an hour earlier due to Daylight Savings...so, I am optimistic that will mean good things for tomorrow's weigh-in! Fingers crossed, lol. :crossed:

LovelyLeah aww you poor thing!!! I'm really sorry you've had such stressful experience and now feeling down about what seems like lack of progress. I think we've all been there at some point. For me, that's why I'm sitting here, obese even after so many, oh so many attempts to lose weight. All the years of trying followed by giving up because my progress seemed so slow, or because I gained a little of my lost weight back and I felt discouraged. Oh dear, how I wish I hadn't given up every single time in past! Even if I just maintained, I would still be so much better off now.
You're a lovely, courageous and very determined young lady. I know you will pick yourself up after this, and carry on with what you have been doing. You deserve this, you have this, you just need to push through. Please don't give up, it's a minor setback but on the bigger scheme of things, you're doing excellent and the summer is coming!!! You will BE SO VERY PROUD when the summer arrives and you will be comfortable in your swimsuit and all the lovely summer dresses!!! Also, stay with us, because we need you! :D Sending lot of hugs your way. |
takingcontrol thank you so much for your words. It's amazing how well we can relate to each other. I have nobody in my real life who would understand but you seem to be feeling exactly like I do! I also have my lowest-ever-as-an-adult weight (85) at which I felt very comfortable, although technically I was still overweight. I so hope to get to that point this year...and I hope you see the amazing 174 soon!

Good morning everyone, another week starting today.... this year is flying! I hope it's a good and kind week for everyone, I am happy to be back! My weight is up a little this morning but I am not at all surprised as every part of me aches after reintroducing workouts yesterday! Today's mission is to drink lots of water to help the sore muscles! Food plan for the week almost done, I WILL be organised and on plan!
Ronja - I hope your fast day brings you even closer to double digits! I love this place for being surrounded by people that just 'get it'. Lovely Leah - I hope yesterday was a more peaceful day and you managed to have some quiet you time to recharge. Take care Flower1 - lovely consistent losses there! Ophelia hope your weekend was good yet busy and that your numbers continue heading down from now Have a good week all!

Although I'm still holding my breath I think it's safe to say that I am cleared from 145 and officially 144. That means I have 6 lbs to go until I hit my goal for the month (Woo hoo!) Although, I was down this morning I put a shirt on and it felt snug..I don't know what is up with that but hopefully it gets better with time.

Nice work Nancy, Ronja, flower and ophelia!!
Great job working out takingcontrol! Making plans for my meals and coming to this site are the 2 things that help me the most! You will be in Onederland in no time! Nichols Nice drops the last 4 days!! It seems like we were similar in that last week we had bounced around a bit and then this week the losses start coming! It is so hard to stay patient (for me anyways)! Good job!! :hug: Leah I am sorry that you are having a hard time right now. I know what you mean about going out to a packed bar, I too, would be counting down the minutes until I could leave. Please don't beat yourself up though, I know, easier said than done, BUT you have done a fantastic job!! Binges and slip ups happen to everyone, as long as you don't quit you will be ahead of the game. I would guess the jump in the scale and your measurements are due to you retaining water. As I figured I went up today. And last night I went out to dinner again, ugh! This time I ordered a grilled chicken Asian salad and mooched some French fries from my daughter. I took most of the salad home for a late lunch/dinner today.

ronja I had asked this before, but I am not sure if you saw it. Do you eat anything during your fast days? I am very curious about fasting, it seems to be very effective!
