  • Did good yesterday, Jazzercise in morning and POP for most of the day. Dinner was a bit tricky but I think I made the best choice considering the options available. Today is my no exercise day so I will try and be 100% POP. So far so good - but it's still early.
  • Hey ladies!
    So the beginning of june has been kind of hard for me because somewhere in the beginning of june and end of may i gained 3 pounds. That was really hard because its been a while since i've gained back more than a pound at a time.
    I know its because of food, and the broken twisted relationship with food that has been created (by me, and by the habits passed down to me from my mother).
    But today i was back down to 140, so im hoping that by tomorrow ill be back in the 130's! and be able to continue towards my goal of 130 pounds.
    I'm really trying to fix my diet and do a little more exercising with hopes of speeding up my weight loss but i guess ill have to see what happens. Right now im just trying to get back into the 130's.
    Lol sorry for kind of rambling. I'm going to try and get into this thread frequently because i really need some support for these last 10 pounds and am not finding it anywhere in my actual life.
    hope you ladies are doing great
  • I want to join you all as well! It has been a while since I was active on this board. I have about 15 lbs to goal and need the help to keep from being too "comfortable" at my current weight. I was supposed to start Monday but I'm thinking next week. We have a lot of weddings to attend and other events this month so i want to make sure I am doing the best i can to look good for these and feel better about myself! Thanks for your support!! I need all of the help i can get!
  • Good Morning!

    Weird day yesterday. I had an almost headache ... like the weather was changing. I sort of sluggishly got done what I had to do but only got on the elliptical for 10 minutes.

    So far so good this morning. Weight's the same as yesterday inspite of a little ice cream.
  • OP yesterday (high end of my calorie range, but in it, two 30-min cardio sessions, walk to & from campus, walk the dog), and gained 7 pounds overnight. Can we say, sodium? How demoralizing.

    I was blisfully asleep from 11:00 - 11:30 last night, when my husband got home...he was quiet, but I woke up, couldn't get back to sleep, & at 2:30 a.m. finally took a sleeping pill. So needless to say, no morning yoga for me today.

    I don't know what my plan is for today. I guess low sodium, low end calories, lots of water, and 3 30 min. cardio sessions to try to push some of this weird water weight out. Sigh.
  • Yesterday was perfectly POP

    Jogged/ran 45 mins, some weight training with a friend in the evening...

    This morning I am down 2 lbs... shhhhh, no huppla please
  • Pretty good yesterday. Today, Jazzercise done and hopefully eating will be on track. Scale seems to be heading in right direction. We'll see after the weekend. MIL is coming to visit which is always stressful for me.
  • these last 10 pounds are really turning into the most frustrating. and i thought the rest of it was frustrating!
    So yeah, things aren't going too well in the beginning of June, but im still trying to be optimistic and just keep going because i am really determined to lose the rest of this weight.
    i've come so far, i dont want to stop now!
  • I need to get through the weekend without a serious gain again. It was so motivating last week ....
  • Weekend motivation
    Quote: I need to get through the weekend without a serious gain again. It was so motivating last week ....
    If I knew how to motivate you ( and myself ) I would bottle it and sell it, I would make a fortune.
    Susan, I think of you as a very intelligent and determined person. What you put your mind to do you can do. You will make it throught the weekend with flying colors.
  • im so frustrated! why am i gaining instead of losing?!?!? It's like my body doesn't follow the same rules as everyone else's, which i know in a lot of ways that statement is true. I've always fought my body because of how different it acts compared to other people's, but this is just really started to wear down on me.
    10 pounds! that's all i ask. well, 11 now that my body decided to gain instead of lose -_-
    Bargoo: if you manage to bottle that motivation, i will totally buy some. money is no object. lolo
  • Didn't think I would be able to exercise today but was able to go to Jazzercise this morning. Yeah! What I nice way to start the weekend off. Eating should be on plan today, tomorrow might be a different story but I'm really gonna try. I want to be able to lower my ticker on Monday.
  • Aw Bargoo thank you!

    Actually I am doing all right this weekend. Not sparkling but not incredibly overindulgent like some weekends.

    100percentME calmly now ... do you want us to have a look at your regimen?
  • Yesterday went well until dinner, seems to be a problem lately. Was short for time and needed something quick for whole family. Had pizza which would have been fine but a had a slice too many New day - on my way to Jazzercise.

    I will stay on plan because 1st of the 2 weddings I'm attending is only 1 week away. The dress I am planning to wear is not very forgiving, every pound counts!

    Have a great day ladies!
  • Weekend eating was not too bad and exercise was great. I had hoped to be able to change my ticker but the weight was holding steady as of this morning. Jazzercise this morning and eating has been good today - hopefully I can follow through to dinner and the rest of the evening.
