tyla- sorry that didn't work. It took me forever to change my current weight.
Did you go through all the steps - even the copy and paste part?
Someone helped me the first time but now I forget where that is.
Ask again and maybe someone will see it and help you.
I look so forward to my weekends, when I can spend time with my hubby. I love it that everything is blooming outside and all the birdies are singing again. Springtime is great! So beautiful!
Let's all be strong. Easter will be here before you know it!
Tyla - Thankyou! I was really happy and I've been doing good this week eating and exercise wise but my weight seems to be slowly creeping up and I'm not sure why :/. I haven't done anything I thought would cause any type of gain but weigh in isn't until Wednesday so fingers crossed it will go back to normal by then (yn). You have done so well, AMAZING will power! Keep it up I wish I'd taken part in giving something up for lent, it's something I definately want to do next year! And I can understand that, recently I've actually been wanting to be more religious, well not religious but turn my life around a lot. From making a lot of mistakes in my life I really just want to change. I'm not saying I'll give up everything that would be classed as "bad", just being a better person is good enough for me .
Has any of you guys weight ever crept up for no logical reason? Ot's getting to me a little bit.
x, stress can make you gain. There is a hormone called cortisol which goes into your blood stream. This is to give you energy and balances your blood pressure. When too much cortisol goes into your blood stream, due to stress, it triggers insulin. Too much insulin causes you to gain weight. So, you can do all the right things to lose, but when you are stressed, you can gain weight.
I've heard not getting enough sleep is another one that causes weight gain.
I've been under a lot of stress and not sleeping the best lately, and I know I'm one of those people that's probably holding on to weight. But I'll stay disciplined. I think meditation might be in order. LOL
As far as being a better person, I really feel like you do. I want to be a better person physically, emotionally and socially. But with all the craziness going on all around us, sometimes it's kind of hard to do. But I'm trying.
Let's continue to be determined in our weight loss goals.
Tyla
Looks like I did something. LOL I liked the blue flower better, but I'm stuck with what I've got for now. I've been working on this for some time now, and I'm tired. LOL
Tyla - That would make sense I suppose I have had a lot going on recently! I just really hope it calms down soon, it's putting me off trying! I have those moments when I really just want to go give up and lie down haha. As for the sleep I've probably slept a bit too much the past few days, lazy I know but I've been off work so I figured I'd make the most. Then again I have been staying up a lot later too! Ah hopefully our sleeping patterns will return to normal soon, I have my fingers crossed for you . Meditation is actually a good idea, maybe we need to do more yoga and reiki lol. Or maybe go for a massage? That should relax us!
I'm glad someone gets that! And I agree but all we can do is try our hardest, we'll get there eventually . My next step in improving myself is going to college, I never went when I was supposed to and now I want to. I want to change career and do a course even though it is 2 years I'm happy to do it. I actually miss learning which I never thought I'd say! I had my second interview today and I definately have a place, I started in the fall so yay for that! What are you doing? .
Can you believe it...only 12 more days until Easter!!! Boy, this year has been going fast. It's almost April. I'm just getting over the holidays and New Year's. That's where I picked up the extra pounds, and having a hard time dropping them. I was actually at goal before the holidays. One of these days I'll get back there. It seems like it's taking forever.
x, Congratulations on getting into college. I think that's excellent. What will you get your degree in? I got my degree in Psychology. And I love to learn new things! My husband and I sometimes watch The Science Channel, National Geographic or Discovery Channel on TV and learn a lot. Does British TV have anything like that? I also like watching comedies. Right now The Big Bang Theory is my favorite show. Do you have that there? (I'm starting to sound like a nerd. But I really love lots of things...art, drama, music, dance.) Sorry I'm going on and on. Anyway, I wish you all the best!
Let's continue to do well in our healthy eating habits.
Weighed in today and I'm down 0.4 lbs, not a big loss by any means but I've been up as much as 3 lbs during the week so it's good to see the scale going back to normal . And we're so close to Easter now, some scary stuff. I agree with the people who say this year is flying by.
Tyla - Keep up the hard work and you'll be back to goal before you know it (: Psychology? Wow, I've heard that's really tough but it sounds very interesting. I'm doing Travel and Tourism, I'm seriously determined I'm going to travel when I've finished as well, I really want to take a year out visit as many places as I can. Yeah we do! I watch channels like that all the time so in no way do you sound a nerd haha, I love the cooking channels too haha (: Anyways have a great day!
Danni , have you tried your new Pilates dvd? Do you like it?
Imworthit, how are you doing?
x, congrats on your weight loss! You're so close to your goal, that any loss is fantastic! Excellent work. I think it's great that you are going into the travel business. Where is the firsrt place you want to visit? I love your new butterfly.
Tyla - Thankyou! I'm not going to make it for easter now but I hope to have lost a little bit more for when it comes! I think the first place I want to go not just for a holiday purpose (aka me sunbathing all week) would have to be China (: So much to see! Have you got any holidays planned this year?
Scale reads 128 today. I bought some exercise bands this week but have not gone upstairs to try the DVD yet. If you read my post in the March Chat thread you will know that I am trying flaxseed - added it to my oatmeal and it seem to have stopped the nightly eating.
Tomorrow is my official weigh-in and record day. Hope that I can stay in at 128 or I will soon have to move my poor chicken back up!
X, you're doing great! Just keep doing what you are doing and you will lose those last couple of lbs. It doesn't matter if we lose 5 lbs. by Easter. It matters that we are eating better, learning new habits and feeling better. Today I weighed myself, and was shocked I haven't lost anything since I started giving up everything. (Well, I did lose .5 lb.) But my hubby says I look good and I feel better, so that should be enough. I did start a Fat Smashers plan by Dr. Ian of Celebrity Fit Club 4 days ago and eventually that should shake things up a bit. I must say giving up protein and eating more fruits and veggies feels good to me. (By the way, I have no plans to go anywhere on or after Easter as of yet.)
Danni,, congrats on your weight loss!! I didn't realize that you posted on the other thread. Eating flax seed sounds totally healthy. Great idea! Since I eat oatmeal everyday, I should try that. Bands are a great idea, too. Any other tips to help me drop these last 10. I get kind of discouraged at times, even when I know I am developing good habits. I am doing Pilates and cardio these days, too. (30-50 minutes per day) Unfortunately, I don't feel that great, and the doctor has me on meds. I wonder if that's the culprit to not losing.
Danni - Here's hoping you stay at 128 tommorow! Congrats, you are so close! . I've never tried using exercise bands so you'll have to let me know what they're like! I'm glad the flaxseed is helping, another thing I might have to try, it's super healthy! Tyla - At the moment I'm waiting until I get to 115 lbs to decide whether I want to go to 110, I'm not sure if it's gonna look healthy but it's all about trial and error ey . 0.5 lbs still counts! We're all getting so close, woop. What's fat smashers, I'm not sure I've heard of it?
I wish I'd taken part in giving something up for lent, it's something I definately want to do next year!
