Fried pork cutlets stuffed with cheese last night yet a 0.3 kg loss this morning. That puts me at 58.2 kg which is 128.3 lbs. My lowest adult weight was 128.0 in 2004. We can do this! I am planning to do Tae Bo this morning and run in the evening since I skipped either yesterday.

I went shopping last night and realized I have gone from a tight 73 cm to a comfortable 67 cm waist in Japanese pants. That's about a US 10-12 to a US 6.

Krampus- you are doing so awesome! IT gives me hope that this will work for me too! I am feeling like I need a "poo" in your words! I am currently giving myself a huge guilt trip at the moment for not going to the gym tonight, however I did briskly walk 3.5 miles at lunch. I need to get to the point where it is OKAY for me to miss 1-2 days per week of not working out as long as I am on point with cals. RAWR! Go you! :cheer3:

So I just need to brag, feathers.
I was just having a major I DON'T WANT TO EXERCISE ANYMORE meltdown, BUT I CONQUERED THAT FOUL BEAST AND WENT TO THE GYM AND RAN A 5K.

In 24 minutes and 56 seconds, no less!

Granted, I ran about 20 seconds faster than that at home, but I think that's because I took it easy on myself for the first mile and went only at an 8min.20sec/mi. pace, trying to talk myself into doing the whole thing.

I can do this healthy living thing! I will conquer that you're-thin-so-you-don't-have-to-exercise monster!

krampus, go you with going down so many sizes! That is awesome!

oneoftwleve, YOU ROCK! That is a crazy fast 5K, and what a comeback after being a little bleh about your workouts! Woo hoo!

I just did 40 minutes of old-school calisthenics. I feel both exhilarated and about ready to throw up at the same time. ;)

Ahhh, sounds like lots of activity went on tonight!

I did a 60 minute Spinning class, and then 20 minutes of arm/ab exercises. Stayed within my calories today, too!

Just gotta give it time to see the numbers change.....

Wow, you all rock!

I did not work out today per se but I did walk my kids to and from school and deep clean my WHOLE house top to bottom. Now that'll make you feel accomplished.

Haha Changed, you're so right. When I was too sleepy to exercise last night I cleaned - sorted my "fat clothes" into neatly folded piles to be bagged and pawned off on my friends - and felt entirely justified in putting off my Tae Bo DVD til the morning.

Today was a pretty good day eating-wise. I kept it under 1400 calories despite having a kiddie sized ice cream from Baskin Robbins at lunchtime. Hoping to see 58.0 kg in the morning...though I totally said I was going to run and then decided not to. Carrying heavy groceries home on foot for 30 minutes is kind of like running, right?

Happy Hump day Feathers!

I've been a little quiet on the forum because I've been busy with, well.. Life!

Weight loss has been moving along pretty well. I am quite pleased and hoping I don't hit a plateu soon. I've been losing on average .4 pounds a day. This is for the days I stay on plan. Whenever I go off, my body spends the next day or so trying not to gain. So it may slow it down a bit but at least I keep my sanity..and social life. Down to 131 on the nose today. 3 more pounds left till goal of 128 by Thanksgiving!

Everyone seems to be doing so well. Between the workouts, NSV's, and the pounds falling off, I'd say everyone is having a good November so far! I feel the same way about exercise as Oneoftwelve/thirteen does. It takes a lot of self talk to get my butt up to exercise. Sedentary jobs do that to you. Its a vicous cycle!

Hope everyone has a fabulous OP day!

That's awesome Dianne! Sounds like you're really into a rhythm.

126.4 on the nose this morning from 126.8 yesterday. I guess I'm averaging about .4 a day also. Maybe that means I'll get under 126 tomorrow!

Congrats!

Seems we are on the same weight loss path. Both averaging a .4 pound loss a day and both have about 11 pounds left till goal! :D

Just signed up for a 10K Thanksgiving morning. The run will be no problem. Getting there at 7:30 a.m. on the other hand....

Wow, awesome progress everybody!!

Scale was back up to 163 this morning >_< oh well. Stick to it... I swapped cereal for cottage cheese this morning, so hopefully the extra protein will get me to lunchtime without needing a snack. We'll see.

I agree... carrying groceries totally counts! (I actually just did that).

Off to get my 3 miles in..... doing my first 5k on Saturday!

Great work everyone!

This is really, really getting old. I have been bouncing between 129 and 131 (with a trip up to 133 in mid-October) for OVER A MONTH. I have been carefully counting calories, and have been absolutely on plan for well over 2 weeks, with both weight lifting (NROL4W) and cardio on a regular basis. Why the H*LL am I not losing weight? I am so jealous of you steady losers- I seem to hit plateaus like this every other month. It just should NOT take 9 months and counting to lose a mere 33 pounds, yet here I am with still 1/4 of my weight loss to go. ARGH.

Maybe try switching up your diet/exercise habits? I hear that making changes can help kick your loss back onto track... it could be that your body has just gotten too used to what you're doing currently.
