Hello, lovely 140s chicks! It is time for me to admit that I have bounced back up into the 140s club. I was a founding member of the previous 130s thread since at least November of 2010 and I got as low as 131 pounds last May. Then I started creeping upwards, bouncing in and out of the 140s. Now I am firmly entrenched, beginning January at 145.4 and ending it at 143.4.
I haven't seen the 130s since Halloween
at 139.8.
I really have to figure out what I am doing wrong to gain back nearly 15 lbs that I worked so hard to lose. One problem is that I haven't been getting as much incidental exercise - mostly walking everywhere - as I was last year. I want to get on a regular weightlifting routine as well. I think my diet is back under control for now but I may consider dropping calories again. On On-Plan days, I average 1400 calories. I really don't want to go lower... I have already developed all kinds of odd binge-y issues now so it's hard for me to tell what is working, but I'm pretty sure 1400 calories of whole, low-ish carb food, is good for me IF I stick to it
Basically I just need to suck it up and stop being such a whiny baby about what I eat.
Right now my goal is to lose a mere 2 lbs per month and hopefully reach a happy weight by the END of this summer. Not very ambitious, but I want to focus on healthy diet choices, not having all-or-nothing mentality and becoming more physically fit even if I never lose another pound.
So I should be hanging in the 140s at least another 2 months or so.
for us all reaching our goals, or at least moving toward them
it always happens!
