Hey all. I will do personnals later, Im a bit bummed out right now.
Just spent the morning at the clinic, I've got soe infection in one of my eye, it's puffy and painful, and the doctor told me to trash my contacts. I wear hard contacts and I don't have the moneyyyy to get new one. Talk about bad news... Duuuuh Plus it's cold and rainy here. And my boyfriend is still away. Am I too old to crawl under a blanket and drink hot chocolat beverage all day!?? |
You're never too old for that. I'm so sorry your eye's infected! Do you have glasses you can wear for now?
|
Crazygurl61 - Fun! Enjoy Disney!
krampus - Awesome! Nice work! sontaikle - Not there yet, but I'm sure that's frustrating. TurboMammoth - Ugh, yes. I wear contacts too (although not the hard ones) and pitching them is best. Otherwise that infection will just come back. Sucks though. Mine are expensive too due to a bad astigmatism in one eye. Hubby and I are thinking of signing up for a Spartan Race this summer. 8 mile obstacle run. Not sure if I'm crazy but could be loads of fun (unless I'm one of those taken away on a stretcher!) So excited to hit 140 this morning, although I went to Bikram last night so thinking some of that is water weight. Know I'll likely bump up tomorrow but still excited to see the scale there. A few bumps up but overall it's heading in the right direction. woo-hoo! |
Sontaikle - that is extremely frustrating!! I have a lot of loose skin on my stomach so I really feel you.
Turbo - Hugs :) Sorry you're feeling bummed, sometimes I crawl under a blanket and read all day even when I'm not sick! Dottie - Congrats on being down! I bet it's real weight loss, you probably rehydrated by now :) Jayohwhy - sorry your foot is bugging you, that really sucks! Feel better Krampus - that's so tiny!! Congrats, I can't wait til you hit 125 Crazygurl - have fun on your vacation!!! ~~~~~~ I've gotten a few days under my belt sticking to 1200-1400 and burning off about 400 with exercise , i'm hoping that I'll be able to drop a couple of pounds this week. I'm debating getting a digital scale, I can barely read the analog one ive got. I got asked to be a research assistant on another obesity study this fall at a major hospital here in Toronto. We're studying self esteem in men who are morbidly obese, I'm excited :) |
Ladies, this is a first for me, and so weird. My snack between breakfast and lunch was a banana - halfway through I was like, ugh I cant eat another bite. It's still sitting next to me at my computer. Lunch time I got about 3/4 through my Amy's Rice/Broccoli/Tofu bowl and couldn't eat another bite. It's still sitting next to me.
I had oatmeal for breakfast, but that's nothing new. This is such a weird (but good) feeling. I'm almost 4 weeks into my 'diet' (watching calories and not eating any junk - well not much of it anyway). I've always been an emotional/mindless eater. I could shovel crackers and chips in non-stop. And even though I was never that big I could go bite to bite with my husband and sometimes out eat him. Not proud of that, but it's true. I feel like perhaps my body is relearning what it feels like to be hungry and not hungry. These first few weeks have been hard - basically watching the clock wondering when my next snack or meal is going to be (and endlessly measuring EVERYTHING!). So not wanting to eat something feels weird! Anyway, back to work! |
jayohwhy: you can do it! You will get out of the 130s eventually. your fooddiary on MFP looks pretty decent!
crazy: have funnnnn!!! Makes me laugh that you brought your scale, hope it works. Hope you have a good time and not stress about weightloss too much. sontaikle: that must be annoying! is it a lot of skin? I don't know how bad it is but I hope it will fade back over time, you are doing so awesome. Should get rewarded for that! Turbo: sorry to read about your eye issues, hope it heals up quickly. Are you still running 16k this weekend? If so - goodluck! I am attempting 12k. Lisa: Sounds like you are doing an awesome job! How cool about the research-position. Have you done something like that before? Dottie: it's nice when our body stops screaming for food huh? Hihi. I heard that your stomach can expand and get smaller depending on what it's used to, would seem logic to me. -- So after my dramatic whining the other day I am slowly dropping weight again. Yay for that! Also been perfectly on plan. Just did my 3rd run this week (did 6miles, 4.4miles and 3miles) I hope to do 7.5miles this weekend. I qm not eating a lot at the moment, I try to eat 1400 calories + 25-40% of my exercise calories but I've not been near that. My desire for food is changing in a weird new way. I was already not hungry much or craving stuff badly, but I was very much thinking about food because I planned my calories ahead and googled for recipes to have as much for as few calories as possible. I stopped doing that thinking I have a basic idea of what are good choices and what I need. But now that I don't give food so much thought, I sort of almost forget to eat. I'm also vegetarian again, so I don't eat my moms dinner anymore or all the other great high fat/calorie stuff she prepares with meat. So that and having to actively think about food to 'desire' it and then the effort of thinking up something I feel like having - just has me grabbing a PB jelly sandwich a bunch of times just to get to my calories. Or nuts and dades. Or adding extra olive oil to what I am making. I don't even need that many calories a day. But it feels like a chore getting to them. It's also weird because a lot of foods that I know are not something my body really needs, I just don't want to wast the calories on. Like when I have a few crackers with something. I only have as much as necesary to toss my shrimp salad on. But no more. I think the "food is fuel" thing is slowly getting hold of me. Have to get more calorie dense "whole" foods I think. |
krampus : holy moly, 127.5! rock on girl!!!
DottieMae : the spartan race looks so much fun. my boyfriend wanted us to try it this year but we finally got in the Warrior Dash for this year, it's a shorter distance, and if we like it we'll definetely try the spartan next year! Lisa : how exciting about the new project!! obesity studying is SO important. i red an article this week that was saying that but 2030, a HUGE percentage of the american will officially be office. That is so scary. philana : that's a good thing to change the food habits,but you still have to enjoy what you eat and not just eat because well, you gotta eat. as you said, maybe something more fullfilling would help you (oh and yeah, still aiming for the 16k this weekend... good luck for your 12k!) *** thank you, ladies, for all your nice comments and thoughts. It really comforted me, i was BUMMED today, and with the boyfriend being still away, i was alone with all this. I tried to get an appointment to order new lenses (because I don't wear soft lenses : I wear hard ones that cost about 350$ a pair) and I only managed to get an appointment on may 25th. That is late. I have glasses that I can wear until then, but I hate wearing glasses... Like I can't wear sunglasses and it's such a pain in the *** to run with these. They always slide on my nose. I went for a 6k tonight and it drove me crazy, I'll be nuts during the long run. (and I CAN'T run without them. My eyesight is so so so bad) I have some kind of insurance on the glasses and lenses but I don't even know how this things work, i never had to deal with that, my mom used to do all of this. Oh well. I guess I still have until the 25th to figure out. Blah on the weight part, everything it doing okay. at least lol |
Hi everyone! Great job on the loss Krampus and Philana!
I was up a pound today but not a huge shocker because I had to get up super early and ate a late dinner with a glass of champagne...I am enjoying this convention. I am glad I brought the scale though because seeing the 1 pound reminded me I need to be conscious of what I'm eating, this is not a free for all!! Since my meetings were SO early I brought snacks and protein bars with my since I had no desire to get some huge breakfast. Today after my morning meetings I had time to go into Disneyland and my brother met me. We had Mexican for lunch, I willed myself not to eat the whole plate- I had 2 cheese enchiladas and only a little of the beans. Lots of water. Lots of walking. We had fun going on a lot of rides because it was not very crowded and a beautiful day today! Now I am unwinding before a hospitality party. I had an apple for a snack and plan to eat the appetizers at the party as dinner but not go crazy. Turbo hope your eyes feel better soon! Hi to everyone else and think good on-plan thoughts for me! |
Survived the modeling thing with my mom. It was pretty fun, though the makeup artist made me look like a light-skinned black man trying to look like an Asian female (I swear I'm not making this up). 127.5 this morning but my lunch today involved fettucine in cream sauce and I'm going out to dinner with bf and his mom and sister later.

Ladies, UGH I just went to Bebe and for some reason I decided to try on a dress. I have a gala in 1 month, and I though, oh why the heck not. Unfortunately my legs are the most stubborn area and I have fat knee syndrome - I see all these women of all weights and most of them put more weight in their hips than knees-this dress made em look so sausagey. I hope that losing the next 16 lbs will make my legs look a LITTLE better - even slightly skinnier knees will make me thrilled.I will use this as drive! Well, I hope that in 1 month, I hope that I can go one half-size down in that dress (or more). I am in between sizes. Satin can be so so cruel on the legs :( |
krampus- LOL. that happened to me once, we were in the philippines visiting family and i had a to have a second wedding reception there and the makeup artist who was a drag queen also made me look like one!
philana- thanks for the vote of confidence. you are doing really well! turbo- i hope your glasses stuff gets sorted soon. crazygurl- it sounds like you had a great time! _____________________ so this week has been tough work wise. last night i decided to let loose and hit a gastropub for a late dinner with the husband. i finished my first ever full glass of wine without feeling sick and had a good time. on a side note: have you ever been disliked by coworkers for doing a good job? |
pixellate Those dresses aren't flattering on anyone! Seriously that's the worst style. As for your knees, do you run or do lower body weights or anything? Obviously it's not the same as sucking the fat off with a vacuum but it might speed things up.
jayohwhy First ever full glass of wine?! Wow. |
I am just on my game again!
Went running 3 times this week, swimming once, to the gym this evening. Gonna go skating tomorrow and do my weights and sunday I am gonna run 12.5k. HA! Also weighed in at 134 this morning. Solidly. So that's cool. I am pretty convinced that if I keep it up I can reach my 125 goal by the end of june like I want to and my 120 goal by my bday the end of july. Yay! |
pixellate : I do agree with krampus, those dress look cute on models and that's pretty much the only people that they fit well LOL
philana : right on girl! jayo : sometimes letting loose it all you need! *** WI at 134.4 this morning, so that 0.6 lbs since last friday WI. Totally cool with that. I'm thinking about starting the maintaining part pretty soon anyway. I went grocery shopping and I have the firm intention of indulging tonight on some kind of special K new crackers that taste like chips. I'll probably scream about the scream and water retention but of well. I feel I need the indulging part after this crappy week ;) |
Hi everyone! You are all doing so well unlike me. I feel stuck :-(. Holding steady at 137.8 this am. Sore and probably a little bloated but I did not overindulge. Getting ready to go out to a bar for dinner- having a salad or something healthy!
|
Hi everyone! Sorry I fell off the face of the earth for a few days... But I'm back! Finals were crazy so I didn't get on 3FC much, but now that I'm home fore the summer I'll have lots of time to check in! Sounds like everyone's doing great! Krampus great job staying in the 120s! crazygurl, i feel stuck too! it is so hard to keep up healthy habits when people around you are doing so well and you are just not! it should be the opposite - i'm trying to see others success as an inspiration, but lately i've just been feeling sorry for myself and then turning to food. my dad's lost almost 100 pounds now! he looks amazing and i'm trying to turn to him for help/advice/motivation.
i'm going to England next month which has really helped to motivate me. i've been doing really well with exercise (jillian michaels ripped in 30 every day, running 5 days a week, and strength training three days a week) but i've been eating my way through these workouts :( temptation seems to be everywhere. i got in a car accident last night, which has seemed to completely take away my appetite (at least for today) so i'm hoping it will stay that way and it translates into some seriously weight loss! then at least one good thing will come out of the accident! |
magsabags Are you OK after the accident?!
Ate EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD yesterday, but TOM came. Not being pregnant is worth feeling gross and fat as a result of inhaling party food. Very high weigh-in this morning - 131.0, blech. |
Hey everyone!! Back into the chat and time to catch up :)
I love the warm weather! I'm so glad I bought shorts, haha! Although I am addicted to buying clothes now...lucky there is an outlet mall near my fiance. I was going through my photos and I couldn't believe the difference in myself. Still can't quite wrap my head around how much smaller I am. I just updated my goal post because I don't have a picture of me at 115lbs there. Here's me on a recent shopping trip: http://healthplusfifty.files.wordpre.../photo_115.jpg Also I HAVE A BIKINI. I managed to find a nice bottom that is reminiscent of retro bikinis (because there is wayyy too much loose skin otherwise, haha, maybe next year I'll wear something skimpier :lol:). I can't wait to wear it :D jayowhy - I do a lot of my eating earlier in the day and I like it. I do a reverse IF usually, where I end eating for the day at around 5 or 6pm and don't start up again for 12 hours later. I wake up hungry too, and I've always been that way :) And the wine...oh gosh, I think the last time I had a full glass of wine was four years ago, LOL. I cannot handle my alcohol. krampus - ugh :( stupid TOM, feel better! TurboMammoth - congrats on the loss! :) DottieMae - The Spartan Race sounds fun :) I'm JUST teaching myself how to respond to hunger cues and all that. It's been hard to undo a lifetime of bad eating habits, but it's been a learning experience. Lisa - congrats on being a research assistant!! :D philana - Sometimes I get into that mode too, where I'm not getting enough calories. Good luck. crazygurl61 - sounds like you had a fun time :) pixelllate - I bet you looked great in the dress right now! But I totally understand your frustration! :( good luck!! magsabags - I hope you're ok!! :( |
magsabags - oh no, hope you're ok (and not too much damage to the car). Jealous of your upcoming trip to England. I love to travel.
krampus - I'm sure that number will drop in a day or two. Party food is tough to avoid. sontaikle - you look adorable and I love your hair! I felt like this weekend was pretty good to me, other than the slight fever I was running earlier today. Managed to avoid some pretty bad foods on Saturday. But what did the husband & son decide to get me for Mother's Day? AN ICE CREAM MAKER! Gah! He KNOWS I'm on a diet, but sheepishly said, "but I know you mentioned wanting one a couple of months ago..." Of course the 4 year old was jumping up and down - let's make ice cream mommy! I only at about half a cup but man was it good. Stayed solidly around 140 this weekend but hoping I don't jump up too much tomorrow! |
crazygurl : don't panic to much on your weight when you're not at home : the stress doesn't worth it. make healthy choices and you'll get through it! ;)
krampus : I ate all the things in the worlds too this weekend, I'm on the same boat as you.. oh god magsabags : omg are you okay? sontaikle : god you're so slim! I love the shorts!! DottieMae : an ice cream maker? what a perfect gift to give to someone who's dieting LOL **** Hey all! Hope you had a nice weekend. Mine can sum up by : I hate too much (on saturday). But it was junk food at the stadium (a not so good hotdog, a piece of pizza (it was huge...) a beer, a diet coke, some doritos... seriously I felt my stomach had a hole an wasn't ever filling up. At least for diner we had some nice sushis and I did not eat to much of them (I had a piece of cake I baked to celebrate the boyfriend return...oh well) At least I burned like 1000 calories with my 16k run yesterday but I was still up to 136.8 lbs this morning. I'm bloaty and really need to poop though... I'll drink tons of water in the next few days, the biggest part of it will eventually go away. On the good side, the soccer game on saturday was awesome and the Montreal team tied up LA galaxy 1-1. Plus Beckham is so freakin sexy, omg omg. Seemed to have a bit of a temper on the field but SO SEXY LOL |
130.5 this morning blargh but I got up and went to the gym and did my routine Monday workout before work because my uncle is visiting from Michigan this week. At least there's that, and I know my weight will go down as TOM cruises through and I eat vegetables again.
Me and mom from modeling thing w/ladyboy makeup: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...66191905_n.jpg sontaikle LOOK AT YOU!!! You look amazing and super fit! DottieMae An ICE CREAM MAKER - dayum! Enjoy it! TurboMammoth 16K is impressive! I'm so glad you got to see Beckham, he is a fox. |
sontaikle- congrats on finding a bikini you like! i am looking for a cute bottom that covers stuff. i know i'm smaller now, but some bottoms seem too bare for me!
krampus- OH MAN you know that i understand that icky pms feeling. :/ i'm due to start on wednesday, and it's like, ugh! turbo- nice job keeping active! beckham is definitely some eye candy! dottie- good job keeping your portions in control, especially with freshly made ice cream around crazygurl- keep at it, you've got this! ------------------- this weekend was nonstop activity to the point where i didn't have time to work out. i went to a friend's birthday and my thin friends kept on telling me how thin i look. i think it helped with my body image issues- i know i'm thinner, but when it's someone larger who's saying it, i figure it's just because i'm smaller than them that i look quite thin, but when it's someone who's always been thin, it means something different to me, does that make sense? it's also been weird to wrap my mind around the fact that instead of trying to adorn the body i've got (i.e. spending my time and money looking for more clothes, makeup, accesories, and getting pedicures), my taste has changed and i'd rather spend the money on a yoga class working out the body that is under the clothes? maybe for me regular shopping, i.e. once a week, was a quick fix to make myself feel pretty/sexy again, versus now where i feel like there is something even more constructive i can do to make that happen. i've been on the search for a more local yoga studio-- i was driving 17 miles to get to my other one and with traffic it was impossible to get out there and back and still have time for other things. i bit the bullet and signed up for the 8 classes a month autopay contract at a studio that is literally a mile way from my house. it comes out to cheaper in the long run, and i'm actually excited to have a local studio! i was away from my house all weekend and went two days without a BM. boo. :( |
Thanks ladies!! :)
It's very gloomy today and I have come down with a little cold. I was hoping to make it through my first year of teaching without catching anything, but getting to May is an accomplishment! :lol: I'm probably going to head home soon and take a nap. Hopefully that'll clear this out. I already feel quite a bit better, so I think it's already on its way out. DottieMae - I have an ice cream maker and I think it's the PERFECT thing for the summer!! There are some great recipes out there that let you make your own healthier version of ice cream. I'm planning on making some peanut butter banana ice cream with bananas and PB2! Healthy, low-cal and awesomely tasty! ;) TurboMammoth - oh god those huge slices of pizza, haha. They should be illegal. Congrats on the 16K!! Wow!! krampus - You are beautiful!! I love that dress! jayowhy - I totally get what you're saying. I have a good friend who is barely a 0, mostly 00 in most cases. She's always been very thin and is the exact same height as me (she barely weighs 100lbs, and I know this because she told me, haha). When SHE said "oh boy you look so good!!" or "you're so thin!!" I felt very different (in a good way) about my weight loss. |
Just want to say hello to everybody - I haven't been here in forever. Once I hit goal I just sort of drifted away from the site. But I think I want to focus on trying to gain muscle - we'll see how that goes. Anyway, I happened to check the site today because my husband has decided that he wants to give a low-carb way of eating a try, and I figured 3FC would have some great tips that I can use when trying to plan meals to cook for him. I told him I would try it with him but now I'm not sure how wise that would be.
Anyway, hope everybody is doing well, and Krampus, you look awesome in that photo! So pretty. |
Ignore this post if you like. :) I'm trying not to think about food so figured I'd write something here instead!
I just ate my afternoon snack (hard boiled egg & whole wheat crackers) about an hour early because I feel so hungry. Ha, and remember last week when I was so full I couldn't eat another bite.... Countdown to dinnertime...3 more hours! Oh and hoping the scale shows a nice drop tomorrow. :) Here's hoping you guys are having less trouble sticking to your diets today. I'm so scatterbrained and can't focus! |
sontaikle: you just look amazing!! You look strong and tiny at the same time. Love it. Hope you feel better soon though.
Turbo: conrgats on the 16k. I can't really comment on the sports stuff you write cuz I am just CLUELESS. The only thing I know is that my mom drew beckham the other day in Drawsomething (you guys know it?) as a tennisplayer and I laughed my bum off. Krampus: you'll drop back down to the 120s again soooon. Have anything fun planned to do with your uncle there? You and your mom look so glamorous! Was it fun? I was wondering the other day - how is the new job? Do you like it? Jayohwhy: Oh, I wanna do yoga too! What kind of yoga are you doing? fivestone: welcome to the chat! Hope you find the answers/help on 3FC. Super nice that you are willing to support your husband with the lowcarb. It's not an easy thing. Dottie: Aw, just drink water and tea and eat another eggwhite. Or just eat whatever - in the end it matters none if you stick to your plan generally the rest of the time. No fun in being hungry and doesn't do you any good either. Chances are you'll eat extra at dinner because you have been waiting for so long. -- I have SO much I wanna tell/talk about with you guys. Haha. I'll just do the stuff I wanna tell quickly: ->>After telling myself and people I know that someday I wanna have a roadbike I finally got one! A year ago or so when I started exercise I promised myself if I got fit by this sumemr I'd get one. And even though I don't have a lot of money, the way I've been exercising and dropping weight without buying new clothes or anything I felt like I deserved it. So I bought this one: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3484/168q.jpg I don't have a helmet yet, and also no shoes and padded shorts. I'll buy that when my paycheck comes in so have to be patient before I can ride. But I am in 7th heaven. ->> I really could no longer walk around in my gym clothes from like 35lbs ago, so I bought a new set - and this pic just shocked me again, because I really don't see myself like that, but it is me! http://distilleryimage3.instagram.co...381b3d7a_7.jpg ->> I ran 7.8miles yesterday! I've never gone that far, it took me exactly 1h30. I am psyched! I really run because I like it and not because it burns calories, and that's the best feeling ever. All those calories are a fun extra. What I wanna talk about; I notice the closer I get to goal the more I try to look at my body and compare it to other thin people I see. And I try to determine how I am going to decide I am pleased with my body. And then I see really skinny girls, and I still see them as sort of "fat". I don't think their body looks the way I would want my body to look. I know they aren't fat, but their body just doesn't look like it's well taken care of. Like she put work into looking good. Even when it's a hot model or a fashionista. I think I want my body to be skinny, but mostly I want it to look muscular. Strong. Like sontaikle actually! Now - a lot of you girls on here talk about lean instead of skinny and you all work hard to get fit. Do you ever feel like some skinny people are still fat? Or am I starting to really have a weird sense of what "fat" means? I can be pretty rational so if my train of thought is something completely weird that I should look into I am sure I can steer it in the right direction, just checking to see if I need to. |
Down on myself this week- not good weight wise :-(
|
crazygurl61 - your ticker says you've lost 15lbs so far. That's an amazing accomplishment due to all of YOUR hard work. I know it's hard not to get down on yourself but think back to that when you do.
philana - you look amazing! I wish I had the joy of running but I just don't like it. Maybe some day :) I think there's a difference between just being skinny and being fit. I have a good friend who has always been thin - she's barely 120 and 5'7" but she can't do anything athletic and doesn't exercise. That's not the thin I want to be. I had some cheese yesterday to curb my appetite yesterday and that helped. I've been working with an ~1650 calorie/day diet in order to just slowly lose 1/2 pound a week, but have been trying to eat more like 1400-1500 instead. So perhaps yesterday I just needed a little bit more. I was still around 1500. Went to Bikram last night and it was SO HUMID because it's been raining for several days. I made it through though! Scale has me down to 139.2 this morning! woo-hoo! I'm curious to see what tomorrow brings and if any of that was just water weight from class last night. Still that made me SMILE this morning. |
this thread is buziinnnng!
krampus : your mom and you look so cute, even if they were a bit too excited with the make up on you lol. I love your nude shoes! jayo : I do get you on the point of getting new sport stuff instead of new clothing. I know I need new bras an stuff but I can only thin about some new short and top to run! sontaikle : not being sick for a year is good! LOL consider yourself lucky! ;) fivestone : Hi to you too! :) Are you going to try the low carb thing with your husband? DottieMae : When this happens, I drink tea. Don't know why, but hot beverage sooths my hunger.I drink one after every lunch :) philana : first, nice gym outfit! I specially love the pants! Nice ride too! An congrats on the 7.8 mile! :) (wow, so much cool stuff in one single post LOL) On the more serious matter, I understand your point. When I was 50 lbs heavier, every girl lighter than me was ''omg she's so skinny I want to be like her'' But now that I lost weight, but mostly since I started to train more, my vision on girls that looked skinny to me a year ago changed. Now I can see they are skinny, but not fit. It makes you realize that after 1 year of dieting, it's still not what I want to be... (oh and the thing about your mom drawing beckham with a tennis thing litteraly cracked me up LOL!) *** Hey ladies! not much new, i did not weigh in this morning, I wasn't willing to face the water weight 2 days in a row lol. I'll weight until later in the week to sneak peak on the scale. I ran a 6k this morning with 2 faster interval of 1k. God it was hard, don't know if it's because I'm not a morning person or because the intervals were hard on me... It's probably both, I guess! I also started this new thing this morning , inspired by some kind of bikini bootcamp shape up I red on the Lauren Conrad website (yeah, I know... don't judge LOL) that suggest to do 50 crunch + 1 min of plank every morning and every night. I guess that can't be bad for the abs! |
philiana - you look awesome! really fit.
Turbo - that bikini bootcamp sounds awesome! crazygurl - hang in there :) Dottie- congrats on being down! I'm feeling really frustrated because I stayed between 1200-1400 calories and worked out 4x this week and im not down at all :( |
128.5 today. Going in the right direction. Big annual board meeting at work today so I'm busy and also irrationally excited about putting $97 worth of lunches on my Subway points card.
My size 4 Worthington brand suit from JCPenney is baggy now and the dress shirt is unwearable. Just the other day I couldn't zip juniors' size 7 shorts at Target though. Sizes are all over the place! LisaTcan That is frustrating but I'd be willing to bet it will show up next week! TurboMammoth That's not a bad idea about the morning and evening crunches and planks, I should do that! Intervals suuuuuuuck philana You're wasting away (in an exciting way)! I definitely notice bodily flaws in thin people too, which is stupid. Some of the models at the fashion show had no bodily flaws and that made me really sad and hopeless for myself for about two seconds. My job is OK, I'm the assistant to the director here and if you've seen my post counts on 3FC, well, sometimes I think I need more to do. Big board meeting today though which is exciting as I'll meet lots of other members of our organization! crazygurl61 Don't be down on yourself! TOM is a stinker and can really mess with your head. DottieMae Nice work being down, sometimes the only solution to hunger is eating...when hot tea and chugging water doesn't work. fivestone LONG TIME NO SEE! Nice to see you on here. How are you?! jayohwhy Thin compliments are definitely more meaningful coming from thin people. Do you get poop shy away from home? Haha sontaikle Get well ASAP! |
sontaikle - Wow I can def see definition - you look very slim and fit!!
krampus - You look great too! And the red dress looks really nice on you. The mermaid sillouette dress is very hard to pull off for most people! Funny thing is that thin people pics never make me envious, "fitspo" does though. Like if I look up fitspo I still the same hot blonde model, except this time she has muscle tone with some motto like "weights won't bulk you up, you'll look like this!" I just don't look at those pics anymore haha. philana - You look really fit even in a tee, I find tshirts hard to pull off ha. Do you mean "skinny fat"? The women in my fam are all tiny Asian women - small builds and while I am a smaller build than other people, I have a much bigger frame than them. The only non skinny fat one is my aunt who does yoga. I get paranoid about being skinny fat, and I will continue strength training, but maybe its better than my former self? (fat-fat?) LisaTcan and crazygurl61-My scale didn't move for a month and now it is starting to even though I didn't do anything differently! There's probably many possible reasons why but I wouldn't be too concerned unless its been many weeks! Turbomammoth-My strength training exercises are the ones that the VS models do (I just google VS workouts on youtube), yes with the mini weights haha. Theyre challenging for me, so I'll stick with it for now! fivestone-Hello! Glad you are back OK so there was some mother's day deal on bebe, sooo I ordered the green dress. I can zip that thing up, so I am assuming that that means that I am a "half size" away from fitting properly in it, and I think that with a month of hard work, I can do it! Plus I saw it on the manniquin, it doesn't fit like how it does on the website, I think its the material, it just hugs the skin even when I went up a size, not that I will! hahah I snapped a pic real quick of the actual dress to show you how it actually looks in real life - no forgiveness and all the more incentive for me! EDIT-This is the manniquin not me http://oi45.tinypic.com/333k7j4.jpg |
pixellate Is that a mannequin or you? Cause if it's you, 14 lbs and you'll be a skeleton. I don't need fitspo when I have 3FC featherweights around. Do you ever feel cheated because of your small frame? I'm 5'5 so I'm tall (I guess not really by Korean standards though), but I think I am "supposed" to weigh < 115 pounds. Still have lots of wobbly bits everywhere and no bones.

I do feel cheated ugh. I read "petite" blogs and most of them are asians and they weigh 90 something lbs and are around my height - the thing is because of their frame they look simply small and slim. Its like...its just so esay to look stocky with a tiny frame and a heavier weight. And I feel like no matter what I do, I still sorta take after how all the women look in my fam, who just watch what they eat-sorta soft and small, which is why I think that many Asian women can "pull off" a small size and weight without looking skeletal. When I say that I am small, people are like "I wish I was like that" because I think that they assume that even if you gain extra weight, you'll be like max a size 6 or something. At 5'5'' I def consider you Asian tall! |

okay, i've decided to go from calorie cycling to the same calorie count every day because i was "binging" on my high calorie days, i.e. i was using it as an excuse to overeat.
has that happened to any of you? |
Quote:
So yeah, it's happening to me all the time LOL |
I eat a lot more on weekends and tend to be heaviest on Sunday morning and lightest on Friday morning...so yes, I guess? I don't count calories currently because I can lose weight without doing so (and all the numbers crunching makes me feel trapped).

127.0 this morning after a 2 mile treadmill run, coffee and poo. Yoshhhhh! This puts me at exactly 1.5 kilos away from my lowest adult weight.
|
134.2 lbs this morning after drinking my life away for the past 2 days and pooping.
Feels good to be back to a lower weight, the 136's freacked me out! |
