Weight is still really high. I don't want to record it :(
Exercise always throws it higher. I'm going to continue with the exercise though, for stress and shape benefits. I was starting to like my shape, but I have been looking very bulgy and doughy since I stopped exercising.

Back on soy milk and have cut out energy drinks and replaced with Hairy Lemon (don't laugh, it's like Berocca without the nasty chemicals haha - do you have this in the US?)

Hairy Lemon...too funny! I don't know if we have that! Looks healthy!

Hunger - Yes! Onward and DOWNWARD!!!

Oh, I've got a bunch that need photoshopping, too! I'm looking at them, going "I don't look like that!" Hey, same thing happened this last week when I went legging shopping. Those dressing room mirrors are BRUTAL! :fr:

Good going on the calories! :broc: I haven't exercised all week, as I'm preparing for company, and am exceedingly slow, I mean careful, with the preparation. There will be vacuuming and mopping, though, so maybe that will help. :p

I don't think we should write our weights if we don't want to. Mine is higher than this time last week, which is unusual, and I may end up just straight-up water fasting tomorrow.

Congrats on the loss! :carrot: Also on switching to something you feel is better for your health. I know I love anything lemon, but I've never seen one of those. :D

It's funny how we are getting annoyed with our weight! I didn't want to post mine either, but I'm trying to post every day. Gaining weight for no apparent reason makes me crazy. I just ate way too much, probably because I'm home alone and don't have my husband watching me inhale way too many calories

Peanuts and Raisins and Water, Oh, My!

Know the feeling! I piled a plate full of unshelled peanuts the other day - I mean they were about to fall off the edge of a huge dinner plate - and I hoped hubby wasn't paying attention, lol. :D

I ran five miles yesterday to get back on track and walked four the day before. That helped. On Monday and Tuesday I didn't work out and gained two pounds. It's gone down a little with the exercise. This is definitely an incentive to work out more. We were off last week, so I was more motivated.

Hope everyone has had a great week!

128. There, I said it. I have kept my calories at 1200 the last 4 days. Still hoping to get back into the exercise groove. Still sleep deprived, but working on that as well.

Jen - thank you! have a great weekend :)

Hunger - LOL! I'm nuts about nuts :)

February was bust. Looking forward to starting a new month tomorrow! Shooting for a 1 pound loss per week to get to 123. Gonna make it happen!

Jen, that is some MAJOR running! I have run in the past, so four and five miles is nothing to sneeze at. I've run a few 5Ks (3.1 miles) and it dang near killed me! Did win one in my not-to-be mentioned age group. :D

Kifli, it takes so much strength to do 1200 calories a day - and it certainly paid off! Congrats on the loss, and on your resolve. We are successful when we find what works for us. ;)

Definitely More Exercise Next Week!

1/29/15

Waist: 31
Hips: 35.5

2/20?/15

Chest: 33.5

Hips: 34.5

Amazing! I took a couple more, that I'll put here for posterity:

Forearm: 8.25
Wrist: 5.75

Still not sure of my fat percentage, but one reading said I hadn't changed at all, and still had a body fat percentage of 31%. :?:

Measurements at last official weigh-in for February, 2/27/15:

Chest: 33.25
Waist: 29
Hips: 33 & 7/8 (33.87?)

2/22 - 118.3 (weekend food baby PLUS wet hair, lol); 2/23 - 116.7; 2/24 - 115.6

2/25 - 115.2 (800 calories, same for two previous days each)

2/26 - 114.1 (Total fast, except for cup of coffee with one TBL. heavy cream, vacuumed and mopped whole house, which was first exercise of the week)

2/27 - Official weigh-in weight: 111.4 (First weigh-in of the day: 112.3. Jogged/walked for two hours, including over 300 jumping jacks during commercials. Got up before 7 a. m. and did not reach goal until after 1:30 p. m.! Will be adding more exercise next week, and taking vitamins with regular meals four days a week, thus only adding 200 calories for a fifth day of morning vitamins, when I eat my main meal in the evening and don't want to take energizing vitamins then. :carrot:)

Calories for Friday and Saturday: 3000+ calories each day.

Nice numbers, Hunger!!!
Curious as to what kind of vitamins you take?
That is, if you get this message :)
