Hello there! :wave: I'm new on this subforum, but I hope it's ok to jump in this thread even mid-month? I don't really feel that "featherweight" though as I'm still overweight (I'm really short, 158cm), but numbers-wise this seems like the place for me. :)

I really hope to get out of the 140s this month. Let's make that a goal.

SW: 143.2

:welcome2: pigeon!

October start weight: 132.6
October goal weight: 131.2 (below the lowest weight I have seen in 6+ years) = –1.4 pounds
REAL October goal weight: 129.8 = –2.8 stinkin' pounds


Oct 01 -- 132.6
Oct 02 -- 132.8
Oct 03 -- 132.6
siiiiiick and binging on bread, bagels etc :( I saw 136s on the scale...
Oct 11 -- 134.8
Oct 12 -- 133.8
Oct 13-18 -- Away, no WIs
Oct 19 -- 135.6 [+3 pounds from Oct 1]

I have been SO off the rails with carb-binging! No chance to meet my goal this month now. My new goal for the last 2 weeks of October is to get back on track with eating and *walk* for even like 20 minutes every day. This is just getting obscene how sedentary/desk-bound I am and how much I am struggling with carb cravings.

Sept. finish - 108.7

Oct. goal - hopefully something below 107.15.

10/1/15: - 109.1
10/2 - 109.3
10/3 - 107.8 (finished cals early yesterday, to try & get a better weigh-in today. It worked! )

10/4: Unofficial weigh-in - 107.6

10/5: 109.2
10/6: 109.7
10/7: 109.6
10/8: 109.4
10/9: 108.6
10/10: 109.0

Unofficial weigh-in, Sunday, October 11: 107.5

10/12: 109.6
10/13: 109.6
10/14: 109.6
10/16: 109.6
10/17: 108.8 - mowing really helped! Hope to get some serious house washing done today...

Unofficial weigh-in: 107.4 Did not make weight until 8:33 p. m.! After...

1. Cleaning the eaves the night before
2. On weigh-in day: dancing for an hour, scrubbing the outside of the house for two hours, running/walking for an hour, weed-eating the front and the back yard, and run/walking for another hour!

This is not really a sustainable approach, obviously. I'm hoping when the quinoa (temporary free-calorie food) runs out in a few days, I'll be back to something much more reasonable in the way of reaching weight (a tiny, tiny goal of one-tenth of a pound a week!) without hours and hours of activity. It's Sunday, after all! ;)

I think it's going to be helpful to you that you're really aware of what's going on. I see on these boards so much that people started going off the rails and a year later they were surprised they'd gained so much. You being here, weighing in, will prevent that scenario. :hug:

Thanks! Yes I have been sick for a while and just gave up on trying to keep low carb. My problem is that there is no in-between, I am low(ish) carb or complete free for all, gorging myself ... you're right at least I am aware of the problem.

Hunger- your house must be spotless by now! That being said good job :D

I actually ate really well on the first trip, party because I brought most of my food and found one of those Mongolian BBQ's for lunch so I could pick what went in the food.

This weeks trip is the real test, with hotel stay plus lots of eating out. What might help is all the exercise I will get walking around town.

Thank you! Hopefully it will be totally ready for guests by the time the holidays roll around.

It's fun being creative with ways to save calories, and the Mongolian BBQ idea is the perfect example. Lots of flavor and interest, but not as many calories as some other choices. Brilliant! :broc::hungry:

I would love to get to the point that I used to be: able to eat carby things in normal amounts without bingeing. With my tendency to gain weight in the last few years, and through trial-and-error, I know I can't eat a lot of carbs and maintain a decent weight.

The good news is that I am finally at a weight that I consider acceptable and that I did maintain around this weight a few years ago for ~1.5 years without any real effort beyond "be reasonable" about food choices, like normal portion sizes... Then the binge problems began again and my weight shot up 20+ pounds. It's a constant struggle for me to eat healthy - it's NOT a natural response for me, I have to think about it all the time :p ... I think the only thing that saves me from myself is constant planning and regular weighing (though my clothes pretty much give me the same info). I am expecting to have to do this to some degree forever.

I'm at a conference for 2 days - we'll see how that goes. I don't have much control over dinners so I'll just try to not overeat. For the rest of the time, I'll be OK and I'll try to walk as much as possible.

HungerWerks - thanks, that's a great thread BTW! :D And yeah, I'm snacking on berries while typing this, trying to avoid going out in the cold to exercise. :D Oh I'll go I'll go. I know my body really craves a good sweat right now.


Edit: Well, I did go out to exercise, properly dressed and fuelled, and had great time! :D

I was sick for two plus weeks and found out what working out once a week does. Hoping to get back.

Goal- 118 again would be nice :)

I'm still sick week four. The cough is getting better. I think my new moldy classroom at work has caused my asthma to return, hence the perpetual cold.

The good news is that I am finally at a weight that I consider acceptable and that I did maintain around this weight a few years ago for ~1.5 years without any real effort beyond "be reasonable" about food choices, like normal portion sizes... Then the binge problems began again and my weight shot up 20+ pounds. It's a constant struggle for me to eat healthy - it's NOT a natural response for me, I have to think about it all the time :p ... I think the only thing that saves me from myself is constant planning and regular weighing (though my clothes pretty much give me the same info). I am expecting to have to do this to some degree forever.

October start weight: 132.6
October goal weight: 131.2 (below the lowest weight I have seen in 6+ years) = –1.4 pounds
REAL October goal weight: 129.8 = –2.8 stinkin' pounds
REVISED October goal, after illness gain: get back to Oct 1 weight = 132.6 :p

Oct 01 -- 132.6
Oct 02 -- 132.8
Oct 03 -- 132.6
Oct 04-10 siiiiiick and binging on bread, bagels etc :( I saw 136s on the scale...
Oct 11 -- 134.8
Oct 12 -- 133.8
Oct 13-17 -- Away, sick, no WIs
Oct 18 -- 135.6
Oct 19 -- 134.6
Oct 20 -- 134.0
[+1.4 pounds from Oct 1]

I'm at a conference for 2 days - we'll see how that goes. I don't have much control over dinners so I'll just try to not overeat. For the rest of the time, I'll be OK and I'll try to walk as much as possible.

I feel like we're in the same boat in a lot of ways: We've gotten to a good weight, but we're also to where we need to constantly be cognizant of what we're eating, and will probably have to do that until the foreseeable future.

I, for one, feel resentment at that, but I also feel resentment about having to do dishes every day, day in and day out, until forever. It's egregious, but it results in good things - ironically enough, clean dishes to eat that carefully chosen and measured food off of. This may go in that category covered by the Serenity Prayer, under "things we cannot change." Unless we find a magical potion that will let us eat what we want, whenever we want. Please let me know if you come across one of those, would you? :carrot:

Edit: Well, I did go out to exercise, properly dressed and fuelled, and had great time! :D

Thank you - there are so many great contributions from across the forum. Free foods are a very happy-making topic! :broc:

Way to get out and exercise. Sometimes, for me, at least, the hardest step is from "I'd love to get out" to "I'm out!" :)

I was sick for two plus weeks and found out what working out once a week does. Hoping to get back.

Goal- 118 again would be nice :)

I'm still sick week four. The cough is getting better. I think my new moldy classroom at work has caused my asthma to return, hence the perpetual cold.

So sorry to hear that. I worked at a place one time where the owners did not know that another store in the area had mold and ventilation problems, and it spread to our store. We all felt the effects. I hope whatever's going on where you are can be fixed soon. :hug:
