Hey Satine -- Going counts, however we do it!
I've just started counting points again today. Will get through this one -- no slacking! :nono: Hope your withdrawal's over! |
Morning Girls....well I have made it on plan for three whole days !!! :carrot: I will take it ! :) Just today I am feeling less bloated and not as fat in my clothes...I am down 3 pds but I know the first of it is water weight that comes off quicker, but hey it makes me feel better ....
Now if I can just get through the weekend !!! How are you all doing? Carri |
Errr... today?
Not so good. Fresh start tomorrow. |
Good Morning ....well my week of staying on plan was a success AND I was down 4 pounds for my efforts ....I was super excited...I know the first 10 come off faster since they are mostly water but still to see the numbers drop on the scale was great ....
I only have 5 months till we leave for FL, I would like to have off 30-35 pds by then ....hope it is do-able .... :o) How are you guys doing? Carri |
Wow, Carri, congrats! That is excellent -- so nice to be rewarded for good behavior.
Myself, I'm trying for 28 pounds in a little under four months. I think both our goals are totally doable. The only thing is -- we've got to work it to make it work. Funny -- I've just been sitting here thinking about going off-plan. Now? Not gonna do it. I just had a half sweet potato with a t of becel for a snack. That'll do me till dinner :yes: Got in my steps, went to the gym, did some yoga. Why blow it? Let's not. |
Morning Ladies….didnt have too good of a Easter weekend…ended up getting a nasty cold that I am at work with today. I did visit my parents Sat night and was with dh’s parents for lunch on Sunday, we went to Longhorn Steakhouse, I had this new chicken dinner with mushrooms, not so good …of course with my cold I wasn’t tasting things right.
I am officially down 6 pds since I began back on strictly on March 24th…so I guess 6 pds in a little over 1 and a half weeks…I will take it …I am back in the 220’s at least but cant stand those….wont feel good about myself until I am in the single digits of the two’s …then I know I am near Onederland again … Did you guys have a good Easter ? :easter2: Carri |
I hear ya!
I'm trying not to get too bent out of shape at myself for gaining back so much weight. I got down to 204 and back up to 228. :shrug: Nevertheless, the only way is FOREWARD. :yes: I've done a flip around on the point-counting thing. In another thread, I was looking back at what I did to lose 60 pounds 20 years ago. It was from a book -- keep thinking it was The Setpoint Diet but I'm not sure. Anyway, it was about retraining to eat naturally. The focus was on eating when hungry, not otherwise and not agonizing over weight but just getting on with life. I did that, got lots of exercise and the weight fell off. For me, it's also essential that I only eat sitting at the table when I'm alone because I "lose" control sometimes otherwise. And mostly wheat and sugar-free, healthy carbs and not too many of them. Anyway, I was remembering how freeing that was -- once that plan's in motion, it's like giving up the obsession and misery. Behaving like a person with no food issues, working on having no self-image issues. I thought "Is there any reason I can't do that?" So that's what I've been doing the last few days and it hasn't been hard. I feel better. And, of course, life just seems so much easier and sweeter anyway with spring here. Carri, 6.5 in less than two weeks is fabulous! :woohoo: Hope you're feeling better! Where's our Auntie_g now? :flow1: :flow2: :flow1: :flow2: :flow1: :flow2: :flow1: It's SPRING -- let's hit it! |
Morning Girls….boy I have had a crummy last few days…I started getting a cold over the weekend and it just blew up on Monday…I was home sick Tues and Weds and back at work today…of course not feeling 100% but feeling better…I was able to get another two pounds off during it though, that is the great thing about colds and flu, no appetite for me , haha ….so am down to 227 …
Tried one of those new Subway breakfast sandwhiches this morning…the one with the egg white, black forest ham, and cheese on a wheat english muffin …the whole thing was only 160 calories…While it did taste good, and I appreciate the low calories , it was a little lacking …they only used one thin piece of ham and one slice of cheese…I know in trying to keep the calories down they had to cut some things but I would rather have double the ham than the cheese…might have to write them and make that suggestion. Arabella – I think that is a good idea, go back to what worked for you …don’t feel bad about being back up there, so am I …it really is depressing to be so close and shoot right back up but we did it to ourselves…so now we turn it back around, huh ? Hi Auntie G !!! Well have a good day, think of me here at work struggling to get through with my cold lol Hope you all are doing well. Carri |
Keepin' on keepin' on
Weighed in down 2 from last week, huzzah. Like you say, Carri, I know this approach works for me. It's a very interesting thing to do, psychologically. Really feels like part of what I'm giving up is the obsession, you know. That obsession that, honest to god, used up so much of my time and energy. Onward!
Bah for your cold but yay for losing appetite -- that's something that almost never happens to me. Have a fantastic weekend and if you see Auntie_g around anywhere, grab her, eh? :wave: |
Morning All ...well I had a good weekend...stayed on plan, actually went over calories though by 600 last night, the trainers on Biggest Loser say it is good to do that once in a while to keep your metabolism guessing...now I feel a little bloated though this morning.
I didnt weigh in yet, I think I have been obsessing over that, so I am not gonna get back on it until Friday...hopefully it will show some good numbers for my efforts. :) Arabella - 2 pds is great, so the not worrying about the diet so much is working for you...sounds freeing really. I am over my cold now and the appetite seems to be back with a vengeance, haha Well have a good day, will check in later. Carri |
Okay, Tuesday.
Came across Geneen Roth stuff in Oprah -- I remember reading a couple of her books years ago. Probably around the same time I lost all the weight. I was thinking, the funniest darn thing -- it was right before I started dating my husband. So that's where the whole weight thing went back to the seesaw gain/lose again. Yeah, I'm ready to give that up.
Carri, I heard Jillian say that same thing last week. I've heard other people say that worked for them but I don't think I've ever had any luck with it. A couple of indulgent days on the weekend seems to be enough to prevent me from losing for a week. :rolleyes: Auntie_g, happy belated birthday! :hb: We'd sure like to see you in here again. ;) Have a great day! |
Hi, girls! Haven't caught up and haven't gotten back on the wagon yet- there's still cake in the house- ;) I'll be back very soon.
|
Morning...weighed myself this morning and I have been stuck at the same weight for three days now...getting a little frustrated to not see it budge at all, but I will be patient :(
Auntie G - yay !! yes we need you back here...but like I said dont beat yourself up over the cake it was your birthday !!! :) Arabella - Yeah if I eat what I want all weekend it doesnt do anything but make me gain, but if I just have one cheat meal and go right back on then I seem to be good....I have to have a treat once in a while right ? I need more breakfast ideas to bring to work if you girls have any....I need something that is less than 30 carbs, low cal, and easy to fix at work. Okay see ya later. Carri |
Ugh I feel so terrible. Yesterday I was apparently 202. And I was on my way to onederland. But today I was 204. I didn't sweat it, I had drank a lot of water today and specialists say your weight fluctuates between 1 and 2 pounds every day because of bodily processes and eating, etc. But then for some reason, I decided I wanted some ice cream from the freezer. I said I would just have a little. But I ended up getting two servings! So I binged kinda. Only about 500 calories and I was nowhere near my set daily caloric limit. But I feel really bad about it even though tons of people binge way more than that when they binge. And now I feel terrible. Like I don't even want that in my stomach right now.

Morning Girls ...I just had one of those D'Light Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls with turkey sausage...pretty good and 23 grms of protein ...I usually dont care for turkey sausage but it wasnt too bad ..230 cals as well, so smart choice for breakfast and not alot of carbs...
Now that it is so nice outside it is SO hard for me to sit here in my cubicle and see the sunshine outside....it is torture to have to sit inside :D Gore - I hear ya...I normally dont even get to excited about Onderland until I am about 195, because weight fluctuates so much in a day that you can be over 200 and under all in the same day...I wouldnt sweat it you are so close I envy you :) And dont worry about the icecream...you had it, now you move on...keep up the good work ! Hi Auntie G and Arabella :hug: Later, Carri |
