Oh same here, Carri. I just "forget" from time to time. I don't realize how overweight I am until I go to try on clothes or something cruel like that. Man, I hate being up close and personal with myself in front of those mirrors. Then it's all, "Oh yeaaaaaaah... I really am fat."
Enough! I haven't had the greatest of weeks -- I'm sick and that always makes everything harder. Nevertheless, going to weigh in tomorrow and hope for the best. Let's make this a good one! |
Well we decided to start a small work challenge here for weightloss...no big money involved just that the winner gets lunch out on everyone...starting Monday...I dont like starting on Mondays so I will probably do it on Saturday....wish me luck :carrot:

Here to report on HORRIBLE WI
This is just nasty -- 222. Thanksgiving + sick all week (why can't I be one of those people who lose their appetite instead of someone who loses their willpower when I'm sick?).
All right. I came in and 'fessed up. Now to get back to regularly scheduled programming. Good luck with WI, Carri! Hope it's better than mine. |
I know Arabella, I feel pretty nasty about myself too, but in the big scheme of things I know that my 20 pds over or your 22 pds over 200 is not that horrible...we could still get into Onederland pretty easily if we just get focused....I am willing and I know you are ...here is too a great loss by next Friday :hug:
|
'Tis true, focus will get us there. I had a good day yesterday -- I'm starting to recover from my flu, so that'll make it easier. We can, absolutely CAN get to Onederland in December. Let's do it! :cb: :cb:
|
well it was worse than I thought ....224 actually this morning...so I guess that is where I am starting from today ....:( and like you said Arabella it is just nasty ....but oh well, moving forward ....today is a new day !!!
|
Let's go Monday!
Hi Satine!
In the grand scheme of things, a couple of pounds isn't going to make a big difference in how long it takes us to reach our goals. I'm leaving for the UK next Tuesday, though, and I have to get my head straight that it's not going to be a diet vacation. Nuh-uh. Once I have that straight, it's not usually that hard. And being with DH 24/7 will help too. I always do my worst damage when I'm alone. :s: Three good days down now. :cb: :cb: :cb: Let's git 'er done! ;) |
oh me too, I can really do some eating when I am alone, haha ...well I made it through the first full day without having anything I shouldnt :carrot: stayed within my calories...so I feel good about that but realize it is only one day ....but looking forward to many more OP days!!!
A vacation to the UK? that sounds like alot of fun ... |
Every day makes the next one easier! I know when I'm off-plan, on a streak of doing my fancy eating in the afternoons, I wake up feeling like **** in the mornings. Ugh! If only I could remember that at the same time as I remember there's pie and ice cream in the freezer...
But doing well now and intending to keep doing well. I'm loosely following the flat belly diet and it seems to help keep things in control. If we keep on going we'll get there -- so let's keep on going! Seen auntie_g around? Wonder how she's doing? |
well today is the third day, I would say I was about 200 cals over last night where I wanted to be, but not horrible....try to get it back down next week, start at higher this week to get my body used to it.
Yeah I hear from Auntie G on facebook alot, we dont talk diet usually, who knows she might show back up on here still having trouble with my teeth, had my bite adjusted twice now, last time yesterday so hoping that will help..they have been sore for about a month now, ever since I got a crown that made my bite off....ah such is life I guess... have a good day Arabella!! |
Say hi to Auntieg for me and tell her I miss her!
Still sick here, still haven't lost. I feel like I'm retaining water so at some point I'm hoping to have a good loss. I've actually done pretty well since I hit the low point on my ticker, definitely don't deserve 4 pounds up. :no: We're leaving for Ireland and England Tuesday evening -- that'll be two weeks away from the scale. Somehow I've gotten to the point where it's just barely possible that I could be in Onederland by the end of the year. Ouch! Sorry about your tooth trouble -- hope last adjustment fixed it! K, let's get out there and do our best! xo Arabella |
Hey, girls! Any hope of getting going here again???
|
Oh Auntie_g! :hug:
YEAAAAAAAAAH -- Let's KICK IT! Will be back in with report & etc. later. |
OK, I updated my numbers for the new year, and I am officially back on the train. As you may recall, last year went totally astray for me, what with all the death and destruction in my family. But I keep telling myself that it's a new year, clean slate, all that kind of happy hoo-ha, so here we go.
I started back on the wagon on the 4th, and I've been pretty solid. I'm actually in the midst of a health scare right now, but I'm not going to let it derail me! I can't really do any serious exercise until I know what's what, and it's been too brutally cold to even go out walking this week, but I can eat right! Sooooooo, how are you doing??? I'm glad you're still here, Arabella! And if Carri doesn't show up soon, I'll go fetch her on Facebook! |
Back on the train
And no stops. I just read through this thread and saw myself gaining in fast-forward. Gah. How those little bump-ups add up.
Despite all, I'd gotten down to about 205 in June/July and then was up to 217 in September. I saw I was 222 end of October and 226.8 after Christmas. Gee whiz. I always swear I won't stop weighing myself and then... I do. Time to look after myself. And I've started the new year off well. I've got a new work space so I'm out of the house. The afternoons home alone have been my downfall the last 10 years. I'm exercising lots, having some fun and eating properly. And I will continue! Auntie_g, you really did have a terrible year. :hug: Hope the health scare turns out to be nothing more than a scare. These are the times when it's MOST important to look after ourselves. :yes: Let's treat ourselves with the tender loving care we need and deserve. Believe it or not, I've got my two final holiday parties tonight. Have planned for them and will do what I say. Friday is WI... Let's make this a good one! |
