I'm on day three of TOM and weighed in at 206.8 today.

Jasmine31: yeah my ticker still says 203.4 because I don't have the heart to move it up to my period weight! I've been doing some light cardio (interval on elliptical for 30 minutes) and I've been OP the last two days. I try not to eat back all the calories I burn off, usually I may eat back 50-100.

I'm just hoping for a big whoosh at the end of the week, I'm just feeling upset and like I've lost a lot of time and my hard work isn't paying off. Hormones aren't helping, hopefully next week will be better!

205.2 today A good recovery after a smorgasbord disaster.

[GettinFit]

Good morning everyone.

Sonickel - Glad you recovered nicely from your disaster.

Claygirl - I hope you get a whoosh soon but if not, hang in there and it will come.

I am inching down, today I weighed 217.8. It's coming off slow but I'm okay with that. I should take my measurements because I can see changes in my body and I'm able to fit clothes that I haven't worn in a long while.

Have a great day everyone and stay strong.

Dropped more than a pound from yesterday to today, so yes, the WHOOSH of the month has started.

Hooray!

Okay, I got ya. Makes sense

I do the same with my profile weight, I only change it if I have seen a new low. If it bounces back up, I leave it alone.

My ticker, I have been using the same website since I started this journey years and years ago.

I didn't realize right away, but eventually I noticed that even though I updated my ticker with new goals, new pictures, etc, it was keeping track of all my old weights!

Kind of cool.

I have had my fitday for years and years, there are times when I am not on plan for long periods of time, so I will ignore it, but will occasionally stop in and weigh myself and add it in.

So at various times over the years I have gone back and added past weights to my ticker.

Its kind of interesting to see it all.

So now what I do is I always change my ticker weight even if it shows an increase. just so I can keep track of the fluctuations.

Thats good your doing some kind of exercise.

I hope you see a really good # on the scale soon!

WTG!

I am inching down, today I weighed 217.8.

Thats great!

Guess who is now down a little over 30 lbs since my big restart in February of 2014?

THIS GIRL!!!



Yippeee!!!

I was doing my ticker for goals for just that month, but I changed it today.

My next big goal is to get to 174 lbs. I am hoping I can get there in time for my Birthday in December.

174 lbs at my height will put me right at the highest of the "overweight" category. I would no longer be classified as "obese".

The next big goal would be to get to 144 lbs, which would mean I would no longer be in the "overweight" category anymore.

Anyhow:

May I started on the 1st weighing 213.8, and I got to 208.2 on May 31st, but it temporarily bounced back up to 209.2 on my big weigh in day which was June 1st.

But then it was down again the next day to 208.2.

Yes the scale does bounce around during the month, but I was a little annoyed, cause I like the BIG weigh in day on the 1st of every month to be as perfect as possible.

To see what I have accomplished and to decide if I need to change anything in my plan.

I did tell myself in June my goal was to try to do 1700 daily average calories and then 80+ walking minutes for a daily average.

What I succeeded in doing was:

June average daily walking minutes: 87
June average daily calories: 1711
Beginning of month starting weight: 208.2 lbs
Beginning of new month starting weight: 202.4 lbs
Pounds lost: 5.8

So going with the 213.8 lbs to 208.2 lbs, that means I lost 5.6 lbs in May.

So for the month of June, I technically started out at 209.2, but I immediately discounted that 1 lb and attributed it to the month of May.

So if we assign the extra lb to May, then I started June 1st at 208.2, and then I weighed in today at 202.4!!!!!

YEAH!

That means I lost 5.8 lbs for June.

Hooray!!

I am excited!!

Okay well yesterday was a planned very high calorie day. I also had chips. And french frys.

I love home made frys, but make them maybe once a month.

Same with chips. Once a month.

What is really annoying is having to guestimate how many cals were in the french frys.

Today and tomorrow I will attempt 2 much lower cal days to offset July 1st.

July 4th, I need to make some room for dessert, but not go to crazy.

Bounce back today was not too crazy. 203.2 today vs. 202.4 yesterday, not too bad considering.

Hello ladies,

Jasmine - CONGRATS on your 30 pound loss since Feb You are doing a great job!

Berry - CONGRATS on your loss. Glad you're seeing some good results now.

Today I saw 216.8! I am so excited and motivated to keep going. My goal is to make it to onederland by Labor day. I think it's doable as long as I stay focused and committed to my program. I am so ready to see a 1 on my weight and not a 2!

Have a great Wednesday everyone.

[wishfuiiy]

I am hoping for onderland by August 1st. It is so freaking hard, and painful cause in November I WAS 200! I then lost my job, and ate my heart out. I got back up to 220, and I was like oh wait, noooo! Now, I'm back on plan. I've lost 10 pounds since memorial day so that's good.

You can do it! Even though you regained 20 lbs, you stopped yourself. You didnt keep on going.

You can get this under control again.

Just hanging in there. Really good cal day yesterday. need to have one more really good day to make up for July 1st.

[berryblondeboys]

Yep, this is why I started this thread. I was at a stall for a couple weeks and it was driving me crazy as 200 is in sight and I WANT TO GET TO IT. Being stuck between 213-214 for 2 plus weeks was getting really, really irritating. I want to get into the single digits!!!

This morning the scale heard me... It dropped more than a pound from yesterday - stupid scale! So... it's moving again... I hope!

[wishfuiiy]

Weighed on Tuesday was 209. I was 209 today as well. I hope to keep getting this dip in numbers. Proud of you ladies today!

[worththeeffort2]

209.6...another pound bites the dust!

[mamakat]

I've been recalling the last time I fell below 200. I had promised myself that I would run up the highest steps in town to the Rocky theme...and I did do that. Even posted it on Youtube. This time, I seem to be struggling with my emotions. I want Onederland, no doubt about it...but it disappeared so fast. One moment, I was stalled at 185 and the next I was 212 or so. I want to sing about being under 200 again (when the time comes), but I don't want to get too cocky. I know it's reachable, I was just there a few months ago, but at the same time, I now know I can lose it...I'm excited and depressed about the whole thing...I truly just want to see results of any kind, at this point.

[berryblondeboys]

That's exactly where I was mamakat and that's why I did this thread... that euphoric feeling I had, that invincibility feeling is GONE. I swore up and down I would never, ever EVER get over 200 again. That was my "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" (spoken in Gandalf's voice) line. Well, when I did go over 200 pounds... I TOTALLY lost it after that and skyrocketing up to 243 very, very, very quickly.

I knew this was something I would always struggle with - I did, but I had NO IDEA I would fall flat on my face. I was severely depressed and I simply didn't care. During that time FOOD tasted great and was the only comfort I had. I didn't care about my weight and I just ignored my health by just 'stopping' everything - including stopping my thyroid medicine as the prescription ran out and I didn't want to go in to the doctor so fat... so I got even fatter! So, so, so stupid, but I was helpless too.

I hope I have a plan in place for depression now, but now that I face this weight loss AGAIN, I feel let everyone down.

Now I just want the weight to go away - fast... so I can resume my life where I left it off.
