I realized I was pushing too hard for numbers. This happened last time I lost weight. I started caring far too much about losing certain amounts each week. So I'm back to eating within a larger window of calories. Back to 168.2 today. I thought I might be higher. Now just back at losing at a steady but not too swift pace.
Hello, everyone - and congratulations on all the progress! I have been at 167.8 for the past few days. I was really hoping to get to 166 this week, but I'm not sure if that's in the cards. I'm pretty sure the culprits for me this week were sodium and carbs. Anyway, I just need to keep my motivation high, and keep trying as I have been and not get discouraged - be more stubborn than my fat!
Guac - sodium is my enemy, too. DH and I like to eat out a lot and there is always too much sodium in restaurant food. I have cut back on the carbs this week and it is helping. I eliminated any bread, cereal or rice and also my fruits.
So, this morning it paid off! 160.8!!
Hope everyone is doing well. Waving hi to you all.
@chel325, yeah I get less excited when I'm doing the science/math just right to plan. But I think being less emotional overall with weight/food is a good thing for me, heh.
I'm still hanging on to that last lb before getting to the 150's. 160.8 this morning. I even did an hours worth of walking/shopping around a vendor's show at the fairground buildings where I live. Got to just keep sticking to my food plan, stay under 1300 cals, and get my activity in. It has got to go down, soon! Patience, Kat, patience.......
Looks like everyone is rocking it! I had a bad couple weeks before this week and had crept back in to the 170s but I really buckled down this week and weighed in at 166.8! I'm feeling really motivated, I just hope it lasts
Samantha - welcome back to the 160's! Everyone has "those" weeks. What counts is you were able to break them and climb back up on the bandwagon. Good job!
chel - Hormones sure do play havoc on us females. Lucky for me, I am past that now, but I have to deal with other non-weight issues. Can we say "crepe paper skin"? lol It's more pronounced, now that I have lost weight, but I would rather have my heart healthy than worry about that.
I hit 159.4 yesterday and this morning 159.6. Going to wait a couple more days until I am firmly in the 150's. My weight likes to try to bounce up a bit after a loss, so, I will just wait it out.
WTG pink! Good job!!!
