Weigh in Day/Week: Friday, April - Week 4
PW = 156.5
CW = 158
<sigh>🙄😓 Downsieeeee and Upsieeeees 😖🤪 I lose 2 last week and now I'm up 1.5🤷🏻♀️ ---my body seems to want to stay at this 158--- I really want to lost 10 more lbs and get to my 148 goal.... right now my BMI is at 24 (I am 5'8"). Am I trying for the impossible here???
I am really feeling conflicted. 🙇🏻♀️ One of my MFP friends who lost twice the weight I have lost just had skin removal surgery and they took 6.6lbs off of her in skin--- leaves me wondering....how much of this weight is my skin weighing me down??? (I do have lots of thigh and belly skin left with me.)
💪🏻ON TO MAY---- hoping I can at least lost the 5lbs I have gained since February.
HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!🎶🤗🎶💫
Happy Friday 😃😍😍
Be encouraged and keep pressing on and know things will only get better as we stay on track.1 -
Hey Nancy, I just realised we are the same weight right now (158) and we have similar goal weights (mine is 147) 😁 I’m only 5”5 though, so a bit of a short *kitten* 🙈 I have the belly skin issue too but I think that’s possibly because I had to have a section when I had my baby. I’m left with this pouch like thing that I just tuck into my jeans ha ha. Let’s make May our month 💪💝
I feel ya girl--- I have had 2 C-sections---two 10lb-ers!! Big babies---my second son was just shy of 2 feet looooong--- 23 1/2 inches long. He is now 6'3" tall with size 14 men's shoes--- crazy huh?!!!
Post-pregnancy is tough to recover from---but I wish I had done it right away like you are. I also wish I had listened to my Mother who warned me to wear compression wear during and after my babies so I'd have less of a pouch.🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Feel like I've been running in circles these past 6 months--eventhough I am 25 lbs less than I was this time last year--- but still--- GAAAH those last few are sooo stubborn!!
I agree though--- we will have to bring it this next Month!!🤗1 -

Oh WOW...2 10lb’ers 😱 That’s crazy! Mine was only 5lb 4oz and born early but that section has definitely messed my belly up! I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror up until a couple of months ago. Then when I eventually did, I looked at my stomach and said out loud “What is THAT?!” 😂
Ah, wise words from your mum. Mine also recommended I wear a waist trainer thing but I didn’t bother. Maybe it would’ve helped.
Yeah I’ve heard the last few pounds can be quite tough to shift. But...we will get there 🤗🤞🏻💟

TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY STILL STAYING POSITIVE2 -
UPDATE ON MY MOM: Her GI Tract still has not waking up from 2nd surgery on Monday so the Dietitian explained how she's finally got the doctor's to agree to feed my mom by IV which is protien, carbs, and fats it will bypass the GI Tract and go through the circulatory system so it will send signals to the brain that she's getting nutrition. Since she's been getting this for the last 5 hours her complexion has cleared tremedously and her spirits is much higher. STILL TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE BUT DO NOT LIKE SEEING MY MOM LIKE THIS😥😥😥5

Ya that stinks. I’ve been up and down all week. This is the lowest this week so there’s that. I’ve been holding water all week. I don’t know if I can blame the ham I ate sunday and Monday at this point but it seems to do that to me. I’m sad cause I LOVE ham.
Ok so there’s another week ahead of me and a new month starting, stay the course! Going to keep heading toward my 200 lb goal, 4 weeks to lose 9 pounds, see how I do! Hoping my karate classes will lend something to that.^^^ Right there with ya @Batgirl140 & @CourtneyLomonaco --- and I am busting my butt going up and down the scale too.😞😒😖

Yep this is why it's important to measure and not just go by the scale cause although weightloss matters for this challenge fat loss is what we really want in order to be healthier. 👌🏾💪🏽👍🏾0 -

We had an awesome time and I was even able to bowl every other game turn for about 45mins out of the 2hours and 3 games so much more than before where I bowl nothing on my Birthday and before that only took 2 turns. Also couldn't eat my dinner only 1/4 of it as it was too much.

⭐️Daily Post: Saturday 27 April
✅Track: Yes
👎🏻Calories: Over by 229 😱
✅Exercise: Went for a walk this afternoon
✅Comments: Well team, I went over my calories by 229 today 🙈 I can’t remember the last time I was over. I squeezed in a nap this afternoon and when I woke up, I went straight to the kitchen and ate 3 snowballs (they are little chocolate/coconut covered things with a marshmallow filling). Also, my fiancé made fajitas and I kinda overdone it ‘cause they were tasty 😋 Anyway, I enjoyed the snowballs and fajitas and it hasn’t demotivated me that I went over. Tomorrow I will just stick to my calories as usual and treat this day as a one-off. These things happen and I’m back on track as of now 💪2 -
