TOO CHUBBY FOR MY TWENTIES (OCTOBER CHALLENGE!)!
Replies
-
Weigh-in today, and I'm really disappointed. Down 0,2 kg (0.45 lbs) in a week, which makes it almost impossible to reach my goal by November 1st. *sigh* I know this past week hasn't been good food OR exercise-wise, but with four papers due and a final, tracking calories and working out hasn't been my main focus.
Oh well - I still hae one more weigh-in this month, and will do my absolutely best to reach my goal by then!0 -
Kattungen- I know exactly how you feel!! I lost 2lbs again this weigh in which I am happy with but I wish I had just set my goal a little lower so that I'm not gonna be disheartened next friday when I'm not under 200lbs! Because I really don't think my body is able to shift 7lbs in one week!!!hahaha! I'm still really happy though and you should be proud of yourself for losing at all!!!!
Aly- Listen to the girlies and hide those scales where you won't find them! In fact ask your boyfriend to hide them....I'm sure he'd be happy to do that for you=]haha! Don't be put off by a bad weigh in, just power through and get your boyfriend involved in your workouts!!! That'll stop him moaning at you for being obsessed... because he'll be too out of breath to talk!!! We're all here so instead of taking out your frustrations on him vent them on this thread and I'm sure you'll notice a difference in the relationship! I only ever fill my boyfriend in on the good stuff that's happening in my weight loss and then I use you lot as a shoulder to moan on=]
So lost another 2lbs today, which means I will probably not be under 200lbs by the end of October, but I couldn't care less!!!!! I know I'll be under 200lbs a few weeks later and the fact that I'm feeling the healthiest and fittest I have for years is success enough for me for this month. I think my next months aim won't be so dependent on weight. Maybe I'll focus on getting my workouts regular and often instead!!!!!
I definitely agree on the new name though!!!! Chubby is so depressing to read whenever I click on this thread!!!
Let's carry on kicking *kitten*=]0 -
Thanks so much guys. I have really been getting down on myself too much lately I think hiding the scale for a bit is a good thing. I also have an appointment with a nutritionist this sunday to see if maybe what I am eating is affecting my mood as well. I can't let food stress me out, and I have an addictive personality so that makes it hard. But this weekend I am going to work out with my man, and have a good food weekend, mixing fun in as well.
Question: do you guys have a few drinks a week? How do you incorporate alcohol in your weight loss program?0 -
I have a few drinks a week. My boyfriend is really into beer and has just started brewing his own. So we are always out so that he can try different ones. If I know ahead of time that I will be having a few drinks later at night then I will try to allow myself enough calories for that without cheating myself from the healthy, nutritional food that my body needs. And if we go out at the last minute then I will try to get in some extra exercise the following day to make up for it.0

Every twenty something girl needs a bit of alcohol now and then=]
I've been pretty good considering I'm in my last year at university and all my friends are out CONSTANTLY!!!
I've been out drinking about 4 times since I started MFP. Every time I was the life and soul of the party because I got slightly tipsy!!!
I stick to Gin and Slimline Tonic. It's only about 60 calories per 25ml of Gin and then add a little tonic to taste! I do try and have low calorie days if I'm planning a drinking session though....just in case I go overboard!
You can't completely cut the bad stuff out of your life....which is why MFP is here so we can log it and learn from it=]0 -

Gin and tonic or other mixed drinks with soda/water are probable your best bet. That or wine (red wine if you like it). I'd steer clear of beers if you can. Pre-mixed stuff you can buy at the store, like margaritas and that is LOADED with sugar so be aware of that. Most of all, don't lose sight of the journey. One drink isn't going to kill you! So if you really crave something - have it, log it, and forget about it Make up for it the next day.

Yea I'm the freak who never drank, really ever. Type A Personality to the extreme! It never really fit into my life and by the time it was legal to drink, I just was so scandalized at how much booze cost (esp when I could have cheezy fries instead). So I am more on than infrequent side than most- but I like to save it for special occasions and/or treats like I do with desserts or anything else. But I think Meag said it best- plan for it best you can, and if you go overboard, deal with it then.0

I am an exception, too - but, even though I'm only halfway through my 20's, I am in a bit different of a life situation than most women my age and am a bit "old" for my age. I have been a mom for over 8 years and am married with a full time job and lots of outside commitments as well. I don't have the time or inclination to drink anymore - I did that in my teens and only got into trouble. I might have one light beer a couple of times a year, but that's it.
That being said, if you DO have a drink, make sure you have been eating healthy, nutritious foods during the day, have the calories to spare, and drink EXTRA water.0 -

Congrats, Meag, on sober living! I don't think I could ever be completely sober- I like my occasional drinks, but I definitely respect everyone who stays sober!
Emmy, I definitely agree that *most* people can use a drink now & then! I used to drink ALL THE TIME. I've now cut it down extremely. I might have a few drinks on the weekends (usually not every weekend) & for celebrations but I hardly ever go overboard anymore. I, too, make sure I set aside enough calories to drink or else I don't touch the booze! Everything in moderation, I say.
Congrats to everyone on their losses so far this month. I love this group! Sorry I haven't been an extremely active poster, but I do read everyone's comments!
Also, I'm definitely up for a group name change! I like the Kickin *kitten* one or we could do something like "Taking Charge of Our Twenties" or something. Whatever! I'm down.
Here's my update:
So if you've been reading along, you've probably noticed I've been struggling to get some weight loss for a few weeks. It's been really frustrating but I told myself I wouldn't give up and I'm not. I peeked at the scale this morning and I had a wee loss- hoping it will go down a little bit more for my official weigh in. I changed around some eating habits & my workout routine so I am confident I will see that loss! One thing I've learned from this: It's not always going to be easy. Don't give up! It will pay off!
Have a great weekend everyone!!0 -
I appreciate this group and this community generally so much.
Since I've started losing weight, I can't even remember a time I felt more confident about myself. I've always been overweight and I'm still heavier than I want to be, but knowing that I'm accomplishing so much makes me feel excellent.
I've lost 24 pounds right now and finally am not considered "obese" anymore. I thought this would be a lot harder than it has been. I don't know why I didn't try it before.0 -
I just started myfitnesspal today. I want to loose 20 pounds by my 24th birthday! (DECEMBER 8TH)0

I am so happy to see that this thread has exploded! I started it back in September. I completely lost track - once again - and kept thinking I was doing just fine and didn't weigh-in forever. Well, I did, and I'm up SIX POUNDS!!! But - I have got to get on track. I'm just afraid if I don't do it now, I will keep going in this vicious cycle!
Thank you to everyone for keeping this going! I am so happy to see that many of you have kept it up and stayed on task and have encouraged each other. I will try to keep up from now on. This upcoming week is an incredibly stressful week for me, quite possibly the most stressful week of my semester, so I may not be on the boards much next week - but if after that, I'm going to be an active member of this thread! I feel it's my duty after starting the original thread! Ha ha ha!
I hope everything is going well with everyone here!0 -
hey everyone! i agree with the previous posters in being grateful for this thread, you guys are awesome!! i don't know what it is about this week, maybe b/c it's the TOM, or what, but i haven't logged in days, and therefore been much more prone to snacking my face off, and gotten a few days behind on my TurboFire schedule, which has made me so frustrated argh! the scale fortunately hasn't gone up, but also not down either.. i'm taking my stand and putting myself back on the wagon! lol. hope everyone has a great weekend!0

Way to go you guys! Such a great job :happy: Good to have you back, Allie!!
Things have been hectic for me over the past 2 days. Great stuff though. Working again tonight - ugh. I'll be happy once the nights over. Went out for a jog with the bf today for the first time - he's getting into running with me! I think he sees how happy it makes me and he wants in on it. He did great today - we jogged 3 kms and only stopped to walk once. Then we walked back 3km to the car. I was so proud of him - lots of high fives! Tomorrow is another big day for me - 9kms, my longest run yet! And it's supposed to rain :grumble: We'll see how that goes.
Hopefully I'll be back to posting normally by Monday. Have a great weekend everyone, and sorry if I missed you! Trying to keep up on my feed, but it's flying!

So overall I've had a pretty great week, in terms of weight loss, running and general life stuff- today was a fun bit of chill and tomorrow there will be some dressing up and Avenue Q on off-Broadway.
And just to chime in on how great this group has been for me too- You guys have no idea what an inspiration you are to me every single day. I have tried to lose weight a lot of different ways, but never in my whole life have I ever felt so confident in my ability to really change myself. You are all so amazing, and this group has really changed my life for the better!

congrats on all the good work yall!0 -
hoping there's a november challenge coming0

I am pretty sure there is a November group starting. I just got back from a 10 mile run in the rain, it was awesome! My back is a little sore and it feels like I pinched something but I think a little ice and rest will do the trick. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have an appointment with a nutritionist in a few hours!0

As for me - really, really proud of my 9+ km run today. I KNOW I can finish my 10k on Saturday now. The best part was running the last 0.75 miles just faster than 6mph. I love that I can dig deep and pull it out for the last mile or so. Such a rewarding feeling :happy:
Have a great weekend everyone! Weigh-in tomorrow - hoping all my hard-work is going to show on the scales. I'm definitely notice a difference in how I look and feel. Maybe not lighter but definitely fitter and slightly more toned. Yay! :drinker:

Haven't checked in for a while now. My October goal was 30-45 minutes of cardio and I was doing that every day until last week - I got sick and that turned into bronchitis and I am on Day 4 of antibiotics and STILL not feeling much better. The doctor told me not to work out until I recover so I haven't been doing any exercise all week but have stayed within my calorie goals and still lost weight. Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon because I really MISS my daily workout.0

OMG I haven't checked in all weekend... and reading all your posts are amazing inspiration to get back on track! Well done everyone!!!!
I've had a pretty bad weekend food wise. On Saturday me and my best friend drove down to London to stay in a swanky hotel for her birthday and we got slightly pissed on champagne and wine (baaaaad calories) and then ordered some cheesy chicken nachos!!! They were delicious but definitely not worth how ever many calories they were hiding in their yumminess! Then the next morning we hopped on the tube and went across London to this fashion event that we had tickets for. I'm in love with America's Next Top Model and it was a Britain's Next Top Model event with clothes and beauty stalls and all sorts of free goodies and we got to watch the most amazing catwalk! I wasn't too bad that day although I didn't log anything and I probably did go over!
But I'm not gonna let a weekend of fun ruin my new healthy lifestyle!!! I'm back to logging and working out today and even though I am going to Belfast for the weekend with my boyfriend this weekend, I know that it doesn't have to be an indulgent trip! I can still eat healthily!
And I'm still hoping for a loss at this weeks weigh in....have quite a few days to work off some of those calories with a good bout of cardio every day=]
This thread is the reason that I am not down heartened by this weekends food fest! I know that with all of your help I can get back on track and continue to lose weight steadily and healthily.
Love you guys!!!0
