Gained .6 lb.... not horrible but not a loss either. oh well.

amylou24

Hi ladies!! I am down another lb. from Friday. I don't remember what I was on Tuesday, I would have to check the other thread to be sure what I was down for the week as a whole. I know it was quite a bit for me, but I'm thinking a lot of it is stress. which is interesting because typically during finals week I get stressed and just eat, eat, eat!!! and I'm so happy I haven't done that this year. :bigsmile:

Goals for this week:
1. Lose 1 pound by next Tuesday's weigh in.
2. Bump up my cardio routine by pace and amount.
3. NO peeking at the scale between weigh ins.(I've been bad about this!)
4. Stay within calorie range EVERY day this week!

So...last week went well for me! I am VERY excited about this! Although only 1 pound down since starting, since tis the season of yummy treats, I'm happy with that small loss!

Today should be fine. I have my meal planned but no time to post at the moment. SO...I will BBL with that info!

Good luck girlies!!! Those who gain...get back to it! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Those who lost...keep it up!!!!!

Good Morning Ladies,

Well I am up over 200 again 200.8, but it's really not as bad as I expected. I feel like I need another day to recoup. Just feeling tired. I need to go back to find week 2 weight since this week is really a gain, but overall progress is a small loss.

Katy, Good luck on those finals.
Kristen & Amy, Shenell & lb??(not sure name), Good job on the losses for this week:flowerforyou:
Anyone else I missed, Have a good day. If you had a gain, don't worry about the past, lets just focus on what we can do about today.:happy:

Good morning ladies!

Congrats to those with losses and the gains have been small and will fall away, right???
Well I had the worst 36 hours... Absolutely HORRIBLE flu. It just happened to correspond with eating the bad food at the party but I was literally getting sick every 15 to 20 minutes and couldn't even keep WATER down. In fact Kyle had to go to the store at 3am to get some gravol so that I could keep some water in me for at least a few minutes and maybe absorb a LITTLE of it. He didn't go in to work yesterday because the kids had it too and we were a mess. I managed to finally eat a teensy bowl of rice krispies last night and that was it but this morning I'm feeling like I could eat a little again and I can tell I'm past the main part. Just need to get energy back now. No fun!

Here are my stats:
week 1: 174 lbs
week 2: 172.2 lbs
week 3: 168.4 lbs ...3.8 lb loss (0.6 lb loss since Friday) :bigsmile:

No meal plan yet for today. I had another bowl of rice krispies for breakfast and I'm hoping to be able to have something nutritionally substantial later on. I'm sure I'll be back soon. Lazy day around here!

This sounds HEAVENLY *drooool*

OMG OMG OMG!!! I have returned to the "normal" range on the BMI chart!!!! WOW!!!! I'm so excited! Gosh, I remember a while ago making a post titled something like "yay! I'm "overweight"! because I went from the 'obese' to 'overweight' designation but back into NORMAL?? YEAH!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile: :glasses: And the thing is, I know that the BMI calculator has limitations since it can't take into account things like muscle mass, bone density and frame. I've always had a muscular build and I've always had Drs tell me that BMI over-estimates my place on the chart because of my muscles so being back in the normal range just based on weight means it's really true. THAT is a nice way to start a day :bigsmile:

I have been in such a mood today, I haven't felt like doing anything. I blew off they gym, ate a giant piece of cake for lunch, followed by pizza an hour ago. Good thing I weigh first thing in the morning. Otherwise, I'd probably go for the ice cream in the freezer.... Right now, I'm saving that for dinner, ha ha.

Well Robin...although you may be having a bad day today, you are doing FAB! Nice drop from last week!!! Keep up the excellent work!!!!:drinker: And don't fret too much about today...we ALL have bad days!:flowerforyou:

pdxmomof2

:happy: Hello my fellow sixers. I have been kind of just lurking around here lately. I am having a hard time and not wanting to share that with everyone. I am a week away from turning 35. I really wanted to make alot more progress by my birthday than this. I had started this journey back in March 2008 and it was my goal to have lost the weight and to reward myself for my birthday. Instead I am getting workout clothes for my birthday so that I can find some motivation to get my butt going! So I have 9 months to loose 55/60 pounds. 37 weeks. 1.62 pounds per week. Yikes. :sad:

I am not weighing in today. I will weigh in on friday. I slept maybe 2 hours last night so I am sure my body is storing all the food I have ate.

Great job everyone on the losses. Fantastic!

Amy:flowerforyou:

chipper15173

amy i feel your pain....i have been struggling for the last few weeks too. i eat and gain these 3#s. than lose them, and gain them back. i have been just playing with them. now again they are coming off. well, today DH and i were talking and he said maybe i am affraid to go below 210/200. which i could. i don't think i am but, never know. so now that it is in the front of my mind, i am trying to get past those two weights and see what happens. i haven't been below 200 in over 27 yrs. i too hadn't said anything about it, i too have been just lurking, poking in every once in awhile.
well, time to get things ready for gym tomorrow, been working on the eliptical lately. wanting to get away from the treadmill for the gym workout. i am up to 20 mins now. i am doing the c25k at home three days a week and the gym 3 days a week.
later

Amy, Cathy, I just want to remind you lovelies that this is what we're here for!! This is a challenging journey at the best of times and when things are adding to your stress it's only that much harder.
We're here for you, even when things are really tough. This isn't a fair-weather group, right gang??

DebLaf

Pedal, BIG CONGRATS on getting to the "normal" range. What a great feeling that must be. Glad you're feeling better.:flowerforyou:
Cathy, You WILL make it to under 200. Everyone struggles now and then. It could be your body readjusting to the lower weight and different metabolism. You should focus on all that is positive that you have done.:flowerforyou:
Robin; Good job on the nice loss.:flowerforyou:
Amy: I have set goals and not attained them in the past too, but now we have this wonderful group to help us be successful this time.:flowerforyou:

I need to focus on meal planning & drinking my water again. It's so easy to let this go when I'm tired and/or busy.

Good night ladies:yawn:

rlh0614

You are all such wonderful women! And I am lucky you brought me into this group! You motivate me everyday! I am having a bad day today - but each of you in your own way made me feel better. Thank you! I have my dinner out for tomorrow... thought I would share the recipe! I don't do so good with the food. I am a snacker - I don't like full blown meals.. so this week it is my goal to eat right...

That recipe sounds good rlh!!! Do you put the chicken in frozen or thawed? Thanks!!

Ladies I have a question. The last few days I just haven't had much of an appetite (i think it's because of the stress from papers and finals) and I've been having trouble making my 1200 calories. I know I've been trying so hard to add extra cals but I'm just not hungry so its hard to do. Any ideas as to how i can figure this out? Like I said, it's because I'm stressed so in less than a week it will be better.

It's weird, I don't remember the last time I didn't want to eat constantly during finals week. haha. I guess I'm just worried, even though I'm not hungry, that not making the 1200 cals will force my body into survival mode.

Thanks for reading/listening!

AmyLou,

Try adding higher fat healthy choices along with some high fiber choices. They will have the caloric values. Try a hand full of almonds or add avacado to your salad. Then you can meet 1200 cals without eating when you are not hungry.

I hope finals are going well for you!
