Losing 20 in your 20's! (CLOSED)

thefreemans28

Good morning!!! I just checked out the weigh-in results for today and it looks like we've had some with a good week and other with a not so good week.

As for me, I am down exactly 1 pound, but am down to my lowest yet... I am now 1.2 pounds away from hitting 150 even. So my goal this week is to bust through 150 into the 140s for once! I am so over losing and gaining these same pounds over and over again!!! I started calorie zig-zagging yesterday, so we'll see how that works for me, along with some weight-training.

Good luck to everyone who will be weighing in tomorrow or later today!!

Yep...I had a change of plans, sorry I didn't let you know!

Also, we have lost Floricienta due to some life changes. She will be traveling abroad for a while and won't be able to be part of the challenge anymore. Thank you floricienta for being a great competitor! You will be missed!

If anyone has a friend that wants to join us, let me know!

Still waiting on a few more people to log their weights. Hopefully I can announce winners tonight. Good work everyone who lost this week!!!

It's official, we've definitely lost Courtney (islander). So we need another replacement. Paula, got anymore friends? You seem to be supplying us with great replacements! BttflyKisses925 is joining us in floricienta's place on the PEACHES. This is such a bummer losing people like this :frown: But on the bright side, we are meeting more inspirational people!

I tried to log my weight but it won't let me for some reason. Please add mine 151. I didn't get to weigh today so I used the weight I was like 3-4 days ago. Life has been crazy hectic this week......we are getting things prepared to move back home to the USA!!! WOOT!! So, there are a lot of errands, appointments and bad eating going on due to time constraints! I am hoping next week will be calmer, but then again, next week is the last week before our cruise......maybe our cruise will be better? Oh wait they have bottomless food onboard.....crap!:huh:

GoyaMommy13

OH EM GEE!!!! I forgot to log my weight. work has been CUH-RAZY!! just logged!!

Cheri- nice work on the loss over the weekend! That seems to be the hardest part for most of us. Good work!

As for me, I'm meeting my new trainer this morning and I can't wait to figure out a plan with her. Things just aren't working for me currently so I'm looking forward to some guidance and another boost of motivation. Happy monday everyone!

Ross - maybe this is the change you need in order to kick some weight-loss butt!!!

Alright, BLUE BERRIES! This is OUR week! Let's make this happen!

Who has a new challenge for this week???

Nikki881

Hey everyone, I'm kind of feeling weird about something. A friend of mine, who is also on this site, called me out for 'controlling every aspect of my health' today, just because I said I couldn't wait for tomorrow morning to be back at the gym. I mean, yes I measure and count my servings, and I'm conscientious about what I eat, when I eat, and how much water I drink, and I'm active every day. I don't really see it as controlling everything, because I've really grown to love working out at the gym, and I like eating healthy and not over-eating. Does she have a point? Am I taking this overboard?

IS YOUR FRIEND OVERWEIGHT?
I DON THINK IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE TAKING IT OVERBOARD.......... ILL ADMIT I FELT A LITTLE ANAL THE OTHER NIGHT AT DINNER WHEN I CUT EVERYTHING IN HALF AND PUT IT IN A TOGO BOX BEFORE I STARTED EATING BUT I TELL YOU WHAT IT WORKED FOR ME SO WHO CARES!!!!!!!!

She's about ten pounds heavier than I am, and she's struggled with an eating disorder for years, she's trying to get out of that. You would think that SHE would be controlling... I've just changed my relationship with food! It's fuel, not comfort or something to do when I'm bored... I mean, yes, I still love food, and every now and then I can indulge a bit, but not the way I used to, and I don't miss it. I don't walk around wishing I could eat the way I used to, because I don't like the way I used to look. I'm liking what I'm seeing now, and I'm being healthy to get results.

Oops, I meant Plantgrrl...not Pantgrrl.

Nikki- If you are happy and you are enjoying how you feel when you workout and eat healthy, then I don't think you are going overboard. I think you know your limits. If there are underlying feelings of self-hate and dread for workouts, then I think you'd have a problem but as far as I can tell, you're in the clear! Keep your head up and don't let anyone get you down!

Thanks Ross! You're definitely right, and I'm loving myself more and more, now that I can see the changes.

maybe she just wishes she had your self control?? in any case if she is being negative just ignore her, or you could try to help her see the light!

Try not to be mad at her, because she's struggled with an eating disorder she is trying to learn that her extreme control of eating habits and exercise is too much and is learning to relax around food which is the opposite of what you are trying to do at the moment.
It's very scary for people who have eating disorders especially when dieting because old habits creep back and they don't want to revisit that scary place. Her goals at the moment are different to yours. It might be best not to use her as a support for your weight loss because it can fuel people with eating disorders to diet harder, like a competition.
