Here is my first week challenge. That week includes a cold and an increase of Metformin (I take it for PCOS) that both left me with little will to eat. At least loosing weight wasnt too hard this week.

Wednesday Wish ... that I had done better this week; and not just on the weight loss front.
Still, I am certain I'll get back in the saddle now that I made the lasagna I have been craving for a longer than a year. I knew I could make one that was 'skinnied down', by using skim milk ricotta instead of full fat, by passing the mozzarella and using unsalted crushed tomatoes instead of pasta sauce ... but ... I made the decision to lighten it only by using a mixed vegetable layer in place of a meat one. A single serving falls right into my macro's ... a s.i.n.g.l.e. serving ... not the 4 I had over the course of the day ... yep, it was Lasagna for all my meals. At least there were vegetables in it, and I did also eat 3.65 oz of lettuce and a granny smith apple!.

Now that my lasagna blow-out is past, all the rest of the slices, 8 of em, are wrapped up and frozen to be dolled out on a rationed basis ... one at a time.

@naceto ... I remember you, glad to hear all is going so well for you.

@pneschich - What did your blood work show? I hope you got some answers, and that you're feeling like yourself again!

@campfirequeen1 - I do the exact same thing when it comes to logging: if it isn't easy for me to estimate the calories, I simply won't bother. Congratulations on getting better about that!

@Dalceridae - 50 pounds! Way to go!! Sorry to hear about the pain, though. How frustrating.

@susan2396 - YAY! Congratulations!! I remember how it felt a couple of months ago when I was able to fit into a pair of size 16 jeans after many years of 20/22. Reminding myself that I'm wearing smaller jeans definitely helps keep me going when I feel like I'm making zero progress.

I've made some good progress since last week, but I'm not going to change my challenge goal just yet: I tend to have loooong plateaus, and I was at 210 forever. If I hit 205 sooner than expected I'll definitely update my goal, but I'm not gonna hold my breath...especially since I'm planning to have Korean fried chicken (and frozen yogurt) for lunch today, and will be going out for dinner on Friday.

Just tired of being judged based on wieght, it is a downer. Even when you try to get fit, there are looks and comments at the gym.

Just down.

@mickey2942 I know is hard when people are negative but don't let them annoy you. What we are doing requires a lot of personal strength and motivation and that talks highly of all of us. We should all be proud .... don't let anyone take that away. Keep going!

Wednesday wish. I wish you all well

Got my blood work back. It's great. I'm just tired. I took today off, went to mass this morning and have done nothing. Nothing is hard! Read some, tried to take a nap but the dog decided to "check" on me. One big cold nose followed by 80 pounds of tongue and tail, wagged and licked and squeaky toy burrowed their way under the covers to demand attention, actually I think I was in his daytime spot and he wanted me to move because that's where he is now.

I'm having an Eyore kind of day. Oh bother, it doesn't matter... I want to eat but it's the boredom. I'm not hungry. Old habits and dying hard comes to mind. I want peanut butter and chocolate, going to have a Powerade zero, the blue one. Haven't lost a pound in a week. I know I'm normalizing and I lost 18 pounds in the two and a half weeks prior but it doesn't matter. I want to see success. Irrational but human.

One of my aunts called to check in and see how I was doing, she told me how brave it was to make the decision to get the surgery. It was great.

So happy for you @pneschich ... that everything is going well and that you are happy with your decision and it's progressing outcome.

Yes, it was brave to make a decision ... any decision. Take it from this old lady who agonizes to make any decision when there are too many options to choose from! ... it is also very brave to continue the battle of the bulge via unmodulated calorie restriction ... just keep eating the foods that are the best and healthiest for you, no matter which way you are doing it. The real culprit, in most cases, is our inability to control the craving beast and that just takes a lot of practice and behavior modification .... like Pavlo's dog ... we are trained by what we do over and over.

Stumbled across this today and found it to be a funny way to compare your successes. Apparently I have lost the equivalent of a dolphin's brain

I should have weighed today but it was diuretic day and I was just in such a hurry to get some food in before I could get rid of all the fluid, and I couldn't wait to finish getting rid of it before I did my weigh in, so I still have some fluid on and breakfast too. I will weigh in tomorrow morning first thing and hope that there is a loss. I can't tell by this mornings weight before the diuretic started flushing the weight away!

Nikion901

@campfirequeen1 ... I hear you! ... and I know exactly what you mean regarding diuretic day. It's a good thing I reported my weight yesterday, because it I were to do it today I would be up a pound instead of down a half ... just hope everything normalized before I need to report to the other challenges I'm on that have me weighing in later in the week. Depressing crappohoolza!

I had a tough week just in terms of weight loss. After the Valentines day box of stuff I shouldn't be eating, the scale said I gained 3lbs (though as cliché as it sounds, I'm certain some of it was water because I KNOW that binge only brought me 1500 cal above) but after the initial gain the scale showed me at the same weight for five days straight and finally the scale started budging again. As of today, I'm back making progress where I last left off and I'm SO RELIEVED. I'm feeling so much better, especially since I usually don't push past the first real setback in a weight loss attempt so I feel a renewed motivation to keep going.

Thanks @gullagr ! It said i lost a car tire lol

bapcarrier

@gullagr what fun! I lost 76 bananas! LOL At first that didn't sounds like much but then I visualized hanging 76 bananas off my body and it seemed like a lot more and gave me quite a chuckle.

birgitkwood

It seems that I lost both a 2mos old horse and an ostrich egg. I really must be more careful with those critters - lol.
