Need to lose between 30-40 lbs??

sspalding

Welcome to weigh in day! My weight is 202.2. I was 207.8 That is a 5 lb lose this week I am so happy! This blog is such a good support for me I get on several times a day just to read and learn and stay motivated. Thank you to each of you for your help! My goal for March 31st will be 198. It has been 3 years since I can remember being under 200 I will be pushing it hard this week! MISSYANN WHERRE ARE YOU I NEED YOU!

Sounds like almost everyone had a rough week! I did, too. I thought I was pregnant and up'd my calories from 1,200 to 2,000 to ensure a healthy baby, but turns out I am not. Here's hoping I can reach my goal still. It really would be better for us if I could have a couple of months maintaining my ideal weight before we get pregnant again anyway...

Goal Weight for today: 182
Current weight: 185
Mini Goal 4/7/10: 182
End Goal 8/1/10: 155

Hey all!! I'm weighing in ive gained this week much to my dismay.. but i'm going to keep plugging away. Back up to 151lbs this is the high end of my fluctuation pounds. My husband is getting ready to leave me for work 300 miles away working 6/12's so i think the stress is somewhat getting to me plus ive been making cookies and good homecooked meals for him the last two weeks since he will be somewhat deprived away from home. This has been an off week (I seem to have alot of those ) Anyways my goal is 147lbs for next week which i was 2 weeks ago. Take care and i hope Missy is ok!!!!!!!

Hi peeps. Here's mine.....

Heaviest Weight 207
02/24 start weight 194.4
03/03 194.0 -0.4

03/17 193.4
03/24 191.4
03/31
04/07 (mini goal: 184)

I'm behind on my goal, and I know that's because I haven't been getting enough exercise. I have a hard time fitting it into my schedule plus when I get home and have dinner all made and cleaned up, I 'm absolutely exhausted. Are there any real-early risers out there that might have any tips on how to squeeze in a burn? I am soooo not a morning person. (I leave home at 6am every day and it is 1 1/4 hours to and 1 1/4 hours from work. This includes a 30 minute drive to the train, 25 minutes on the train and a 15-minute walk to the ofice each way.) Any tips are greatly appreciated. I LURVE this group!

You don't suck, hon! Weight fluctuates -- ESPECIALLY during TOM. Don't even sweat it! Stay persistent -- you'll see results.

:sad: I AM FRUSTRATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have logged into this site for more then 50 days straight and not lost a single pound this time....
i amped up my workouts so thought i was retaining water from healing muscles, but after 2-3 weeks still nothing in fact i had gained.

I am set to 1400 cals a day plus some - all of excercise cals, usually some to half.
mostly non processed foods, even my "junk" foods are home made oaty fruity chocolate maybe type things like home made granola bars etc...and i count every bite.

then i down spiraled for 2 weeks, one cuz work hours didn't permit my classes and then last week cuz i was REALLY SICK.

so eating was mostly good those 2 weeks except the weekends and a couple of eating out moments. but no exercise other then walking my dog.

this week i am back on track, health wise, eating wise, and work out wise, and still no budge and still up.
I don't mean 2-3 lbs of daily flux up. I mean the scale was 214 this morning (and the last few weeks) and not 209 where i had been steady since over xmas.....

what is up???

I am getting discouraged. i just want to be back at my 209 at the very least not going up!?

Maybe it's time to see a doctor. The only thing I can think is that you may have a thyroid or other hormonal issue that's keeping you from losing weight.

I'm so sorry for your frustration, hon. <offers hugs> :frown:

Hello group mates! Congrats to everyone on continuing to make healthy choices, whether you met your goal or not. I have been eating some of my exercise calories and have been losing more consistently so anyone who is on the fence about that, it is working for me for now. I have definitely been enjoying eating a little bit more. Stay strong and good luck for your next weigh in!

i agree. go see a doctor! it could be diabetes, insulin resistance, estrogen imbalance, a thyroid issue or food intolerance. hugs!

Well post wedding I am up to 196.5 this week. But to be honest I didn't workout or eat right since Friday. So only 3.5 up is not bad, I feel like a slug. Time to get back on track starting today. (The cake is gone and the cookies have been taken to work.)
