Post weight losses. Hold me accountable (Thanks!)

barefootbabe

Cheryl, it's good to hear that someone else has been through this too, and they have survived! Every day I just feel like I am going to curl up and die, but if you didn't, maybe I will have a whole heart again someday too! I actually moved from Vancouver, Canada to Aus, though I did live in Arizona for a while when I was younger!

JOTW, yes, I was referring to you- didn't realize you were shorter than me, I was just looking at the weight stats! But regardless, we have similar goals and that also helps me to know that someone is aiming around the same numbers as me. And happy birthday! What I wouldn't give to be enjoying a lovely crisp fall day- we are heading into extreme heat summer here, so no cold fall days and changing leaves for me! Anyway, keep working till those work pants are around your ankles!

Oh, and "jbjovifan" is another user- she posted in this topic on the first page of the thread.

Start week 0/ Aug 22 195 lbs
Week 4 / Sept 22 186.5 = 8.5 loss (in first four weeks)
Week 5 / Sept 29 183.5 = 3 loss 11.5 total loss
Week 6 / Oct 7 181 = 2.5 loss 14.0 total loss
Week 7 / Oct 14 178.5 = 2.5 loss 16.5 total loss
Week 8 / Oct 21 182 = 3.5 gain 13 total loss
Week 9 / Oct 27 178.6 = 3.4 loss 16.4 total loss
______________________________________________________________
I worked really hard this week since I had my first GAIN last week due to injury. I worked out 5 days for an hour and a half instead of 4 days for an hour. Three weights sessions instead of two.

I even had a "cheat" last night of 600 calories over goal. But only that once this week.......and I knew I had lost maybe a little too much, so I probably needed it.

YAY for Me!! I am so proud of myself!

Back on track. Don’t give up when you have a setback. Just buckle down and do what it takes!

This is the "Easy-to-read-version" of the next post. I keep forgetting - formatting doesn't copy to MFP from my Word doc. (Remember now - I have OCD! ) Just ignore the next post .....

We're proud of you too Cheryl. I hope when I step on the scale tomorrow I will have lost at least one pound but I haven't been as active this week. But good for you, I know you work hard at it and you are almost always the first person to help someone else out. ~Karen

Way to go Cheryl! I knew you would get right back on track.

Well I have lost quite a bit but as you can see last week wasn't so great as far as losing weight but the inches all around have dropped too. :bigsmile: I have quite a ways to go to get to 150 but seeing is believing and I'm going to keep on working at it. ~karen

cmriverside

kjllose ! Great ! You and I are at about the same place - though I started weight loss at 195 - my highest was 207 a couple years ago.

150, huh? How tall are you - if I may ask - I'm 5'8" and I'm shooting for 158 - I hope I'll be happy with that....but who knows, I have given myself a May 9 deadline.

Good luck !

Eve23

You are doing so well kjllose. Congrats!
I think you and I began this journey near the same time.


I weigh in every day nearly because it helps me stay on track and motivated. I don't ever check in unless I have weighed 3 or more days in a row at the same weight. So today is the 3rd day in a row I have weighed 250. My beginning weight was 280.

30lbs in three months. I am very excited. I am eating about 1400 calories a day and I walk.

Healthier_Me

Well..... I weighed myself this morning and I'm @ 126 pounds.... 1 more pound to goooo!!! :bigsmile:

julieofthewolves

OMG - I can't wait!!!!

I'm totally jazzed for you!

julieofthewolves

By the way Joanne - please don't leave me after you lose that last pound!!! I would be so sad. :sad: if I didn't see your great posts anymore.

You guys are the best. I swear, this morning when I was so tired at the gym I wanted to quit and the thing that kept me going was knowing I was going to weigh myself today and report in!

Jo, GREAT JOB!!! Can you believe it??? One pound... that is only 4 sticks of butter! I have this friend who used to always compare pounds to items of food, so it's a habit of mine. You are such an inspiration. :happy:

alexbrin3

I think that this is a perfect way to be accountable. I just joined recently and have not weighed again since. I am wanting to get back to my pre baby(s) weight. Right now I am at 150. Goal is 120.

You are too funny!:laugh:
Ok... so I have 4 sticks of butter to melt... gotcha:bigsmile:

I hope my journey inspires some people.
You have to stick to it in order to see results.

I may gain a pound back today though... it's that time of month and I need chocolate.
But it's OK... IT IS OK.

I think this is a good idea also. I will post my weight with you. I started at 138 and I am still at 138. This is just not changing. I have been sick for 10 days and unable to go and work out, but as of yesterday I am healthy again, so I am hitting the gym.

Just a note about ice cream, have you tried frozen yogurt, or the skinny cow dairy treats. They are delicious.

I usually put my yogurt in the freezer.... very good during the summer :happy:

Sorry I couldn't get back sooner, very busy lately. Cheryl I am 5'4" tall. When I had kids I gained weight and never lost it. I have a daughter with the same name but different spelling, sherrill, been busy watching contractor building her house.

Najah5150

Accountability is key!! I've done this before and am out to do it again, so here we go........

I just joined today, 9/25 @ 12:00 CST and the scale said 190. I've been a member for 30 minutes now and I haven't lost a single pound yet!!! LOL!!!

2 years ago I lost 90 pounds by simply eating healthier and exercising, so I know it's possible. I just got skinny and cocky, that's all. I thought I could start eating anything I wanted since I was in shape. Boy was I wrong!! So here I am....giving it another go. I know I (and all of you) can do it, so let's share our successes (and slip ups) with each other to stay motiviated!!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

jbjovifan~
if you don't mind me asking...how much have you lost since 9/30. 90 lbs is a pretty good amount of weight to lose. How long did it take you? I lost 30 lbs last year...gained it back of course...so now I'm just trying to get it off again and keep it off for good this time.

Good job Karen!! Keep up the good work. I miss being 179...I wish I were where you are right now. I know...all it takes is work and discipline.
