Those last 15 pounds
Replies
-
So finally had my Wednesday weigh in. Last wednesday 134.4, today 133.8. So techincally down. But I had been as low at 133.2 a few days ago. I tend to have weight fluctuations durin a normal week but this time I find it pretty frustrating. Didn't net 1 lbs lost and I have been working hard on food and exercise. Hoping next week is better.
Hormones play a part especially when we are counting the tenth of a pound:) depending on the time if month ..... Don't give up. Exercise and eating healthy is never in vain0 -

So email the link to yourself. Open the link on a computer (I use computers at local library ) and u can edit. I'm tech impaired but I did it! Hope this helps.
Next time I'm on computer I'll check to see if you are on if not I'll add. May be a couple days. If someone else will help sooner that would be great.0 -
Thanks guys for being awesome ... Trying to say positive and focus on the things I can change and do so workouts and food. Hoping the scale will be a little kinder as I go.0

Worst week ever guys.
Back injury + muscle swelling + stomach bug bloat = I'm up 2 pounds since Monday. Nearly 3.
What do?

I love it when others notice you have lost weight! My college students today commented on how good I was looking and a few people I work out with. Amazing how it takes weeks for others to notice but it sure does make you feel good!

Oh man that sucks. I'm sorry. But try to rest your body. It needs it. Hydrate, rest and get back on it next week. Right now let you body heal.

MFP is having GUI issues today, at least on my phone. I can't seem to find the link to the page, but I realized today that I forgot to log in my week for my first week. Unfortunately, I went up half a pound, so I am up to 131 pounds. Boo. But at least I feel myself getting fitter, especially when I put my hands on my waist, so I think it's just the muscle building I have been doing.I will try to get my next weigh-in in a couple of days.0

I'm headed into a big party weekend. I'm gonna enjoy a few unhealthy things. I will be careful to minimize the damage as I know I have to weigh in on Sunday.

It really is the hardest. I lost 195lbs in 1 year but have been stuck in the 180s for the past year. I used to weigh 377lbs and now I weigh 182lbs. I actually probably need to lose a little more than 15 more pounds but that is my goal for now. Anyone feel free to add me!0

How terrible for you !! hang in there ! It may just be fluid gain if you are staying with a calorie deficit. Take it easy, rest, drink plenty, wait a week and see how you are doing.light_bloom wrote: »Worst week ever guys.

The injuries may feel better with ice or heat, depending on the injury.
Well, look at it this way, at least all this happened the same week and not over a month.

commander, Yes, the scale may not move much but your inches may be less. Have you taken your measurements?
Keep up the good work !!!0 -

You bet ya, I'm in for the last 13 lbs to my UGW, GW actually only 6 lbs away now... Want to be at UGW for 23rd July 2015 when we go on a beach holiday. That is .7 of a lb a week which is actually quite a tough target... Good luck everyone...

Well Ofcourse the scale is nice the day after my official weigh in day. Down 1 lb. I have a little sheet on my wall with my weekly weigh loss goals. I am now .2 away from next Wednesday's goals. I know I will have some up and down on the scale by then but hopefully down enough to make the next goal.
So glad to have this group/thread and accountability.0 -
That...is...awesome! Kudos to you!!! You just need a little push to get you to that last 15 pounds! Good luck and I am glad to meet you!brittanyleigh1220 wrote: »It really is the hardest.

Yes! Exactly what I'm talking about. 15 would be awesome, but even 10 would make me happy. I've worked hard over the past year and have gained a lot of strength, endurance, and muscle. However, my diet gives me the biggest challenge to seeing the results in the mirror. I want to be held accountable for my choices in that regard and my resulting weight. Feel free to add me! Btw, my wedding is coming up so I need to make this happen!!0

I'm in...added myself to the spreadsheet. I entered what I weighed on the 1st as my starting weight. I've been struggling with this for six months. Plus stress at work training a new person so I can retire at the end of March. I am definitely a stress eater. This will be great! Thanks everyone!

Of course we love new friends!you can be so proud of your accomplishments over the last year. To lose more you must start from here. Use the same determination on the next goal ax u did the last goal .brittanyleigh1220 wrote: »It really is the hardest. I lost 195lbs in 1 year but have been stuck in the 180s for the past year.

Try not to get frustrated, it looks like you have a lot going on. Get back on track when you're feeling better.0 -
I weighed in at 127 pounds today so cancelled out last week's gain.
so 1 pound down so far. Pitiful really.
V Jealous of those 3 lb losses so I'm going to give it everything this week.
Just 7 days with my focus on Sundays weigh in.
keep going everyone!!!!

So this week has been a roller coaster for me...broke my tooth last sunday..got into the dentist Friday- thought they would be doing a root canal and fixing my tooth...nope...thats scheduled for the 24th!!!!! Not in pain but it is uncomfortable and limiting some of my poor food choices so that is a plus...eating a lot of soup....then to top it off I was sick all day yesterday...barely got out of bed...also ate next to nothing...we will see where this leaves me on the weight loss train.....0

I'm also on my last 15...yesterday it was 14. I know it's going to slow down from here, but I'm still pushing forward and making it my goal to remain focused. Anyone can add me for support. 0

My week wasn't great. My weight was up this morning, but my food choices have been much better yesterday and today. Next Sunday will be a terrific weigh in! I make my breakfast and lunch the night before, so there is no question what I am eating at work. It's after work that I get myself into trouble, but if I don't buy it...I can't eat it.
I'll be able to get outside for a walk when I get home tomorrow. I got almost 12 Fitbit miles done today. Five miles of it I walked with my DH and grandpuppy, Bean, and then I went off by myself for a little quicker 4.5 miles...I love the longer days! This next week will be much better. I have 15.2 pounds to go.

I'm with you guys... bad week this week. I step on the scale tomorrow but I don't expect much change. I need to get back to food and exercise like week 1. That's my challenge this week... no soda, no snacking calories, and monitoring my other food intake (and logging it in the food diary). Big exams coming up so this makes it extra challenging.
Anyone have any REALLY quick/easy dinner ideas that are low calorie they want to share for this week? I don't have much time to spare this week to grocery shop or cook, so minimal ingredients, and little prep/cook time would be great.
