MEAT Me at the Beach (6/23-6/26 weigh-in)

CAUGHT UP ON POSTS! Please check below, I might have something to say to you. :laugh: I love replying to people.
_________

penny_eclipse... Thanks for sharing all those NSVs! Fantastic!

Rubybelle... Better to eat more in the morning than at night. Gives you more time to work it off. "Breakfast like a queen, lunch like a princess, dinner like a peasant." I totally could use a bit more of that in my life too. Taking healthy snacks is a fantastic idea! "Say NO and deal with being hungry. I'm not going to die from lack of food any time soon" This is addressed in the book "The Beck Diet Solution" if you are interested.

lingading... Congrats on your double NSVs! That's so inspiring that you could enjoy yourself, and then get right back on track. I enjoyed reading your post. :laugh: ("case of the f*ckits")

ASaxe23... "often forget about the weight I've already lost because I get so focused on what I have to lose" I hear that!

maeadair... Congrats on ONEderland!! :drinker:

tim_jennings... Excellent with the pants! I can remember not wanted to dress up for an old-fashioned photo one time because I knew none of the dresses would fit me (and that's when I was young). I bet that outdoor concert was WILD! This concert was practice for the next one! I know you can rock it! Great maintaining this week!

suzooz... I bet you'll be looking in the mirror all the time now! I know I was when I first started actually SEEING the hard work paying off. Good luck at work! You will sort it out.

hdelamore... Congrats on FLYING though this challenge!! Amazing work! Don't set yourself up to think that the next weeks might be a struggle though! No self-fulfilling prophecies around here. :happy: We can do anything we put our minds (and bodies) to.

darlinglc... I loved your "3 other ways you could have solved it?" You DEFINITELY did the right thing, if those were the alternatives!!

candlelady1... I know how you're feeling. I'm totally not eating the way I could/should be, but at least the workouts are coming back now. For me, I've started trying to notice when I am making a decision, and what I am thinking/how I am feeling about making the decision. For example, I decided to put honey in my tea. Normally, I would put in a tablespoon, and then some... and then some more. But I told myself, OK, honey is fine, but I am deciding to just put one tablespoon in. And then I make sure I follow through. Same with exercise. I think if I make more decisions consciously like this, I will be less likely to make BAD ones on the fly whenever I feel like it. Good luck!

klassi101... Congrats on 160's!! I can't wait to see those, but first I gotta get back in the 170's!

jagrib0112... No worries about the weigh in! You're still doing totally awesome. Great loss!

That puts you in the "Getting Rid of Plenty...Trimming 16-20" group

newmeat30... OH NO!! Does that mean I'm gonna get bumped to the next group up? :laugh: I've got 22.8 to lose now, but NOT FOR LONG!

irishrose22... "i think my scale is broke...lol" Most definitely!!

madamelaporte... Don't worry too much! Did you have sodium? That could take a few days to flush out. That's my excuse this week.

MiniMichelle... "I might have to change my overall goals at this point " I know the feeling... HEY! We're about the same weight with almost the same goal. :happy: I won't change mine if you don't change yours. WE CAN STILL DO THIS!!! (<-- determined)

iStace2000... LOTS of people (including me) gained weight on their first week of the Shred. You're gonna get some super fine muscle!!

:drinker: GREAT JOB to everyone seeing progress, and everyone else who's hanging in there like me.

UNHAPPY doesnt cut it. I have put on 3lbs and I have no idea why, I had one bad night at the beginning of the week but other than that Ive been good, so grumpy, I only had 1lb to go to my goal now I have 4lb

back to 130lbs now

it's just a number honey. don't stress about it--if that is possible if your overall pattern is healthy then you are on your way, no matter what the scale's crazy report is recently. keep your chin up!

Current weight: 133lbs.

My goal this week is to not gain weight while I'm at the beach! That's going to be really hard. We eat out alot. I won't be logging in my food but I'll try to eat like I'm at home as much as possible. Wish me luck!!!:ohwell:

iStace2000... LOTS of people (including me) gained weight on their first week of the Shred. You're gonna get some super fine muscle!!

Thanks Steph! This has made me feel much better!

Shred on!! :drinker:

newmeat... Hahaha, thank you!

Wrong WAY! (or should that be WEIGH?) :laugh:

I think I'm going through another 9 pound plateau -- my body started to trade pounds back and forth at 9 pounds, then at 18, now at 27. I think I'm seeing a pattern here.

Based on my Body Bugg, I should be losing weight (yes, I have a spreadsheet!), so the issue is either I am not estimating my calories well, or I am not drinking enough water. Probably both. But the strange thing is that the fat % is going down, even though I am not on my regular exercising schedule.

Goal for this week is to try to eat a little cleaner, doing a little more exercise and start pushing the water (which is always a challenge!)

Current Weight (As of today):223.7

I reached my exercise goal this week (1hour plus I added an extra 20 minutes) and drank all my water. I will have to work on not going over on my calorie intake(last week I had a wedding and a graduation supper for my students- this week should go better, no major outings)

NSV: I measured myself yesterday and lost around 3 inches from my waist and 2 inches from my bust

Thanks for letting me join this challenge! I'm hoping to be a lot thinner by the time the kids start back to school in September. I'm a SAHM, so it's actually easier for me to lose weight in the summer with the kids pulling me in every direction.

I could use more friends for motivation and support (both ways) if anyone wants to add me!
