Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

@happygirlxxx GREAT NEWS!!!

@happygirlxxx that is the fantastic news!!!!

Well I made it to workout today, so go me. I spent 30 min using the weight machines. I spent a lot of time doing arm exercises and my arms feel like they are going to fall off right now. I dread how tomorrow will feel. But the results will be worth the effort.

@happygirlxxx - so glad the great came out in your favor. As for the weight gain, trust me, much of that is water. Get back on track today and when you step on the scale tomorrow you will see a big drop. The day after, a little more. After that, it's "real" and you just gotta work it. And you WILL! Don't beat yourself up about it - that just makes it worse.

I am sorry also, group, for having such a bad week weigh-wise ... I didn't overeat on any day, it's just that I'm in the 'hold-it' stage of tummy-work and hope things will have evened out by next week's weigh-in.

@happygirlxxx ... so glad to hear that news!

@happygirlxxx So glad to hear your results!!! What wonderful news! I agree with @birgitkwood ... I am sure much of that is water. I know that you will now fully focus and continue to inspire us all with your workout reports and recipes!

AFM -- Well... still recovering from the foot surgery and so so so so anxious to get back to physical activity. I have some personal stress family drama happening right now so the fact that I am not binging my troubles away is a major NSV. On the scale I went up a bit this week and I am exactly where I started at the beginning of this challenge. I am absolutely not going to reach my challenge goal but I am so grateful for this challenge because its making me accountable... and given my current situation, I could have really put on the pounds if I let myself. Today is a good day.

@ana-- so happy to hear your good news!!

AFM-- well, it's coming off really, really slowly, but at least the scale is moving in the right direction. I know in part, it's due to my own inconsistencies. I tend to have one or two days/week where I'm not eating very healthily, and that bumps the scale back up, but at least it's coming back down a tiny bit lower each week.

Friday fitness:
Got to the gym Monday and Wednesday, and I plan to go again tomorrow. Getting back into running has been more difficult than it ever was in the past.

@cellosmiles Sorry you've been sick. Hope you are 100% recovered! That wasn't a fun way to lose some weight!

@skinnyjeanzbound Slow and steady wins the race.

@raindogmaa I would say you definitely had a huge NSV this week with all that have going on. It would have been so easy to binge but you didn't. Way to go!!! Pat yourself on the back!

@happygirlxxx That kind of one week weight gain is water. I agree completely with @birgitkwood. It will come off before you know it, a little more each day.

We are having a family birthday dinner here today for my daughter. I've already entered the dinner into my journal and can plan the rest of my day around it. My granddaughter is coming home from college for it and I'm looking forward to seeing her. I made one of her favorite snacks that she loves....sadly I love it too. It's called Chocolate Chip Cheeseball. That will be very hard to stay out of but I'll try. Tomorrow we are supposed to go to a Super Bowl party but now they are calling for snow so maybe we'll just stay home. That wouldn't break my heart. I'm not into football at all, don't even understand the game, plus I can control my own food. Let it snow. LOL Have a great Saturday everyone!

I guess I had better revise my goal to just getting back into Onederland! Had a little set back this week, nothing major but left me very tired everytime I tried to do anything. So...basically just read and ate! Amazing I still managed to lose what I had gained the previous week, water weight after surgery???? Will have the challenge numbers shortly!

Hi! This seems like a really nice thread of lovely people. I'd love to join in.
My name's Katrina. I'm 36, a stay at home mom of two boys (4 & 8yrs) and I'm starting a weight loss journey (AGAIN). Actually, it took me a lot of courage to get back on the wagon this time after losing and gaining the same 50+ pounds three times over the past 8 years! Fear of failure had kept me from trying again. But, I've been back at it for about a month now and down from 302 to 289. I know I need a closer community and accountability this time.
