Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

Didn't sleep last night. Had to get my niece to hospital by 6:00 AM AND I kept waking up checking the clock. Weighed because I have been faithful since Monday and not a lb dropped. decided not to worry about it. The great thing is that my sugar level has dropped and I am almost in the normal range. That is a big non scale victory for me.

Didn't get out of hospital until noon and the best place I could find to eat was Subway. I had their cold cut combo and tossed one piece of the bread. In retrospect, I should have had turkey instead of cold cuts

Still not exercising

EmergencyG – Thanls for the encourgament.

DebcountsALL - Thanks for the encourgagment. That’s a great idea. This week I baked salmon and am eating that but it will be better to vary the meals by freezing them

@debcountsall @KATRENAJ Planning meals is oh so critical. I usually pack 20 almonds in my bag .. but my son raided my almond stash about a week ago and I'm so shocked that I haven't restocked!! The nerve!

@SammyKlingler I would say keep food the same and increase activity. Walk the puppy a little longer... use stairs not elevators, I'm sure you know the drill. Do you garden? I recently started using a FITBIT (but of course phone can serve as FITBIT).. I find it helpful to stay focused on just moving.

@B-lisieux Hi. Always so enjoy your kind and encouraging posts.

@KATRENAJ HUGS!!!

@Birder165 Your attentiveness to people each week is an inspiration. Thank you.

@dakota1961 It truly is an addiction. I have tried different nutritionists... all 3 seemed to lack the psychological aspect. If I down a complete bag of hersheys kisses in one sitting, does it really make sense to tell me to eat one a day? Yikes!

Hahahaha! Oh so many moons ago, I was on Jenny Craig (Wait. Nutrisystem? All of that is a blurr) and they had this huge bag of cheddar flavored "chips" which looked like waffle fries but were light and airy. They were fantastic. We were supposed to eat like 5 of them.

5.

I told them they were crazy, and needed to just incur the cost of single serving packs. The entire room of hopeful weight losers agreed. Loudly.

@tdunnegan Thank you!

I've had a very rough week food wise. Even more than normal. For the first time since January, I didn't log ALL my indiscretions nor did I weigh myself including for this morning's weigh-in. (My day for weighing in is Thursday)

I went to the doctor for an earache and she ordered all kinds of tests and some didn't come back normal so instead of pulling up my socks and tighten up my eating I went completely the other way and scarfed down all the foods that I know give me trouble and are "bad" for me. I do not know why I do this! I can't even call it comfort eating because it gives me no comfort when I'm doing it.

Anyway, today was my first day back to normal eating and I hope to have a good week so I can report a loss next week.

I hope EveryOne is doing well and I'll see you All next Thursday!

@Birder165 Sorry to hear you had a tough week. I have my ups and downs too. Try not to be so hard on yourself. Take it easy. We all have rough days.

It's nice to see a loss this morning since yesterday I was weighing at 298.7 at the doctor's office. That was after breakfast though. I had a check up since my BP was very high 2 months ago, 140/90. Yesterday It was 118/90. So my 2nd number is still high, but he was very pleased with my first number.

I got a fitbit this past week. I think it overestimates my calories, so I don't let myself eat back any of those. One day It said my calorie expenditure was almost 3000! I know I had worked hard in the garden that day, but let's be serious! I'm going to stick with my 1500 to 1800 range as best as possible. I'm not perfect, but more days in goal than out!

I did get my garden all set up. I had to build 2 garden bed fences to keep the bunnies out. One is all squashes (Zucchini, acorn, Jack O'lantern Pumpkin and sugar pie pumpkin), and the other is chard, spinach, herbs, and in the fall, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and maaaybe Brussels sprouts. I think I am also going to plant some beets in there. I have a cucumber to go...somewhere. I'll find space. And my tomatoes and peppers are going in buckets when they get a little bigger.

I am feeling that familiar dip in motivation, like this is too hard, or why bother. I have a good, concrete "why" to keep pushing my forward. But I'm also feeling jealousy. I see others losing more faster than i am. Logically, i know they are using different tools than i am, like my friends that have had surgery. But i feel like its happening too slow. I just needed to vent, refocus, and remember that i didn't gain it overnight, it won't come off overnight

@moodybear2003 It's good to talk about these things. I have been stuck before and I have gained weight back after I lost it. What I'm doing now is to try and track everything that goes in my mouth. I try to drink 8-12 glasses of water everyday. I do regular cardio exercise at a slow but steady pace. I I have cut my sodium to reccomeneded levels. I try to limit my sugar. I don't eat put as much anymore. I hope this helps.

Sorry im a bit late But I have filled it out for so far!

I have no idea why I'm gaining. A nice deficit and running/working out 4 times a week. Fingers crossed for a good week
