Women 200lb+, Let's Step It Up In June!!!

edandpatlockett1 · June 2019

Hello All,

Started this weight journey 1/8 and have lost 41.8 lbs. Of late it has been a struggle with my body, it doesn't want to lose weight despite staying below my calories and exercising faithfully. I am really drawing all the determination to not let it get to me but darn!

Hey Colorado living our numbers are very close. I start at 298. My birthday is in August as well but I will have to lose another 80 to be at the weight I was when I met my guy. Sigh....

SW on 5/28 256.4

GW for 6/30 249.5

Continue to record in food diary daily. Exercise at least three times (2 Hrs. ) a week!

GW 2: 150

We just got back from Disneyland yesterday. I weighed in at 212.6 this morning, which is 3lbs heavier than when I left. I'm thinking some of this is water, as I have sore calf muscles and my feet feel swollen. I ended up with blisters on both feet that caused the way I walk to change. I got a blister on my right foot first and the one on my left the 2nd day. Both are about quarter sized and on the ball of my foot slightly between my toes. It's making walking really painful. I didn't do to well with the water drinking so I'm going to make sure I get my 96oz+ of water today. I REALLY don't want to, but I'm going to have to back off the treadmill use for a week or so to let these blisters heal.

Goals for this week:

- Drink 96oz of water a day
- Stay within calorie goal, especially since I'm not going to be using the treadmill

June 1st update:
2 sets Concentration curls
2 sets Squats
(Very) amateur hour on the tennis court
10 minutes boxing

Meals are cleaner today. Successfully logged everything that went into my mouth.

I’m struggling with the fact that I can only go 10 minutes at this or that before muscles quake and then give.

I'm working with a health coach through Kaiser and my current goals are:
1. Log my food on MFP
2. Use the MyPlate method when planning and serving meals
3. Practice mindful eating instead of fast eating

I'm doing pretty well with #1, and going to plan meals for the week today. I keep forgetting about #3. I also did some exercise today since I don't get as much activity when I'm not working.

So this week for me hasn't been great because I've been snacking the house down. And on Friday, at the gym, I pulled a muscle in my back and had to go to the doctor's it hurt so badly. I've been in bed for 3 days straight and am on lots of meds. And next week, I'm not allowed to exercise at all. So I've really got to my food and snacking under control.

Last week's results:
Log all food = 7/7
Stay under calorie limit = 2/5
30 mins of cardio = 2/3
Strength train = 2/2

Wish me luck.

That's such a bummer! Hope you recover quickly and feel better soon 🙏

Find 1 thing we did right for ourselves today and let that motivate us for tomorrow. One day at a time. One change at a time. We are empowered to care for ourselves. 🥰 Happy Monday & Happy new day !

Changing our mind set

Good luck! I started my weight loss with Weight Watchers and it worked for me twice for about 30 pounds or so. Unfortunately for me I didn't do well with the new Smart Points program but I know so many people who are rocking it and I love looking up WW recipes on Pinterest for meal prep and dinners.

ColoradoLivingg · June 2019

This weekend I did well staying within my calorie range, although I think I went over on Friday but it didn't go up to maintenance calories, so I was still in a small deficit. My husband and I joined a gym with my little brother but I'm not sure if we'll get to go this week, as I seem to have pulled something in my back and need to see my chiropractor now. I was down a bit this morning and hopefully will still be around that on Wednesday for my weigh-in.

Ouch! At least you tracked and didn't go completely of the rails and you still did good with your cardio and strength. I hope you recover quickly and I'm sorry your hurting so badly!

So far since my first post I am doing pretty well. My weight got down to 229.4, so with my goal being to get down to 225 by the end of the month, I’d say I’m well on my way. I’m still in such an early stage of this journey, but I’m getting there. I’m currently down 9.6lbs total, and while I have a long way to go, I’m proud of that progress. I still see no noticeable differences in my body appearance-wise or clothing-wise, but I didn’t at all expect to this early on. I do notice energy differences, which is big for me. Also, some of my friends recommended the app HappyScale to me. I didn’t want to try it at first, because I don’t want a bunch of random apps to aid in my loss, as it’s a lot to keep up with, and mfp was always enough before, but I have to say, I would recommend it to anyone. I’m glad I tried it. It tracks weight loss, predicts patterns in it, identifies your accomplishments, and it makes me feel better about small fluctuations. I used to ignore fluctuations and not record them/think further about them. But now I see why it’s good to track them. It predicts that I’ll reach 223 by the end of June, which is slightly more than the goal I had! So it has me excited to continue on. I hope everyone else is having a great start to their month. We can do this guys!!!!

June 3rd: was able to get 12.5 minutes on the rowing machine, a 6.5 minute improvement. Upped lateral pull weights to 35 lbs. Spent an hour swimming with friends.

I found that my arms don’t tire nearly as easily and that I have more pull in the water. 4 days of strength training and I can feel small victories even if I can’t see them.

Keeping up with food journal and doing well with meal plans.

Raven St. Cloud, you’re amazing. Wishing you a speedy recovery and enjoyable rest until then.

Everyone here, thank you. Each and every one of you make this community worthwhile, and it’s the community more than anything else that keeps me honest with myself when it comes to food and fitness. I appreciate you.
