Vent Moment: It was a slap in the face this week. I really tried to loose this week. wrote down what I ate, exercised even when I REALLY hurt, but did it anyway. I really tried this past week..... NOTHING !! Ironic how some are trying their best to get "out" of the 30's and here I am trying my best to get "into" the 30's.6 -
Wow, took me awhile to catch up.
YES...we welcome anyone at anytime throughout the year.
I want to send out a welcome to: rachjolly, Dianastopheny, KeepOnMoving, jennifersusan and misparalegal.
We are always here for all of you, at any time. As you can see, someone is always logging in every day. We can always come with our joys, vents, sadness, and happy dances. We are here for you.
rachjolly - I can so relate to you girlfriend. back in 2005 I lost 143pds, once I stopped, I gained it all back. I lost 86pds 4yrs ago, yup, you guessed it, gained it all back...and more. It seems when I get to where I want to be, I don't know what to do. It seems the word "maintain" is not in my brain capacity. We are in this walk together.
sweetrollz - I exercise every day and after a while it does get easier, BUT, you need to listen to your body. If you need to take a day off, take one. When I lost 143pds I walked on my treadmill 15min a day, every day. That was it, 15min a day every day, but I'm an outdoors person, I have to keep busy. OH...and half a cupcake is awesome. I could NOT have eaten only half. Be proud of yourself.
celticck - I can relate to not getting a good sleep. It's like my brain just won't slow down. I had to go to a hospital specialist and they had to put me on some pills. Good thing is, they don't seem to make me groggy in the morning.
I was a prison guard for 24yrs and I HAD to be on top of my game when I went to work, sleep is also important when trying to lose weight as well.6 -
Woohoo I finally got some sleep. Fitbit app says 7.50 hours, which is more than normal - I usually average 5.5-6.5 hours. I took an over the counter sleep aid, I am not sure if it was that or my body just shut off. I will continue to take the sleep aid for the rest of the week in the hopes that it will reset my body and allow me to get back to my normal.
After averaging about 2-2.5 hours for the past few weeks this feels wonderful. For most of the day my headache went away too.
I can, however, feel myself ready for sleep even as I type this but it is 1358 (or 1:38p) so going to bed is not an option. I am trying to stick to a routine and seeing if that helps also.
I did a weird workout yesterday too. My brain was so foggy that I ended up missing some of my favorite exercises. But I got through it. One day at a time. The scale has stopped moving but I am also hopeful because I know a lack of sleep can really affect your body.
One step at a time, one day at a time, one pound at a time.2 -
To my fellow nor-easters, 'WHERE IS SPRING !!" My word. It was 20 degrees this morning, It feels like 31 degrees now and the wind is just a whippen. I went out to try to finish stacking a half a cord of wood and decided to come back in for a hot chocolate ( sugar-free ). I don't know about you but 60 degrees would feel R..E..A..L nice right now, on a constant basis.
So tell me, is there anything profound that you have learned since the world stopped turning ( virus )?
Has there been any eye opening moments that you've learned ?1 -
I would like to start this challenge. I have struggled with my weight for the past 4 years, gaining more each year. I'm ready to get back to healthy. At my healthiest and fittest I weighed 150 lbs. I would like to get back to there. I am currently 217. I know I need to get more active and back to good eating habits. I hope you all will help with my accountability and motivation.1

Wednesday Weigh In!
Height: 5'7”
Starting weight: 296 (1/1/20)
Current weight 270
I've weighed 270 the last two mornings after three weeks bouncing between 271 and 272, and so while it may be a continuation of the plateau, it may also be the beginning of the whoosh. We'll see in the next few days. I know my weight loss has slowed because I'm depressed (it's the whole COVID thing) and that's okay. I am just getting through this, as we all are. If I can keep eating sensibly and keep stretching, once I get back to the gym the weight will fall off, because it did before the shutdown. I don't know that I'll make the month's goal, but I'll hold course and keep doing the right things.

katwoman - welcome, you are getting virtual hugs from all of us right now. You are in a good mind set to get started cuz you took the time to sit down and look for us, join us and admit to us where you are right now. That is the first step in accountability. The rest is checking in and keeping motivated. We all have our ultimate goal but for right now, aim for losing 5%, then 10%, 25% etc. a small step to aim for. Let me tell you, when you reach one of your goals, it is sooo awesome. Just think what the big goal is going to feel like.
We're here for you.2 -

I'm 5' 9", so I need to lose just 2.6 more pounds to shed the "obese" label according to the BMI. It would be awesome to do that by the end of April, so that may just be my motivation for an extra health-conscious week! It's a little more than I normally lose in a week though, so I'll try not to be too disappointed if I don't make it. Wish me luck, friends!11 -

Total April loss: 5 lbs (April Finished weight 230)
So I seem to be on this trend of a big month then a low month. I guess. I'll take the 5 pounds this month. I was hoping for more but things have been off so here it is. A total loss of 40 pounds since my highest weight in Dec 2019.
My first goal was 230 pounds and I hit it. My next goal is 200 pounds.
I got to spend some time on my motorcycle this weekend, did some isometric core exercises while I was on the bike. LOL my ab's were screaming at me yesterday. But it was a great ride and a really good core workout so I am happy with it.

I think I need to tighten up on my measuring and weighing. I haven't been and that may be why I plateaued.
Today I clean the downstairs and also have to go to the pharmacy for one of Boyfriend's essential meds.

NOT a good month for me this month. Not even 5pds, that's sad.
BUT... at least I crossed the bridge into the 30s.2 -
@ladycopnh1 sometimes our bodies just don't react the way we want. You're still headed in the right direction, and I'll bet you'll be kicking butt in May!2

I've been feeling a little descouraged because even tho I've been trying to do some kind of exercise. I still cant do my walking. I end up eating the calories I've burned. So my weight is all over the place.3 -

Well, this was not a good week for me. I avoided the scale because I knew it would not be good. I could not seem to stop eating. I didn't do a good job of preparing meals and healthy snacks and made a lot of unhealthy choices. I'm all for eating a cookie now and then, but I just kept going back for more this week. I'm not really sure what's going on mentally/emotionally now that wasn't going on in the previous weeks, but maybe I'm just getting more and more stir crazy. Oh well. I lost .2 pounds, which is better than gaining! I'm optimistic that this is just a temporary setback. I hope you all have a good week!4 -
Start of April.
April 3rd 205.5
April 9th 204.5
April 23rd 201.5
April 30th 202. I was pretty good so next week I should see a drop. I always go up once a month. Since I'm just starting I'm not sure what week that will be. So I'm okay with 3.5 this month.4 -
Well my sleep is still a mess and I indulged and had a sundae last weekend. I am hoping that I do not cave this weekend. It is getting harder. While I am naturally an introvert I still like my people. I miss seeing my sisters and friends and especially my nieces and nephews. I usually have lunch with at least 1 of the kids once or twice a month. I am 'lucky' in that I can still go to work but since I now work in the office we are all pretty isolated there too.
Positives are that I am getting more comfortable in the smaller size pants and as soon as I can go to the store for clothes again I will get me some more. I ordered a new vest and it fits great. So I will be good for riding once the weather gets better.
I see it in the mirror and feel it when I am moving around that I have lost size. The scale is still being a bit stubborn though.
Hope everyone is doing well out there. Be kind to yourself.
