I wake up like that because of my stocks. On the weekends I don't wake up as much during the night so I'm sure it's the stock market. I'm very actively involved in it.
Try not to focus on the number of pounds you need to lose. You're doing the right thing and it will take care of itself in time. I don't know about everyone else but...the time flies by for me. Try to project ahead to Christmas and see your self- image thinner then. It will be here in a blink of an eye. I start to panic in September thinking how fast Christmas is coming and how I have nothing for anyone. I'm very picky in my gift giving so it's very hard for me to buy stuff if I don't think it's the perfect gift.
When I need it I have a protein shake an hour before, if my meal is going to be delayed and I'm starving. I'm sure that's just fine.

That’s a really good way to look at things. I do sometimes get stuck on the amount I have to lose and think it feels impossible. But you’re right, time flies!
I am WEAK! Haha. I weighed myself today. I was supposed to wait until Monday morning. Oh well. Maybe I’ll cut back to weighing every few days for awhile.
198.8!!!

Well today ended up being a major cheat day but I’m fine with it. I don’t even want to call it a cheat day. It was a fun day and I loved every second of it.
We took the kids to the river and had a picnic (so I had lunch) and then swam and hung out for 4 hours. Left the river and picked up ice cream. Then grabbed burrito bowls on our way home.
I’m sunburnt and exhausted.
It really was just a perfect day. Kids got along for the most part (miracle) and it was just so nice out there.1 -
Nice forever memories As long as we get back on the train all is good

I weighed myself yesterday and it was back up to 200.6 and this morning all the way up to 202! Yikes.
But really, I’m not that upset because I started my period yesterday so I feel like that’s probably part of it. I also barely drank water yesterday just because I couldn’t stomach it for some reason. I might try not to weigh again until after my period is over.
We are all so sunburnt! Ugh. We used sunscreen but it didn’t work for some reason. I even reapplied it to everyone after a couple hours. I feel so awful that the kids got burned. They are ok and it’s not too bad but seeing them a little red hurts me. I’m supposed to be out walking but the idea of putting on a bra and real shirt sounds awful. I better suck it up because I’ve got work tomorrow.1 -
YASSSSSSSS for being under 200!!! The period weight will go away and you'll be back under your first milestone So exciting!!! 0

Def temp weight The sun seems hotter than ever. I have to go walk before 8:30 am or it's just too much. I'm sorry you all got sunburned, sounds like you took good precautions. Hope everyone feels better soon 0
-
Aww..sorry to hear about your sunburn Whenever AF comes for her visit, I will put on weight. However, the good news is, when she leaves, I can always see that the scale will show my true weight So, I am sure you have hit your 1st milestone Keep up the good work 0

I’m at 198.0 this morning.
Super sleepy today. I haven’t been sleeping well. I’m really glad it’s my last day at work for the week. I feel like I could just lay my head down right now and nap.
I honestly wish I would have cheated today and brought lunch to work. I’m being trained for a new position and not only I’m a feeling sleepy and lightheaded but I’m also worried my stomach is going to growl while everyone’s hovering over me.

That's amazing news on 198 👍👏❤️ I haven't been sleeping well lately either, worrying about how this COVID-19 is slowly creeping into my little country town😢 Congrats on your new position ❤️0

198 woohoo!
Hope you can catch up on some zzzz's. Does iphone have a sleep tracking ap? Maybe see if you can track it and see when you're waking up. I take 2 generic benadryl every night. If I don't... I wake up wayyyyyy too many times. I fall asleep super easily but wake up through the night. Bonne nuit et bons reves.1 -
Welcome to onederland. Congrats!!!1

Slept a bit better last night. Probably because I didn’t have work today. I get stressed if I wake up too early and know I have to be up for work in a couple hours. Like if I wake at 4:30 I’ll think “hurry and go back to sleep because you’ve only got 2 hours left to sleep” and then I end up not being able to go back to sleep.
Still sleepy though. Still laying in bed being lazy. It’s fine because I have to mow in a couple hours so I’ll be getting my exercise.
Scale says 197.6 this morning! 0 -
You are doing awesome..wohoo!!! Congrats on 197.6 0

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ONEDERLAND!!!! Great work boo!!!0

My weight normally goes up a little on the weekends because we eat out normally but this morning was 197.4 so that little .2 is making me happy.
I’ve done pretty good the last two days.0 -
Very nice! See if we just stay consistent we can lose. Nuttin' fancy 0

Hi Leah ---just reading your post and WELCOME to Wonderland you are doing awesome.....just keep on omading on and you will get to where you want to be.....I was well over 200 when I started.....and it can be done......
I am like you though....once I wake up the monster I can eat and eat just mindless crap like carbs or crackers.......I had a major snacksaddint before vacay.......just coulnd't stop it with animal crackers......but I just moved on the next day and put it behind me.....but the amazing thing about this group and these lovely peeps is we all screw up.....we confess it and move on.....no one here is perfect and that is why i fit in so well......
I am your neighbor to the south ---and man it is hot here.....I am so ready for summer to be over........I am in TN

Oh man. I did perfect today but made Cajun chicken pasta for dinner and....ugh. I ate way too much. It was yummy though.0

196.8
I’ve lost exactly 17 lbs. That seems like a lot. I really need to focus on that number because it IS a good amount. I’m having a little bit of a problem feeling like I look the exact same as I did before I started. My clothing size hasn’t changed and I still look the same in the mirror.
My clothes might be fitting a little better but I don’t know if that’s just in my head or not. I just want to hurry up and be in the stage where I can buy new clothes and feel good about myself. I’m sure that’s what everyone wants. It’s still just hard to be happy with 196.8 when most of my life I’ve been significantly smaller.
But 17 lbs is A LOT!!!0 -
You are so right, 17 is a lot! And congrats on getting that far....It is so awesome!!!!! And even though you may not see anything with clothes fitting better that is really good! Sometimes when I look in the mirror I still see my 200+ self......it is just a thing I think that most women struggle with.
Super proud of you!!!! 1 -
Thanks. And I know 17 lbs isn't really a huge amount compared to other people here and compared to what I still have to lose...but I only decided to lose weight on 6/10 (and started OMAD on 6/12) so 17 lbs is a lot in that amount of time. If you would have told me 2 months ago that I was going to lose almost 20 lbs, I would have been jumping up and down with excitement.
But now I'm just like "huh...I'm still fat."
It'll be ok though. I really need to figure out how to get more exercise in. I had that plan of walking 4 days a week but that has proven to be harder than I expected. I don't know why. I think partially because weekend mornings are cuddle time so it's hard to cut that short.0 -
LMAO our brains are funny like that!!! 17 pounds is FABULOUS!!! Esp in what amounts to 7 weeks!!! FABUOUS!!!0
-
17 pounds in 7 weeks - that’s an amazing achievement👍👏😘 I know how you feel though, whenever I look in the mirror, I still see myself at my HW. Keep up the good work 👍🥰0

Still alive. Weekend has been good but not great food wise. Not BAD but not great. We always eat out on the weekends so it’s never perfect but my husband and I have such different priorities when it comes to dieting. It makes weekends hard sometimes. Like this weekend we had a little date night and he wanted to get a special drink (not alcoholic, just calories). I hate drinking my calories (because I love food) but I told myself that it was ok because it was a date night. Then the next morning he wants to go out to breakfast. UGH. I’m not a breakfast person at all so ruining my calorie count on breakfast sounds AWFUL. So I said I didn’t want to and he got upset. Then we were kind of snippy with each other.
And it does suck for him because he LOVES breakfast. We sort of compromised and now we’re having breakfast for dinner tomorrow. Yay... Lol
We also had a movie night and I mindlessly munched on popcorn.
I’m kind of irritated with myself.0 -
Ate lunch today because we had a picnic at the veterans cemetery where my father in law is buried. Every few months we try to go up there for a picnic and visit. It’s a pretty area and has a nice walking trail around a small pond. It was a very pretty day.
So I ate a smaller than normal dinner tonight.
I haven’t really weighed myself this weekend but I expect that I’ve probably stayed the same or went up a little.0 -
I seem to be a little stuck right now at 195ish. Went from 195.8 to 195.6 to 195.4 and back to 195.8 this morning. Ugh. I know it’ll keep moving down eventually.0
