  • So, apparently my rib cage is shrinking faster than the girls are. Either that or they've really shrunk the cup sizes these last few years. Went to Victoria's Secret today and got measured because I knew my current bras were way too big. Went from a 40C to a 36DD. I about fell over. They're really not that big, IMO. But…

  • Yes, my husband is quite depressed about it too. :sad:

  • Great job! I felt like doing cartwheels when I hit the 170s recently! I got down to 175 when I was sick a couple weeks ago, but I'm back up to 179. I'm guessing it is because I hardly ate anything during the week I was sick and I didn't exercise at all. Now I guess I'm retaining water weight and fluids from exercising.…

  • It most definitely could be cycle related. And I guess I do obsess a little too much. But I was so excited to be nearing the next "decade" and now I'm not near that number anymore. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and try to stay away from the scale for awhile. :(

  • Ohhhhh OREOS!! My favorite store bought cookie of all time! Double Stufs even. My DH came home yesterday and said "I'm not trying tempt you, but I saw Mega Stuf Oreos today". My reaction? "Don't you DARE bring them into this house!" I'm slowly learning to not give in to temptation, but it's definitely slow! I don't need to…
    in (rant) "Help, I can't eat enough calories!" Comment by jltotaro February 2013
  • Thank you all for your kind words. I'm still majorly bloated and I've been drinking tons of water to try to flush out all the sodium. Going to class soon to work off some calories!
    in I caved Comment by jltotaro February 2013
  • THIS. Our karate instructor constantly tells us this. And that is minimum on days you're NOT exercising. If you're exercising, you should drink more than that. Now me, I have been trying, but I have to pee ALL the time!!!

  • I'm really glad you posted this topic. I've been wanting the same type of "quick fix" because we're headed to Vegas for a wedding first weekend of April and I really want to be down a LOT of weight. But looking at the responses, it looks like I should just keep doing what I've been doing and maybe, just maybe start…
    in should I lower my calories??? Comment by jltotaro January 2013
  • I weigh myself all the time. But I only record it when it shows a loss. I would get discouraged otherwise. :)

  • Thank you for all your replies. FitBit sounds like something I'd like to play around with as well. Especially to monitor my sleep patterns. I wake up a lot at night. Thanks!!

  • To be fair, ice cream and cake are not the norm, it was my birthday on Wednesday and my hubby got me a delicious cake! :) thankfully it was small and disappeared very quickly. You're right about breakfast. I'm usually in a hurry in the morning and food isn't top priority. I will try to work on that. Maybe look at two/three…
