| Weight Loss | You HAVE TO let the body stabilize? | Nov 23 2009 22:37 (UTC) |
2 |
| I, too, have lost 67 pounds in a year but I did it with regular visits to my Dr. He saw nothing wrong with my losses as they slowed down over time...I'm losing about 1/2 a pound a week now. I stopped losing for a while when I hit 180 and my Dr. said it was normal for my body to stop losing weight once I lost 15-20% of my original body weight. Increasing my calories for a week or two would be a good idea as it would perk up my metabolism. I did this and, once I reduced my cals, I lost again. Maybe this is what your Dr. was trying to say.
I see nothing wrong with eating maintenance, especially with Christmas coming up. Just don't go crazy and lose control. Getting all your bloodwork checked is great idea. I have low thyroid but have never had to have my meds changed since I started this journey. I get my levels checked every 3 months though. Keep your chin up. Things will turn around. |

START Nov 12-14: 158.4 total Lost: 2.0 I think my exercising is finally paying off. On October 30th I got laid off from my landscaping job and promised myself I would get at least 90 minutes of exercise 6 days a week. First week I gained 1.4...the next I lost that 1.4 and now, three weeks later, I am finally seeing some nice losses. Shows that you have to give your body time to adjust to a new program...it takes time! Just have patience and stick with it! 2 weeks to my vacation and 2 pounds to a normal BMI - my main goal for being here! |

| Weight Loss | BodyBugg | Nov 16 2009 16:46 (UTC) |

I bought a used body bugg from ebay and the person just gave me their user name and password and I went in and changed everything to match me (height, weight, etc). You have to buy a memebership to access the account 'cause your basically renewing theirs. The only thing I couldn't change was the start weight and date. Their food log sucks as there isn't much in the database so I still logged my food here. I lost about 15 pounds using the Bodybugg, but I stopped using it cause it kept turning off while I was wearing it. It makes these weird chirping noises when it goes off and on and it was really annoying. The techs at the call center sid it was because I am always cold and the goosebumps interfere with the sensors connecting to my skin. The told me to wear more clothes - this was in JULY! That's nuts! Besides that, I found it too time consuming. I spent a lot of time looking at the display to see how many calories I could eat...if I could sneak in a treat...downloading info..reading the reports and recommendations...measuring myself...adjusting my meal plans...I think it really overestimated my calorires burned too....sometimes it was over 4,000! I much prefer CC...it takes less time, it seems more accurate as long as I am honest, and there is a ton of support here. I've made good friends....and they don't wake me up at night with their electronic chirping cause I rolled over and the sensors lost contact. After three nights of that, my husband made me take it off before bed! yeesh! |

START Sept 3-5: 165.8 YAY! Got rid of that 1.4 from last week and am back where I was the end of October - my lowest weight ever that I can remember. Measurements: Total Inches lost: 6.5" This challenge really kept me going this time. I nearly gave up and went to maintenance around the middle of September, but everyone here reminded me how far I had come and that the goal was so close..."don't give up!" you said! I listened to all you wise people and got back on track. As the numbers show, I'm finally starting to see a dramtic change in my shape. My love handles are disappearing and there are no more muffin tops over my jeans. I don't fill out my shirts the way I used to, but a proper bra fitting solved that problem nad now my girls are perkier than ever! (Can't believe that I said that!!!) Anyway, thanks to everyone for keeping me in the fight. Looking forward to another 10 weeks where I can finally say I am not 'overweight' - only 4 pounds to go!

START Sept 3-5: 165.8 I think my intense exercise program may be to blame for this gain. I am sore, sore, sore which means I'm retaining water in my muscles...hopefully I'll see this gain disappear by next week - or at least before I go on vacation on the 5th |

AGE: 39 I started a new exercise program this week that involves 100 minutes of exercise every day (Saturday's off). I think my body isn't very sure of what I am doing to it as I could hardly move at one point this week. I'm planning on sticking to it - we'll see what happens next week. |
