So I drank a ton of water yesterday and I do feel better but my weight only went down to 169.6. Bleh! How did I get like this :(

Hey Everyone!

Looks like I came back at a good time! I was MIA and gained a few lbs. I dont know what happened, I just lost focus. I have been back on track for about a week now.

High Weight 170

Current Weight 167.6

Goal Weight 130

I would like to be at 150 by September 1st.

2 weeks ago: 161.6

Last week: 164

This week 162.4

I am all over the place, i was hoping I would drop back to 161.6 after my period and wine trip. But hey I ate and drank like crazy for basically 2 weeks, did not excersize at all and only gained .8. Back on the wagon this week! My new goal is to be under 160 by May 5th (Cinco De Mayo) and conveniently a weigh in day :)

Good news! So I weighed in today and was back down to 161.4. I had a few cocktails last night so it could be dehydration but I dont care!

I trashed 1 girls desk so it looked like she got robbed. There are 5 others on my team and I taped the recievers down and turned the volumes all the way up. I hooked all the paper clips on there desks together so when they grabbed 1 they all came out and I taped there mouses too. I also took all there chairs and hid them and replaced with crappy chairs that dont roll or turn or anthing. Once girl keeps a vanity mirror on her desk so I printed out a picture of a monkey and taped it to her mirror.

Then I went on break and came back and they tried to get me back. They turned the ringer up on my phone and had one of my friends call me. I answered the phone and my friend kept asking me if there was something on my phone, I am like no what do you mean. The girls had smeared Bengay all  on the inside of the phone thinking that I would grab the phone in a hurry since the ringer was so loud. But I didnt and the way I picked the phone up it didnt even touch me! It did smell though!

This was also going around at work and my co worker did it to her husband (who didnt get it at all.) She texted him and said some guy left a message for you on my phone and sd you need to call him back. His name is Ryan D. Lyon and then she gave him the # to the local Zoo. He then texted her back "that # was for the zoo, will you check it and see if thats the right #?" He didnt get it but it was hillarious! She had him call back twice to see if there was a Ryan D Lyon there, unfortunately the Zoo # is all automated so he never talked to a live person.

Fun Day!

LW: 146.8

CW: 149.8

Excuse me while I have yet another pity party.  I don't understand what's going on!  I didn't really expect to lose much because I ate at maintenance for a few days last week since my in-laws were in town. But the past few days, I've been staying at or above 148.  I feel like I've been stuck here for weeks, with the scale occasionally going down to 146-147.  I'm so frustrated.  If I were already at a healthy BMI, I would understand losing weight really slowly. But I'm not!!!  I started at 152.4 back in early December.  So this is all I have to show for three months of calorie counting and exercise.  I did take my measurements a couple weeks ago.  I don't know if they've changed since December, but if they have it's not much because my clothes aren't really fitting better.

I really wanted to be solidly in the 130s by the end of May, but at this point I don't see how I'll get there.  I just want my shorts from last summer to fit. That's all I'm asking at this point.  They fit when I was at 142.  Ugh. 

ETA: Meant to post my measurements!

Chest: 39

Waist: 33.5 uuuuggggghhhhhh....

Hips: 40

Thighs: 24

 

 Hang in there! This happens to me a lot too and it is very frustrating. This week was the first week I had a loss since like Christmas so I totally feel ya!I am sure when your in laws were in town you probably ate a little more and the food you ate was probably not as healthy. Drink lots of water and make sure to get some excersize(or a little extra) and just focus on making good choices this week. Count all your calories and make sure your not eating more than you think.  Dont stress and weigh in next week and I bet it will go down! You may not make it to 130 by May but at least you wont be at 152, right? But you might make it to 130 some time in the summer and you will be getting smaller and smaller until you get there! Good Luck!

Hey alist_shazz

I cook a hot meal almost every night for my BF and his friend (he lives close.) They dont mind healthy food at all! As long as I cook it they eat it! I use lowfat cheeses and sour cream. ICBINB instead of regular butter. I add extra veggies to everything and they dont even care. There are some things I wont skimp on because they just dont taste good but I just eat a little bit and make them eat the rest! If I make spaghetti I just have sauce and bread and a little noodles or I make a side of veggies and add the sauce to that.

As far as the late night snacking, I have the same problem. Yesterday I was completely satisfied and wasnt going to eat anything else. Then the boys decided it was desert time and broke out some candy bars, I ate half of a snickers almond bar! I hate when I do that, but yet I keep doing it!

Well, I hope there's someone reading me today, because after my post yesterday morning and S.O.S signs... I weight in today, I've down to 146.3 it's my lowest since I can remember!!!!!! I'm so so so so happy I really needed to share it with you...

Have a great week everyone 

 I am here! Thats great! I cant wait to be back at 146! I remember being there and thinking I was so big and now i cant wait to be that small again!  I am also feeling better today. I lost my 4lbs of water weight basically over night! Thank Goodness. I am back at 164, so I didnt lose any but at least didnt gain any this week. Better luck next week!

Well my home computer crashed and I have been super busy at work. So I havent been on and havent posted my weight (I secretly didnt want to.) My weight on Wednesday was 164! Up 3lbs. ERRRRRR. So frustrating. It is TOTM and some friends and I rented a beach house last weekend and indulged in good food and drinks so I am sure it will level out. I am just irritated with myself because I was hoping to have lost a little weight before my birthday on 3/16 and instead I gained weight.

I have been using my Body Bugg and I LOVE IT! Granted it is expensive and it alone will not make you lose weight but it has been motivating me to move more. I honestly thought I only burned around 1600-1800 calories a day and felt so defeated when I couldnt stay at 1200 calories a day. But according to the Bugg i burn around 2000 a day without excersize. Which is awesome! Now I just really need to focus on counting those calories! It also has a very accurate pedometer on it. I have only been taking about 3000 steps a day. For weight loss you should be at 10,000!!! I am way off. So this week I have aimed for 5000 a day. I have been fighting a nasty cold, once I get over it I will aim for 500-1000 step increases each week and see if that helps!

Thanks for listening/reading! Hope you guys have a great weekend. Eat well and stay active!

Hello,

I have been logging into Calorie Count for over a year. I have not lost any weight. I go through phases where I do really well counting and working out. I never seem to see results or its just a small amount and I lose motivation. But even though I havent lost weight I feel I have become more comfortable refusing food and not feeling like I have to each everything on my plate. This is a huge accomplishment for me. I have a hard time stopping at 1200-1400 calories. Now that I feel a little more comfortable with being able to eat only when needed and not go crazy at every meal I am ready to start focusing on losing the weight.

I also just purchased a Body Bugg. I should get it in the mail today or tomorrow. I think this will be helpful in motivating me to move more and eat less. I think I overestimate how many calories I actually burn.
