re: Weight loss journey

Quoting ~AsherLee~:" 5'1 and a HALF!"

You are like my twin!! haha. That's me too! I always say 5'2 though.

I started at 181 and I'm 163 this morning. How funny!

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" Sure thing. What is your name and I'll add you to the OP!"

Just put it as Asherlee  

I try to walk every evening, I 'take the long way' to do things, everytime I have to go upstairs I run up them, I can't stand water, so when I stopped drinking soda I started buying MiO's. I try not to buy microwavable food, we get our food from the Mormon deseret co-op so you pretty much have to thaw, prepare, cook and all that anytime you want to eat....which deters me from bored eating lol. I had gotten down to 153 and I got a job at McDonalds and gained 10 pounds in two weeks. I quit. Now I've gotten back down to 162 again finally a month later. Probably will attempt 30DS again. I got to day 10 in Jan. and quit lol.

Right on lol  

Quoting ♥Love♥:" Thank you for all the info Nichole! I need to go grocery shopping and I think this will help me plan well for the week   I appreciate your advise!"

I hope it helps!!

Quoting she nan igans:" haha, thanks! I love that picture. Last week I got back wtih the program since I'd been slacking off ... [snip!] ... bad day. I had a habit of not tracking if I wasn't eating very well. Instead I tracked everything and it helped a lot I think."

That is how I have been in the past and you're right it helps to still do it. You are doing WW right? I have considered trying that if need be after I have this last LO!

Yep! I love weight watchers. It's seriously the only thing that has every worked for me. Everything else bugs me after a week or two. But I'd be having a bad day and I'd just stop recording it. Instead now I record EVERYTHING and I think it makes me a lot less likely to just eat mindlessly. as in, even if I'm giong to go over my points, if I write it down I still think about it.

Off topic, but I love your Avi, haha. Right now I'm listening to all the songs from the musical episode "Once More with Feeling" haha

Okay you are in the OP! I really liked the 30DS, I had started that about 2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant and was seeing good results. I stopped it when my ms hit me hard though.

Well that is great that you have found what works for you. That imo is half the battle, the other half is sticking to it lol.

Haha I love Buffy!! My dh thinks I'm silly for liking it, he thinks it's corny but I can't help it!

I think it's silly too, but that's part of the point. It doesn't take itself too seriously. Honestly, I started watch Angel first, before I ever watched Buffy. Now I'm like a Spike/Buffy fanatic, so I don't care for Angel as much.

I've never watched Angel before, but I didn't care for his character too much in Buffy so that's probably why.

It was actually pretty good. I liked it. I enjoyed the character development of a few of the Buffy characters that occured, mainly Cordilla and Wesley.

It was before, when I watched it.

Been a long time ladies, just thought I would check in here and update my weight. I had Sophie on November 1st   Thank goodness to be done being pregnant lol.

So as of this morning I am at 190lbs at 12 days PP. When I delivered her I was 213  

So far breastfeeding is going good and is my only source of weight loss.

How are you all?
