re: Weight loss journey

Quoting aℓyssa™:" Weighed myself this morning, I was still 172.4   Which means, next week I SHOULD have a big loss, because I can tell I'm pretty bloated right now due to AF. "

I am sure you will have a big loss next week! I have af right now and I am feeling pretty bloated but she should be gone in the next few days or so. Im hoping for a bigger loss next week as well!

I was 217.5 this morning!

Start weight with alli: 220
Current weight: 217.5
Total loss: 2.5lbs

According to myfitnesspal I checked in at 218 on 1/13/13 so that means only .5lb loss in a week. But at long as its a loss, Ill still take it! I think Ill get discouraged and give up if I dont appreciate every week I have lost weight, not matter how big or small. But I would like to see the loss get up to 1lb a week.
I worked out hard yesterday and I am sore today, that makes me feel really great about the work out   I think I have a pretty good eating habits now but exercising more is the missing piece.

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" That's great! I broke my weight loss by 3 ounces, which is nothing but my weight literally was 182.7 ... [snip!] ... fruits, and healthy fats, low sugar, low fat, low calorie, and all natural foods without gluten or any refined starches..."

hey, when you're in a plateau, that 3 ounces means everything! but that sounds like a great plan!

You're right! Any loss is still a great loss!  

Where is my perioddddddddddddddddddddddddd!    My face is broken out, I'm super bloated, and have been craving chocolate like mad. AF was supposed to here yesterday and has still yet to show up. But the only good thing about it being late, is the chance me being on it when Seth gets home keeps getting lower.  

Anyways, I did double work outs on Friday and double workouts yesterday. I was planning on doing another double work out today, but my poor girl has a 103.2 fever.   I'll be working out tonight after she goes to sleep tonight, but otherwise, my focus is all on her today!

Thats good news about af then I guess! Hopefully she will stay away when Seth gets home! How long until he gets back now? That is awesome you have been doing double workouts, you are going to reach your goal in no time!!   I hope your DD feels better soon!

I think I am beginning to tell a difference that the weight loss so far has had. Around Christmas I was about 222 and Im 217.5 now so its only a 4.5lb loss but I think I can tell a bit of a difference which is super exciting and really motivates me to keep going!

Just a few more weeks!   I seriously can't wait!!

And thank you, she never ever gets sick.   So, I'm definitely babying her today, lol.

And I hope so! As long as I'm under 164 when he gets home, I'll be happy. But I'm REALLY pushing for 159!

Hi ladies just wanted to stop in and say hello. I saw that most of you weighed in today but I think I am going to wait a few more days to weigh in and see what happens. Nice job on making the scale drop girls!!!

Does anyone measure themselves regularly?

Hello! How have you been? I dont measure myself, I more so go by my pant size to track progress that way. I have several pairs of designer jeans (size 32) that I used to wear that I cant get past my thighs now   And I really wish I could wear them, I bought them in high school and Im kind of kicking myself I spent so much money on them! Im hoping to get into them again by this summer or probably next fall because I think Ill need to be at about 180lbs to wear them so I have a ways to go. Do you measure yourself? I think it would be a great way to track progress

I do kinda. But, it's hard for my to measure in the same spot every time, so I never know how accurate my loss or gain is.   I do like to use jeans in different sizes as good measures though!

I dont measure myself just because it is very hard to get in the exact same spot everytime. I do the same as you ladies and just use clothing to measure.

How much were you when he left? You have been doing so fantastic!! I am sure you will be able to make your goal   Have you been sending him updated pics or are you going to just surprise him when you get home?

I know at my doctors appointment after he had left, I was 197. So, I'm sure the day he left I was 200 or so.  

I really, really hope so! You girls seriously have helped me SO much!!

And I just recently sent him a picture(when I was about 180).   He was amazed, lol. I'm not going to send anymore pictures, so I'm hoping I have a another 20lb difference to show him when he gets home.
