130 pounds to lose...

Clicker Sister and Sweet - Thanks for posting!  The more of us, the stronger we are, right?  We can do this!

Nijaz - May I ask, did you do any particular diet? 

Did great today!  NO overeating!  Worked out at Curves - burned 480something calories!  Drank some water.  Small steps, but I'm gettin there baby!

See you all tomorrow!

I do the South Beach diet

Great Job motherof3yrold!!  I road my bike 15.5 miles in 1 hour. I do not know how many calories. I think about 400. I did ok with food yesterday. Not perfect, but my motto now is "Don't let the perfect get in the way of the good"  So we can do this. Baby Steps!! Next year this time I hope to be at goal!!
 

I am very discouraged today!  I weight myself on Thursdays and I did not lose ONE pd!!!! UGH!!!!!!!  I should have at least lost one pd from all the exercise!!!!!!!   I guess I need to cut back more on the food!   HELP!

Sweet - Don't be discouraged.  You didn't gain, right?  So someone once told me to not let the perfect get in the way of the good.lol  ONE WEIGH IN CANNOT DEFINE YOUR ENTIRE JOURNEY!  I know it's tough when we don't see what we want on the scale, though.  I have kind of made an agreement with myself that if the scale gets me discouraged (especially to the point that it makes me want to binge) then I will lessen my weigh in's from one week to two.  I may have to weigh less to keep myself from getting upset and turning to my drug, food.  Keep going, you know you are worth it!

The past two days have been really busy.  We have been doing a "makeover" at work on the building.  We were painting yesterday and today.  We were out in the HOT sun yesterday and I sweated and sweated.  No official exercise for either day but I'm sure there was enough extra activity in there.lol  I weighed in and was down 2.6!!!  Yeah for me! 

Now, to figure out how to change my ticker!?  Have a great night, everyone!

You are right mother, but that is why I am here. Because often I can not see past the perfect. That is what I am striving for. Your words of encouragement were very helpful. I thought about not weighing until I go back for an MD appt. which is in November. I don't know if I can do it or not. I may try. Congratulations on your weight loss!!

Get that ticker changed!!

Thanks for your help.

Sweet - Glad to be of any help!  It is tough, this whole thing of losing weight.  While one day I might be strong for you - the next you might need to be there for me.  I think that's what's so great about this board! 

I overate some today.  I'm not letting myself get all upset (although the urge to do that is definitely there).  I'm trying to figure out exactly what I want to do in order to accomplish my goals. 

 

 

Feeling rough today.  I have bronchitis.  I hope i gets better soon.  I'm on meds now for it.  Will write later.

When I am sick I tend to overeat. Maybe the medicine will help you not be as hungry.  I have just been cutting back and exercising every day. Thanks for your encouragement. If you just ate a little too much, it should be ok. We just have to take this one day at a time and as long as we keep heading in the right direction we will do ok and eventually meet those goals! Try to get some rest this weekend. Thanks for your help.

Sweet - Thanks!  I wonder if we could really make this happen without counting this and counting that.  I started another thread asking how successful losers have done it.  I just want to see if others went about lose a large amount of weight without doing a certain "plan".  I do usually overeat when I'm sick, cause it means I'm home and not doing anything.  ie. bored.  Anyway, today hasn't been bad.  I'm doing pretty well.  I feel like that if I was telling myself that I had to do a certain diet, today would have been a terrible day for overeating. 

I think I'm gonna start a new thread called "127 pounds to lose". Yeah for me!
