Weigh IN

[Guest guest]

Kirsten,

Just a thought here...... How did you do the week before? I have found

it seems to take about a week for good or bad results to show. You say

you didn't deserve to lose because of how you ate but you must have

done good the week before. :-)

he he he he he he he..... I wish I could remember the actual acronym. I

remember way back when on another group - like years ago - somebody made up

an acronym for this particular time of day. I went something like:

FTITMAPABMBBS

First Thing In The Morning After Pee After Bowl Movement But Before Shower

That's what I normally do (i don't know why I weighed myself that

night!!). I feel like I need to weigh also right after I wake up and use the

bathroom - I feel that is my actually weight. This morning I was still at

219 so we'll see what tomorrow holds maybe that is where I'm at now (I

hope!!) 219 is my goal for October!!! --- Gail

Hey Folks,

So I'm down from 281 to 278. Yay!!! 3 lbs. I'm trying to be

enthusiastic, because it will take so long. But it will all add up.

This is going to be an extremely stressful week, and November is

going to be a stressful month... let's hope for the best!

Take care!

Jane,

It is wonderful! Be happy! I know what you mean but it really does add

up. I started at 284 Oct 2000 and am 200 so far. I felt the same way,

that it seems like so much and like it is going to take forever. Heck I

still feel that way sometimes. Just take it one day at a time. Focus

more on the changes in lifestyle, the whole picture. Speaking of which,

be sure to take pictures and measurements too. You wont always feel

much different but as people told me, look at pictures of your heaviest

and then as you go down. You will be surprised! The thing is you are

doing it and you can keep doing it. It will add up and it will pay

off. You can do this!

Jane,

Congratulations on the three pounds, I sincerely mean it too! I think

sometimes the initial weight loss is much harder. Why? It's hard to break the

bad eating habits at the outset. I relapse a few times, get tired of

overeating, then eventually start sticking to the plan. After I get into the

swing of it, things get a lot easier. It takes time to keep the inspiration and

begin to really fully enjoy healthy eating.

Gail,

Yeah!!!! Good for you!!! I'm glad you feel better. I was going to reply

to your other post but haven't had a chance until now. Yesterday got

busy with housework and then working out, shower, dinner and then

vegged. The being out until 4:00 AM finally caught up with me about

8-9:00 last night,lol. Can't do that very often, getting too old!

Anyway, I was going to tell you, don't let every fluctuation get to

you. I have found that results good or bad seem to take a week to show.

So if you fluctuate like that don't get upset and binge. Just think

back to a week before. Also what time of the month is it? Did you eat

something salty or heavy? Instead of getting upset and eating, I get

mad and don't eat. Use that anger girl! I like to get on the tread when

I'm mad like that and really go at it. It feels much better than eating

something and feeling worse. Just my thought, how I deal with those

annoying fluctuations. Glad you are feeling so good today! :-)

Hugs,

Gena

good luck with everything and i will be praying for your mom, it

does increase your risk if both parents had a type of cancer, but

just keep trying to get healthy and stay healthy. you are doing good

and i'm so proud of you for reaching your goal. i'm glad you hit

your monthly goal i had missed mine by 1/2 inch so i forgave myself

but my goal is a 34 by christmas i have the rest of this month and

part of december to do this and with just recently changing the

routin e i know now i can do it, because like i keep repeating i

finally know the right way to do this stuff.

and my brain is on a break (day off between the two jobs). Well I did

my official weigh in this morning and I'm at 217!!!! Another pound

down and at the 20 pound lost mark!!! my monthly goal -Wow I can't

believe it - especially since I started TOM yesterday.. Now I'm

going for 215. I feel sooo good today - I have a pair of sweatpants

on that feel soo huge on me (they were big before I lost the weight

so really big now).

> Also on the challenge: yesterday I did some exercises not much

though. I did some stepping on the stairs and then some walking in

place with kicks and little things. I'm not sure I did my 96 oz of

water but I did drink alot. Last night I was a little upset b/c my

mom came down (from Green bay about 3 hr drive) and told my sister

and me that she has cervical cancer in the first stage the doctor

thinks so she was to have a hystocatomy (sp). This is so upsetting to

me b/c she's the only true grandparent my girls have!! They other

grandparents don't have much to do with them unless I take them over

to their house (and they live only about 5 min from us!). It's also

upsetting b/c my dad died 8 years ago this month from cancer - and

I'm wondering if this makes me a higher risk of having it later in

life?!! I'm very scared about this - since my dad died I have been

and now that my mom has it it makes me 100 times worse!!!

maybe for my exercises I'll rake the lawn. --- Gail

Arlene,

Oh the dreaded plateaus! I've been in one for over 2 months so I know

the frustration all too well. I think you are right, increasing your

cardio should do it for you. For me it has only been about 3 weeks that

I have really been back on track, doing the tread more days than not

that is so I'm hoping to see something in the next week or so. Good for

you doing the tread while watching tv. Mine is in a different room but

I like to listen to music when on mine anyway. Keep it up. You will get

there.

keeping track of what I did and how much, I have trouble writing and

start getting dyslexic.
