Congrats guys...we will all just keep on plugging at this!
You can do this. You can beat those cravings. You are stronger than they are. Have a great week.Way to go on 1.16 lbs lost Pat!
I lost .75 lbs this week - not bad at all considering how much I ate on Sunday! I'd like this week to be in the 2+ lbs range, though; I need another boost lately as I've been struggling with cravings a bit.
Good job on your loss so far! I hope the surgery goes well!!!!!!
I went to the OSU doctor and they told me I weighed 196 which is great from 204 .I'm having an Hiatial Hernia surgery soon which will make me lose even more.
Well done on your weight loss. Wishing you a speedy recovery after your surgery.I went to the OSU doctor and they told me I weighed 196 which is great from 204 .I'm having an Hiatial Hernia surgery soon which will make me lose even more.
Good planning We have to be one step ahead of ourselves. Good luck.Hello all.
I had a small gain this week, .75 lbs. That's what I lost last week. I had a binge on Sunday night so I'm not surprised. We have a family member in the hospital and it's been quite stressful. I moved my calorie level for this week up to half pound per week loss - it's Patrick's birthday as well as a family celebration this weekend so I needed the leeway. Next Monday I will drop them back down to 2 lbs a week loss level.
Aw thank you! No, I most certainly did not expect to see bones - find my cheekbones yes (lol) but not this. My goal weight originally was 140 (the range for my height is 127 to 148 I believe), but me losing another 10-12 pounds would be absurd (truly). My new goal weight though I might tinker with it a wee bit, is 146 (I might go to 144 my former - feel perfect weight ..back when I was younger and 5' 6-1/2 inches. I was always a curvy gal).Yay Pat
You are doing so great.
What's your goal weight again? Sorry I forget. It must be so close. Bones poking out! Did you even think that would be possible four years ago?
I'm so proud of you.
Ditto...I'm not leaving this thread. It keeps me in line, it's friendly and I keep learning excellent tips. Its a life long learning process- me thinks.
Every day is absolutely a new start. I've been slowly creeping a bit more sugar into my diet but today is the start of a new week and it's not happening this week.Ditto Life learning indeed.
I have not been eating well at all. Could be worse, could be SO much better.
I read everyone's posts each time they arrive. I know, I can stop the speeding train I'm on and am trying other methods to learn more. Just purchased a very highly rated book by a medical professional I trust (i.e.; not Dr. Oz) about the downfalls of "dieting", written in a scientific way which I appreciate. I just got it downloaded onto the Kindle yesterday. Today will be a good day to start reading it as I'm recuperating from yet another round of dental surgery. This, I think is a large part of why I've been eating poorly - chewing more healthy options has been a great source of difficulty and annoyance for a few months now and while I am not depressed, I'm not happy either. Softer foods are easier but that, unfortunately, comes with a lot of calories and more so, fat content.
Maybe I need to just get over the "poor pitiful" me stage :doh3: . It sure doesn't help to berate oneself. I was doing really well for many months and seeing good results. I need to find a way to develop that mindset again.
Anyway, every day is a new start. Today is a good day thus far. I'll concentrate on that.
Good work to everyone who is staying on track!
Re not trusting Dr. Oz and "the downfalls of dieting", one of his highly advocated diet pills seems to seriously contribute to diabetes - Do Garcinia Cambogia Side Effects Boost Diabetes?
