July Weight Loss Journey Thread

Chopstickgirl · #1 (**permalink**) 06-22-2008, 10:16 PM

Good morning everyone.

As per Tiah, I am making two threads in hopes that more people will feel supported in the different stages of weight loss.

I hope those maintaining or nearing goal will come here to encourage us and give us tips and tricks, and those of us just beginning our weight loss journey, or still in the middle of it, can go to the Maintenance/Goal thread and be encouraged by the success stories we'll find there.

How was everyone's weekend? Any NSV? Goals for this week?

Did my first personal training session this morning. I'm freaking exhausted and then the kids made me take them swimming before we could come home. Matt gets home on Sunday and I'm so freaking excited!!! I can't wait to see him again!

how awesome Shalia!!!! you go girl!!!
I think your gonna see some big progress soon!!!
How's Matt and your summer going???
do update on it all!
Are you TTC yet/still??
You still traveling alot?

*******************
I have not been to a weigh in, in 2 weeks, so hopefully I can go tomorrow,
and hopefully the damage from camping and the stress of Alex's appt
didn't make me gain!
But if I just maintain, I'll be happy!
NSV for me, last night we grilled and had our friends over, who were moving, so they wouldn't have
to cook. Chuck helped them move.
I ate my 1 helping of it all. And then just sat and visited with everyone, as everyone
else had 2nd's and 3rd's (yes, I am a damn good cook!!) And I was totally OK with it!
BUT, this was a friend who, somehow, I get sucked in, and when she gets another plate full,
in the past, I had too. But last night, I just chatted away, after I was done with my 1!!!
YAY!!
That was HUGE for me.
Social eating/overeating is hard for me.
So that was a big one!!

down to 236 today. bmi down to 40.34, it was 46.3 when I started weight loss at 270lbs. So that's exciting.

Houseplantgirl · #10 (**permalink**) 07-09-2008, 11:50 AM

omg, that IS exciting Jen!!!
WHOOT!!!

I soooooooooooooooooo need to start getting better sleep, so I don't feel like such crap all day and not want to exersize.
I KNOW that if I'd just MOVE MY *** MORE I'd lose more weight, but I'm sooooo damn tired all the farking time, from Alex getting up 438 times in the night, and then when he's asleep, Hope will come and wake me and tell me that she's scared or thirsty.
UGH.
Yes, that was my rant of the day, thankyoudrivethru.
meh

So now I'm having conversations with myownself here! LOL

I'm doing sooooo bad on WW, I have not written stuff down in forever, and I have not gone to a meeting in a long time either.
It's so hard in the summer, since we have basicly NO schedule.
I suck.
I think I gained back 5 pounds.
gross.
I just want to eat cookies and junk.
sigh.........

Steph! I know it's hard. I've fallen off the wagon my fair share of times. You'll get back in a groove again. The last time I quit I gained 10 lbs! Now I've finally lost that plus another 5 but if I hadn't gained that darn weight back I wouldn't have had to lose it AGAIN! It just sucks. I know.

Thanks Shaila!!!!
It's good to know I'm not alone and that someone understands.
I just don't feel motivated these days.
I'm sure going back to meetings would help, but ugh.
Anyhoo, thanks for posting that you understand! That helps! HUGS!!!
