Miss Fit's Diary

Ugh, so I'm feeling super disappointed. Not only did I not lose weight, I gained .2 lbs! I'll see what the doctor's scale says when I go in an hour, but I'm usually heavier on those scales, lol!

Fried food is the devil!!!
 
0.2 lbs? That's well within normal fluctuation. Pretty sure the culprit is salt (and water retention because of it) more then the bit of fried stuff you had (and actual fat). But I fully understand it still sucks!
 
Honey, my weight can vary a whole kilo in a day. A kilo! .2 is.......a trip to the bathroom. Hope all goes well at the doc's.
 
Thank you ladies for the motivation, you're right, I won't fret too much about .2 lbs! The trip to the doctor went really well! My BP is 122/80 and she was such a nice lady, she says I'm doing great and was really motivating. I'm really happy I went.

Excellent! I'm glad you went too :)
 
So Monday was fun! Went out with hubby to a sporting event, had a hamburger with bacon :drool5: & a few bites of ice cream. For dinner we went to a little place for Mexican food, it was delicious, for dessert at home - Merlot, yum! I'm stressing over an exam coming up on Thursday, and will be up late this week studying for it, so I'm expecting a little weight fluctuation. It's been SO hot here lately. 100 degrees F most days, about 37 C for those who use that measurement. It's also dry heat, so you really do feel like you're baking. We have tons of issues here with people leaving their children in hot cars and forgetting about them. It really makes me sad and reminds me to be vigilant when in a parking lot and look in the cars I'm parked next to, just in case.

I think I'm going to start a regular schedule of walking on my treadmill when July hits. I'll sit down and work on when it's convenient for me and try to adhere to that schedule as much as I can until it becomes a habit. I'll start out with only 20 minutes, and maybe work my way up to 30 the next month and so on.:gnorsi:

Not seeing a weight change this week will not discourage me! I know I'm healthier and I feel better. As a matter of fact, eating crappy (like I did yesterday) made me feel pretty bleh for the rest of the day. I'm sure heat had something to do with it, but the food most definitely did not help. I just wish that food didn't taste so good! Why can't my tongue feel 'bleh' for those foods before I eat them? Ha! ?
 
Feeling better & knowing you're healthier have to be wins Miss Fit. The more healthy food you eat the more you will learn to like it. It takes time to make new habits & tastes, but they can be changed. Send me just a little bit of your heat please. It would be about 6 degrees C :(

I wonder if it's possible to maintain on 1,400 calories if you're mostly sedentary most of the time? If my weight still maintains after this week, I might lower my calories to closer to 1,300 and see if that helps. I am not underestimating calories, I use a food scale and weigh my food if I'm ever unsure about the serving size. Anyway, I'm going to give it this week and see how my weigh in goes on Monday again.
 
Depends on your height, weight and age, but a healthy adult female really should lose weight at 1400 kcal daily.

Thanks for replying and yes, I think so too! I calculated my BMR or TDEE or whatever, I did some online calculator, and it said I could eat 1,700 to lose weight. I am 5'2 and weighed 211 this morning and I'm 29. I have a lot of weight on my frame, I think 1,400 would be fine to lose at least 1lb a week. Maybe my body is changing a bit with the initial weight loss and will resume after this week. Here's hoping! ?
 
I think you should be able to lose on 1400 & it should be sustainable. Cutting way down is inclined to lower your metabolism.

Yes! I was talking to my husband about it and he says if my weight is still stagnant it's because my body is changing and not to give up, that if I want to see a little nudge back down to maybe add a bit of activity in order for that to happen. I was planning on doing that in July anyway, so if my weight stays the same this week and I feel discouraged, I've decided instead of lowering my calories, I'll add in 20 minutes of walking at least 3 times a week.

Very true that. There's always going to be a "good" reason to not do it quite yet but there are also always reasons why being fit and healthy would be better RIGHT NOW.

I had tons to do today, so I wasn't at home much to snack. I didn't get all of my calories in, and when I weighed my chicken before I cooked it, it only came out to 5.4 oz, so I probably didn't get enough protein today either. I was under my goal, so I guess that's better than being over, but I would have really liked to have gotten closer to 1,400! Oh well! Tomorrow I am hosting an event with good food and desserts. I'm glad it's my treat day. We'll see how weigh in day goes for this week! Crossing my fingers for 1 lb down at least.
