Nice job... and look how close you are to getting out of obese-land too... that's the next major milestone up I'd think :)

True. I think I will find that weight; and then make that my next goal. I think its 191 for me or something. Thanks for pointing that out!
 
Onederland feels great. I have worked all damn day; and I packed healthy stuff for lunch (mostly snack items), and I ate a healthy breakfast.

Breakfast: Raisin Bran Crunch Cereal with 2% milk.
Lunch: Peach, 5 strawberries, and 120 cals of cheezit party mix. (pretzels, garlic toasts, cheezits.)
Dinner: 1 cheeseburger, 1 hot dog, and 140 calories of chips.

Dinner wasn't really that healthy. But I was REALLY hungry. And low on protein. It was what was being served. So I ate it. I am letting my legs rest from my 9 hours of standing... and then I think I will go on my usual 30 minute walk. Just so I can keep the promise to myself that I will start walking every day.

Oh yeah...and I'm changing my next goal to "out of obese" land. (thanks mal)
 
I finally bought a new scale. Its bittersweet really. I bought an accurate scale. A weight watchers/ conair scale. Gives weight, Body Fat percentage, H20 percentage, bone density, and bmi. I know this is accurate. But it says I weigh 209.4 :svengo:; which sorta got me down. I thought I finally made it. I have been losing a lot of weight lately... which makes me happy. But not as much as i thought apparently. My goal is to get out of the 200's again. Sorry to disappoint everyone I told...including myself. I'm still determined... I just feel like i took many steps back.

I'm definitely on a role today... and I WILL be under 200 again soon. I do have an awesome scale that I LOVE to use. Today has still been a good day.

I knew I was using a crappy scale!!! :banghead:

I am so determined to conquer this once and for all.
 
so today was pretty unhealthy. I think the "real" weight through me for a loop. Tomorrow is another day. It will be MUCH better.
 
Yea, sometimes using a new scale can give us results we dont' want to accept...I totally understand that!

2 steps forward, one step back...you'll get there babe, I believe in you!
 
Brandy remember that no matter what the new scale says you were losing pounds on the other one! So no matter what you are losing. Your scale will get right back down there. Don't give up. Every scale is different (sadly). You are still losing and thats what's important. Remember those size 14's you fit in??? chin up. Your doing well. Your just going through scale adjustment :p

Thanks Korrie. I need someone to believe in me. I am trying to think of it LESS as a step back; and more of a same pound loss... just from a different beginning number. I'm back on track. I know I can do this. MOSTLY all my cravings I used to have, have subsided. I am getting rather healthy with my eating. I am still proud.

I was losing, and that is what is keeping my chin up. I will be down to 199 again in NO time. I knew something bad was up when I hopped on the scale and it said 174. NO WAY. lol. Hopefully I won't have to go through many more scale adjustments. This one wasn't so nice at first. :p


ANYWAYS- I'm back on track. Me eating ice cream tonight was strictly voluntary. I didn't even crave it. I just saw it and said "well, ok." Which was bad. But I still only had about 1600 calories today or less. NO exercise at all...but I'm still ok with it. Tomorrow is another day. I don't feel like beating myself up over something that already happened. I've come to far to do that. I've also thought about a reward thingy for myself. I want to grow my hair out for the first time in a LONG while. But I love getting my hair cut, so its been hard for me to grow it. When I get into those "down in the dumps" moods... I want to be pampered. Getting my hair cut it the cheapest...so its usually what I do. I think I will keep myself from getting my hair cut until I reach 175. That will be my 50 pound loss mark..and I will go out to get my hair cut, highlighted...or whatever I want. That is SO far away. So I don't know if I will be able to hold out, but I am going to try, and use that for my motivation to lose. I will cut my side bangs still, and maybe cut a few layers into my hair...but the length will just keep growing. It may sound stupid...but I think it might work. Tomorrow I plan on healthy eating; a brisk 30 minute walk; strength training exercises; More self-motivating talk; room cleaning; and lots of cuddling with my Danny boy. Now time for a good night sleep.
 
I'm sorry, I didn't really mean " a step back" .....it was just a saying I tend to use. You have alot to be proud of and I'm glad that your recognize that! :)
 
I am going to make Fridays the only day I change my ticker. But great news is that Ive already lost! I weighed in at 207.8. I'm on my way back down!!!
 
Why am I so lazy today? I just don't know.I need to push myself, but I just can't find the courage to go out for the walk by myself. I want to go with Dan, but he's not here, maybe I'll turn on some DDR in a little bit.
