I just finished eating for today, Was under by 200 calories today and under 130 calories yesterday. Not on purpose, just with not eating virtually anything before 5pm I just can't pack any more food into my stomach in 4 hours!! Yesterday my last apple made me feel sick so I am not gonna push it today! I also want to finish off eating by 9 today so it hopefully won't affect my weigh in (if I eat too late it seems to still be sitting in my tummy for weigh in the next day.
 
Yeah when you don't eat regularly, it starts to become counter productive to try and shove too much in all at once. Hopefully work will calm down enough to give you some time to get a little food in you during the day.

Fortunately you're young and indestructible, so you can handle it. :)
 
Luckily enough tomorrow is my last day before christmas vacay!! Then I have 2 half days between christmas and new years, then next month will be so slow I wonder if I'm gonna make it.
 
TOM combined with eating so much late last night so not surprising I am up on the scales by 0.4 pounds

Starting Weight: 168lb (Original Weight from a few years ago, my heaviest)
Current Weight: 147lb
Mini Goal: 155lb by October 27th *MADE MINI GOAL Oct 19th*
Mini Goal: 150 lb by November 15th *MADE MINI GOAL Nov 9th*
New Mini Goal: 145 By Dec 7th *Didn't make it*
Final Goal: 128lb
 
Finally had the last LONG day of work before some time off. Feeling sick, flu-y and ache-y, couldn't even think of having breakfast this morning, didn't have time for lunch at work. Had part of my lunch after work then my mom took me for supper. Not a great idea with a tossy turny stomach, hopefully I won't ralph. Should be pretty close to being inside my calorie goal which is good.
 
Hey Mystic - glad to hear your crunch- PreXmas shifts are DONE !!
..sorry to hear about the sick/flu feelings- maybe some rest will help..

good work on the calorie goal...

Happy Xmas relax time now gal !

So I ended up 300 over last night and am gonna be over again today by a lot more than 300 as I am already 200 over and I am going out with friends for supper :( but back to exercising tomorrow and gonna eat better on days I am not hanging with friends or family. I still shouldn't be over maintenance unless I get to 2500 which is what is guessed to be my TDEE but I haven't hardly lost anything this month eating mostly between 1500 and 1800 so who knows

So yesterday was a complete bust, I was at about 2400 calories for the day. I don't really care so much about having some not good days for Christmas, however I know how hard it is for me to get back ON track if I do have some bad days. I'm hoping if I keep tracking my calories and keep that in mind that I can keep it going.
 
Hey Mystic - no worries on the cals - I think maintenance-BMR cals is just fine for holidays....
.....just have lots of Fun !! U are so close to goal weight - ... no worries on a couple-days fun ...that's what Xmas is for !!
... & squeeze in a bit of exercise if U can - to balance the indulge....

Warmest Xmas wishes girl,

So with the holidays upon us I am not eating as well as I would like. I am not horribly fussed about it weight wise but boy do I feel gross eating so much and such junk. I walked the dogs with my mom Monday and today and I also went to the gym Monday and did 30 mins cardio and upper body weights. I am still loggin on MFP the things I know and guessing on the things I don't. I did a few things on the weekend to keep me motivated. I put on my old jeans that were too tight on me and now are too loose. I put my current jeans on top of them on my bed to see how much smaller they were. I took pics of my in the same tank top as I had on when I was 20 pounds heavier to show him much better I looked now. I also wore a dress I never felt confy wearing before. Hoping those things will motivate me to get right back on track after the holidays as well as being mindful on days I am not at family or friends houses so I eat as controlled as I can in between.
Due to family issues Christmas is not a terribly fun time for me and I just can't wait till its over. Too stressful and sad a lot of the time.
 
Sorry to hear this time of year is so stressful for you, that sucks! This is always my favourite time of year (despite the crazy amounts of junk food in all directions, lol) Hope you get through it without too much drama! Enjoy what parts you can!!
 
Thanks.
Yesterday was an over day again due to having some family over, today though I should be able to stick under my calorie goals.
 
Well I hope the Holidays go as well as can be expected. You're doing a great job with the weight and exercise, so use that to keep your spirits up.
 
Hi Mystic - hope the family stuff went ok over Xmas - ... the season does seem to make everything "more"- more drama, more happy , more sad, more food , .... hope U got thru allright....

Your before-after looks amazing ! ...those 21 lbs. are really showing- Skinny Minnie ! great great work !

Too loose clothes feel so satisfying eh??.... I have 2 donate a couple pairs dresspants now - I wore 1 pair right before Xmas to work - and I had to keep pulling them up- they were slipping down...too funny -

Keep up your good-work Mystic - everyone indulges a bit over Xmas....but WE are ahead of the game - we've been aware of what we ate & been weighing ourselves.... already way ahead of those NewYears resolutions folks... hee hee
 
Thanks!
So I went shopping on Boxing day and decided I wanted to buy a pair of jeans since all my pants are getting too big. Well, I got a pair of size 8's!! That was cool. Haven't worn that size since the last time I lost weight (I fit into a pair or 2 of 6's when I lost weight the last time and I am 3 pounds away from my lowest) and the size 8's are not tight (in fact a touch loose but since I still have so much fat I like them a touch looser so it doesn't make my fat all muffin top looking which makes me feel big and bloated. I could have fit into size 6's with them being snug but fitting. So that was nice. I think I had been wearing size 12-14 at my heaviest so it's a nice drop.
Didn't do too horribly today. Was about 300 calories over but that should still be below maintenance. Took the dogs for a walk today too.
Have to work tomorrow, which sucks. A full day too, but then I am off work again till the second. I am back at my house again after spending the last few days at my parents and it should be a lot easier to eat better and work out at my place. No treats at my house.
 
Thanks guys. I ended up being about 425 over calories today as I had a couple apples and yogurt. I shouldn't have had them, I wasn't hungry but I just gotta ease myself back on track. Which means I have to get back to eating less during the day so I have a few more calories at night.
