Kori, Katutzi... Thanks for stopping by. :)

And OMG

I weighed myself today and it's 306.4!!!!!! I can't believe it. I haven't weighed myself for a few days and it dropped pretty low.

I guess the rest helped me. Maybe all my body needed was rest. Woot :D

:cheers2: you're doing great girl...my goodness 6pounds and your out of the 300club, nice!
 
Thanks girls :D

So I weighed myself today only because this has been a weird few days... I kinda over ate by 200 calories yesterday and I missed Curves yesterday cuz I wasn't feeling well. So I weighed myself to see how I'm doing and I'm down 1 lb!! So cool. lol It was 305.

I was standing on the scale for a second, like a minute after I woke up, so my brain was still fuzzy, trying to think if 5 was higher or lower than 6. Then when my brain finally figured it out I was very happy. lol
 
I just came back from a tupperware dinner at the church my mom goes to...

Here's what I ate:

Salsa and chips
Chicken with Rice
Cake - I had two small slices.
I also had two glasses of a strawberry drink, and I have no idea if it was full of sugar or not.

Luckily I got to see how everything was made, cuz everything was made in tupperware stuff in a demonstration. And it wasn't too bad. The salsa just had veggies. The chicken just had a bit of seasoning salt. The rice was plain. The cake was made with soda pop instead of oil and eggs.

Anyway, I just want to be accountable...
 
Wow, congrats on the pound loss! Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you're about to achieve the milestone of the first number in your weight? I can't wait for that myself but I have a ways to go yet. At the moment, I'm liking short term goals. It gives me a sense of success! LOL I only have 13 lbs to go to get to my short term goal of 250 lbs. I'm super excited for that but I'm sure you're more excited with only 5 lbs to go until your first number changes! Yay for you!!!:grouphug:

Wow, Dreaming. You're so close to being out of the 300s! You must be so elated. You're hard work is definitely paying off :)
 
Thanks everyone.

Even though I am really sore from exercising, I feel good in both my body and my mind and I can't wait to lose even more weight. :)
 
Hey Dreaming! ONLY 5 more and you are out of the 300s for ever!!!!!.. go Dreaming Goooooooooooo :D :hurray:
 
hey girl,
i'm glad to see your still doing so well! at this rate you'll be in the 290's in no time...keep on doing what your doing coz it's working wonders! xoxo
 
I gained like a pound. But it's period time, so I'm not too worried about it.

Tired, so I'm gonna go. But I just wanted to get that in my diary.
 
So...

I am here to confess that I have not been doing so well lately. I think it has to do with my period and serious mood swings. But I have not exercised in like a week cuz I've been so lazy and moody. And I have basically been eating whatever I want.

But I gave myself a good talking to today and I'm gonna be back to myself tomorrow. Get this back under control...

Plus I'm dealing with my uncle that is dying. It's only a matter of days before it happens... it's just seriously emotionally exhausting.

An upside this week - I got my first "You look like you're losing weight" from a person that doesn't even know I'm dieting. So that made me feel good.

So sorry to hear about your uncle. I know it can be rough but just try to stick with it. When my grandmother first got ill, I weighed myself at that time and was shocked to see I was slightly above 200 lbs. Now, 5 years later and my dad passing, I was almost 300 lbs. Please let exercise by your therapy. I wish I had, but it that were the case, I'd be my goal weight by now. I know it's going to be hard but it'll be more hard for you if you let yourself slip too much. Please understand that I am trying to be a friend and if you need anything please message me.

dreaming, im very sorry about your uncle. it must be an incredibly stressful time for you. hang in there. you'll be in my thoughts.
 
Hello Everyone *bashfully peaks head in*

I'm back. I haven't been to this journal in a while. A long, long while. About 9 months to be exact. Truth is I haven't been dieting since about August of last year. After my uncle passed away *see previous posts* I used that as a great excuse to drown myself in my sorrows. It was like I was running along just fine and seen a tree ahead of me, and instead of going around the tree, I allowed myself to crash into it. Gosh, I am one crazy girl. And definitely an emotional eater.

Good news is since then it seems that I have maintained my weight. I don't know how. I bought 8 glazed donuts last week and I ate all of them with no problem. Recently had a birthday. My birthday cake was enjoyed by my family, but finished by me. It was a lot of cake. I think my last weigh in that I posted here was 309. I am 310.6 as of April 1st. How in the world did I maintain it?

On one hand I am seriously disappointed at myself for not sticking with this. On the other hand I would be even more disappointed if I never tried again. I am thoroughly human and I make mistakes, and I will probably keep making them. But I have to learn from them and keep trying.

I am jumping back on this horse again. And I decided to come back to these forums cuz it was the only thing keeping me on track.

Okay, enough yapping, So I'm putting myself on a 1800-2200 calorie diet. Just as long as I'm in that range, it should be good. That is healthy and efficient.

Yesterday I ate 2023 calories. I did aerobic/dancing for 30 minutes.

Starting weight for April 1st was 310.6.

I am definitely going to make a weight loss goal of 250 lbs and that's it. I haven't been at 250 lbs in years. It's been over a decade to put it in perspective. I would be quite happy at 250. When I make it to 250, I'll see where I am, and if I want to lose more weight, then that's cool too. I just don't want to put a lot of pressure on myself.

I want to be 250 by September/October-ish.

It's amazing how routine all of this is to me. I know how to diet like I know the back of my hand. Yesterday I was counting calories and I didn't even need to look at the labels or look anything up. I knew exactly how many calories everything had.

Anyway...

Let's do this.
 
i'm in a really hurry and only have afew seconds on the computer for now, but will be back to write in your diary more tomorrow.

i just had to pass by and say a big hey ((((hugs)))) girrrl, i can't believe your back! it's like soon after you left so did most of the old gang and almost no one's back :( just yesterday i stumbled upon babymomma who just got back here and was ecstatic and we were both saying how the old WLF crew just dissappeared. and just to let you know i fell of my wagon too, for a very long time. this year i've tried restarting about twice failed again and dissappeared again. but i'm back again and hoping it's for the long run so i'm so glad to see a familiar face.

YAY you for maintaining for all these months!!! that's amazing! gotta rush for now, take care hun xoxo
