Hey just the change in habits and extra sodium puts on like 9 pounds when I take a trip. 2.5 isn't bad at all.

Your such a damn fighter Cinder, I admire you big time!! You have guts and big balls and you go for what you want. Here's ONE BIG PAT ON BACK for such a good job and getting everything out on the table and then cleared away. My biggest pet peeve are people who don't say what they really mean. Just put it out there and get it off your chest right?? Your awesome, and with your huge cardio workouts that 2lbs is probably added muscle, and your thinking it's fat. I wish I could walk over to your place right now and take you out to dinner, you deserve a good night out that's for sure!! Take it easy and I hope the rest of your week turns out better!

Hey Cerella, howd your training go. Its great to see pictures of my own stomping grounds up on the forum for all to see. I love that shot of Kaylie (sp?), both your girls have your looks and charm. Something in the eye.
You WILL lose weight. I gotta run right now for the phone.

It was Michael needing help with his computr. We need a break. ANyway tonight at the street market in Parksville I connected with three women friends so that will be good to hang with them.
Anyway, I think you should worry less about the number on the scale and just focus on feeling good, exercising. Everything flows from feeling good. Be kind to yourself and recognize the obstacles you face, like being over tired, which can lead to poor choices. You have lots of time, there is no deadline and you are you no matter how much you weigh. I don't see your weight, I see you. MOre and more I measure my progress by how good I feel, and I know you are feeling good, so just keep on doing what it is that makes you feel good. When I was overcoming my illness which was stressful, there was no way I could lose weight and quit smoking at the same time. One thing at a time. You are a new mother again. Maybe its one battle you could let rest until things get settled a little more. The main thing for me about you is your athleticism. With that, your love of being active and pushing your body till you sweat nearly every day, hey, what have you got to worry about?
You have maintained your loss have you not? You WILL lose because its your heart's desire.
Look at all you are doing. Keeping a roof over your head, learning a new job, raising a teenage daughter, raising a two year old daughter, keeping yourself fit, maintaining a vehicle, its A LOT.
Your mood and mental health is more important than your weight. I think your life might have to get a little bit easier, a little bit saner first.
Have I said too much?

Hey Cerella, don't worry so much about the 2.2 lbs weight gain that usually happens anytime any of us gone on vacation specially when we are enjoying foods or we aren't the ones cooking for once. with 2 kids to take care of i'm suprised you have enough energy at all to do as much exercise as you do. i know i only have a 3yr old and he's a handful as it is so i don't exercise as much as i would like to but i guess if i had a indoor bike or something i might do more then i do now. Keep up the good work.

I especially loved Kim and Kelly's posts, but have no more rep to give today
I agree, you're kicking ass with the elliptical and exercise...weight loss requires patience, something I'm struggling with Have a great day tomorrow!

Hey Cerella, be selfish for a change. You deserve it. Behave when I'm on vacation. I'm going to try and eat right and I will workout, but I'll take a 2.2 pound gain any day.

Yes, Cerella, and thanks. Try to relax and enjoy life as much as possible. Put the weight issue out of your mind but eat right and exercise anyway. Forget what you look like. We don't see ourselves anyway, except in mirrors and photos. Don't look too much. See OTHERS. We could get rid of unflattering photos of ourselves and only keep the flattering ones. We can do a photo shoot next time you come. I have just a cheap digital camera myself, I would enjoy that.
What looks good on you is when your personality shines through when I'm with you and that's what makes you attractive to me. I can't explain the kinship I feel with you already, even after the first meeting. That's a strong feeling and I think its got to do with just valuing people and also we have something in common in being on the forum. But why do we enjoy each other's company so much already???
Notice, though, how our appearance improves when we feel good inside. I feel STRONG and LIGHT HEARTED inside when I'm feeling good. I think I earned it during my grey days. I treasure that more than my so-called good looks. You are working for more than you realize now, and I only profess that because I am thirteen years older than you.
Believe me, sometimes in mirrors, my profile, I feel like I look like death warmed over, especially if I'm not smiling. My son tells me to keep a smile on my face, that I look better if I'm smiling. I have a heavy appearance too, but it matters less to me these days.
Hey, we've both lost weight, we've both succeeded and are feeling better than before. I think I am resting on my laurels a bit and maybe some time will have to go by before I'm able to lose again. But I'm gonna keep on trying.
Sending you good feelings that come from DOING things, not HAVING things. We're supposed to measure our wealth by the things we can live without. You're a great asset to the job you're taking on. You will be a kind of angel, or at least a big help to your clients and they will give you their trust and affection. You are spending all your energy serving others and that is a kind of perfection of life.
I hope you don't "grind the gears" too much trying to lose weight at this time.
Let's just keep on exercising and earning that feel good feeling. I always "care less" what happens during the day if I've gotten my exercise in.
Today, in fact, I'm taking off. My legs will thank me. Going to lunch with one of my girl friends. We have a LOT to talk about and I haven't seen her in a while. She invited me to her new place in Parksville.

Forgive me for "talking down" to you. I forgot how much experience YOU have with life, having been a mother since sixteen years. What can you tell me about that?

Dear Cerella, Sorry about the cat, maybe a time for learning, a time for closeness.
Anyway, in case in spite of it all you are still determined to lose, which I think you might be, I wanted to re explain the formula I use to determine calories, and it does require that you know pretty much exactly how many you're taking in each day.
For you it would look like 208 pounds x 15 calories = 3120 calories to maintain
minus 20%, a modest but doable cut, -624 calories
equals 2496 calories
So aim for 2496 calories and you will be achieving a 20% deficit each day. I like it because then I know, even if the scale doesn't respond.
Recalculate numbers each time you drop. When you are 200 pounds, you will be eating less.
Does the number seem high to you? It did to me at first, but I found that I needed to eat that much or else I'd go crazy hungry.
I eat everyone of my calories every day!

Hi Cerella.
It's good to hear that the new job is working out for you, despite the effort the change is taking. I have looked before but never found a post to tell me quite clearly what it is? I have half an idea it's what we would call here a social trainer - or is it some kind of nursing? I'm clear that it's a position where you get to actively help some other people. I'm sure that will suit your nature well.
I'm still finding it pushes me the right way to read about the exercise you do!! Good for you!
