Imaninjadangit's Weight loss Spectacular!

Nice! I lose weight in my face first too! I'll have a completely normal skinny face and then the rest of me is like woah! LOL.. ok so it's not THAT bad, but yeah, my face will look normal and the rest of me overweight, lol.
 
Thanks guys!


Well, I'm finally moved into my new house. There are boxes everywhere, and it's cluttered...but I'm in! It was a total ordeal, too! I would go into it...but...yeah. I just tried typing it out and there was too much to type! lol Let's just say that I wanted to punch people. A lot. I had 6 hours sleep in the span of 4 days. It was hectic.


I'm better, now. :)


I just installed a faucet in my tub, and a shower. New curtains are up, and I'm starting to unpack. I don't plan on being here for more than 6 months, but I still want to get rid of the clutter.


Right now, I'm enjoying the 60 degree weather with my cats, listening to my favorite Beethoven piano concerto, and loving life. :)


Oh, and I lost another 3lbs. 229. :) One more pound to -60lbs!

That's so great, Robyn :)


Congrats on your weight loss btw and for finishing your move! :)


A friend of mine has also recently talked about getting rid of a lot of clutter to help calm her nerves :)


And nice about the Beethoven concerto! I'm currently learning Moonlight Sonata on my piano :p You have good taste! I wish my roommate enjoyed classical..


Half the time when I come home, there's some kind of death metal blasting in my living room ;(
 
Ew! Death Metal. Yeah...no. I have tried and I just can't get into it.

Beethoven is my favorite, hands down. He was so passionate. His Piano Concerto No. 5, the Emperor, is my favorite concerto. The second movement is just amazing. With symphonies, his 7th is my favorite, again, second movement. Sonatas...Pathetique. I have loved that one since I was 10 or 11. Moonlight was my favorite up until I heard that one. I had a teacher in 1st grade that would play Moonlight on a record player for our nap time. :) It was the first song I taught myself on the piano. My first license plate was Ldwig 5. haha! I really am a nerd. >.<
 
A[quote name="imaninjadangit" url="/t/39940/imaninjadangit-s-weight-loss-spectacular/320#post_806013"]My favorite plate was MAX HMR3. My car was silver. See if you can guess that one. ;)[/quote]

The Beatles? ...... and yes, I had to Google. :blush5: This is making me want to get a personalized plate. lol!!!
 
I love Moonlight Sonata, I played it on the piano! I should check out the others you mentioned. I love classical, yet, I haven't listened to much of it... boo!
 
Where has the ninja vanished to? :)


I hope everything is going well wherever you are, Robyn!

Give us an update sometime soon, would ya? :biggrin:
 
ARawr!

It has been way too long since I've posted here. Life has dealt another blow, but I'm still here. :p
I'm still in my tiny little house, with all of it's tiny little problems. I'm looking for a new place very soon. I lost the only babysitter I had in Kentucky, so my daughter has been living with a friend in Illinois since October. :( There are no jobs in Illinois, otherwise, I would have moved back. It has been a huge mess. I'm getting her back soon, but I still miss her.
When my daughter left, so did my determination. My food logging stopped, the exercise stopped....everything halted. I started picking up extra shifts at work, working 70+ hours a week. I haven't taken care of myself. My weight is at 222 right now. That's still 7lbs lower than I was at my last post. I haven't gained, but I haven't lost. I've done well to maintain. I don't want to do that anymore, though. I miss how happy I was when I was dropping the weight. It wasn't the weight loss, but the sense of actually sticking to a goal.
So...
I started again today. I still haven't had a regular soda since May. That's a huge thing. I try to stay away from sugar...that's a laugh. I haven't been drinking as much water...if any. I'm going to start with a few simple goals, to help myself achieve the bigger one. I know that the weight loss itself is super simple. I mean, I lost 68lbs in 4 months. That's insane! I only have another 40-60lbs before I'm content. In saying that....my goals will be...for the next two weeks...
1. Drink at LEAST 74.4oz of water daily. I have a water jug that holds that amount. XD
2. No. Sweets. None. Nada. No cheating and having just a couple of pieces of candy. That may seem extreme, but it's needed in the beginning. If I allow myself even a small treat at the start, I'll falter. I know now that I can have treats and maintain my weight, so I k ow this isn't forever.
3. Exercise. No limits. Just exercise. I don't move enough anymore.
4. Mini weight loss goal of 5lbs. Easy. I'll set my date for loss at February 3. Should be super duper easy. That gives me over a week to lose it.

I can do this. I did so well for the first four months. My main goal is to be 160lbs by my birthday, in June. That's 60lbs in a little over four months. I know I can do that. If I don't, well...that's okay. If I'm 20lbs shy, it's okay! As long as I'm still trying, that's all that matters. :)
 
AGlad to see you back! That really sucks about your daughter. :( You are a strong and determined lady though, I know you can do this. You are going to do faaaaabulous! :)
 
OMG Robyn! You're back!! :hurray::hurray:


So happy and excited to see you post again! It's been so long! As you can see from my last entry into your journal, it's been quite a few months!


Ack, and I'm sorry for the troubles you're going through. :) My sentiments are shared with Jen completely. Those circumstances can easily lead back into bad habits, but I'm thankful to see you maintained as best you could and are focused and ready to kick ass again!


It's been such a thrill to see all my friends returning! I was almost ready to send out a search-and-rescue for some of you, but now I can relieve my finger off the 911 button
smile.gif
hehe!


You can and will accomplish your goals! Lean on me, on all of us! We're here to help and push you as we always have been! :biggrin:


I'm so glad to see you back, Robyn!! :hurray:


2012 is looking to be an awesome year for so many! :biggrin:
 
AHi guys!!!

I'm happy to be back, and even happier that you two are still around! ::hugs:: I can only post from my phone, for now. I cut my internet out to save some money, but I miss it!

So, getting back on track has been a little hard, but not impossible. I went out and bought groceries today. I've been bad about getting meals when I need them, or worse...eating fast food. O.O I've been good about portions, and not getting too much, but I need to just cut it out for a while. I bought Turkey burgers, soup and lean cuisines for work, apples-for when I want something sweet. I weighed in at 222 on Wednesday night before work. When I woke up this morning at 6am, I was 119. :D already a 3lbs difference! My goal of 5lbs by next Friday seems silly, now. Haha! I'm still keeping it, though. I've found that if I go past a goal and then reset it, I can easily get disappointed if I don't reach the new goal. So...217. That's what I want. 218 will be 70lbs lost! I think the biggest milestone will be 199. When I get out of the 200's, I'm going to cry.

And I will do it. ;)

Hi there! :seeya:


Woah, did I just read my own diary?? I'm seriously flipping out right now! Alright, so I just hit 218lbs at my weigh in this week and that meant that I had, in fact, lost 70lbs!! AND my goal is 160 AND I want to hit that by June because that's when my birthday is!! Haha that is crazy that we have the exact same starting weight, are currently in the same place, and have the exact same goal and deadline (my birthday is on the 17th)!! Congrats on your almost 70lbs by the way, it's a tough road, I know! ;) I am right there with you on the 199, I am not even focused on my goal weight right now, I am just tired of seeing that damn 2 in front of my weight! I have never seen a number in the 100's at this height, so I know that when that day comes I am definitely going to cry.... and scream, and throw a freakin party!


The situation with your daughter must be heartbreaking, I think you should be really proud of yourself that you maintained during such a hard time as that. I know what you mean about missing the happiness you felt when losing weight, we can't control the tough breaks we get dealt sometimes, but we do have power over our weight loss and the ability to make that a thing to be positive about when everything else seems to be going wrong. You seem like a fiercely tough woman, I'm feeling pretty confident that you're gonna do this!


Welcome back to the forum, I am excited to see your progress... and maybe have a little friendly competition? ;)

Out of curiosity, how tall are you?
 
AThat is crazy!! When is your birthday? Mind's the 8th. I'm 5'5", on a good day. Lol
I am shooting for anywhere between 160 and 180. I was talking to a friend about it the other day, and he agrees. I have a lot of muscle and a lot of....um...breast...area. So, once I get to 180, I'm going to see how that feels on me. If I want to go lower, I will. :)

What sort of competition would you like to do? I'm up for a challenge!

Woohoo! Nice, Robyn! :hurray:


I know how difficult it can be to get back on track, but you will and everything will get easier.

Turkey burgers and lean cuisines are fantastic! That was such a huge factor in the majority of my weight loss! I should probably go back to turkey burgers as it's certainly more substantial than cereal bars.


Keep up with that and you will see great results! :biggrin:


And don't get discouraged if you don't hit your goal in the time you've give yourself. You will get there! I've come into weeks during my weight loss where I'll do everything to perfection, but sometimes the body is just like 'nah. not gonna cooperate this week. better luck next time.' It's so easy to get really frustrated during those moments, but just focusing, and coming here to the forums to vent and get support, has always resulted in successful weeks not long after.

You got this, Robyn! :hurray:
 
Haha!

AI weighed myself this morning. 216.6! Haha! Exactly 6lbs! I'm a pound ahead of my goal, with 4 days to spare!
I forgot how hard it is to be on top of my eating. I think about eating bad stuff whenever I am home alone. I know that once my daughter is back on the 10th(yay!), I'll never be bored. It's just getting back on the horse.
I think milestones are neat. I was just talking to a coworker about my weight loss, and realized some neat milestones.
It has almost been 9 months since I've had a regular soda. I eventually started drinking diet soda, but I don't consume nearly as much of it as I did the regular stuff.
I haven't been 216 in over 10 years. When I got pregnant with my son, I went from 165 to 220.

I am 17lbs away from being under 200. 17. I am 17lbs away from being my older sister's weight. She has ALWAYS been skinnier than I have. Whenever she mentions that I've lost weight, it stings a little. It's sweet that she says it, and awesome that people notice...but...there's always this feeling of condescension. When I'm skinnier than her, though. Bwuahaha. I don't know what she'll do. It actually reminds me of a documentary I just watched. There were two brothers, both large, but one was just a bit larger. The smaller one told the camera crew that he was always worried about his brother, and that he needed to lose weight. They were only about 30lbs apart! I wanted to smack the guy. So...the bigger brother lost all of the weight, while the now bigger brother said he wouldn't change his ways. He had a heart attack shortly after, and is now dieting. >.< Of course, I don't want that to happen to my sister. It the same sort of thing, though. She's in the 190's, but considers herself WAY smaller than I am. I just realized, though, as I'm typing this, that I only have about 20lbs on her! Ha! Now I have another motivating point!

I've noticed, as a complete side note, that I'm still in a size 20. I have read where there are women who are bigger than I am who are in 18's and 16's. It's frustrating when people as how many pant sizes I've gone down, and I say 3. I went from a 26 to a 20. That's still insane, but confusing. My hips are wider, and I have a super round rear end, so I don't think I'll ever be in anything smaller than a 12. I'm not mad about it. I just think it's interesting.
And...
I'm rambling. Have a great day, everyone!
 
AI ended up staying under my calories and biking 2.5 miles today. It was really nice outside, so I decided to bike to the post office and the bank. I was super sore, but I felt awesome. I was really anxious and wired, so I ended up only getting about 3 hours of sleep before work. I weighed in at 216.4. It's only a .2lbs loss, but that's understandable. I didn't have a proper sleep cycle to let my body recoup. I work until 8:30am, then I have to be back at 2pm until 10pm...then back at 12:30-8:30am. Bleh. I'll have 4 hours of sleep after this shift, and I'll be able to take a two hour nap from 10-12:30. After laundry, I can sleep all day Wednesday. I also have a three day weekend, so, I'll be fine. :)
So, obviously the tiny loss is a little discouraging, but it's still a loss. I'm heading in the right direction. :)
