Kaika's Krap

Thanks C but I'm not going anywhere, just not going to be posting quite as much. I'll be back on Sunday with my weigh in and stuff. :)
 
Hi Kaika,
Let me echo cerelly - you're in my thoughts on the days you're away from here. You're still doing a good job, and it's good that you're taking a step back so that you're not constantly thinking about losing weight. Hugs!

Thanks Slimmom, I appreciate it. :)

Well, I did lose 1.5 pounds last week but I'm not going to move my ticker just yet. I think I'll give it another week and see what happens. My goal is to lose 2.5 pounds a week so I have to make some slight changes. If I can do that, I'll be sooooo happy. :jump:

Excellent we totally have faith in ya:):):)
 
I'm glad somebody does, ha ha!

Yesterday, I walked. It was good. Anyway, I am figuring out why I am over wieght. Point blank, I still eat sometimes when I am full AND I eat super fast when I eat. I think if I would just slow down and stop with the picking after I'm full because "It just tastes too good to stop." I would be okay. That and of course get more active. Just because "Sue or Mary" can eat like a pig and not gain an ounce, doesn't mean that my body is built that way. I think we have to really listen to the signals our body sends us and stop when our body says no more. I'm really going to try and work on that. If I don't, I can lose all the weight in the world but it's not going to matter because I won't keep it off. Here's hoping I can do this. :hug2: (I know that's a hug but it looks like someone trying to fasten their belt so I think it's appropriate, lol)
 
Okay, I changed my goal wieght on my ticker. Not that this is my ultimate goal weight, that will still be 135, but I felt I really needed to up it to take off some of the pressure of losing. The reason being is I was reading a thread Mal posted about fear and weight loss and after reading it, I figured out that that was a huge problem for me. I always knew it kind of was, but I didn't realize how much of an impact it had on my weight loss until I read that post.

I remember when I first started losing I would tell myself, "Once you get to your goal, you can always wear big baggy sweats, hoodies and sunglasses so you don't have to be noticed if you don't want to be." Being over weight made me kind of invisible and there were times, even though I didn't realize it, that I wanted to be.

It's all because I have this big fear of predator type men. My last relationship was with an abusive bastard and it's also when I started to really put on weight. This has been a long time fear for me though. My mother was sexually assulted when I was little and it's seems I heard about it my whole life, and it always scared the crap out of me. After losing the weight I lost, I think my subconcious said "Okay, that's enough.", but I have to get over this. If I ever want to be truly happy, I have to get over this fear and get this weight off me. My kids are older now but I'm not getting any younger and it's time for me to start to live my life the way I want to. However, I can't do that with all of this extra weight on me and I certainly can't do it with these fears looming over my head, so it's time to do something about it. I just hope I can figure out what.

In the mean time, I'm going to shoot for 185 instead of 135 and take things from there. I'm hoping my subconcious will be okay with this new goal until I can figure out how to alleviate this fear of mine.
 
Hi Kaika. Thanks for sharing this. You're being really honest with yourself and you sound very smart to me. 185 sounds like a good goal weight. You know you will feel fabulous about yourself when you get there. Once you're there, you can plan out your next goal.
 
Thanks Slimmom. You are always so sweet. I actually have been doing much better since I changed my goal weight. Also, instead of "cardio" I've been doing some major cleaning this week and once it's all done, then I'll go back to my cardio. I've been cleaning out closets, scrubbing bathroom tiles, scrubbing down all of my appliances, ect... but I'm still lifting my weights a couple times a week. Anyway, I'm hoping this will get me started and not think about losing so much. It seems to be going well so far and I've been sticking to around 1600 calories a day. We'll see how it's going toward the end of the week, that's usually when I falter.
 
It's been a while since I've been here. I've managed to maintain my 18 pound wieght loss however, I haven't lost anymore but that's okay. I haven't really been dieting persay, just living more healthy. I defintiely have more stamina. Anyway, I'm going to see what I can do between now and Halloween so I just wanted to pop in and jot this down. I most likely won't be here everyday, I may not evem come back until Halloween but I did want to make a note of this none the less.

By the way, my scales have been put down the basement. I brought them up today just to check my weight but I will not be bringing them up again until Halloween. I refuse to be a slave to that thing. :mad:

Good luck everyone and I'll see you soon!

Hi Kaika! I'm glad to see you! Congratulations on maintaining your 18 pound loss AND for not being a slave to the scale!!! See you around Halloween!
 
Been a long time since I posted. Obviously the Halloween thing didn't go to well, lol. Anyway, I changed my ticker to what my big home scale says rather than what my doctor's says (including my starting weight) even though my home scale says two pounds more. I also changed my goal weight. One goal at a time. First goal, get below 210 then take it from there. I'm glad I managed to keep 15 pounds off, now I Just have to get the rest of it off me.

Anyway, I'm not sure how often I will post but I did want to come here and up date things so I can keep better track of my progress. I'm sure I'll be back at one time or another.

Good luck with your goals everyone!
 
Up 3.5 "sigh" I don't know why I just can't lose anymore. At least I'm keeping track of it.

Edit: My goal this week lose 2.5 pounds.
215.5 by next Sunday.

I changed my ticker from pounds to killograms. I want to lose 1kg a week (2.2 pounds), it just feels less overwhelming this way. Plus the fact that I'm under 100kgs, that makes me feel a little better.
 
I lost six pounds this week! All most 3kgs, I can't flipping believe it! It's partially because of fitday.com. Not to sound like an informercial but It really helped me keep track of everything I ate which was why I wasn't losing anything before, duh, and it doesn't cost anything, I really like it. Anyway, I don't expect to lose 6 pounds every week, I know some of that was water wieght but I'm hoping to lose between 2 and 3.

Looks like Kaika is finally back on track! Let's hope I can keep it that way.

Edit: Oh and I changed my ticker back to pounds. It's easier to look at now that I actually lost weight.

:)Ya you too - I took a break for awhile - I changed jobs about 4 months or so ago and it was a crazy transition.It is shift work and on call 24/7 *BLAH* So I took a little break and gained back some weight and here I am again - finally back on track :) Looks like you are too - like you have found what works:)
 
You can do it. :)

Well, only 1/2 a pound loss this week. Once again my period is all screwy. I should have gotten it like two weeks ago. This happens every time I diet and of course it messes with my wieght loss. In all fairness I did take last Sunday off from dieting to try and get my period to come so I did have more calories this week than a normal, weight loss week but not that much more, it was only one day. Anyway, that obviously didn't work so I won't be doing that again.

I guess 1/2 a pound is at least something. I hope I get my damn period soon.

On another note, my rep power went way up. Wow, thanks everyone. :)
