kelly's diary

Howdy Happy,
Duh I am a blonde but I put 2 and 2 together lol and figuredout you and cerella hang out you are very pretty love the pic she posted.
It is so easy to stay on track when you are outdoors everytime I get stuck in the house do to bad weather or kids sick I find myself wanting to eat and eat.
Anyway have a nice walk and keep up the gr8 work,your ticker is just ticking away!Tammy
 
One thing I have to admit that has helped me avoid overeating since I began this journey last January is having to drink two litres everyday.

It satisfies the urge to put something in my mouth after breakfast or after lunch and that is when I do my drinking.
 
Have to remember to really stretch afterward.

Think I must be burning a lot of calories because I'm going hungrey on 2000 calories. Fighting nightime eating again.
 
Wow, 18K? That's a good distance, I'm proud of you Kelly! Keep it up, and remember what CYM said a long time ago: going to bed slightly hungry almost always equals a weight loss the next day. I think it's a secret! Shhhhh!
 
Thanks Curvie and Cannon.

Today I am starting over with my commitment to track calories. 2000. Chatted with new user V33 who posted before and after shots and he encouraged me to just keep it up.

It is a bit of a headache, but worth it and I will rediscover the satisfaction of having my intake be right on the button. I can do it.

I try really hard not to think about how I look in my spandex and just enjoy the activity and I do pretty good, but I see from photos and a rude mirror at street market last night that I am still generously curvy. I like being curvy, I have always been curvy. Slowly but surely I will continue to chip away. Seven more pounds and I will be out of obese category and in to merely overweight.
 
I notice I lose hope when I get hungry late in the day. Like today I was kinda losing hope, but then I noticed I still had 150 calories left for a bowl of oatmeal and that has satisfied me and I think I will be okay for the night.

Gonna drink some water in a bit.
 
I am happy tonight to see that some of my enthusiasm for the forum is returning. I've been busy but its a choice that I made to disengage. But I am being taken back to my early days last January when I was so enthusiastic and the forum was part of that. I lost every month, sometimes 4 pounds.

It sustained me as did the knowlege that I had eaten at a deficit every day and over time, by god, I lost.

I am proud of the twenty I have lost in four or five months. Can I do it again? Tonight I want to.
 
Wow Kelly, did you get rid of your car in favor of the bike? Good for you on the riding, that is awesome. I think its great to take a break and maintain after a large loss like your 20 pounds. Now you'll get the rest off! I've also always been curvy so I know how you feel, I like it and dont want to lose all my curves at all. Hope you have a great day :).
 
Howdy kelly,
I hope your day is going well for ya!
I can see where the confusion is I set my ticker for my HALLOWEEN GOAL
But APRIL of last year after my son I weighed in at 255 and I have weighed that pretty much the last 15 years of my life I have been about 200ish through highschool ,well anyway I was reading on counting and cutting calories so I started the 1,200 cals at the end of April and struggled until like july and found this website and weighed in I think 236 and by OCT of last year I hit 190's then benn kind of I guess you can say maintaining since then BUT I want to keep going until I reach my ULTIMATE GOAL of 145!!
I don't get hungry with the diet because I have researched all the right foods to get the MOST for my calories.

HOWEVER it is interesting the formula way I may look into that when I finally break the 170's for the 10'th time since last year lol.I will go fix my ticker because I have worked so very hard to get to where I am now.I want to share with other's struggling like I did.

Thank you for popping in I have missed ya I went back in my diaary and 1/2 the peeps that used to visit me don't anymore.I will visit you more often to.:)
HAVE A GR8 DAY......TAMMY......:hug2:

You can do it, Kelly! Just take it one step at a time, and don't be too hard on yourself when you slip backward a little.
 
Kelly, I'm feeling a new vibe coming from your diary!! It sounds like determination and goal reaching to me. GOOD LUCK sweetheart, I know your going to do just fine!!

Going to implement refeeds after reading articles on leptin in Steve's diary.

For me that will look like 20% OVER maintenance for a day every week.

I think my metabolism has slowed as I have not lost anything in several months.
 
Yes, you CAN lose that next 20 lbs. Keep cycling, keep paying attention to the calories, and keep watching your late night intake--fresh fruit! That can help! :hug2:
 
Oh, so only lean people really need to do refeeds. Significantly overweight people can increase their leptin levels by eating at maintenance for 3-7 days. I'm going to do that.

For me that looks like 180 x 15 = 2700 calories

I'm gonna do it. It will be something new to try that might help me restart losing.
