Lukewarm's Weight Loss Diary

Giving a bump to your thread and just wanted to say your last photos are still blowing my mind!!!

Hope you are having a wonderful day Sara.
 
Just wanted to stop by and say I have been reading your journal and getting inspired.....I hope I will be one day where you're at now, your pics look AMAZING. I bet the Bob Dylan concert was fun, he is one of my favs! I have limited edition posters of his in my living room.
 
Hey! I haven't been here for a while, but I see you're still doing as awesome as ever :D I can't believe your ticker is at 143! That's soooo great! I'm so jealous, lol. But you get what you put in, and you put in a lot. I slacked for so long, but I'm back into it and lost a couple pounds already :)

Soon you're gonna have to put your before and after pics up because you're almost done! I can't wait to see those!

Good luck with the rest of your weight loss with your life being so busy and all but I know you'll do it :)
 
Where are you little sis??? I'm missing you in a big way!! I hope your still rocking the scales, and I hope your schooling and your job is doing GREAT!!
Miss ya!

I have fallen off, I have fallen off, I'm actually blushing as I type this. I weigh 150 lbs. and I have gained 7 lbs. I didn't go to spinning ONCE last month, and then I haven't been back since. OKAY I am going to bed. And then in the morning I will be back on schedule, I'm trying not to beat myself up over this but I have to say that I can't stop all of these thoughts from flooding my mind. It's okay *deep breath* I just have to become disciplined again and post here every day as before, and I'd like to point out that I've been DYING to come on WLF, but I have simply felt too guilty. Please don't be disappointed. I hope you are all doing wonderfully. I'm sure you are. I'm in need of motivation.
 
Dont feel too badly Sara, you're making the effort to get on track before things get further out of hand and that's good. You should know we're so glad to hear from you. You were really pushing yourself, working out exhaustively and eating a VERY low amount of calories. At some point it seems people just cant keep going at that rate. I say slow down just a bit and dont go to such extremes this time around so you dont keep yo yoing back and forth like this. It seems only a matter of time before the strictness gets tiring. Nip this yo yoing in the bud NOW while you're young. Make healthy changes but dont eat an orange for a meal and wonder why you let go and decided not to keep up with it. Or go spinning 6 days a week and wonder why you're tired of it and can't even force yourself to go if you tried.

How about something like cardio for 30-60 min 3 x per week and weights 45 min 2 x per week. Something a little easier to fit in and keep up with.

As for me, I haven't lost a damn pound since May or June. That's embarrassing too :).
 
Sara, don't even worry about it. I did the same thing myself! lol I have been really busy but I could have made time to write a post here and there, but I was so depressed about not staying on track and gaining a few pounds that I was too embarrassed and guilty to come write. So I know how you feel.

The most important thing to remember is that even though we didn't stay on track and had gained a few pounds, we can admit it and get right back on track!

So don't worry about your little break, it might even have been good for you! Just think about your plan of action from today and onwards. You'll get back into it no prob and you'll lose those 5lbs plus more! :D
 
Blancita Gosh I've missed you! You're totally right, although I feel like I'm failing, the truth is I just need to nip it in the bud. Because it's not so bad at the moment, at least I know how it got so bad before now, I felt the way I'd been feeling for the past few weeks. I feel so much better already.

Risty YES exactly. I literally feel calm about it now. I want so much to not have issues with food, but just because I don't WANT them doesn't mean I don't have them. Denial has been the little bird on my shoulder for the past few weeks.

You guys are so great thank you.
 
hi Honey! you were BUSY! No worries!

I did the same thing, it's ok :hug2:

A lot of people on here with more experience told me something valuable: we're young, it is GREAT that we are tying to maintain some sort of healthy lifestyle right now. It is far harder on the body to lose weight at say, 59, then 22. You and I just have to try hard to be healthy and eat right and exercise to live a long, healthy life :D We missed you!
 
Valerie I'm ready to get back into it. I guess I'm just a little shocked that I did stop because I actually really enjoy it. I am relieved I'm doing this at this point in my life, I want to be a runner one day like you, wish I was right now.

Why on earth would anyone be disappointed in you? If they are, they've got way too much time on their hands and need to be bitchslapped by the judgemental fairy...

DOn't you even be disappointed in yourself - it's 7lbs -so what... no harm done -pick yourself up and go forward...
 
Are you kidding?? 7 lbs NO SWEAT!! you can bust that away in no time!! Look how much you have lost previously, that's a huge amount of weight and you did it then and you can do it again, I know it! :) I've missed you so much, and I'm so pleased to see you have made it back. And how in the world could you ever think we would be dissapointed, when in fact I'm still been plugging away at 4 gym nights a week, and look at my sad little ticker, I've only lost 25 lbs, now that sucks!!! LOL LOL You go girl!! Keep plugging forward and get that MOJO Back, I also look to you to keep me straight. :hug2:
HUGS!!

Val I do. I work 4 days a week and have class 3 days a week. I have time. But I've been going out, studying, just being lazy when it comes to exercise. Like I've always said, when I skip once, it turns into a bad cycle of skipping from that point on. With alcohol added in to my diet and bad food choices here and there (that I didn't even really enjoy) that's how I gained 7 lbs.

Mal Thanks, that means a lot. I really appreciate it. I agree, it's 7 lbs, sure I worked hard to take them off before and I will again, it's a setback but no big deal.

Kim What's up sister! I have missed you too, I wanted to come around to your diary and see how you are but I must go to work so I will have to later, but thank you. You're going to the gym 4x week and still keeping on track, you're doing a fabulous job.
 
I'm glad you have time! Peer pressure is a bitch, too! I had to quit drinking and going out to lose the bunny chub I accumulated this summer, myself--it was what works for me.

Being in college does that to girls--ever heard of the freshman 15? Yup it happened to me!!!
 
Hey Sara, yeah I know whatcha mean. When I skip it's really easy for me to keep skipping as well. And then when you do that, it's really easy to slack off on the eating. It is a terrible cycle. I've done that a few times! Just got over that a couple a weeks ago. I also did that in the 170's. I hope that I won't end up doing it again tho.

But you can lose your 7 pounds no problem! Like Kim said, you've lost so much weight already, this 7 pounds will be nothing to lose! Plus it's easier with a new found motivation! At least that's how it was with me. Hopefully my motivation will stick around, LOL. But you, you always do such awesome workouts and eat well, you'll do just fine :D

No one at all is disappointed and you should be either. I think every single person goes through that period. You're not the first and won't be the last. Just learn from it and move forward :D
 
hey girl :) how are things. don't worry about the 7lbs...i almost put everything back. now i'm back and trying to do it once again. hang in there.we're here for ya.

:)
