Lukewarm's Weight Loss Diary

Hey! I'm back, done moving, thank god! I hate moving so much!

HOLY COW 156 I are jealous! Well, it's my own fault for being stuck at this weight seeing as I'm not doing anything about it. Must get back on track damn it! LOL Being lazy is just so much easier!

Anyways, congrats, you're doing awesome girl! WOO!
 
Blancita Thank you, I had a fabulous time!

Lena I did think of all of you while I was there...it helped me to make good choices for sure!

Cinder I am home safe now thanks!

Rho I boil the eggs and then peel them and eat only the whites! I actually like peeling them, but I agree that any other way would be GROSS! :rotflmao: I missed you loads my friend as well!

Kim aw I'm so happy that you're back in your pool! Thank you for being a sweetheart and checkin in on me sista ;)

Risty Hey sweetheart! I'm happy you're back and through moving! Don't even be jealous, we all have rough patches and I know that you're going to be right on track soon.

OK so I'm home! I had such a beautiful time that I can't even begin to explain what a wonderful trip it was. I could go into ridiculous details but I'll just say that I had the best vacation I've ever had and my best friend's wedding was heartbreakingly beautiful and perfect. I miss my friends so much already. I have good news on the weight font. I WEIGH 149!!!!!!! The reason is because I have been severely undereating for the past 12 days. I made excellent choices however, although I must admit that I spent far too much time drinking. I'm sort of excited to be back home so that I don't have to go out drinking all the damn time haha. I've been at 149 for the past couple days and I haven't emailed Leigh yet so I must do that right this moment. I feel overwhelmed at all of the diaries I have to check. I CAN"T WAIT to do it, but I know that I must have missed quite a lot, so I will be around slowly but surely, I really missed ALL of you! I came back home to no internet (ugh) so I am sitting in the Panera lounge doing my business. I only ate a greek salad (promise!) among all the other tempting muffins and cookies. Working on my second bottled water...getting back into the routine ya know ;)
 
Mal Thank you! I appreciate it, I'm happy to be back home now :)

OMG sista are you telling me you lost 6 pounds while you were gone?? I'm so damn jealous!! WOW, I sit in admiration of your not over indulging. GOOD JOB! Oh I'm so happy for you!! You must be in a new size of clothes right? Or what you have must be falling off your hips girlfriend. And all this and you had a most excellent time with your friends, YES!!!!! CONGRATS on resting, relaxing, not overeating, and having a damn good time!!!! You've earned every minute of it!!! Have a good evening
Kim
 
Hey Sara!!! Welcome back! I missed you like crazy! How did the wedding go? I'll bet you felt fabulous throughout! Any pics?

I can't believe you lost 6lbs! In 2 weeks?! I guess you did undereat (but I thought alcohol had a lot of calories as well)..

It's great to have you back :) You sure deserved the break!

Oh that is so awesome Sara!!!

Weren't you concerned earlier about gaining on that trip? Great job!!! We're all so glad for you--I guess I can't speak for anyone else, but I love to hear about people on WLF battling the Vacation Binges and winning!

On a sour note, I ate and drank too much on my own measly 2 day vacation--at least I exercised! Sigh!

Have a great day tomorrow!
 
Good job Sara! I'm glad you're back and that you had a great time. While you must change your ticker down, I must change mine up as I've gained about 3 pounds while you were away. Boo hoo. If I could only hang around you for a few weeks and just do exactly what you do, I'd get there so much quicker.
 
Cinder Thank you for the welcome back! :hug2:

Kim Thanks so much! Yes size 8 is falling off at the moment, and I'm now back in some size 6's I've had tucked away. I know that I probably lost far more than simply fat, but I have to say that I feel really great about somehow losing the pounds on vacation. It must have been the dancing ;)

Rho YES I have lots of pics, or I will once my friends send them to me. The moment I get them, I will post. Last time I posted a pic in my diary was at 163 lbs. Once I reach 143 lbs. I'm going to post another. Thanks so much for sticking with me Rho :hug2:

Sunny Thank you girl! I agree, I had to check again this morning to make sure, and yep! 149 :)

Val Thanks so much, because I completely agree that vacations are death for diets usually. I think the fear of not fitting in a dress helps though. I overdrank as well, but I only managed one day of actually exercising, I was simply too busy for anything more. I'm happy that you kept exercising!

Blancita Thank you so much :hug2: come on down woman! We'll have our own little boot camp and we can laze around the beach which always takes my mind off of eating/dieting. You've got to treat yourself sometime...come to P'cola! I'm sorry about the three pounds, but you're so very close that it is impossible to knock them off easily. You can do it though, I have absolute faith that you'll reach your goal.

Ok I just wanted to let you all know that I got my job back today. I am bartending once more at this seafood place on the gulf starting TOMORROW! It's a job that I quit a year ago because I was getting too depressed to carry on and it felt fabulous to walk in there refreshed and ready to go. But I have to say that I'm worried a bit because I will not have the same amount of time to post as I have in the past couple months. I have 16 credit hours at college + 20 hours working + Daily exercise/dieting= :eek: This may not seem like much for a normal person but I am naturally unstructured. This will be my biggest challenge so far. I'm great at one thing at a time. School/ OR work/ OR being healthy. So I'm going to try really hard to succeed. Basically what I'm saying is that while I'll be posting in my diary every day still, I might not always have time to stop by everyone's diary, but I will do my best, because I want to know how everyone is doing and I want to support all of you in the ways that you have supported me. It's going to be interesting to see how I handle this. Ok I have to go right now and pick up new work shirts and shoes as well as find something to eat, I hope you all have a beautiful night and I can't wait to come home tonight and check out all of your diaries. :hug2:

I hear ya lukewarm. I need to get back into the routine again. I can't believe your clear down to 149. That is so awesome. I just know your going to hit your goal. I on the other hand have had an off couple/few weeks where I have just been kinda blah about everything. I get weighed in tomorrow and measured. I hope I haven't gained. I can take a maintain but a gain would suck!!!

I am getting back on track though. My trainer is going to switch up my workout because i was getting BORED, which I think has contributed a lot to my lack of getting my ass to the gym....

I need to really start writing in my food journal again. For some reason I decided it's okay not to do that, or I will do it for 3 or 4 days and be really good, then I will mess up on my eating badly and not want to write it in there because I feel like it looks so bad... I am crazy, I know. LOL

You getting down to 149 totally brightened my day. I remember reading your journal for the first time just a few months ago and where you started. It's amazing what can happen with some hard work and dedication (yours:)
Congrats!!!

-Sam:)
 
Your overall weight loss has really spurred me on as well. I'm actually sitting here starving right now. I've had about 1300 calories but I"m thinking if Sara can eat that amount and even less, while working out and I have not even exercised, I can do this too! But shiat, I am hungry! I need a few low days every week though, plus avoiding overeating on weekends with a much greater effort, and maybe I can possibly succeed at this? I dunno...

Thank you so much for the invitation! I would love to meet you sometime. Is Pcola far from Tampa? My sis lives there and since you mentioned the Gulf?

The job/school thing does sound busy. Definitely keep posting in your diary if you have time and as for me, I'd so miss your appearance but dont feel bad as I know you're very busy. Sometimes I feel like I need to get off this website myself!
 
Okay Sara, it's time to post some NEW PICTURES of yourself, since now youve made it to the 140's. POST NOW!! can't wait to see them!!

Cinder Awww thanks!

Sam You know I'm wondering how my workouts are going to change too! I sent Leigh my email tonight so we'll see what she has in mind. Thank you for your words, I want very much to continue losing the next 39 pounds. I feel ok now, as in I no longer feel very very overweight, but I still don't feel satisfied. I'm thinking "if I came this far, I can certainly push harder now that I'm fitter and in a better state of mind." I want to laugh at myself a little bit when I think of how hard my 33 lbs. were to lose, when there are some that have accomplished far more than that. But I still feel like I've never worked as hard for anything else before in my life. I'm proud so far. I need to keep on pushing. WE need to keep on pushing, we can absolutely do this.

Blancita (I saw in Val's diary that your name is Claudia? That's beautiful! I didn't know!) Thank you so much. You better eat more than 1300!!! I think that Tampa is like 7ish hours from Pensacola, and my invitation certainly stands! Whenever ;) You inspire me too, I'm happy if I can somehow help you, I do know what you mean, because I gather strength from every single person I read about on WLF. But anyways I've gotta say that I can't wait until you start lifting again because it really helps me to see other women lifting and loving it, since I'm not there yet. Dude I'm still so grateful you told me to do it in the first place. And ughhhh I want to post all the time, I walk by my computer and I just don't have an hour to sit down and check out everything. School starts in about ohhh...5 days? What the hell am I going to do when I have to incorporate studying?? I barely had time to take picture (YES pictures! hahaha!) and measurements to send in an email to Leigh tonight.

Kim k you asked for it....! Well last pictures I took were at 163 so here is me tonight at 149. I wanted to wait until I lost about 6 more pounds but I'm proud right now. I found some pictures the other day of me at 187 lbs. and I truly did not recognize myself, it made me cry actually. I might scan them and post them soon because those pictures really show the difference. I can't wait until I'm at my goal weight. Ok I have to go but I hope you all have a beautiful night!
 
I have spinning early in the morning and I want to post this now so that tomorrow I will only have to update as I go along. The photos of me at 163 lbs. are on page 43 if you wanted to see the (small) differences. Also I'm posting my new measurements chart as some added incentive for me to get back to 125 soon. I think I may change my Christmas goal to 125 lbs...I want to make it to 125 by Christmas if possible. I just looked at my thigh measurement from 4 years ago...I must have messed that up, there is no way my thighs are smaller now when I'm 25 lbs. heavier.

You are such a gorgeous girl Sara. The guys will be drooling over you on campus.

I can't believe you look so tiny at 149! Maybe your thigh had more fat and less muscle before when you last measured it. I wear a size 6 at 128 lbs and I'm only 5'1 and 1/2. Added muscle weighs a lot. But then again it all depends on the shape you're after too. I like having some curves since I always have, so I'd feel really weird without my butt and some meat on me.

Thanks again for the invite, Leesie (the baby) and I may one day take you up on that :). Do keep us in mind if you ever want to visit NYC.
