Hi & good morning everyone! I lost some pounds (3, I think) I'm down to 211 now, and apparently the 1500 cal thing is going really well. I have been a little cranky, but the weight loss cheered me right up. I even changed my ticker to that cutie pie fish with lipstick! I'm really excited about it! I've been exercising every day, even if it's only 10 minutes at a time I'm getting in at least 30 minutes a day, trying for about an hour a day. I only have 12 pounds to my first goal, which is to get below 200, 16 pounds to my second goal, which is to be at 195 by June 1st, and I forget what the goal is after that. I just decided on it recently. I'll have to go back and read my own diary to find out!

Thank you all so much for the support and advice. It REALLY did work! I've got to pop into some journals for a minute and then I'll collect my thoughts for the day.

I say this....if you NEVER changed your eating habits one bit, and slowly increased your exercise, there is really no choice but to lose weight!! I have literally starved myself before, and not exercised...as SOON as I ate regularly again, I gained it back plus some....BUT, if I eat the same, and walk every single day, like I used to when my kids were little,and I walked them to school(about 3 miles a day) I lost ten pounds without even trying, and kept it off the whole school year. Soo, YAY exercise!!:D YOU are doing GREAT!!!!
 
Hello! I'm sleep deprived from too much work and it's only going to get worse. But I'm planning on catching up on my sleep so maybe I'll be ready to face it anyway. I didn't magically gain that weight back, so I feel pretty good, but I also didn't have any time to exercise Monday or Tuesday. I'll manage to get some in today. Last night I was driving across the state in the middle of the night and I ended up eating breakfast at Dennys at 2 AM because I was starving and tired. I know not getting enough sleep makes you overeat, but I really thought I would fall asleep at the wheel if I didn't just stop & eat (it worked, I did get home OK) but because of 2 nights in a row of 4-5 hours of sleep I over ate. I was probably at about 2200 calories yesterday if you count my mid night breakfast yesterday. If I count it today, then I'm going to be starving tonight, so I decided to split it and count half of it yesterday (which would still put me over by 350 cal) and half of it today, and I'm going to try to come in a little under my 1500 cal. goal today. The reality is that this is all just "new math" and I'm trying to shave up to 700 cal off today, which isn't possible for me, so I'm going to have to cut as many off as I can instead. I don't think it will break me anyway, I've been really good in all other aspects, and even though I didn't formally exercise, I was pretty active for part of the day anyway.

So, those are my thoughts for the day. Have a good one!
 
Hope you are having a good day so far.... I feel for ya on your sleep. You seem to have a great plan for yourself. Keep up the good work and GET SOME SLEEP :D
 
Just stopping by to check in on ya. Hope your day has been good and I hope you get some sleep! :D Don't worry too much about the early morning breakfast. It won't really hurt that much to go over your calories once in awhile. :)

Thanks Kate, I struggle with that a lot, and I know I'm pressed for time, so I'm trying for a reasonable compromise. I was really lean (for me at least) and actually losing weight when I was eating 2200 cal. a day and doing 1 hour of cardio, 1 hour of weights, and 1 hour of yoga or pilates EVERY DAY, but I couldn't maintain that schedule. I just had a freak 6 months of spare time that completely evaporated after that. Now, I'm just striving for balance.

Thanks so much to all of you, I need & love the advice you offer. You're all very highly appreciated! I hope I can give back what I feel I get from all of you!
 
Keep up the good work...you can do it...I PMed you about being a buddy...let me know what you think. :)
 
Hey Sara, got it & PM'd right back. Gotta go now, I'm about to be super late for dinner and I haven't even finished work.

Sara is my new buddy everyone! We'll get through this yet!
 
Good morning ladies, I lost another pound. I'm at 210 now, and I can't wait until I'm under 200, I've been waiting forever for that it seems! I've been really good, and I cut most of that middle of the night breakfast from Tues/Wed. So I was only over on calories between Tues & Wed by about 200 total, and that includes all the not sleeping and mad running around. I think I'm square and back on the 1500 plan today. Plus I've had a cup of water today! Only at least 7 more to go! Yippee! Gotta get to work, I'm way behind. I'm gonna change my ticker real quick first...
 
That's awesome girl! I'm so happy for you, look how much closer you are.. it seems like forever but when you get there and look back you'll be like hey that went fast! Thanks for the post.. I know I just need a big shake haha - I hope you have an awesome day though.. take care girlfriend :)
 
Woooohooooooooooo Girlfriend I Am So Proud Of You!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well, a minor disappointment, though I hope it won't stick: I was back at 211 this morning (but I'm not changing my ticker back yet). I have to weigh myself every day, I don't try as hard if I don't. Any small loss makes me happy and I try harder to keep it up, any small gain makes me sad and I resolve to change it. I didn't do anything that I can think of to put on a pound, so who knows what it is. I'm going to go for a speed walk during lunch today, my legs hurt from Power Yoga yesterday so I'm nixing the run. I'll run on my trampoline, it doesn't hurt as much, but it's still good exercise. I also feel like that pound could be snot, my sinuses feel so miserable. Can someone have a pound of snot?

Jumping back to my earlier subject, I believed the 210 weight because it stuck for 2 days, I never believe a weight loss the first day, but for some reason I do believe a weight gain on the first day. Unfair maybe, but it seems to keep me from ballooning up like I have in the past. For me, ignorance is misery and the more vigilant I am about monitoring my weight, the more manageable it is. Anyway, I'm hoping for a good weekend. I'm going to try to exercise A LOT to make that pound go away. I was so happy yesterday, It's a shame that my weight can have such control over my moods.
 
I know what you mean!! If it says i gained, i'm like, "OH MAN!" but if it says I lost i'm like "Well, we'll see" lol!

But your doing great hun, and remember, slow and steady wins the race!
 
Just a quick post before I take off for the weekend. I feel kinda sick, almost really sick (head cold I think) but I'm going to go on a fairly brisk 2 mile walk - no running, I might die today - and try to sweat it out a little. I promise to eat right and exercise this weekend. I'll report in again on Monday, although my schedule is getting tighter. I promise to keep posting though, it really helps me! Catch y'all later...
 
Hi Princess! I just read your first entry... 60 lbs, that is amazing. Bravo! I hope you get better soon and great progress (5 lbs in less than a month :eek: ).
