New Year, New Thread for Those who Weigh 200 lbs/90 Kg or More

I have a doctors appointment today and after weighing myself today, I'm so proud of myself.

When I went a month ago I weighted 251 pounds.

Now I weight 244! Woo Hoo!! :party:

This was a good month. Correction... a great month!
 
Memorial Day has come and gone

Weather was a little iffy, but at least the tornado didn't hit us. And that's kind of how the long weekend went. It was good to get three days off work, but somehow I spent hours making a new necklace instead of doing all the spring cleaning that was on my list. And it's a ridiculous 5-foot long glass necklace that I can't quite figure out how to wear. LOL

On the plus side, I also spent hours on my bike, just riding around the city checking out yard sales and cemetery open houses (no, REALLY!). In fact, my husband and I were just riding back from the Sunday cemetery tour when we were hit by a cold blast of wind from the north and looked over our shoulders to see a wall of dark cloud looming ominously over the northern half of the city. We skedaddled for home, and didn't find out until the next day that an F4 tornado had been devastating a northern suburb at that very moment. Fifty houses reduced to splinters, another hundred damaged. I felt vaguely guilty that we didn't give that wall of weather another thought once we realized we weren't going to get rained on.

As far as dieting goes, the week was a wash. I did not stick to my planned diet (1600-1800 calories), but I did hit my exercise goal (2800 calories). In the end, I didn't lose anything, but I didn't gain anything back either. Still 216.

However, I haven't had the nerve to weigh myself since that big Memorial Day BBQ yesterday. I ate mostly grilled meat and vegies, but the marinades were so salty that I probably gained 3 pounds of water weight. I think I won't depress myself with that knowledge.
 
Don't you just hate that? Sometimes it's all the courage I can muster to step on that thing. And I know there's a post about the Scale Mentality that I revisit every now and then, but still, I can handle 100 teens in a day, but stepping up 1.5 inches scares the crap out of me.

What's worse, though (I learned from Weight Watchers), is thinking that you've done a really perfectly great job and finding out that you mysteriously gained 3 pounds instead of losing. At least it's just me looking and not some smug blonde ***** (not that I hate blondes, but it's easier to imagine them blonde).

Have a great Tuesday!!!
 
Wow! Let's party Veronica!!! Good job on that 7 lbs lost. I partied for you lol I drank some MD 20/20 with some friends today after skipping school for the first time haha!
 
nat!! It's great to see you back!

I'm mostly the same, just jogging (I know about that back thing...I keep trying to blame it on packing and lugging boxes around but I know what it's really from) and trying not to gain weight.

I mean lose weight. whoops!!

Some pants finally got loose! Yay!

I've lost 15 pounds and there has been no noticeable difference in my body. Where the heck did it come from? My brain?

Really, here is my guess. When I'm not losing weight (as in overall), my body compacts itself. Even the fat is less wiggly. As I start to get in weight losing mode, though, I'm super dooper wiggly! I think that's why the weight loss and measurements don't always jive. Does this happen to anyone else.

Because if it does, we need to celebrate our wiggliness!!

:cheers2::hurray::cheers2:

Oh, maybe those beers will make it go away...


lol your brain! Hun it all comes off usually evenly... so you have fifteen pounds coming off broken up on each body part. It will build up... we know you can do it ..keep up the hard and good work!

lol celebrate our wiggliness lol

Hey Everyone!

My date with Sean went really well. We both were a bit nervous at first, but was able to loosen up and got to know tons about him. He asked me to call him later, but I told him to call me. I'm super horrible about calling people. I'm always afraid I'm going to catch them at a bad time. Heck, if he doesn't call me by later tonight, then I am going to just give him a call back.

So, we watched movies, went out to eat at this really nice resturant. When we got there, in my head I was like... He's taking me here to eat? LoL.

I just had a really great time. Oh, I hope this works out between me and him. I mean, from what I got to know of him, I really like. =)

Congrats Veronica!! Don't you love when the date works out ... its always nice ...lol

and he sounds really nice!

good for you

love yas

Hey all :D:D


Oh that comment pink! I heard the same words from my mothers mouth...you used to be sooo cute and now you look so old....nice! She was trying to make me see sense i think and has since admitted that she has been worried sick abt my weight for a while. However, last week she greeted my with "Oh my god you've lost a chin!!" which i think was a compliment - but a very back handed one! Ahhh the mama always speaks her mind!:willy_nilly:

Hope everyone is doing great :D
