Another 2 lbs. gone!!!

:waving:Hey everybody - hope you are all well.
I was honestly a little afraid of weighing in this morning - I didn't have a great weekend. Food was OK, actually I came in a little bit under my calories Friday - Sunday, but I got zero exercise. I wasn't sick or anything I just felt like crap and didn't do much of anything all weekend. Needless to say I was VERY surprised when I was down another 2 lbs. I really feel like I got a gift on that one - I need to get my butt back in gear and take advantage of it!!!!
Don't know why but right now food is not the problem, I just have no energy. Probably just lazy - ha. Maybe I need to do something different for a while to get my butt moving again!

Hope everyone has a great week!

:confused: I hope everyone has had a good week. At the risk of being a total downer I have to say I HAVEN'T. You know those days or weeks when everything just seems to roll downhill, yeah - this has been one of those weeks. Nothing really to do with diet and exercise, just personal stuff. Things breaking down, family acting psycho, more money going out than coming in - yeah crap happens - just not so fun when it all happens at the same time. OK I'm finished whining now:nopity:. On a positive note, one of the things that when kaputz this week was our A/C so my house has been hotter than Hades and I've no appetite and I've drank a buttload of water (and if we are using my butt as comparison, that's a lot).
Anyway hope everyone has a great weekend!!

3 more gone!!!

:hurray:
3 more pounds gone!!!!!!

I was so happy to see another loss. It seems like everything around me lately has dissolved into chaos, so I have not been planning things like I was when I first started. I'm still just sticking to avoiding sweets and exercising and it's still working. My exercise now is actually what is maintaining any sanity I have left - not that I had a lot to begin with. Really though I can't wait every day to get my walking shoes on and get out and walk - I have found it to be a wonderful time to clear my mind and refocus, meditate, whatever you want to call it.

Hope everyone has a good rest of the week!

Congrats on your 3lbs:hurray: I used to hate exercise, but I'm almost kinda liking it now... I think it's helping with my stress a little. I've found that I actually like doing it at the end of day to unwind......its weird..because I never would of thought I would actually look forward to it...lol!
 
No weight loss to report this week - I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed - but I knew it was coming. I'm going to use it as a little prod to add another daily goal - counting calories/food diary. I've been estimating calories but I haven't been keeping my food diary and I know from past experience it really does help me stay on track. On a positive note my husband is actually showing an interest in joining me on my evening walks. I have been asking if he wants to come along but when he says no, I haven't said anything else, no nagging or whining! Now he says that he wants to come along - sometimes. For him to even show an interest at all is amazing - he has never had any interest in my many diet/health/fitness adventures in the entire 15 years that we have been married. I'm trying not to act too excited (I don't want to scare him off) but it would make it easier to have his support!

Hi Sallybean

From my experience calorie counting and keeping a food diary is the only way I can stay focused enough to lose weight, I bet you will find it really helps!

I see you have lost quite a few pounds over the past few weeks so don't get too disheartened with one static week. I'm sure you are doing really well!

Good News - I've lost another 2 pounds!!!!

Bad News - I'm going to be out of touch for quite a while - way out of touch.
I hope to eventually be able to come back here to the forum but it will be a while. It has really helped - thanks to everyone who has been an encouragement to me.

Thanks and good luck to everyone!
