Silke's Diary: from 6WBMO to Eating For Life

I'm really frustrated. That stupid pound is still hanging on. Part of me is wondering if I'm not eating enough as weird as that may sound, but my net calories are under 1200 on most days because of my exercise.

I also came down with a cold. I was miserable all day yesterday and now I have the conjestion today.

Lastly, my cat, Cookie, peed on the carpet next to the dinner table a couple of days ago and I just caught her doing it again and I don't know why. I wonder if the automatic litter box is scaring her all of a sudden. This is really bad because we can only have carpet in my condo and if she's going to keep peeing there it's going to really stink despite what I put on it to clean it up.
 
Let's see... TOM ended on the weekend. Pigged out on my Free Day and had about 3000 calories, but as of today am back to 131 again and still waiting for that last pound to come off to reach my goal.

I've had a lot of headaches over the past few days and I'm hoping it's only because I'm sick. Yesterday was so bad I thought I was going to vomit.

I'm switching my Free Day to Friday this week since I have lunch plans and I hope I can make it to 130 before Friday.

maybe you need to slowly boost your cals up towards a higher level again hun to fight that plateau. also means your maintenance will be higher so you can eat more and stay the same weight :D
make sure youre getting enough vits in your diet.

glad to hear youre maintaining
have you been to see the doctor? headaches may not always be serious but you may want to get it checked out just incase.

Hi Sophie! Thanks for popping in! I did manage to lose a half pound, so I'm back to being a 1/2 pound away from my goal. I'm so close that I think I will reach it tomorrow. After I worked out this morning, I was 130, but I know it's because I lost some water working out. My bf's scale says I'm 128. It could be right, but I have no idea. Those digital scales are not all that reliable. You can step on them 15 seconds later and be a pound heavier.

But.... I did put on some size 4 jeans from Old Navy today and they are not even fitting like sausage casings - there is room! It's a beautiful thing. They are too long for me normally, so I have on my high heeled boots today and my legs look a million miles long (amazing since I'm only 5'3"). :p

It's nice when people pop in and give support. Thanks a bunch!
 
Yay! I did it! I'm 130 today! Just in time for my Free Day tomorrow. Anything I lose from here will just be a bonus! I'm thrilled!
 
I had my Free Day on Friday and had almost 3000 calories, but still managed to be at goal again today. I may try and lose a couple of more pounds just for some "room." Feels good to have made it here!
 
Still doing well! Down to 129 today. I was there last Saturday, but my Free Day changed that until today.

I'm having a horrible acne problem now. Can't enjoy the weight loss with a pizza face. I'm can't believe I'm going to be 38 and this is happening to me now. Grrr!:mad:
 
congrats for breaking 130 - that's exciting :)

i find it funny - I never had a problem with acne as a teenager - i get more zits now that i'm in my 40s than I ever did.. :D
 
I'm down to 125.5 today. My skin is doing a bit better. I switched my BCP to Yasmin, am taking Zinc, using Tretonin every other night and a device called a Derma Wand.

So, I'm wondering when to stop losing weight. How do you know? I don't want to end up looking like a spoon.
 
Down to 122 today. Size 4's are getting big on me. I swear I'm not eating unhealthy or purging or anything. I'm following Eating For Life still and exercising. I still pig out on my Free Day once per week. I think my metabolism has finally kicked up.
 
please make sure you're not loosing too much... we want you healthy :D

as long as youo're feeling good though -that's awesome -my big toe wouldn't fit into a size 4 - so that's cool for you :D
 
I was actually down to 120 on Sunday morning and I do look healthy - not too skinny. I had my Free Day and gained 5.5 lbs overnight. That is abnormal in my experience. I usually don't gain more than 3 lbs after a Free Day. It's 3 days later and all but a 1/2 lb are still hanging on to me, so I'm still 125. I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I'm so bummed out. I'm not PMSing and I went right back on plan the next day. I'm totally holding onto the water even though I've been drinking lots of water and staying away from salt.
 
It's been a couple months since I posted last. I'm still maintaining my weight. I fluctuate a few pounds, but am keeping it between 123-127.
