I really like you're attitude! You have a fair few obstacles but you're not letting them hold you back :) What you said is soooo true - even people with slow metabolisms will lose weight....think i have used this as an excuse too many times!

Well doneon your progress so far :D Do you get your cast off today? You must be mega excited!

Cast comes off tomorrow at 3:30 pm!!! I am so frigging excited! I started making a workout playlist today haha. It's gonna smell so bad, it got damp a few times when washing LOL!

Thank you for the kind comments everyone!
 
So the boyfriend and I were caught by surprise today when one of our friends who we haven't seen since may gave us a call. He was in the neighborhood today with his wife and we decided to all get together for some food at a new restaurant. Oh I was so bad! I wound up eating too much. I ate like.. 4 pieces of bread XD some soup XD a hand full of fries XD and half of a chicken wrap XD. I'm going to say my meal was roughly 1400 calories.

500 for the wrap (it had bacon ugh!)
300 for the fries
250 for the soup
450 for the bread.
Hopefully I am over-estimating!
1800 calories total for the day. I hope I am over-estimating -_-

I better not weigh myself tomorrow, even if I consume more calories then I burned for the day, I'll still be retaining water, so much salty food!
 
Awwwwww.....I love the puppies. Sooo cute! I've always wanted mini doxies. They are just the cutest things ever!

Oh, and good luck with getting your cast off tomorrow! :)
 
foot is still broken. Cast is off though, I'm in a walking cast (a big fucking boot!) and I'm suppose to not walk much still. So I was planning on starting a walking schedule but that'll have to wait a few more weeks. I'm suppose to get some physical therapy too.

As far as weight goes, I knew I'd weigh myself this morning! ugh 2.4 heavier too. I suck. Hope its mostly water. I had salty foods yesterday, and today I am as well. I had some soup that had 800mg of sodium XD Only 280 calories though, and it was tasty. As far as eating goes, I've only had about 650 calories so far today, so I am behind with eating. For dinner I plan on having... i have no idea actually because I am out of food. I can have pasta but I'm trying to avoid pasta.. I want at least another 500 calories for the day. I'll have a yogurt at least but other then that Im lost

edit: I wound up eating a yogurt and a grilled cheese. Oh I love grilled cheese. I made it with olive oil! It was white bread though >.< however, the sandwich came out to about 325 calories. SO GOOD!

By the way, my foot... feels SOOOOO weird without the cast. When I put the walking boot on it feels more comfortable. I can feel just how weak my foot actually is without it. I'm going to start doing floor exercises. Leg lifts, sit ups... i dont know what else there is to do without putting weight on my foot haha....

I just watched Super Size Me for the first time. I feel disgusted... I can't even imagine how gross my insides are. I've had my fair share of fast food.... Especially when younger, it was that or pizza almost every night, my mom was too lazy to cook.

I don't think I will ever eat fast food again... Wow. Disgusting!

I don't think I've eaten fast food since I watched that movie.
It's pretty powerful, huh?
And the fact he gains THAT much weight and starts to physically vomit after he eats.
The effects on his health are shocking.

I felt the same way after I watched it for the first time, and I swore I would never eat fast food again.... But...
I was still in my active food addiction, and so after a day or two I was like, "Eh, bring on the Big Mac." Maybe I should watch it again for some new motivation... Or maybe I shouldn't watch it because seeing all the food would just make me crave it that much more... :puke:
Either way... It certainly is a powerful film!

It definately is. There's no way you put on 2.4 pounds of fat in one day. For one, you'd have to eat 8400 calories OVER what your body burned by just being alive. Ok, you went over on Wednesday, but I sure hope it wasn't by that much! O_O Water, water, water! Flush the soduim out of your system.

Yeah, your foot/ankle is going to be weak for a little while. Can you do squats? They are good for working your thighs, but don't put any more weight on your foot then standing still does.

You can work on your arms too. Do you have any hand weights? If not, pick up two cans of soup, or two shoes, your two puppies (;) ) and do curls, or lift them above your head. Go straight up from the shoulder though, not over your head. You can hold your arms at your sides and then life them to shoulder height, hold for 5 seconds and lower. Things like that. Heck, even tapping your foot (the none-broken one), "dancing" to music while you sit, etc burns more calories than sitting still.
 
I know this is a bad habit. But I'm getting really frustrated already. I'm up 2 pounds since wednesday. Can anyone look at my food diary and tell me where I'm going wrong?
I'm becoming OCD with weight loss, why am I up 2 pounds?! I am drinking tons of water...

no exercise yet but not my fault. I'm getting really frustrated! No I'm not planning on giving in despite all the temptations from boyfriend. Since I've started this eating better thing I've really noticed how bad he eats and I'm getting worried about him, specially after watching super size me. All his foods are very high in fat, and saturated fat none the less. In fact he plans on eating burger king today. He already ate a whole calzone this week, and a bubba burger and other various bad foods. He is skinny but I'm beginning to think he is skinny fat. He has a belly too, and I know having fat mostly on your abdomen is bad...

cant do squats just yet, I cant do that movement with my foot yet haha. Can't even put all my weight on the foot yet. I have 10 lb weights I think so i'll start doing that!

Don't get frustrated. I know it sucks when the scale goes up, but there are a lot of things that can factor in. Do you weigh at the same time of day wearing the same type of clothing? It's not uncommon for people to fluctuate a few pounds from morning to night just from the food you ate all day. I've gone up a pound in 15 minutes before just because my scale sucks apparently. Or, not to be nosy, but if you are coming up to your TOM you can put on water weight too. Some women can "gain" 10 pounds or so just from that. It's not fat and it goes away.

It's also possible that it's still water weight from last Wednesday. When I have a high sodium day it takes a few days for me to go back down. Wait until Monday or so, eat healthy and drink lot of water, then try again. See if it goes down.

Oh! Just thought of this. Is it possible that the brace weighes more than the cast did? It might, which would also account for a higher number on the scale.
 
Hey mizzie- I weigh myself at the same time, in the same outfit every morning.. (obsess much? haha) and this morning i actually didn't have a cast on, took the boot off. technically i weigh the same as i did on wednesday however I had the cast on wednesday which was about 2 pounds. Ugh! I really hope this is water weight. I haven't been on my thyroid medicine for over a month so I may be retaining some fluids. Glad to say I finally saw my doctor for more medicine and started it today! I'll be feeling normal again in a few weeks. yay!



Soooo I have watched super size me, Food inc., and killer at large: why obesity is americas greatest threat.

I am like... in total disbelief as to why america has become like this... how could the usda and fda let this happen? The food industry seems to control everything. I want to find a farmers market in my area now, I really do.

I ate about 1400 calories today. 250 more then usual! I was able to walk a little more then i have been these past 2 months though, cause I have the walking cast. However, my foot hurts from walking. I tried the physical therapy exercises and I just can't believe how freaking weak my foot is. I can't even wiggle all my toes!!! I hope my foot becomes normal... It's broken in two spots, oh I hope it heals right. I definitely don't want to be limping for the rest of my life.
 
Woohoo I'm down some this morning!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna take the dogs for a SMALL walk today. These foot exercises are soooo freaking hard! I don't have much control over my foot.

I'm excited being back on my thyroid medicine. It would be awesome if I had some extra water weight it got rid of.

Oh. and this morning I weighed in the 220'S!!!!!!! ok ok... 229.5 but still!!!!!!
 
Thanks for the support guys!

I did really well with eating. I've done well for the past 3 weeks about. I'm really proud of myself. Since starting this, I have been able to turn down almost EVERYTHING!!!! Burgerking, mcdonalds, pizza, calzones, boneless wings!!! all my weaknesses. I ate ONE mozzarella stick last night. It was about 104 calories for just 1.. I used to eat 6 of them plus 10 boneless wings!

Other then that, I did some exercises with my foot today, and walked about 4 blocks (against doctors orders... I had to get out!!) and my foot is bothering me a bit.

I'm worried about tomorrow, and what I'll eat. I just have to make sure I drink tons of water before actually putting food in my mouth, that should help with my urge to keep eating amongst family.

And just for kicks and giggles, heres two silly pictures I took of ruby.

Be very sure to do them though! Those therapy exercises are what's going to get your foot back to normal. My great aunt broke her shoulder bone a few years ago. She's in her 80's at a first the doctor couldn't believe how fast she was getting her strength back. He finally realized that she was actually doing her exercises, as opposed to all those people who say they do, but really don't. She was religious about them and was back to normal about twice as fast as most people. And at her age too!

And congrats on being in the 220's!
 
-Mizzie thats awesome about your great aunt. Do you know how many times a day she did the exercises and for how long each session?


So this may be a little obsessive but last night I kept dreaming about calorie consumption, how much to consume, losing weight.... I think I was half awake/asleep though because I remember tossing and turning a lot... hmmm it was weird.

Other news, I'm down another 1.2 pounds so I'm assuming I did have water weight. Yay! I was afraid I'd be in the 230's this morning but now I'm 227.7!!! I need to be very good today. I can't say "well today is special, so I can eat a little extra." NOPE!!!!! I must lose this weight. I need to feel healthy again.

I don't know details, but I do know she followed the doctors orders to the letter. She did them exactly the way he told her to, exactly as often and exactly how long. And it made a world of difference. Her shoulder and arm are perfectly fine, just like it never happened. And it was broken badly, she had to have surgery on it and everything.
 
My foot feels a little stronger today. I can move it around easier.

Yesterday was rough. I didn't over eat, but I didnt eat well, so I probably ate too many calories. Tomorrow is weigh in day. As long as I'm less then last tuesday I'll be happy. I'm pretty sure I will be under 230.8 tomorrow since I was 228.6 this morning. woohoo!! I'm OFFICALLY in the 220's!
 
So I said I would be happy if I stayed under 230.8 today for weigh in, because of the bad eating I partook in on easter sunday. Weeeellllll.....

First weigh in:236.6
Last week: 230.8
Today 227.1! hells yea!!!

I've been doing this since march 23rd and I'm already down 9.5 pounds!!! I can't believe I lost 3.7 pounds this week! Specially since I am hardly active right now. I hope I can keep up the pace.
