wicked witch - no magic, just hard work!

My sunday weigh in wasn't that amazing either... well it will only get better!

AND you didn't ruin i all, the muscle you build up, the strength etc... that doesn't go away because you ate too much spaghetti one day!!! I ate a lot of chocolate mousse... that is worse ;)!!!

However, just think how far you have come (I know our losses are not as impressive as some out there but they do feel impressive to us!) and how "not all that impossible" that was! So just go on thinking how not all that impossible it will be from nwo on.
Also, where are you from? I have been wondering for weeks now!
Have a good week, Camy
 
Every road has its bumps! You've lost over 17 lbs. That is not easy to do, but you've done it. So you had some pasta and sweets. You're still miles ahead of where you were, right? Don't overcompensate. Just get back on track and continue the way you were and you'll be just fine.

Camy, you are just amazing, I think you have a gift for supporting people! You always know how to cheer me up - THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
As to where I come from, hahaha I've always got a problem with that question ;) My father was German and my mother is Pole - I was born in Poland but I've been living and working in the Netherlands for 2 years now, and it's highly possible that i'll be moving to Sweden in November. So i'm sort of a EU citizen :D

Fish -I really admire your attitude ! You always see the big picture!
You are right, I'm down 17lbs !!! I was so focused on 120 that I completely forgot that!

I think that is the reason I failed before - I've been so caught up with doing things 100% correct that after first cheat day I just gave up!

Thanks so much for Your support - It means the world to me !

I am placement complicated as well: my parents are from argentina, I lived 10 years in germany, 7 years in spain and 6 years in london... so I am... complicated! I am moving to some part of the african continent, to make matters worse ;)!
When asked I say I am argentinian, because that is where I feel from (heritage-wise) but I have dual citizenship (germany/argentina), and people don;t always grasp that I "am" argentinian but never lived there for more than 3 months!

Have a great day, Camy
 
Hi Alex!! Congrats on the weight loss :party: Glad to hear that you are doing so well and with your routine, I am sure you will see the results you want!! I loooved that saying ...Inside every fat woman there is a slim woman and chocolate :rotflmao: :smilielol5: tooooooo funny and tooo true in my case :p
I'll be coming in regularly to check on ya ;) Keep up the good work :hurray:

OH and BTW I think "thedarwinfish" is such a cool name :coolgleamA:
 
Wednesday, weigh-in day ...
I stalled a little, but finally gathered my 'courage' and steped on scale

138.8 lbs :(

+0.4lb - not so bad, I honestly thought that it would be much worse ...

Thanks for stopping by Pink :D

Well that is exactly my problem I grew up in Poland but during really hard times... Martial low - rings a bell? Probably not, It's not like if I knew a lot about history of Argentina ;)
In short my parents were too afraid to teach me to speek german because that could get my family into trouble with police, i had really hard time in school because of my surname etc etc...
It's really sad storry and I don't want You to be bored with it...
Don;t get me wrong, though... Now Poland is like completely different country - lots of perspectives and so on... My mother always says that she should wait 6-7 years to have me and my sister b/c life would be easier for us then... She is probably right, but we managed, You know ;) I LOOOOOVE MY WORK and living here in Holland is great! :)

AND BTW, AFIRCA ?? - WOW !!!!!!!! :D

PS
I can't belive that i've written all that! Sorry if it's TMI
 
Hey Alex :)

Keeeeeeeep on going with your journey, YOU HAVE DONE SO WELL!!!!

Your posts reflect a real desire and dedication so just remember to do justice to YOURSELF!!! You deserve all the things you want from weightloss:)

Hope you are having a lovely week and looking forward to the weekend:)

Lots of skinny wishes

This weekend wasn't so good, I ate 2 cookies on Saturday and another 2 on Sunday But I also managed to do my 3 miles and B-training, so hopefully, that won't cause much damage

Hey Wicked, you cant keep kicking yourself it doesnt help. Having some sweets is okay! It really is, as long as you do two thing with it. Count the calories and dont over eat them. Example, I have a big wonderful tub of Chocolate Peanut butter Ice Cream sitting in my freezer right now. Fat me would go in and make a 32 oz milk shake with it. Thin me goes in and takes 2 bites and puts it away. No guilt but I still get to enjoy the taste. If you condemn yourself you are doomed to fail. Not allowing yourself a treat or a cheat day is another way you will make yourself fail too. Just eat very little of it and not as often. You can do this!
 
You're doing great! Don't get down, you've made a lot of progress!

P.S. I say I'm Irish American, and I've never set foot on Irish soil, LMAO!
 
Hi Alex :D I know you avoid the computer like the bitter plague of the west on weekends but I just wanted to pop in to say hello and wish you a marvelous weekend and a happy Monday :D
 
Hi Alex!!!

I was thinking about you and wanted to check in to see how the weight training was going...I hope that everything is going well for you :)

Take care - Ali
