BIG goal: 127#, 20 BMI, 30 % body fat, 50% body water, 26" waist


A bit of back tracking from last week to this week.  Last week was a nice drop though.  I've been eating a lot more crap and exercising a bit less.  It's not a surprise.  I'm getting better these last couple of days, but I did just buy some Cheetoes to go with my wine--so maybe not!     I'm pretty happy with how far I've come already.  Maybe once I get my smaller clothes out of storage, I'll have more incentive to keep working on losing weight.  I did also buy more veggies--so that's something!

0.2lbs isn't even backtracking, it's just normal fluctuations. My normal can fluctuate up to 2 lbs depending on salt or my period or whatever!

It's on the internet, so you know it's true. 

[sarcasticgirl]

So, I stepped on the scale today and nothing has really changed... but my clothes are fitting a little better.
DH and I broke down and bought a new bed last week. This week is my first week in quite a while to not be in constant annoying pain. I haven't been able to do any upper body stuff because of the pain in my shoulders neck and rotator cuff.
I have been keeping up with yoga and stretching and tonight I am going to add in some light resistance bands instead of hand weights and see how that goes.

16 days until I am euros bound and I am not where I wanted to be weight wise, but my clothes fit okay so I am happy enough.

Dug out all my totes with clothes in them out of the basement yesterday. (15, along with a couple with kids' clothes)  That was the day's workout because most of them were kinda heavy, and I was walking up and down the stairs.  (Im also trying to purge and organize the basement.)  I switched out one tote with jeans in them--found several that fit well, and keeping a few others that fit okay around.  It's amazing how much better clothes that actually fit look and feel to wear.   I can't believe I have nearly an entire big tote filled with size 14  jeans now.  I wore the same 2 or 3 pairs nearly every day.  There's a couple with tags still.  It had everything to do I with fit, but it sickens me to have wasted money on things I never wore.  Do people recycle jeans?  There's a few with holes, but seems a shame to throw them away if they're recyclable somehow.  Not sure where to start with the rest of this.  Maybe I should have posted this in the declutter thread.  I will say one thing, in the past trying on a bunch of clothes like this to see if they fit would have left me tired and sore the next day.  I was just a little tired (more hot) after the big haul up the stairs.  Not sore at all otherwise--well, other than my bad shoulder, which is a given.  Hooray for being in shape!

[yogiii]

That's awesome!  DH just bought all new pants this week and I put all his old stuff in bins, though I'd like to just send it all to goodwill. We took a "vacation" this week from work and we were able to do about 1,000 things around the house we normally can't do with 2 kids hanging around.  Cleaned and organized just about everything plus did a ton of yardwork. We took the week off of exercising and went out to lunch a couple times. We immediately both went straight up to the top of our "don't go above this weight" range. That's what vacation is for though right?

[Lizard Queen]

Thanks. Yeah, I'd like to just get rid of all of these too big clothes now, but I'm a bit paranoid or probably more superstitious.

[ners]

Just a quick check in.  

Had over 80000 steps.   

Eating habits not good..

Goal for week is 77000.

Have a great week everyone.

Bought the JM Ripped in 30 DVD. For anyone who likes the style of 30 Day Shred this is very similar, but I think more challenging. Really liking it so far and have only tried 2 of the 4 routines.

[Jaguar]

I have a small list of JM DVDs that I want from Amazon. I plan to get them next year.

[sarcasticgirl]

Accidentally bought a new fitbit. I meant to put it on my amazon wishlist but bought it with 1 click instead.

So now that I have a new one that should be more accurate and doesn't ditch 1/3 of my steps I will get back to getting my 10k steps a day.

It's fiscal year end here and it's kicking my butt. My goals for this week are to keep getting steps and drink more water. I wouldn't have hit the goal last night but I had to drop something off to my aunt and metro decided to close the station nearest her hotel. So I got a nice walk through DC. I must say the White House looks nice at night all lit up. Of course this wrecked my dinner plans so maybe it was a wash.

[Pants]

I'm still not back to working out and eating is sporadic. It's not healthy but it's what I'm able to do right now so I'm rolling with it. 

Today I hit a huge milestone - As of weighing in this morning, I'm no longer obese. Just really overweight.  

I'll take it.

I really don't know how I've improved so much this week.  I've been seriously slacking on working out and my diet.  Plus, my shoulder is hurting me a lot again, and I woke up with my neck out of wack on Sunday.  I think I'm still slightly out of alignment from that now.  My shoulder is finally feeling better today without ibuprofen, so I'll try to exercise again this afternoon.

[ners]

Update  I hit the 90000 step mark for the week.  I am going to keep my goal at 90000.  Need to work on increasing water intake and watch snacking. 



Have a great week everyone.

Hi Guys,

I don't post here very often but saw this thread and hope some of you long-time weight "losers"  will comment on my thread in YM about losing weight and keeping it off.

Thanks for your comments!

I canceled my gym membership last night, I start radiation probably at the end of the week.  I do radiation for 5 weeks, then 4 weeks later I have surgery to remove the rest of the cancer, my shoulder muscle and my 3 ribs. I'm going to try and keep doing yoga until my surgery.  I almost cried last night filling out the cancellation papers.

Good luck jeep. Crying is cathartic; it is good for the mind and good for the soul. I will keep you in my prayers.

[andi9899]

I missed zumba last week because I was so busy. I will never take another week off again. I could hardly keep up. I thought I was going to pass out.

[sarcasticgirl]

Best of luck with your surgery, Jeep!


I am abroad in England at the moment. 5 days in and I have been eating whatever I want... but we have only averaged 2 meals a day because we have been so busy. I must say, I am craving a salad... a big pile of veg sounds good. We will head to Paris this weekend and I think we will grab some salads for a nice picnic on our first day.

Weekly check in

Was just a bit over 88000 for steps.  I am setting this week's goal at 85000.  Need to work on eating healthy.

Have a great week everyone.
