DDA's New Year's Weight Loss accountability Thread

[my3princes]

Way to go Glynis. You are so tiny now. I remember when we were posting the same weight, but I gained and you lost so now I weigh 27 lbs more that you. On the bright side, Chris and I re committed to our weight loss goals on Tuesday. I know that I am in ketosis as my breath is horendous, which is what has happened in the past. Hopefully we will be successful again.

You'll all be proud of me today My brother dropped off his kids this morning and with the kids were a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. We don't even have a place that sells them around here. Apparently they magically appeared on the hood of his truck this morning. Come to find out his wife had mentioned to a friend that was going to Massachusetts yesterday that she would love some and they were dropped off mysteriously. I have not had a single bite, not even a lick off my fingers while serving the kids. For me that is a huge acheivement. Of course there were only glazed and chocolate frosted which aren't my favorites anyway, but still, I won that battle.

Oh Deb.......Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the debil . You deserve for passing those up. Great job.

Glynis........I agree you are tiny now. That must feel so great. I can't remember what 127 pounds feels like.

I am telling myself today to just keep swimming......like always.

I know that 127 sounds tiny, but I have to admit that I still see the "fat girl" when I look at myself. I don't know how long it will be until my subconcious mind accepts how I am now. It's kind of frustrating, to be honest. Then, too, I still have my "mom" pouch and that's frustrating, too. I'll just keep working on it!

Congrats to all of you who have successfully been losing weight and too those of you who are working on it good luck. Any small thing is an improvement and you should celebrate these small things, but without food.

I'm down 35 pounds since the 1st of January. I just hope I don't gain it all back at WDW.

Glynis-127 pounds I think I weighed that much in 6th grade. I don't think I will ever weigh that much again either as I would be underweight for my height. As for the still feeling like a fat person, some people never lose that sensation, because it has been ingrained in their heads for so long. I do hope it goes away quickly for you.

and to all

Well, hello, all. It's been a while since I've posted, but I haven't really had anything to report. However, I do today! I've been camping since Saturday morning, and when I got on the scale today I found that I've dropped 2 pounds. I'm down to 127!!!!!!! I figured that I was done, but it looks like I can still lose a couple of pounds here and there! It makes me want to kick it into high gear again to get rid of the final 7 pounds.

Wish me luck!!!!!

Holy cow!!! That's great! I wouldn't mind weighing 127!!!

That IS huge!

You all are doing so well!!! I wish I could say the same! I have teetered around the same weight for a few weeks, but I'm not sure how much that means -- since I only weigh myself at the gym, and I rarely go I just don't have any motivation, no time, etc. And I always HATED the "no time excuse"!!!!

I workout on my days off, but that's about it -- which drives me nuts! But I literally am not home from before 6am until after 10pm most days that I work. It's rediculous! So I should try and make the most of my exercise time when I am home, but I just try and get caught up on everything else, and end up squeezing something small in. I'm really starting to be concerned about the marathon, because my schedule is not going to improve before then! I'm also not eating very well at ALL. I'm not eating much, but it's nothing substantial either! I am lucky if I have time for a sandwich while I'm working, so most days it's just a little applesauce, etc and then a big bowl of ice cream or something when I get home, because nothing else sounds good.

Keep up the good work! You're keeping me at least focused, even if nothing comes of it!

That's what I'm afraid of: I've told myself I'm fat for so long, it's going to be hard to be skinny. It's funny, though, when I see my face in a mirror, I can really tell a difference. It's just the full length mirror that is not my friend!

Don't stress, Jennifer. We all know that being stressed can lead to bad eating. Right now, you are doing what you can, and that's all you can do!

We're here for you! Wish I lived closer so that I could bring you soup or something at work. Oh well.

Don't worry about the marathon, I'm sure you're in better shape than you think you are.

 

[tink2020]

Don't worry about the marathon, I'm sure you're in better shape than you think you are.

UGH! I wish you were right. We had an extremetly disheartening workout today. I didn't do much last week, so I didn't advance in the training program just kind of went back a week to ease back into it. So I literally just did a 2.5 mile run, which felt fine last time indoors. But I SERIOUSLY can't run outside I have to use my inhaler prior to even walking outside, but I didn't anticipate running being that much worse. The last few times we ran outside it was VERY humid, so I chalked my breathing trouble up to that. But today was gorgeous, and I was literally wheezing and gasping so bad I had to stop on the side of the road for a second, and then walk for a bit before running the rest of the way home.

I was sort of encouraged that maybe this would pass with better shape, but it isn't going to. It's very much an upper airway thing, which has nothing to do with me being fat and working my body harder than I used to. So I was practically sobbing to Kyle when we got home (which, consequently, made the breathing worse ) because I REALLY feel like I'm not going to be able to do this. Florida is less humid, and January is obviously a better time of year for asthmatics than the heat of the summer....... but I just HATE feeling like I can't get any air. It's the worst feeling ever, so I always end up remembering how much I hate running, and wondering why I chose to do this.

I am going to make a doctor's appointment though, which is probably good for me even if I weren't training for this event. Obviously my asthma is not controlled as well as it should be. I'm not really sure what else I can be put on, but we'll see what she has to say.

Thanks for letting me come here and vent all the time! You ladies are fantastic

And that is what we are here for. You have helped us up and we will do the same thing for you, Jennifer. Go talk to your doctor and then do what is best for you. No one could expect anything more from you.

 

[Disneygrl36]

Glynis.........I hope your brain catches up with your body. That is a tough one I think especially after we have been overweight for awhile.

Jenn........I hope your asthma gets better. Don't give up. It was actually pretty chilly this past year in January at WDW when my hubby ran the 1/2 if that helps you feel better about the conditions for you.

Becky........you are doing great too...have fun at the World & enjoy yourself. You can't gain back 35 lbs in one vacation plus you know you will be walking tons.

Well, I am not sure where my willpower has gone this week, but I haven't had a good week.......topped off today by the fact that I made afternoon tea for my in-laws for their anniversary. It was yummy & I didn't eat hardly anything else all day, but I have used tons of flex points this week. I am sure my weigh-in this week won't be a good one, but I guess I will face it like a big girl & move on. Back on track tomorrow........right??????

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming Yikes my cruise is less than 4 months away now & I still want to be able to buy a dress to knock my hubby's socks off (see my goal on the progress thread).

 

[my3princes]

Hang in there Jennifer seeing a doctor seems like a good idea.

For those having trouble, take it one day at a time and keep your goals in mind. I made Chris take picutures of me before this diet, that will be motivation enough to keep on track I am pleased to say that I have lost 5 lbs since tuesday. I know that a lot of it is water weight, but I'm still psyched. I did not cheat at the reunion yesterday or at the party today. I am on track.

I'm so sorry that you are having such a hard time! Does your breathing stay this bad if you are just walking? That might be an idea.

Hopefully the doctor can give you some ideas on how to handle your asthma for the marathon! Just don't give up!
