rachiegrl6's Journey to an Old/New Me!

[rachiegrl6]

Hey Everyone! Just stopping by this afternoon to report a grilled chix salad for lunch with diet decafinated iced tea and an Atkins bar for a snack. I did 15 minutes on the stair climber and some arm exercises for a total of a 30 min workout. I've only just begun working out so I want to take it slow and get used to it! But hey every little bit counts.

I'm doing laundry now and I'm gonna get my calc homework done while I wait for the clothes to dry. BTW my jeans fit pretty loose today

I have a game to cheer for tonight so there's exercise there also. I haven't decided what's for dinner but I have a while before then anyways. Hope everyone is having a good day and that their weight loss is coming easy!

Best Wishes,
Rachel

Good Morning all you WISHers! Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday, snow and all! Well just a quick note and then I'm off to class this morning!

I weighed in at 159.0 this morning. Another half pound lost and gone forever. It's hard when the weight starts coming off slowly, but at least I know that it will stay off and that its coming off for good!

Well everyone have a fantastic day and I'll be back later to read journals! I actually think a nap is in order for today! That exercise yesterday really got to me!

Best Wishes,
Rachel

Ok, so I know its not good to weigh yourself everyday because of daily weight fluctuations, but I do and it always irks me to see the scale go up. I mean if it at least stayed the same then it wouldn't be so bad. Today, I had gone up a 1/2 a lb. I know that's not bad and that it could have been worse. But I only added one slice of wheat bread yesterday and it didn't get me anywhere but up a 1/2 lb. I just hope tomorrow brings me right back down to 158.5. I need to be at 158.0 for Feb 1st. That was my month goal and I intend to make it. I suppose I should be glad that I am not above the 150s but its still so hard.

Ok guys. My moping around yesterday didn't do me any good but the low-carb salad and the pilates exercises did! Today the weight was down 2 lbs to 157! So I did allow myself a half a sandwich with one piece of whole wheat bread. So hopefully not a bad outcome tomorrow morning. Hehe!

Well hey I'm down a total of 14 lbs since the beginning. I'm beginning to feel that I can do this. I'm almost a fourth of the way there so I'm excited!

Can't wait for Disney Fun in the Sun!

Talk to you all later!
Rachel

GREAT JOB!!!! You are amazing!!! Keep it up!

 

[swilphil]

Wow, Rachel, you are doing a great job with the weight loss. I also am tempted to weigh myself every day, but have forced myself to limit it to 2 or 3 times a week.

Keep up the good work!

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Wow, you are doing great with your weight loss. Congrats on your new clippie. It looks great! Have a great day!

Hey everyone! I've been kind of glum the last few days. I had a major cheat night on saturday night and I am at 158 now. Of course that means I made my Feb 1 goal of 158 but its kind of depressing. I'm just working really hard to get back down to 155. Hope everyone is having a great week.
Rachel

 

[sarahsmom73]

Oh Rachel! you are doing so great!!! I wish I was where you are! Come on ! Youc an do this!

 

[rachiegrl6]

OMG! What am I doing so wrong. I've stayed on plan all week from my Saturday night cheat and I'm up to 158.5. I am just so frustrated and angry. I mean I cheer every night so that's a workout and I've started going to the gym but grrr I don't know what to do...Help!

Rachel

 

[sarahsmom73]

Don't freak!!! It happens to the best of us!! Maybe you are gaining muscle! In the long run it will burn more fat!!!You are doing great and will continue to do so!!!

 

[rachiegrl6]

Thanks sarahsmom, you really help me stay grounded.

Anyways, I've been at 158 for like the past 4 days and I don't know what to do to jump start my weight loss again. It's like it just stopped. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Rachel

 

[rachiegrl6]

well, I totally blew it over the past two days, I just ate whatever and I weighed myself this mroning and it was 164! I just feel so stupid. that's a six pound gain and I just want to go jump off a cliff. it makes me so angry
i was getting so close, i was 158 and my goal for the end of february was 148 and i just want to still get there
if i go back on low-carb real well for the rest of the month do you think i can do it
please help, please

 

[sarahsmom73]

Rachel!

you have been doing such a great job! Don't beat yourself up! OK... You hit a stumbling block.. Today is a new day! It is Feb 6th... Let's look at a 1lb a week loss to be conservative... That will put you back in the 150's by the end of the month and that is conservative... If you feel the urge to snack jump on line and journall... Up your water and add 5 minutes more to your exercize.. That extra 5 minutes is 5 minutes you won't snack and 5 minutes more per day is more minutes per month... Let's get that metabolism moving girl!!! I'm right behing ya pushing you all the way!!!

 

[sarahsmom73]

I am still here!!! Where are you! Hope you have a good day!!!
