I woke up today at my lowest weight in like 10 years!! I am so close to my first major goal. Also my measurements were great, and now I just need to keep focusing on my thighs/calves because that still has much room for improvement! Chat Icon



Congrats!!Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge

I decided not to step on the scale this morning. I dont think I did that bad this week, but I am not feeling very confident about results. I didnt want to be dissapoointed and possibly slip as a result so I am taking a pass this week. Looking forward to WI next week! Hope everyone has a great weekend and great week ahead!

No yesterday was really bad eating but I worked out so
Late that by the time I got home I wasn't hungry and just wanted to shower and go to bed. I was too lazy to make a shake so I forced myself to eat a Kind bar. However, this morning I was hungry so I made up for it. I had two plates of lunch at work.Chat Icon

Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge

Happy Sunday!

Like I said, I'm not tracking this weekend. Just wanted to say I can't believe how much LESS I can eat! I had a slice of pizza and was full forever. It would normally take 2 and a few garlic knots and I'd be looking for a snack in an hr.

Then we went for a late night snack and drinks at hard rock and I could only fit 2 chicken tenders and a small amount of nachos down. And was FULL. Like I can't breathe full.

Pretty proud of that lol. My DH used to tel me to slow down. Last night he was like you're done??? Shocked.

Feeling good. Wound up walking 5 miles yesterday. Unintentionally.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Tomorrow starts the new week!

Don't get discouraged !
Weight fluctuates. 2 lbs isn't that much. Could be too much salt or AF on the way. Stay aware of your meals this week and drink tons of water.

You got this !

Thanks! I am still not down all the way but I keep going at it. I noticed the last two days, I have been filling up on so many vegetables... cabbage, cucumbers, peppers, bok choy, broccoli, green beans, regular beans... that I haven't even been very hungry. Actually not hungry. My mind was telling me to eat but my body didn't want food. I had a yogurt for breakfast, a huge cabbage salad for lunch and now i have vegetable stirfry waiting for me for dinner but i cant even eat it. I feel full. It's so strange because I didn't have any snacks or anything besides some cheese with the cabbage salad. I guess my belly really is shrinking it can't handle as much food anymore. The other day I ate a brownie sundae (shared the dessert with dh) BUT I felt sick the rest of the night from it!

It's never too late to start!

I'm only tracking to keep myself within the calories MFP gave me for losing. I was never a tracker before. Now I know why I would never lose more than 3 lbs !

If you're not ready to go all out - then don't force it now. But you can start by making healthier choices.

What I did before starting this diet
- healthier choices
- less carbs, more veggies
- didn't eat past 8pm
- drank more water

Then I got serious and starting tracking. After 2 weeks of that, I started walking on the treadmill at the gym. Next week I'm adding weights in the mix.

1 step at a time.
