179 even. I am at a plateau… I am just so badly wanting to be at 177 or lower… anyway. I will be talking to my dietician today for any advice I can use. I walk a lot so I think my body is getting used to the cardio and I need to up my protein intake. Hopefully this passes. I am gonna keep pushing
I’m up to 172 this week. All my muscles are sore from work and riding a bike to work. Im pleased just being in the lower 170’s.
My belt is loose this week so I think all the work and biking is turning some of my excess fat into muscle. That part is cool.
Weighing in at 201.8 lbs.
Monday weigh in
I literally haven’t lost a thing since last week lol I will honestly take it bcuz the last 2 days of eating were horrendous so im actually happy I haven’t gained lol I really need to realize that I kind of undue all my hard work when I eat sooo poorly… big potions, sweets, sodas lol I probably would’ve lost weight if I had stayed on point. Honestly tho I’m happy. Did my workout and gonna really stay focused on healthy eating!
I am 50 pounds lighter!!! I am so proud of myself . I feel awesome (physically and mentally) I love how I feel and I am so much more confident . I love who I am. We can do thissss!!!
Great job Flannery!
So many wonderful accomplishment in your 2 and a half years. So happy for you.
Awesome job flannery!!!
Hello hello hello hello! I have for the most part avoided this thread but am now nervously and hesitantly here to join you.
I have always struggled with disordered eating and a hyper focus on trying to have an “athlete’s body” but since covid, an injury, and over eating in sobriety I have gained a lot of weight. Trying to address my relationship with food over the past year I have had to just let it be and avoided the scale.
My pre op physical in June before meniscus surgery I was shocked to see I had jumped up to 208 lbs. Early September my therapist that I’ve been working on my eating disorder with gave me the clear to try to start losing weight again but I have to be really careful to not slip back into old disordered habits.
I only do weigh ins once a week on Thursdays. Last week was down to 201 lbs! Trying to not get too excited or obsessive but letting myself have this small victory.
Thank you Eric! I am happy someone has noticed. Thanks for being apart of my journey
Thank you Shaunda
Quit drinking 78 days ago. Also started eating healthier. I didn’t weigh in til a month in, and was down to 180 from 195! I had started to work out so I was thrilled it seemed to be paying off! Then every week since has been the same, lowest I got down to was 177, now back up to 180 and I’m thinking I have plateued. The weight I lost was probably all just alcohol chub, so I don’t think working out is making me lose more. Which means I need to really take the healthy eating more serious, or need to run to sweat harder. LoL I went for a mile jog to sweat, and gave myself shin splints
Slowing my role, because losing weight wasn’t the goal just a healthy side effect, happy to be healthier than I was drinking!!!
Checking in 175.6 !
I am happy. I can’t wait till I reach my goal. I am 10 pounds away from my original goal (165) but I want to reassess it when I hit it . I gotta keep moving and keep working out ! I’ll talk to you later, let’s do it! Let’s keep up the good work
200.2 lbs.
So close to being under 200.
I want to get back to 195/96/97
Need the wiggle room to stay under 200.
You got this Eric!! you are doing great! I know that it is hard when you are not at your goal. I hope you get there! I know you will!
Monday weigh in:
Down 5.4lb since last week! Some of this again is probably water weight but definitly some isnt. I have busted my butt this past week on 5 days of challenging exercise as well as making sure I follow my eating plan every single day. Ive even had a cheat snack that my hubby bought me. He bought me a Klondike Icecream cookie sandwich (normally a whopping 400 calories a sandwich). Instead of eating the entire thing for a snack, I cut it in 1/2. Had 1/2 on Saturday night and 1/2 on Sunday night. I wouldve never done this before. Ive been eating mindfully and I just really watch HOW MUCH I eat and plan my meals in the morning. That way I know how much of something I can eat to fit into my calorie goals for the day. Happy with my progress so far! Im really hoping that my change of thinking towards food stays on track. Its been hard this past week but very rewarding. And the rewards are not even all to do with the number on the scale
200.lbs On The Nosy!!
Now to work on the wiggle room.
195/96/97. I find it a good way to maintain.
173 today. I am loving this ! 8 pounds until my first goal but once I hit that goal I am going to reassess it and try to go down some more. I am worthy and loved. Have a great healthy day you guys
200.6 lbs.
I really thought I’d be in the upper 190’s today. Oh well. Seems like that’s always the way. Sometimes when I think I’m up and over I’m surprised when it’s under. I know I’m good enough. So I’ll take it.
Back here in this thread after a 5 month break. I started my weight loss journey with my sober journey last Jan. I did so well for 3 months but then work got extremy busy in a great way but my diet and exercise went out the window. I have ate all the bad stuff just to get me through. I figured sobriety took priority over anything else.
Anyway, things have started to settle again so sober, work good and calmer , now ive no excuses not to look at diet and exercise.
Started with workout today and healthy food shop arriving later. Dreading getting on the scales but it has to be done x
- Lbs
Can’t seem to get under. But that’s ok. It’s all good.
