Ava's Attempt

Tut tut! I've cheated....but I knew in my head that I SHOULD cheat because when I got on the scale it read 132. I re-weighed about 50 times. Now I realize that it is not possible to lose 5.5 lbs in two days...I'm no idiot. But it felt SO good seeing that. You have no idea. I truly believe that my scale has malicious intentions towards me, and wants me to feel like I can slip up now...only to spring back up 10 pounds the next time I weigh in. The darn thing is out to get me.

But for today...I weigh 132!!! (I don't care if it's a lie!!! I like this lie!!! Even if it's just for today!!!!)

Oops. :eek:.

I gave in and moved my ticker down to 132...I know that it will go up by next weigh-in, especially if it is just water weight...but I can feel good for now at least. :).

Edit: I just tried on a pair of size 4's...and they FIT. Regardless...they aren't jeans, they are a gray loose material and from Rampage and I think made a little bigger than the average size four...but...I don't care! I put them on thinking they were size 8 pants...but then looked...and almost had a heart attack! Wow. I always thought these would be too tight for me to ever wear again. And my normal jeans are way too loose. I am loving today.

Edit: Edit: It gets better..132 is no longer considered "overweight" for me! It's on the high side but I'm getting there!

Food has been good today so far.

Breakfast was a bowl of Cheerios...I had about 2 servings...but oh well. It was about 334 Calories with the milk. That wasn't so great...but it could have been 300 Calories of something way worse.

Lunch was SO good. I made up some egg beaters, threw a bit of ham in there, warmed up a wheat tortilla...and voila. Put it all together and it was a nice wrap. 271 Calories.

So I'm at about 605 Calories so far today.

I already have dinner planned...it will be a Lean Cuisine Rigatoni dish. Mmm. That's 240 Calories.

I'm sure I will be snacking on some fruit throughout the rest of the day...so my total will be at around 1000. :).

And lots of water.
 
hi ava...

Wow, so many accomplishments this weekend. I bet you were jumping up and down when you saw the scale!!! And honey, you just leave that ticker where it is even if it does go up tomorrow. It's probably just water and you'll come right back down to 132. This calls for some serious celebration!!!!! :D :) :D

And thanks for that reminder in my diary. That made me feel so incredibly good. Sometimes we are so in our own little world that we don't notice the progress we are making. So a million thank you's for reminding me. :eek:
 
Thanks, skyler!

Scarlett -- Thanks so much. My face literally looked like :eek:. And congrats to you too! I just remembered you saying something about 30 pounds, went back and looked...sure enough! And you were there! That is so awesome. Keep it up!
 
i agree with scarlett.....move that ticker (or keep it that way LOL). i'm sure it was water retention!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hey guys...thanks for stopping by!!! Hope everyone had a nice 4th! Mine was wonderful.

But now...I'm a bit stumped. I know that I am in the FSD, and I know that I'm supposed to wait until Friday until I weigh...and I know I cheated this week already...but I cheated again. Mostly because I'm on my TOM and wanted to see how it affected my weight. I figured that I'd be up from 132 when I last cheated...but no...I'm down to 130.5 now? It's weird... I just keep losing all this weight. And it's especially weird because I haven't been working out very much at all. I'm not doing anything to lose this weight...it's just...coming off? It's so odd. I'm scared that the scale is going to bounce back up 10 pounds right away. I mean could this really all be water weight?! The thing is though that I haven't been being *very* good about my water...and it is very hot and humid here so I suspect I was at least a bit dehydrated..which makes less sense. I have been doing a lot of walking but...not THAT much. Sorry...I sound frantic haha, but it's just really weird!

Edit: Oh..and I reached my binge free week goal!
 
YAY YAY YAY for reaching your binge free week goal..

ya know, even though you aren't working out as much, you still could be losing weight - because you aren't binging and you are being more careful about what you are eating...

you're doing awesome-
 
That could be very true, mal. And thank you! :). I didn't even realize it until I got on here this morning and realized that I made it! It was a lot easier than I had thought it would be. I'm very good about making the right choices now.
 
That is great news!!! Our bodies do weird things...but maybe all that hard work is catching up and your body is ready to roll. Just keep it up and you will reach your goal before you know it!!!!
 
umm yeah if you figure out how you're losing so much weight, let me know! i'd like to know how you somehow PASSED ME in your weight and i'm still stuck at 133 ;)

maybe its this whole not working out as much thing. maybe we're over-working out and when you chill out a little, youve lost weight?
 
I don't know..just last week I was 138!!! The only thing I've done that's different is stop going running pretty much totally...and do more walking? I mean I even drank the deadly soda this week. If I figure it out...I will let you all know. I have a feeling though that this isn't going to last long. Maybe it does have to do with chilling out on the running? Who knows. Maybe it has something to do with varying it up...making my body think. I've changed around the kinds of food I eat...I used to eat the same things over and over...I don't know? Throw the body a curveball. I'm not expert.

Thanks though guys for your input!

Edit: I've also decided to change my ticker into a less stressful, short term goal. That way I can keep making the goal smaller and keep moving my ticker forward at a faster pace. Just change it up a bit.

this woudl make sense based on reading stuff..but wow, 138 to 130.5 in one week!!!!!!!!!!! i am so jealous!!!!!!!!!! that is so great! i hope you find the magic secret and share with all of us! ;)
 
ava, so happy for you!!!! You are so close to your halfway mark.

I think like everything in life, our bodies can get bored with our routine and feel in a rut. Sometimes all they need is a little shakeup.

Congratulations!
 
Sorry for my slight disappearance. It's been a rough few days. I have a feeling I put back on alll my "water weight" that had come off. I haven't been being so good...I'm very stressed out. Have not been drinking my water. Yuck. I'm really sorry, I have a lot of catching up to do on diaries. Forgive me.
 
hey ava....don't be so hard on yourself. I've had a little bout with water weight this week too so I understand. Just do the best you can!!
