Club 160s

Demented - You are getting closer every day. :hurray:
 
Congratulations to those leaving or going to shortly! Any others still plugging along in the 160s? I had a bad weekend binge, so I might be here for a while yet :rolleyes: but maybe between now and February 1, I can do some damage.
 
Serena - we have all eaten things that we shouldnt. I didnt get to be the size I was at the start by always eating wisely. Get back on track straight away - you will be surprised how quickly splurge pounds disappear when you take control of your food and make sure you do your exercise. You can do it.
 
That is true. My approach is different this time; I'm not letting those splurges make me say, "I might as well not exercise now since I've already blown it." For me, this is a big change, but I have to change my thinking if I'm going to change my body.

You know what hon, I use to say this constantly!! Instead I now say, "If I'm going to eat this, I've got to run tonight." This new way of thinking has made me feel so much better about myself and my ability to maintain my weight in the future. I just have to understand my BMI and how many calories I can intake and how much I have to burn off if I take too much in. With all of this knoweledge, maintaining and loosing will soon become effortless.
 
I've given up loosing any more weight. I've been stalled since last August. I go up and down in the 160's, but I've not lost anything at all in 7 months.

I'm just going to focus on fitness - getting stronger, more flexible, increasing endurance and eating right within a specific calorie range. I'm tired of flirting with 161 only to get on the scale the next morning and seeing 167. I'm not going to go nuts eating everything in sight or anything - I'm going to keep up the healthy food habits. I just don't think it's going to result in anything any more.

/sigh

YAY Demented :)

Glad to see you go down to the next club :)

Wish I could join you there, but I'm not going to hold my breath :/ Ah well, I can now bend over with my feet at shoulder width apart and place my palms flat on the floor and slightly behind my heals - so it's progress :D

God Bless,

I've decided I have to get anal again about food intake. I was at 166 this morning, going back up the scale. So I'm back to measuring my food with measuring cups etc, instead of just trying to wing it.

I think I've been sneaking extra calories by underestimating my portions. I'm committing to ONE WHOLE MONTH of measuring. Measuring March :)

For the month of March, I will pay strict attention to my portions. I will measure every morsel carefully. I'll even go so far as to take a set of measuring cups and spoons to the Chinese Buffet in order to be absolutely sure of my portions, and any other eatery that doesn't have specific nutrition information about their menu items that takes into account their portion practices.

I'm sick and tired of being stuck. It's been two months now, since the beginning of the year and I've not dropped ANY weight. It's time to get precise.

God Bless,

I weighed in today (1st of each month) and am down 3 pounds, so I'm still firmly in the 160s club at 165, but that's okay!

Mikitta, I feel your frustration at being stuck. I've read about people who plateaued for many, many weeks, but finally the body jumpstarts itself again. I'm sure that will happen for you, too. Don't let it get you down. You've made amazing progress already. In fact, it's quite inspiring.

We'll get out of here eventually! :)
 
*hugs* Serena, thank you for your kind words :) Wonderful news about you loosing the 3 pounds to get you securely into Club 160s :) Isn't it funny how we want to exit the bottom end of this club as soon as we can? Maybe by the end of March we'll be in Club 150s wishing for Club 140s LOL

Unfortunately, I've been plateaued for 7 months (Been stuck in the 160's since last August). At least I've not gained the 35 back that I lost last year. I've really only got about 45 more pounds I want to loose. It doesn't seem like SO terribly much. I hope you are right and my body is getting ready to step off the plateau finally and start loosing again. I'm really discouraged today so I'm trying to stay positive.

God Bless,
mik
