Weight-Loss Lose'n it in September

Weight-Loss
Sep 1: 175.0 (21.9)
Sep 8: 174.5 (21.5)

I'm having a hard time getting back on track. Still losing and that's nice but I'm not doing as well as I could (or should) be doing. I'm sick of telling myself I'm going to get back on track and then proceed to put it off or do/eat something stupid.

Today is going well so far. I'm hoping to get it back now.
 
I knew that it would pay off

Sept 1st: 147 lbs (BMI 23.0; it was after my vacation to Hawaii and an unexpected early menses)
Sept 9th: 143.5 (BMI 22.5; my pre-vacation weight was 143.0 lbs)

I'm absolutely pleased that my September methods of quitting drinking, sleeping 10pm-6am, and doing 30 minutes of yoga in the morning upon rising seem to be kicking in. This is supplemental to my half marathon training and careful diet of as much delicious and nutritious food choices as possible, with reasonable portions and healthy snacks. Occasional indulgences in ice cream don't seem to hinder my efforts too much, although I'm definitely trying very hard to stick to a low GI diet. So far, so good, onward and downward (with the weight)
 
Will accept the challenge!

I am new here and really trying to figure my way around. I want to accept the challenge, hopefully I can find my way back here to report in! LOL! My weigh-in day will be Mondays so yesterday weigh-in was 245#. I am really enjoying this site! :waving: Good to meet all of you!
 
Welcome losinit!

Brad I know what you mean. Im doing ok during the weekdays, but come the weekends I cant control my cravings. I keep having to play catchup during the week so Im not making up any ground.
 
Damn, I went running tonight and had no energy or time or motivation, or anything, but I went. 2.7 miles. If I had more time/energy I would have wanted to do that twice, but at least I got something in.

Right now I'm hungry, but I think I've eaten enough for the day. Problem is I made sweet and sour country ribs for the family, and there is plenty of leftovers. :banghead: My wife is getting home from a meeting in a little bit, so I'm not even packing it all away, just yet. Way too much fat.:svengo:
 
I didn't even get a workout in yesterday. Someone ate my prepared chicken breast and chopped veggies and it threw me right off. I had nothing to eat so I started snacking. I had probably 10 cookies last night and a butt load of ice cream. Not to mention dinner. Chicken with basmati rice and corn. I didnt weight myself today....tooooo scared.
 
My wife got home and I had her dinner all set up and ready like the good little homemaker I am, and she took two bites and said that she'll save it for tomorrow. She said that she's too wound up from work to eat. :ack2: I was starving and she's turning down food like that. Must be why she's skinny and I'm fat. :D

I did have a small bowl of cereal with FF milk, just to drive off the temtation. I have some protein bars, and they have 22g of protein and 300 cal, 7g of fat. The GoLean with FF milk has 240 cal, 24g of protein, and 1g of fat. I'm glad I went that way.

This morning the scale read 206.6. Big jump down. Going to bed hungry= low weight in the morning. :sifone:
 
Going to bed hungry DOES usually mean a low in the morning.

Last night I made dinner at 9 o'clock and had my home made miso soup, although it was just one small bowl. I figured the present sodium and the fact that I ate it so close to bedtime (I went to bed at 10:45, finished eating at 9:50) would make me have a higher weight than yesterday--um, no it didn't.

142.5 lbs down 1 pound from yesterday! .5 lower than my pre-vacation weight :D

:party: I love it when things go according to plan!
 
Oh wait, but I did run for an hour and 22 minutes in the forest after work yesterday..........

Still! I had that serving of Ben and Jerry's Everything But The.... :confused: Whatever, it is a few days after my period so this makes sense.......

Girls, you know how it is, right?
 
So I am in desperate need of motivation to get off my ass. I ran Monday, but haven't done a damn thing since. Yesterday was supposed to be circuit, but ugh.. Step threw on a movie around 7 and it was all over from there.... I am starving for exercise, but just dont have the motivation to get off my butt... suggestions!??!!
 
I think I figured out my problem- The title of the thread refers to losing weight/inches, NOT losing motivation, inspiration, patience, sanity, etc.

:smash:

Now that I have that all cleared up, I am back on the right path. Luckily I have been exercising regularly, but just need to focus on the eating habits. I have gained about 5lbs since August, but will see those numbers lower!

Sept 1: 177.4lbs
Sept 8: 179.4lbs

W00T! 168! That's my update for the week lol...i would prolly have had lower by now, but i found out that i was eating too many calories ( i am on a low calorie diet) because i read a food label wrong, and that prevented me from losing 1 extra pound which made me mad, cuz every pound counts...btw, has anyone had expirence with losing weight while sick? I'm coming down with something pretty bad (not hospital bad hopefully)

Mountain biking. Fun and exercise and it'll help get you back in the groove.

:iagree:

Or road cycling, whichever. Low impact (at least if you are doing SANE mountain biking, not the stuff on ESPN2), good cardio, easy on the knees and ankles, and heck, you get to spend time outdoors seeing the world.

I have to say though, MissDFITT, I've seen your pics, and you would look a LOT beter than me in spandex Bike shorts :smilielol5:

(sorry for the visual on my part)

Ha I wish I had a rode bike, but I've only a mountain type and only do HIGH impact to say the least. Typically when we go riding we are out for hours and burn 1000s of calories... and its amazing!

Ha honestly I don't think I would look any better in spandex than the next person... its a scary visual on my part not yours!!

I did finally get a workout in. Right when I got home from work I changed real quick and got to it. I did a FIRM workout... and pretty much died... that's what I get for not doing strength in sooo long. But I think I at least broke the cycle of doing nothing... granted it only lasted 1 day... but I still felt like I needed to do something.

This weekend marks when I will weigh for the first time in weeks... and measure of course. I don't know what to expect... none of my pants fit and I've been having "I feel small" days this whole week! So here's hoping!:smash:
 
Thursday, not official weigh in day, but I'm posting and boasting anyway. The scale this morning read 204.6. Now to get through the weekend. :smash:
 
Im right there with you Trops. I weighed in at 179 again today. Ive been playing catch up for the last two weeks.
 
I'm telling you, Matt, we are doing it this month. I'm getting under 200 if I have to sit on a meat slicer. :willy_nilly:
 
Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. I've been doing quite well since my cookie incident. I haven't weighed myself yet and I'm debating on waiting till Monday to do so. With my efforts this week, I'd be expecting a decent decline.
