I was up a pound yesterday :mad::mad::mad:. This had better be due to hormonal water retention.
Could not weigh myself today because I was in a hotel after going to the U2 concert in Philadelphia last night.

I've been in crazy remodeling mode, missed the last 2 weeks, but my weigh in is 135 - yay. Hard labor helps! LOL:)
135.2
I was 135.4 yesterday. It is the first day after my shoulder surgery 2 weeks ago that I attempted to get ready for work (shower, dress) and drive there myself. I made it - but had bad hair and needed a nap when I got to work :) I am getting better every day though!
Thank you! I just got a Specialized Ariel Sport Disc, first new bike since the 90s so I am very excited - going out for a ride in a little while to test it out.Quote:

223 lbs!
There's a lot to be said for feeling like you want to puke all day long from stress and sorrow. Ya lose weight.
A fine week preceeding my birthday today....(sigh)
Love you girls!!
I was at 222 yesterday. I think because of lower activity level courtesy of chest congestion. Back to exercising and I think heading the right way this week.
Oh no, Julie. :( That's not the way you want the scale to go down for sure. Hugs to you!!! So sorry about your boyfriend. I hope your birthday was good anyhow and you surrounded yourself with friends who truly love you!Quote:

Oh my heaven! You know, you don't want to win the 'worst week EVER' award, right? :) Trust me. I won it in Dec when my nephew was killed. Not an award I'm looking to win again, nor do I want to see any of you win it either!Quote:

(Though sadly I do get the whole - bonus that I'm feeling so lousy I can't even think about eating. Just not a way I want any of us to lose any weight!)
That's the perfect attitude!! You control your own destiny. Can't control what others do, but you can control your attitude and how you deal with things.Quote:

I'll weigh in today since I'll be out of town for the next two Fridays.
166.2 :mad:
I don't know how in the world I gained 2.5 lbs. I want to give up. I just can't take this trying and then being disappointed by the scale. It ruins my whole day. I need to not let the scale determine my mood and self-worth, but I need to lose weight. Ugh...
I'm so tired of being fit but fat. :( Maybe this is who I am and I need to make peace with it...
Since last week, I lost a pound, then gained 2. Between yesterday morning and this morning, I lost 1.5 pounds. Small amounts like that could be due to water gain/loss as much as anything else.Quote:

I just feel like the fat one of my peers, and I am in comparison. I need to stay away from cameras and mirrors because I feel beautiful until I see myself- and then the self-loathing begins... it's all in my head. I wish I could fix it.Quote:

Unless someone chops off both my feet in the night I think I will have gained at least 2 pounds come tomorrow morning :(
No idea. I'm in Waikikii and I don't think they allow scales here.
I've been active every day. I got a couple of miles of walking in today, and yesterday I did what I'm calling the Waikiki Tri. I walked 1/3 mile to the beach, swam to out to the buoy and back (I want to say a quarter mile, but I kinda doubt it), then 30 minutes on an aquacycle (those big 3-wheelers you paddle around in), then DH dropped me off back at the buoy and I swam in, then walked the 1/3 of a mile back to the hotel.
Then I walked about a half mile and met MillieNZ for lunch! Salad bar buffet at Duke's. She's delightful and the food was awesome and they gave us the best table in the place. It was a great, great day.
Oh, and then the half-mile walk back to the hotel.
I feel like I've been eating way too much, but I've also been really active every day, so maybe it's evening out. My clothes aren't getting tight or anything. In fact, my "skinny" shorts are fitting just fine, so I'm good. No idea on the numbers, though.
Next week. :)

151.6 :( :( :( :(
I was 133.4 this morning. I consider it a victory that I am not gaining. I have been riding my bike on a trainer some, although riding in a sling is NOT fun, and walked a little over 2 miles the other day.
I seem to be going back in the right direction- 117.0 this morning.
183 this morning - another pound down. Slow and steady!
Heading back in the wrong direction, 124.6.
I admit, I didn't eat very well while out of town, I had the best intentions ;)
144.6. Which is an improvement compared to the 147 I saw a few days ago.
My friend had a Bastille Day party last Saturday, which involved much excellent food and gave me an excuse to not exercise all weekend (no time on Saturday, too tired on Sunday). But since my friend's husband died last summer, it was more important to go to the party than worry about bike rides and calories. Besides, I wore a dress that I bought about 15 years ago, and it fits me okay, better than it did when I wore it for a birthday dinner 7 years ago.
Anyway, back to bike rides and watching calories...
Didn't weigh today - went to a TDF party by my LBS last night and had free pizza and beer (not free). I never eat pizza any more and am sure all of that sodium had the scales higher than usual. That is depressing. Will weigh in next couple of days and post then :o Scales not allowed day after pizza party or long ride day.
Wow! 130! Finally! :)
I've got a long way to go, but that's the lowest it's been in a long time.
Now I'm psyched for some long rides this weekend. Good luck and safe riding to everyone.
137.6 :mad: :mad: :mad:
This has GOT to be from fluid retention from my hot ride and strength training yesterday and sodium from the pizza Thursday night, I didn't eat THAT much pizza!
Tri Girl - do you write down EVERYTHING you eat? I was about 175 and frustrated as well, and I made a simple commitment to myself just to write down every single bite that I ate. I have been using fitday.com to do that since 11/09 and have lost 40 pounds. It is amazing to me how many calories are in some foods and how small portion sizes really are.Quote:

2. Doc's appointments (obviously)--I'm clean from any "infections" but found out I have to have outpatient surgery...ovarian cyst/enlarged uterus...blah blah...
3. Tried to get my stupid cat neutered--he has a heart murmur and the vet can't do it. Must go to more expensive vet (of COURSE!) with the right equipment.
4. Girlfriend canceled plans to take me out to lunch on my birthday. I instead take my daughter out to a couple stores...end up getting a traffic ticket, ON MY BIRTHDAY, with a fine of $150.
There's more, but I won't bore anyone. However, doc's office scale said 219 lbs. I'll take it. For God's sake, I deserve it.
So...219 lbs. is my official weigh-in for the week.

Julie, am so sorry to read this and know how much this must hurt. You deserve far better...just had to say that.
(((Julie)))
Yes. I'm doing Weight Watchers so I'm counting points and writing things down. Losing weight at nearly 40 is a lot harder than when I lost 30 lbs when I was 32. Age is hard on you, I guess. :rolleyes:Quote:

self-acceptance is hard. I have to also remember that even when I was 120 lbs and a size 4 I still had body image issues- thinking I was too chubby, etc. I need to learn to love me at any size (easier said than done). If my weight were keeping me from doing the things I love, then it would be a different story. I need to let it go...
Maybe my goal for this July/August weight loss challenge will be to not let the scale ruin my day or not let it define me. I think I'm having some kind of epiphany this week. ;)
Thanks so much, hon! Yes, you are right...I know it...I deserve someone better. I recently took out from the library the book "He's Just Not That Into You" and how amusing it was when my BF pulled it out of my bag and started looking at it. The curiosity killing him, he had to ask "I just have to wonder if this is about ME??!!" (REALLY?? Could it REALLY be regarding YOU??) Men. And this particular man has a PhD and is world-renowned in his field. I never thought he could be so stupid.Quote:

I agree...as much as it hurts. There is no lightening that's going to strike him to make him love me. My brain knows this. Someday my heart might learn it, too...Quote:

I'm hopping in on this challenge. Put me down for 157.5 :(
Julie, as others have said, you deserve better. I know it's tough, but I hope you find the strength to walk away from this man. If you want a monogamous relationship, don't settle (or risk your health) for anything short of that.
And brains do not equate to emotional intelligence or integrity.
