March/April weight loss thread

[txred9876]

261.2 for me. grrr. I should be melting away as hard as I've been working! Oh well, I'm definitely getting smaller; I can now comfortably wear the blouses that I couldn't even pull together in the front this december when I was frantically looking for something to wear for my son's graduation.

I noticed when I stopped losing weight it was because I was not eating enough. My body said your not feeding me I am not taking any off you! I was still losing in size but not in weight. I am now eating about 2800-3000 calories a day and things are starting to drop pretty good.

just an fyi.... as it looks like we are about the same weight.

I suppose that could be an issue. I was so "good" last week, and that was the week I didn't lose much. My metabolism must be a lot slower than yours, even though we are the same size.I've been keeping the calories under 1800 and that's 500-800 less than I usually eat (and maintain this weight).

Thanks for all the encouragement, everybody.

What are you doing for exercise?

I am training for a triathlon and working out 6 days a week.

I work out 6 days a week as well. I'm also training for stp and rsvp (a double century and a triple metric century which I also did last year)

Wow!
Frustration factor was getting pretty high (bordering on rage) until I whipped out the tape measure and took some quick measurements. I've lost over 30 inches! 10 inches off my waist, 3 off my neck and bicep and 8 off my hips and bust. My waist,bust and hips used to be exactly the same measurement, but now my waist measurement is actually smaller than bust and hips. I feel so much better.

Thats wonderful!
I never took any measurements to start with so i have no reference point.I probably should have.

10 inches off your waist is incredible. I bow down to you, girl!

See? You're doing GREAT!!

I noticed your caloric intake--have you tried periodically eating 2200 calories and then dropping back to 1800? Sometimes I got a boost in weight loss by increasing my intake.

No change, 154 today. Friday always seems to be my heaviest day.
