March/April weight loss thread

[jobob]

I stayed at 151. I'm okay with that. My skinny jeans are too big and require a belt to stay put now.

Woo-hoo, V that's fabulous! Yeah, it's not all about the weight.

I haven't been weighing myself lately, so I've been pretty much out of this challenge. Eh, I'll deal with this stuff later.

(as I have a bagel with Nutella for breakfast )

Adding in the updates.

I will be posting over the weekend or start of next week to see who wants to join in for the next 8 weeks. So look for the May/June thread soon!

245

Okay, so last Monday, after having ridden 15 miles on Saturday and another 15 on Sunday, I weighed 240. I couldn't believe it. That's the lowest I've been in, I'm not kidding, since longer than I can remember. I think I was in the 230s when my daughter was in Kindergarten. She's 11 now.

So there it was, 240, on Monday, and again on Tuesday. Wow!

And then I got cocky. Or stupid. Or something, and I ate bagels (two) on Wednesday - birthday breakfast at work - and then this absolutely lucious chocolate cake that they had at lunch, and then after my night job, I was hungry, so I stopped and got a chicken sandwich at Jack in the Box...stupidstupidstupid...oh, and there was the London broil I made for lunch, with sauteed mushrooms...stupidstupidstupd...so Thursday I was back up to 246. I figured it was all water weight. At least that's what I told myself.

I went for a 15 mile ride yesterday and a one-mile walk around the neighborhood, but this morning, weigh-in day, I'm back at 245. Same as where I started March 1. But for two days, it felt really good, and now I'm wondering why I sabotaged myself, because that's exactly what I did.

I need to get back on my No Fast Food plan. Fast food does not exist for me after Wednesday.

Everyone here is awesome! I'm at 143. I have new motivation, so the #'s should start improving soon. I'm getting all wild and crazy and hitting the gym before I have a beer tonight (vs just not going). Wish my bike would be back from the shop; I'm ready for a good long ride...

So, my final weight is 138.2

And I agree with Susan. I am almost 55 years old and I am trying to get to 134. My body seems to be happy at 138.

I am not givng up. I will sign up for the next challenge with a weight goal of 134, but if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.

I am in the process of training for a century bike ride on June 14th. Sometimes I just need to eat more to sustain my longer training rides. It is a funny balance between eating to train, eating because you are hungry, and eating just for the sake of eating.

When you are trying to lose weight, you want to be a little hungry each day, but you also can't be too hungry or you feel lousy on your bike. I am still trying to find the correct balance.

But, congratulations to everyone that took part in this challenge. See you again next month!

And, once again, thank you PosseGal for being the keeper of the chart.

I, for one, really appreciate it.

I am at 132.5. I know that during the time I was sick that I ate way less, just had NO appetite but after that!!! ooops...Still, I am happy and will continue to do this because the support here is really highly motivating and I must admit that I definitely think twice about eating something now, knowing I have to "report" at the end of the week!

I have only ridden once in three weeks due to illness so hope that I can get back on target now that I am back on the bike...and it is raining today, tomorrow, and maybe Monday. I did go spin this morning, though! Good girl!!!

Glad to keep the chart for folks. Just need to get myself more dedicated to what I really need to do. I need to make a lot better choices and get myself more active. But lately been wrestling with some personal demons. Just have to get that in check. :-)

I'll get a post going this week for folks to sign up for the next 8 weeks. And I'll dedicate myself to being more serious about this next 8 weeks. I need to do this for me, I need to feel better about things in my life right now!
