May/June weight loss thread

[Jones]

I think you are being too hard on yourself. You didn't gain any weight, you made good or okay choices most of the time and now that you are back home you will continue to make good choices. Imho I think that is what we are all trying to do. If I had made good or okay choices most of the time I wouldn't be 184 lbs but I made more bad choices thus the need for me to diet now. My goal is to be able to eat whatever I want sometimes and eat healthy most of the time and sometimes I am just gonna wanna eat 5 different cookies. Life and food would be pretty boring without good and bad choices.

Well said! That is probably why I won't ever be a size 6 again, but life is short, and there ARE good cookies out there! This is why I exercise... ok, it's only ONE of the reasons, but it's a big one!

You all are doing GREAT! Weight loss or not, we are all working to make our health more positive -- that's what matters! Keep it up everyone! Oh, and PEDAL WENCH: if you want, I can sneak in and loosen that dress a little -- then you can zip it up and feel FANTASTIC!

I thought of that! I bought it for my brother's wedding last year. Couldn't zip it then either and got into it in time. So, I know I can do it. But, if not, maybe just a little bit around the bust...

I learned that there's a huge difference between junior and real-woman sizes. This dress is 4 sizes bigger than my jeans - I don't get it. Apparently, juniors don't have ribs. Or are they like baby's heads - they're still soft and squishy.

I have to stop weighing myself every day! It's making me crazy when it doesn't budge. I usually blame the fact that I haven't relieved myself of dinner the night before when I step on the scale in the morning

Today will be a very disciplined day. 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg for breakfast with a splash of Bragg's liquid aminos for taste! I'm not sure what lunch is going to look like... it's end of the year workshops at school and I think the cafeterias are closed!

I had a rough week this week. I was hungry but couldn't figure out what my body wanted so I ate more than usual. I noticed my HR was up so I figured that I was starting to overtrain and that's why I was eating my way out of the house.

Next week is another week.

219 this week. Not what I hoped for, but still progress...

157 this week. Also not what I'd hoped, but that's what I get for overtraining with the weights and waddling around the rest of the week! Next week will be better!
