May/June weight loss thread

[bambu101]

I did not do very well on this challenge, and am trying a whole new approach. I am following the Normal Eating for Normal Weight book, and also joined the group on their website normaleating.com. I am fed up with losing .5 pound, putting on 2, losing another .25, and doing this over and over. I am also tired of eating just because it is 7 AM, and I might get hungry in the next hour, but I am not really hungry now. I realized that I have no idea what hunger is anymore, and how little food it takes to be satiated.

I cannot recommed this book enough for anyone who has struggled with weight issues for a long time, like myself.

174.5

I went on vacation and didn't weigh in the week before and this week will be my last weigh in for awhile. I'm still nursing an injured knee and I've had to cut my rides. It's frustrating. One week I'm doing fine and then all of a sudden something quits working right. I guess I'm at the age of mechanical failure.

Cont to be at 150. I have been exercising more including a lot of mtn biking. Oh well.

140.5 for me!

158 lbs at the end. Big fluctuation during the last 2 months due to mainly traveling and bad eating habits/possibilities when not at home. I am ready to change that in the next challenge!

Thanks Possegal for keeping the log!

Although I didn't lose the weight I wanted to, I did achieve a major success: I've managed to get my snacking and junk-food habit under control and am back on a real foods diet with lots of veggies and lean proteins. As long as I keep this up, I know I will eventually achieve my goals.

Looking forward to the July/August WL challenge.

Thanks Possegal for keeping the spreadsheet, and good luck to everyone in the next challenge!

I was away at the Pacific Crest Triathlon this weekend, so I didn't have a chance to weigh on Friday. I ate like a horse all weekend, stuff I normally don't (can you say chocolate cake, and almond joy ice cream in a waffle cone?? ), along with larger thannormal portion sizes all weekend, so I was a bit afraid to step on the scale this morning. But all is well at 128.5, so I guess I burned off enough to offset all the good food we ate in the past 4 days.

I'll continue to shoot for that 125 goal in the next challenge as well, but in the meantime, I'm quite happy that I've been able to maintain at a pound or so below my Weight Watchers goal.

Me too! I'm CycleCat over there...with the same avatar so you'll probably recognize me (though I don't post much).

This week: 172.3
I'll still post a weight for next week, but it's safe to say that I won't be making my goal! I'll be satisfied if I don't go up any more.
