September/October weight loss challenge

**solobiker** · 10-16-2009, 09:00 AM

well...I am at 153. I have been so busy at work, some days working 13 hours which does not leave a lot of time to exercise and I am just mentally drained. Hope next week will be better.

I was going to post that I didn't weigh this morning, but I did. I also am about to post in the 'what did you eat today' thread that I ate almost an entire large pizza by myself last night. My first binge in years.

I think I was punishing myself for something but I haven't quite figured it out yet.

Anyway, I'm up today. 170.9. Two pounds exactly. And two days ago I was thinking that I was feeling slimmer and that I'd probably see a drop this week.

If only I knew! I tend to sabotage myself as I get closer to my goal but doing it when I've barely started my new program is just weird. I do hope to figure it out though because it was too painful to let it happen again!

I just keyed it all in and I do feel better about it. My weight gain is obviously related to water (something that always happens after I eat pizza even if it's just one slice), and seeing the numbers in black and white has made me relax a bit. I was over my daily burn by 1300 calories yesterday. That's not even a half pound's worth. Certainly not enough of a reason to 'throw in the towel' as I've done in the past. I probably erased my entire weekly deficit (it wasn't a very good week exercise-wise either), but I certainly didn't eat enough to gain real weight this week.

Ok, I feel better. Putting it past me now. Moving on...

171.0 moving in the wrong direction. 8 years ago when I quit smoking my weight shot up, since then I have lost weight right to this 170-172 and can not seem to cross over into the 160's. To prove this to myself I ate cake for dinner last night and after weighing in today I had Chipoltle for lunch: the entire chicken burrito, chips, guacamole and a margarita.
I'm now thinking of doing something really strict: a cleanse, sllimfast, the cookie diet. I don't know which yet or even if yet but I have to, have to get over this hump.

Limewave, that's awesome. I know you've been dealing with a lot and that kind of stuff sends me straight to comfort food. Good for you! Even with the cake and pizza. <g>

Way to rationalize yourself back on track, GLC! It's just the sodium. Of course. And this, too, shall - ahem - pass.

**Jones** · 10-16-2009, 05:49 PM

I just looked at the chart and realized Channlluv has reached her goal. CONGRATULATIONS CHANNLLUV

**channlluv** · 10-16-2009, 05:57 PM

I did? Woohooooooo!

Time for a new goal. It's just so easy to get complacent and slack off, but today I swam 600 yards in 25 minutes, then met a friend at the lake - my superfit black belt friend- and we rode 12 miles in about 45 minutes. Not back to back, so not technically a brick, but my hair was still wet from the pool as I was riding around the lake.

Thanks, TE! I seriously would not have done this without your help. And thank you for noticing, Jones. You rock.

Congratulations Channeluv!!!!!
As for me, last weekend's weigh in was 168.6. Forgot to post it, sorry! Hey -- at least I'm not quite to weigh in this week yet!

**e.e.cummings** · 10-22-2009, 02:49 AM

Trainer weighed me this week and I am at 145! I am using the 'work out less because you are sick' method.

**jp4995** · 10-22-2009, 06:27 AM

Ok, I'll post again tomorrow with my actual Friday weight for the challenge.... but today I was 147.6! Down a pound, FINALLY!!!! Happy dance time!
