Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Silly, that just totally made my day! Thank you!!

Its these doggone heavy legs I guess. I'm almost at Stazia's same weight and height and she's almost in a size 12 pants...and I still can only squeeze and stuff myself into a 14 and look totally unattractive.

Maybe so but we're all built so totally different, you know?

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Yes, that's true. I was at my sister in laws house the other day and she had a picture that was taken of me when I was just out of high school...and weight about 185 lbs...gosh I was sooooooooooo skinny. My cheeks sunk in and my collar bone showed. But my pants were still size 14.

You know...I think size 14 from 17 years ago is like a size 12 today.......

And you'd be so wrong! Afterall, we're not 17 years old anymore either (thank goodness!)! We are women, yessir we are!

Awwww, man....I was hoping someone would agree with me ! LOL

You're right...I won't be built like I was at 17....age and gravity will have changed my body, that's for sure.

Silly - I know... how fun. Something pretty for a September wedding up North. How Fun! Hopefully I'll be 155. My fingers are crossed! She's so excited! Me... I'd take a year to plan the wedding, my family - 2 months!

YaY Joy
We need you in both threads...lol. That's so exciting that you could be at the 10 pound goal this week! But, we still want you here till the 4th - we're selfish cause we adore you. I'm not sure that you still have the most to lose. I still have 35 - 40 pounds to lose. I'm just not putting that on my mini goal because it seems like to much to comprehend right now - I would be overwhelmed! You already look great!

Joy hun, If you are wearing size 14 in your capri picture, you are barely stuffing yourself in them. They look great.

I have heavy legs too, and my cankles ( calf ankles that have no seperation) look horrendous.

RICHT-- thanks


I am off for the night, I am so tired, jsut returning from the funeral, and need to try to rest.

Lots of water tomorrow girls....

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Up .5 today....why, why, why? Not changing my sig weight because it WILL BE GONE tomorrow!

[SweetCher]

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Joy - I want to take your pictures. Your capris hardly look like a 16W. It must be because your 5' 10"!

Silly - Don't change your sig weight! It's just water retention, or, that steak still rying to digest. It'll be gone by lunch. Don't worry!

bjs - hope you're rested from the funeral. Yesterday must have been tough

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

...I am really getting discouraged. I'm back up to 163. I don't know what to do guys, HELP! Why am I gaining, and not losing?

[sillygirl]

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Ok, let's figure this out. I forget, do you use Fitday or another carb caluclator? Are you measuring food? Sometimes what we eyeball isn't what it really is! Are you near TOM? I know you're stressed, for sure, with upcoming BF visit, but we can help you, please don't be discouraged!

[Kittie]

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

It is TOM for me yes.... I just feel horrible. I'm not recording my food intake with FitDay or anything... I know I should.

I'm very stressed as well... it's finals week at my school and I have four final projects to finish by next week. But I've been eating under 20g a day as far as I'm aware and have been getting my exercise in..

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Well Kittie, first I think it's time you bumped up your daily carbs, but only in the form of legal veggies so that your total for the day is 25 minimum. Often, just adding veggies helps kick in the loss. Sometimes our bodies think we're starving them, so they stop losing. More veggies will not hurt you! Also, I am a fitday addict! I also measure/weigh most everything. You don't have to be THAT anal about it, but I think fitday would help you determine where you're maybe not eating properly, you know? Stress does yucky things to our bodies!

Re: Lose 10 pounds extended to 7/4

Thanks for the advice... sillygirl. Actually your suggestion about the veggies made me realize, well. I don't really eat many to begin with; most of those carbs come from cheese, or Splenda, etc...

I never know what to get or how to make myself easily accessible... what kind of things should I be buying at the store? I've never liked salads... I always feel like a rabbit eating lettuce. But I'd like to add more to my diet and maybe just take your advice and go into Rung 1 of OWL. Thanks!
