This month has been a real struggle. This last Sunday and Monday I was at 218.0. I have eaten regular/mini binging since then. I was afraid to get on the scale today. I am guessing with carb bloat I am around 224. I am going to eat low glycemically (ala medifast) today and weigh tomorrow.
Good thing ---> I am less than I was at the start of August. My black jeans(20W) that I wore all Winter thru this Summer are mega loose. So I have made progress and feel good about that. I also feel like I have a good handle on how I need to eat to consistantly lose weight.
Bad thing ---> I just really am having a hard time doing pseudo medifast and sticking with it. Eating one thing off plan leads to another and another and pretty soon I have had a major cheat day.
I think the cure for this, is to get back on plan and stay on plan. :) On a positive note, by eating like crap for the last three (3!!) weeks, I have managed to reset my hormones. I am ready for another run at losing weight. I would love to do a full twelve weeks because I could lose around 40 lbs in that amount of time. That would put me back to a size 12/14. So starting today (again) I will be tracking via fitday, sticking to 800 calories a day. I just need to keep in mind that the first 5 days are the hardest. Make it through them, and it will get a lot easier as the carb cravings disappear.
261.0 down to 178.0

Day 35... Weight 219.5... Pounds lost 17.5
Last week was a struggle...
9/1/09 792 cals
9/2/09 2192 cals
9/3/09 1176 cals
9/4/09 857 cals
9/5/09 2203 cals
9/6/09 760 cals
9/7/09 1533 cals
I had been loosing sloooowwwly the prior week (PMS?)and just felt so tired of eating fish, chicken, stirfries, and veggies. For those two weeks I went back and forth from 223-220. I was pretty excited this morning to see 219.5 because I had 220 grams of carbs yesterday, so I think that is my real weight (my carb filled weight). My clothes are fitting so much better and my ankle isn't swelling nearly as much. Unfortunately I have felt really tired for the last three weeks. Maybe the decrease in calories? I am not sure. All I can do is keep plugging away at it though.
I should have taken measurements. I have from 2004 at weight 229.5 my waist measurement being 45", hips 48 1/2" and right thigh 30"! Yikes. I will have to get a sewing tape measure and see where I am at. I remember at 140 I was 36-28-38. I have a long way to go. What's weird about that is that I can see that's a gain of 17" on the waist on 10 1/2" on the hips.
Anyway, I feel good today. I intend to stay on track. I would really like to get down below 210 by the end of the month. I don't know if I can, but it would be really awesome.
