You look beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142390 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 23:02:52 +0000 Maya 142390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I was down 6 pounds but it turns out I'm only down 5 pounds, or between 5 and 6 depending on time of day, etc. I'm not disappointed though. Five pounds on me is a lot, and is about halfway to my goal, and most importantly, I didn't *gain* anything.</p> <p>I think I'll reach my target by summer, just in time to wear all those pretty summer dresses. Overall, I am feeling very positive even though I was a bit frustrated at my measurements. I'm still trying to get an idea on how things like TTOTM affect my weight and size as I have only been doing this since February. It's a slow process but I guess I knew it would be from the start.</p> <p>Once I reach my goal, I'm thinking of rewarding myself with a big fat splurge item. Maybe that giant polkadot Muse dress? I am obviously going into this assuming I will have a job by then...</p> <p>Anyway, I don't have anything to add to what has been said, but I agree 200% with Louise. Vani, I'm glad that skirt is fitting you better because you look sensational in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142350 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:17:33 +0000 Louise 142350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I did slimming world last year one of the most important things she said was tommorrow is another day and a fresh start, if you fall off the wagon get back on track the following day and don't carry the guilt over otherwise it overshadows the new day. I truly believe this x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142346 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:11:08 +0000 marianna 142346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle and I are on the same wavelength. I didn't step on the scale this morning -- too scared. I got back on track yesterday and will weigh myself next week and see where I am at. I was in California for a couple weeks and whenever I'm around my mom's cooking I seem to lose all motivation. I am back in Chicago now so things should return to normal (ie: no more rich fatty Russian food...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142307 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:09:07 +0000 Karianne 142307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually feel that I'm doing quite good! Since starting to change my diet, and particularly staying off bread, I feel a lot better and my tummy is flatter. I also feel more energetic. Don't quite know about the weight, as I'm having my period, but I actually feel less bloated this time. Over the weekend I ate lots of fresh fish that DH and his brother caught from their boat. Apart from eating some licorice sweets, I pretty much kept my diet even if we were away from home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142258 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:07:02 +0000 Vani 142258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From previous experience I know that from the weight I am at right now, progress is just slow. I haven't lost more than 3 pounds the last 2 weeks, but my prized Marc Jacobs skirt fits me quite better now (wearing it today!) and I am just psyched about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142255 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:02:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 142255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Sarah- this happens to me a lot. When it happens, it's usually mental. You just have to wipe the slate clean mentally, and start a new day. Sometimes that's when I change things up- find new snack or recipes to try, do a different type of exercise for a while, or change my calories. Your goal is totally do-able Michelle- and that's usually where I start. That's where I need to start again today . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142253 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:00:48 +0000 Queen Mum 142253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle- when I have had a particularly indulgent few days or more, I really concentrate on my water intake. When I focus on drinking my 6-8 glasses of water per day it helps to wash all that junk out of my system and I find it much easier to get back on track.<br /> And to your question if this happens to those who have already made progress, I lost 30 pounds 7 years ago and it is still a daily, weekly, monthly battle to keep my eating in the "good choices" range. Admittedly, I think I have more freedom to indulge now than when I was in the midst of the active weight loss, but I still have to temper my indulgences and weigh in regularly if I want to keep my weight in my happy range. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142252 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:56:39 +0000 Sarah 142252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I have set backs all the time. I joke that I've lost 60 pounds so far, and some of them even twice! My progress has very much been a three steps forward, one step back pattern. But I'm still learning, primarily from my own mistakes. It happens.<br /> Well all binge now and again, we all skip workouts every so often. It happens. The numbers will go back up a bit, and we'll feel so down on ourselves.<br /> But something I've learned (that seems so obvious I know) is that the best rememdy for falling down? Getting back up! You CAN lose weight, you already have. So don't let your "failures" keep you down.<br /> The first time I was able to forgive myself and pick back up where I left off was a huge success to me.<br /> Dont' beat yourself up over it, and dont' punish yourself either. Just take it one meal at a time and do what you know you're supposed to. You will see results again!<br /> I'm down 1.6 pounds since last week. Diet is definitely 80% of weight loss.<br /> So here's to another great week for all of us. Don't hold yourself back this week Michelle! Tell your head that your body CAN do it! And prove it to yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142250 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:46:42 +0000 Michelle 142250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Disaster, fiasco and debacle all come to mind. I officially fell off the wagon last week despite good intentions, and now I need to get back on track. The trouble is that now I'm in a discouraged headspace, and I know I'm going to need your help. My goal today is just to eat my point target and account for every mouthful. No extras today at all. Is this a reasonable start? I'm thinking of this just to reassure myself that I can regain control and be accountable.<br /> I really, really don't want to backslide anymore. I slept poorly last night through a combination of poor food choices and guilt over those decisions. Not cool. I want to keep moving forward, and I've either been in stasis or losing ground the past few weeks. Has this happened to you ladies who have already made massive progress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wls-weigh-in-4-12-10#post-142242 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:20:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 142242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had no change again this week. Disappointing, but not surprising.<br /> How is everyone else doing? </p>
