The weekly weight loss check-in and encouragement

[michelle666]

I still haven't weighed myself, so no clue how much I lost, I've been doing it by sizes. I can not fit comfortably in size 12 jeans. I used to not even come close to getting them buttoned.

86.5 - nothing significant though - or not sure if it's just water weight fluctuating from 87.5 of my last check-in.  Need to get my work-out regime  back on track...

Down 1/2 kg (1lb) this week. Current weight is 79kg (174lbs), down from 85kg (187lbs) from start of 2012.  🙂

I actually weighed myself the other day. I was in Macy's and saw a scale in the bath section. The last time I weighed myself was about 6 or 7 years ago and I gained since that time. I'm down 65 pounds from the last time I stepped on a scale.  I'm figuring with the weight I gained after that time, I'm down about 75-80 since August.

Yesterday, I tried to wear very old Jordache jeans of Junior 5 size (25 inch). It is very tight, and probaby was produced about 20 years ago. I purchased it at a salvage army thirft store about 10 years ago. It was difficult to eat lunch fully, but I felt that my girth decreased a little bit more.

Yay!

Okay so last week when I was about 1kg shy of where I was the week before I was kinda sceptical about it being a result.  But this week, the scale is at 85.5kg so -that's 2kg down from 2 weeks ago.  And I'm a little more convinced I'm losing weight

I'm using myfitnesspal to keep track of food and excercise, and according to the goals I set in there, I seem to be achieving them   I'm aiming for about 1kg (about 2lbs) per week. Overall I'm down about 8kg (17.5lbs roughly) since the new year.  I was doing well until the end of Feb when I got sidetracked but am now back on course.  Ten kg more to go and I'll be happy.  At the current rate, that'd be some time towards the end of July.  I can live with that

Spring is a good season for running outdoors. I do not check my weight, but just feel whether my girth has decreased or not.

Sometimes I also took a few photos which you see by clicking the black icon along the track.

Good luck with the last 10kg! I also have another 10kg to lose until I reach my own target.

Yesterday I checked my weight in several years. It was 65.4 kg (or 144 lbs), which indicates I am in a best condition. Several years ago, I was surprised that my weight was 70 kg = 154 lbs. Now I am relieved.



I am going out for morning exercise right now.

i kicked my cheap $3 ikea scale and instantly I gained 5kg.  it's been going down again but now I'm not really sure where I'm at anymore 🙁

I don't think my body's gone into starvation mode, and gaining 5kg in a day seems pretty improbable to me.  slowly, another week and another kg off.  so relatively I think I'm still on track...

[hiddenflame]

Ok, well we finally have a temporary kitchen again.  We're still trying to get the insurance to cover new cabinets since I have to buy some even if they won't cover it, and we have little counter space, but we've got functional appliances and a temp sink and tables for work space.  I've been back on my diet for 4 days now, but it has been 2 months of almost constant eating out or microwaveable meals so I'm up 4 pounds.  I expected a gain and honestly am glad it was not worse, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with the gain.  Oh, well I'm back on track now and should be able to start losing again.  Also we've been much more active outside so hopefully that will help too.

   226.4 (current)
-  222.4 (last measured)
+ 4 pounds 🙁

For the past few weeks, I ran nearly every day, and I feel that my girth decreased by one inch to 25 inch. Today's photos. While running, and after running.

[barbie]

I guess my weight is now 64 kg (141 pound). Today after running ( http://runkeeper.com/user/sjung/activity/94984846?&mobile=false 🔗 [Link: runkeeper.com/user/sjung/activity/94984846/] ), I took some photos using the iphone camera timer. I guess my girth is approaching 25 inch. Drought prevails nationwide, but my hometown is relatively humid.

Ok, I seem to have more anomalies with my weight....

We have been much more active lately to try and help fight anxiety.  But I also had three nights where I had to take a benzo and went straight to bed after dinner.  Have been able to stick to my 1600 calorie diet pretty well since I've been feeling so sick to my stomach lately.  Several nights I was sure I would lose my dinner, but managed to stave it off.

I also started back on a diuretic.  I went off spiro a bit after my orchi and I had been noticing that I was swelling like a ballon each day.  I asked my Dr last Friday if it was HRT induced edema and she agreed that it likely was.  So she started me on a very low dose of a potassium discarding diuretic so now I get to eat all the bananas and leafy greens I want without worrying.  The diuretic was a HUGE help.  We've recently discovered Vibram Five Fingers and I either wear nothing, those, or a flat pair of sandals.  Both the Five Fingers and my favorite sandals have been leaving deep marks on my feet by the end of the day where it has swollen so much since morning.  Now it is down to just a bit of marking.  I still can't easily get my rings off like I could when I was on spiro, but I'm hoping it will continue purging all the excess water.

Now for the reason I explained so much

for the past 6 days

     218.2 (current)
-    226.4
=  -8.2 pounds.

Losing 8.2 in 6 days is absurd, so it must be the edema finally relaxing.

In any even I was happy to see that weight this morning because it means I may be out of the obese zone soon.

[GhostTown11]

Measured:
22 inch waist
32 inch hips
28 inch chest

Dropped from 130 to 124(currently, I'm 5'9)
I'm officially underweight. Yay -_-

Maybe I should start a weekly weight gain check up thread?

[barbie]

Recently I ate too much pork. My waist is now 27 inch while hips is 35 inch. I will decrease my waist to 25.5 inch very soon.

Veritatemfurto,
It sounds that you have done a lot of work. Congrats.

As a lof of guests visited here and I guided them this week, I did not exercise for 4 days and my waist size increased considerably. I ran again today and will do tomorrow.
