Weight Loss and Exercise #4

I weighed 157.6 lbs today. I'm trying to eat balanced without falling back into either restricting or bingeing which is hard. But I think I did a good job today

I quit vaping the other day so I've been eating more. I have to really be careful. I don't want to mess up my progress. I'm eating things like cereal, yogurt and rice/vegetables. So it's not really bad.

Weighed 156.8 lbs today. Down almost a pound.
It’s motivating me

I was 165.8 the first time I weighed myself. Then I drank a Mountain Dew and weighed myself half an hour later and I was 166.6. So I basically stayed the same since yesterday. Despite eating healthy. Yeah my body just does not lose weight on a healthy diet. I don’t understand it and no one believes me, but it’s true. I had frozen broccoli and salmon for dinner last night and the scale didn’t move. The other day I had a bunch of crap and dropped 3 pounds overnight.

Today I had a bowl of Honey Comb cereal and the full calorie Mountain Dew. I’m trying to figure out my calories because I got the lunch special from a fast food place and you know when you say you want the “lunch” special you expect to get the lunch size portions. But they gave me full size servings. So I gave the second piece of pizza to my mom. And I’m just picking at the baked spaghetti because it’s huge and there’s a ton of cheese on it. I’ll probably eat half of it and give it to someone else. I had planned on having baked chicken for dinner. Most people would be super happy to get full size servings for the lunch special price. But I am not. I get confused and annoyed when I can’t track my calories accurately. People have reasons for ordering specific sizes of things. I’m working on doing more intuitive eating but today I just wanted to calorie count.

I saw a few pairs of Hollister pants that I wanted but they were too big. But I found a hoodie I thought looked too small and it fit great. In store clothes shopping sucks. Especially at thrift stores.

I get my period on Sunday. So that’s probably why the scale got stuck today. At least I’m not hungry the way I usually am when I PMS. I didn’t eat much at all of the baked spaghetti. Not even a quarter of it. There was just too much cheese. But I did have a macaroon. The soft cookie like ones. And then I had a tablespoon of peanut butter and I’ll have a piece of chicken. So I have no idea on my calories. I could be low. I could be a bit over. But today was for sure intuitive eating. I am confident I will lose more weight and eventually get down to my goal of 140.

From what I can quickly guesstimate I’ve had just about 1250 calories with dinner added in.

I was 165.6 today. I needed a cheat day and I usually have one on the weekend anyways so I just let myself have one. I had a Lion candy bar and a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter. I finished the bag of Goldfish I had already started a few days ago and I finished that stupid box of Honey Comb cereal I had been eating for days. I got a couple sodas from the gas station. I don’t really have any other plans for today regarding food. But I plan on sticking to what I have on the counter since I’ve already started that stuff. Which is Cookie Crisp cereal, tomato and basil Quaker rice cakes, and a couple other things I can’t remember. I also have an Oreo hot chocolate I got that I haven’t had yet.

I weigh about the same. I've been eating more cause I've been stressed.

Ugh. I ate way too much today.
I had:
A candy bar
3 bowls of Honey Comb cereal
Half a bag of Goldfish crackers
2 spoonfuls of Jif crunchy peanut butter
A piece of chicken
The rest of my spaghetti from yesterday
13 Macaroons
And 2 slices of pizza.

I also had
2 large gas station sodas
A large Oreo hot chocolate
And a can of orange Vanilla Coke. Along with tea and other sodas.

I weigh 170. Which I’m not surprised. I actually thought it would be higher. I mean I ate 1300 calories just in macaroons yesterday. Today I don’t feel ravenous at all. I’ve had a bowl of Cookie Crisp cereal for breakfast, and a kiwi drink and 3 tomato and basil rice cakes for a morning snack. I plan on having more cereal and peanut butter throughout the day and then I am going to have salmon and frozen cauliflower for dinner. I have down 1244. But I am not sure exactly on the drink from Starbucks since it was made special.

Goodness, I've ticked up to 205...and that makes sense bc my clothes feel tight.

I'm committed this week to following my weight loss rules.

1. Smaller breakfast
2. No wine on week nights
3. Workout 5 times
4. Get my 10k steps a day.

I have been eating a way too large breakfast lately and throwing off my calorie intake. And with the pandemic I was having a glass of wine almost every night. Gotta stop that.

I'm going to get this weight back off. I was 183 before the pandemic and dropping.

I've not been hungry but I'm eating something cause I know I should. I'm eating fruit, deli turkey, swiss cheese, rice and vegetables.

So far so good. Had avocado toast and two hard boiled eggs for breakfast, 350 calories. Almost half the calories I have been downing the past month (maybe longer).

Walked 1+ miles today so far. Have to do 2 more walks or 1 long walk.

I'm up a little bit. I guess stress is getting to me. It's hard to quit vaping. I will try drinking more water today and eating less. I've been doing housework so I'm getting a workout.

Despite going from sedate sitting around to 4 days a week of aqua fitness classes I’ve lost no weight. This is very disappointing. 45 minutes of vigorous exercise and no weight loss. My eating has remained the same.

I was 168 today. I was expecting to be a bit less but I weighed myself about 1.5 hours later then I usually do. I went to sonic at 8 to get some cheese fries and a coffee. I had planned on going to Applebee’s for lunch but I decided not to. I had a can of orange Vanilla Coke for lunch. My afternoon snack will be a tablespoon of peanut butter and a rice cake. Dinner will be a piece of salmon. I have down 1235 calories.

I did well with lunch and afternoon snack. I was kind of starving by dinner and ate too much. But I'm going to take Andy for a walk/run in a bit, so I'll burn some of it off.

But still, better than in past days where I overate at all meals. For day 1, I'll take it.

I’ve been slacking on my weight loss because of my high anxiety. So I’ve been taking meds that make me hungry at inconsistent times instead of right before I go to bed. I weighed myself this morning and I was 171. I’m pretty sure that’s legit what I weigh since this eating pattern has been going on for several days. Today I had cereal for breakfast and then I went out to lunch and I had a small sirloin steak and a sweet potato with everything on it. I may have some cereal although I’m very tired right now. I’m at 950 calories right now.

I'm at 277. My lowest was 276. I've been this weight for a week now. I guess it's not bad considering I've quit vaping. I really wish I was at 275. I want to start moving in the right direction.

I’ve also been drinking full calorie sodas and iced coffees again. The reason my weight was heading in the right direction in the first place was because I quit that stuff or limited myself to one a week. I have quite a few full calorie bottles of sodas since 3 kinds of Mountain Dew came out around the same time. I do also have plenty of zero sugar stuff and 4 unopened zero sugar and diet cases though.

I am in my 3rd month of induced menopause and the weight just keeps climbing.... I've worked out on my treadmill everyday and been very diligent about cutting back on my eating but yet here I am up 35lbs in 3 months I just want to cry.....

Today I weighed 167.2. Man does this weight come on and off quickly. That’s why I have to be so particular. Yesterday for dinner I had about 1/4 cup of pasta. So I was under 1100 calories. Today I plan on eating a combination of healthy and not healthy foods. I plan on having harvest pasta and butternut squash pasta sauce for lunch, and Salomon and quinoa for dinner. For breakfast I had 2 cups of Cookie Crisp cereal. For my morning snack I’ll have a chocolate Dr. Pepper and for my afternoon snack I’ll have a tomato and basil rice cake and a serving of Goldfish crackers. I have down 1,216 calories.

I was posting in the wrong thread. Anyway today i weighed myself on the gym scale. 251. Pretty cool. Its one of those scales where you have to mpve the little weights over on the arm. It was really cool being at 1 lb. I dont remember seeing the next level down, altho i know i was there about 20 years ago, i was about 20 lbs lighter.

I know ive been eating a lot less sweets for the past while. I was listing them and i deleted it! Ive also been overeating less often. I have learned that after i have had a serving, not to have a second, even if i think i am still really hungry; i have fruit or veg. Also i dont keep white bread in the house. Also stopped with the peanut butter. Dairy of any kind is an occasional treat.

I need to track this on my WW account. Or maybe i will wait and see what it reads on my home scale. I put on a pair a jeans that were new but i dont remember wearing. I was feeling slim! But i am definitely getting old ladys body!

I really wanted a burger and soft pretzel sticks yesterday. So I had that for lunch around noon. I had cereal for breakfast. Then I had a glass of cranberry juice around 5 and then I took a Benadryl and slept through dinner. I was 168.2 today. I weighed myself at 2:30 because I wanted to drink stuff.

I gained a little weight. I don't know why. I try hard to eat right and drink enough. I got exercise today cause I had to walk a long way to and from my doctor's office.

Darn weight watchers! My previous weight there was 248, so it was like i gained 3 lbs! Well good thing i have them to keep me honest. But it was on different scales, clothes on, late afternoon etc, which is not my usual weigh-in protocol. It still felt good to be hovering around 250 for a change.

I was 167 this morning. At the doctors with shoes shorts and a hoodie I was 172. So I’m just maintaining. I’m not sure what I’ll eat today. I’ve already had a candy bar, a tablespoon of peanut butter, and a small cheese fries from Sonic. I also had a regular orange Vanilla Coke and a medium French vanilla iced coffee. So I’m already over a thousand calories. The candy bar, Coke, and peanut butter were eaten between midnight and 2:30. So I’m not sure if they should be counted. Basically today I just plan on doing intuitive eating. I’m not very hungry anyways and I’ve been good at not eating when I’m not hungry. Sometimes a little bit too good.
