Exactly right, Chloe!  And it sounds like you are doing GREAT!  I’m excited for you!!

Day 9

Went on a bike ride today, about 12 miles with no difficulty whatsoever. I am just blown away still. It seems like higher powered movements suffer, but low intensity stuff is just fine.

I’ve also noticed that if I sit or lay down for awhile my energy can be super low when I get up but if I just get up and start moving around, getting the…[Read more]

Thanks! Yeah I’m stoked and ready to drop into the 160s this week

Day 8

Yesterday

It was easy peasy for the most part but I ate dinner at a different time than usual and was a little tired/irritable from that. I gotta try and keep the eating times consistent.

Glad to hear you’re on the mend! Have a wonderful trip!!

That’s awesome. I find documentaries and news about the obesity crisis motivating too. We will not be part of that statistic here!

On that note, here’s an article I read today that’s worth checking out. There’s a clip embedded in the article from Bill Maher about fat shaming that is a great watch too:

Yay! Great first week back. You got this!

That’s wonderful, Susan. Your weight loss is incredible. So inspirational!!

Great point! I am really noticing changes in the way my clothes fit, so I’ll try to stay focused on those non-scale wins to keep me motivated during these slower weeks.

I weighed in this week down 5 pounds. Which is actually better than I feared, so I’m feeling pretty good. Definitely hoping for a bigger whoosh next week though.

I don’t want to be “not fat”.

I want to be thin.

I don’t want to be small.

I want to be extra small.

I don’t want to look OK.

I want to look amazing.

I don’t want anyone to look at me and think  that I look heavier than I did last time they saw me.

I want people to look me and think WOW she’s really thin.

I don’t want to look at my refle…[Read more]

Yes hope tempered with caution!

Regardless of how much water you may retain, you KNOW that you are losing FAT by the hour.  Again, the scale doesn’t tell the whole store.  And the water will leave soon.  Water fluctuations average out in the end.  Keep up the focus!!!

Exactly right, Less … !  The excess fat is more dangerous that you know–trust me.  It’s absolutely lethal.  So race for the finish line, and go as fast as you can!!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, Chloe!!!  I’m so excited for you!  Don’t you feel remarkably hopeful and excited about what lies ahead?

Day 7

Yesterday was another success. I went back over my old logs to see where I started to crack up and it was somewhere around the second week where I started having a much harder time and began to eat larger meals on the weekends even while continuing to do 5 bites afterwards. This made it so that I had to go over that 3 day hunger pang hill…[Read more]

Day 14 – Multivitamins and black coffee with 2 pumps of sugarfree caramel syrup for breakfast. Lunch was 4 bites of spam musubi. Dinner was a lemon Think! bar. Weigh in for week 2 tomorrow. Honestly a bit nervous about what the scale will say this week. My period started a couple days ago and I usually gain weight during this time. Guess I’ll see…[Read more]

Sounds like a good plan. I’ve been trying to do the same myself.

So far I just have found that I need to keep moving and making sure that I don’t sit or stand in one place for long enough for any of my limbs to falls asleep. I feel better after drinking water but if it gets really bad and lasts a long time even when I’ve been moving, I think I will take some electrolytes and see how that changes. That’s the…[Read more]

@spiderchlome I was noticing that too! It’s great seeing your progress, because I’ve been experiencing similar things too. I’m curious how your water experiment goes too. I’ve been battling dehydration myself and have also had circulation issues with limbs falling asleep more easily these days.

Great!!

So sorry all I have been so absent. Had been really sick with flu cold etc. on z pack for a second week as am flying to England today. I tried my best with going to work  and Pittsburgh

so happy to say I am down 9 pounds to 129 though. Didn’t have much appetite when I was sick. So had five bites of food x 2 daily.

My friend whom I am staying wi…[Read more]
