Well I can't stand myself anymore.
I can't seem to get out of my self destructive habits
I am gaining more and more weight.
I really need to get on track and actually stay there.
I have no diet plan in mind. Basically I know I need to
eat less starches and less treats. Have more liquids too.
So even though it is almost bed time just for today I will not eat
any more food.

It has been a busy Saturday. Got up and went grocery shopping, had lunch then went with my mom through our city on garden tours. I got lots of walking in!!!
Foodwise probably will not be the healthiest today but the portions have been very good. I have not over indulged on anything so that is a good thing.
Breakfast
3/4 cup honeynut cheerios with 3/4 cup skim milk
Lunch
Hot dog with 1 bounty bar and crystal light
My weight was down to 142.5 this morning but will see how things go after a few days.

Since lunch I ended up having

Handful of walnuts
2 cups veggies
3 pieces of a 10 inch pizza
1 cup vanilla icecream

Steps today 15153

I wish you all the best on your journey. Sounds like you are working towards the right track. Hang in there you will make it! A big congrats on the steps taken!

Have a Great week!

Hey there! You can do it!! Just keep smiling, keep posting, and keep pushign yourself to extremes!

Melinda :D

I guess you are right. I should be more happy with the times I eat well and not get so bummed on the days that I don't do so well. One meal at a time.

Well I have come to the conclusion that if bread was eliminated from the face of the earth I would lose weight!!!!
It is just so darn squishy, and yummy and smells so good!!!
I know that I couldn't low carb for long but I really have to try to hide from the bread my family eats!!!

Well I managed to eat 1 1/2 cups oatmeal and one cup milk but just couldn't eat anymore than that. Will see if this makes any difference.

Lunch
2 bread
salami
cucumber
light mayo
watermelon
1 cup milk with 2 tablespoons bird's powder

biked 3 1/2 miles

supper
peanut butter
2 bread
chocolate cake small scoop icecream (my 16 year old son got his first paycheck and took us out for dessert!!! )
1/2 cup raspberries
walked 4 1/2 miles

What is really interesting is I did not feel like I was starving as I usually do in the afternoon. That was great.
Will try the big breakfast thing tomorrow too

After 3 days of big breakfasts I went up to 148 pounds. So no more of that
Today I had
Breakfast~ slimfast powder and 1 cup milk
Snack ~ orange
Lunch~ 1 cup asparagus with marg, 1 slimfast powder and 1 cup milk
Snack~ 3/4 cup cheerios, 1/2 cup milk
Supper~ 2 peanut butter and jam sandwiches on whole wheat bread (it was late and I didn't have time to cook supper for my family)

So far I have walked 10 miles

An apple for a snack and that's it for the day.
I said no when my husband wanted to take me out for icecream and said no to a piece of chocolate today.
I hope tomorrow will be as good a day as today!!!!

I weighed myself this morning and was happy to see 143.5, that is 5 pounds difference from yesterday so it must have been water retention. It is so very hot and humid here. Guess it makes a difference.

Breakfast slimfast powder, 1 cup milk 1 banana

Lunch
fresh garden yellow beans, slimfast powder and milk
Snack
1 cup milk, 3 tablespoons custard powder

So far I have walked 6 1/2 miles today

macaroni and meat sauce and a plum
Snack
popcorn

Weighed myself this morning and was 145.5 pounds

Tried on some pjs from last year and could not fit them. It is so terribly depressing.

Hey wanttolose, well at least you are nipping this in the bud before gaining anymore weight and that is great, hang in there, it will come off!

I would suggest waiting at least a week in between your "weigh-ins." Do it the same time of day each week (right when you wake up) and do it naked to there's no excuse. Also, when you are around "that time of the month" don't be too hard on yourself. There can be a 5-7 lbs difference for a week or so. It's just water so don't kill yourself over it. You are doing a great job keeping track of your walking. I had pedometer but I lost it. I should get a new one. You are doing a great job! I agree with mydiet, you are lucky to be catching this before you weigh 200+ lbs!

The weigh scale thing I know is not a good thing lol.
I however need to weigh myself daily or I will never stay on track.
It motivates me in the morning to watch what I am eating.
I have been keeping track of my walking and this is what I have accomplished the last few months.
April = 212.6 miles
May = 219.9 miles
June = 233.4 miles
July = 250.1 miles

My goal is to beat Julys miles

Today is Friday.

Hi Wanttolose
I know someone said it before but I think weighing yourself every day really isn't helping. The trouble is - as I'm sure you already know - that you don't get a true impression of your overall weight loss/gain if you weigh every day. Your body holds different amounts of water and food and waste at different times and this is what you're weighing. You haven't necessarily gained half a pound, you're just holding an extra half a pound of ... whatever! I'm sure that you know that you need to consume 3500 more calories than you burn off in order to gain 1 pound, and vice versa. I think a good mini-goal for you this week would be to not weigh yourself between now and next Friday. Ask someone else to look after your scales (and hide them from you) or just throw them away (and go to a leisure centre to weigh once a week). I really, really recommend you try it. I honestly think that if you give yourself a little bit of a break - and trust your body - you will start to see a difference.
Good luck.

Well for me I need to weigh every day to stay on track. I am an emotional eater and I find that stepping on the scale in the morning helps me to try that extra bit harder during the day. I know not everyone agrees with this but I get too far off track with my eating if I don't. I do not follow a particular diet plan so really don't pay attention to the calories I am eating. This way at least I know when I have to work a bit harder on my steps or back off of my eating.
Today I weighed myself and was 144.5 which made me happy but considering I was 138 in June depresses me at the same time.
