Weight Checkins
I think we started food/exercise checkins like 5 times and they never stuck. How's everyone doing with their weight loss goals?
I'm sucking out. Even with training for this tri, I can't manage to lose any weight. I did lose 5lbs but only kept it off for about a week. It was pretty depressing to not lose any weight this summer. I usually go to the gym after work, but there's always so many other things to do and I often end up skipping it. I need to start getting up and doing it in the a.m., but I can never manage to get out of bed!
Re: Weight Checkins
i'm really happy to be at the weight i'm at...but i don't feel very healthy. i'm under way too much stress and i don't eat much bc of it. i feel sick everytime i do eat. i need a better outlet for stress...but it scares me to think that the alternative is that i eat like i used to and i'll be fat again. sucks
I realize I am not really trying to lose, but I want to keep my weight gain under control during this pregnancy so I will join in. I have gained 3.5 lbs. so far and honestly it has me a little bummed. I was hoping to not gain at all until for awhile. It is hard to go from being in weight loss mode for so long (I was trying to lose for over 3 years) to switching to maintenance and gaining mode. Thankfully most of that weight came on right away and then stopped so I haven't really gained in about 6 weeks so that is reassuring, but my appetite has suddenly increased like crazy and I don't think that will last.
My working out took a serious nose dive for awhile. I was way too tired to get out of bed in the morning. I am starting to do a little better. DH has been getting up with me and going on walks with my in the mornings before work. It is nice to do with him, but it bums me out because I really want to run and I still can't. I haven't lifted in over a week. I am planning on getting up tomorrow to do it. Hopefully I can actually drag myself out of bed.
I was warned about gaining weight after getting married, and it definitely is true! I'm up 7 lbs. since the middle of May. Its the heaviest I've ever been. H went to the doctor yesterday and he's gained 20 lbs since April.
We talked yesterday about getting better about portion control and stepping up the exercising. Neither one of us really like the weight that we're at. Just hard to get motivated to work out when I'm only home a few hours before going to bed.
terrible. awful. horrible.
i'm weaning off of antidepressants which should be done next week. i'm hoping it will be easier to lose weight then as i shot up 25 lbs and haven't been able to take it off since starting them.
