A long term weight loss thread

[Cewsbaby]

A cheat day here and there shouldn't ruin you. Omg wings sound amazing right now...

Period showed up so all the craving of sweets makes sense now! Such a short LP (8-9 days) but I'm sure I'm still regulating.

Your right but I just been a log for the past few days since I have not felt well. I just feel sluggish still but I do have a bit more energy. Sorry about the witch! I had the same thing a few cycles ago. I had about 12 days between the two and its been between 25-30 since #2.

Ok Cews, I wasn't going to say it but with how you've been feelinglately and now mentioning your long cycle and no period yet...sure you're not pregnant?

100% sure! I would love a baby but DH isn't sure he wants another one so we have been careful. Plus we have such a hard time conceiving that the chances of me getting pregnant are pretty low already.

 

[gigglebox]

Lol well ok then
I am paranoid/enjoy an excuse to take a test i keep 88¢ Walmart tests under my sink "just in case" lol
I'm 99% sure no more kids but the poasa never dies hahaha

Cews way to go on pushing through to do a workout. I think a cheat day is fine. I try not to usethem as an excuse to go calorie crazy but sometimes I know it's not feasible to stay under my calorie goal. I'm certainly not going to starve myself especially with bfing. So no guilt or shame for those wings!

It was much easier for me to conceive #2 than #1. If you've been careful though then probably not. I'm like gigs, I like POAS to rule out pregnancy.

Gigs I remember having several short LPs pp. Sort of sorry the witch showed but glad you aren't pg right now.

Yeah sometimes its hard to not turn cheat days into weeks I've been guilty of that. More so when I'm not actually tracking what I eat. Christmas time is the worst with all the sweets!

I actually did an opk last week and if it was positive I was going to use my only hpt in the house, frer. I need to get some ICs. I mean we haven't pulled out or used condoms since I'm bfing so kinda playing with fire right now. I'm not so certain about being done. I would like to wait a little longer though.

 

[Cewsbaby]

Yea, I really do want one more but with DS#2 STILL not sleeping every night through I am way to tired to deal with him and being pregnant. Last night was one of those nights too. He decided to wake up at 4am screaming his head off. No real reason either. Not sure if it was a bad dream or what but it took me about 20 minutes to get him back to sleep but then I slept like crap the rest of the night. I am sooo flipping tired right now.

Soooo... stepped on the scale this morning for my Monday weight in.... 166.0! Im actually down over 2lbs from last week! I have NO clue how though. Only 1lb from being at my goal of 165! And Pizza!!! My next goal after is 160. Technically I could count this as my 20lb goal weight loss but I really want to be at 165 before I count it!

SW:185/186
WN:166.0

 

[pacificlove]

Yay for non-scale victories! I can't wait to fit in my favorite shorts again.

I would like to make the other men on the course jealous of my husband -- he'll have a wife who plays that is also hot!

Anyone else have embarassing goals they'd never say to the general population?

Yepp! As I mentioned, we potentially have travel in our future through DH work and some of the destinations have beaches. I'd love to be that hot mom and wife I have work to do before I feel comfortable...

 

[gigglebox]

FLUEK! Omg I am really surprised to see you are being risky! Power to you for being ok with the potential of a third so soon! Have you had a period yet (I assume not)?

Cews well done!!! Do post us a food porn pic when you get that pizza

Pl the thought of being in a swim suit on a beach is terrifying! I'll have to face it soon enough though I'm sure...summer is near and we have a couple local lake beaches.

Afm...officially down 10lbs!!! Half way to my $100 bet winnings MIL is evidently only down a pound lol. Yay for me but boo because I really do want her to lose weight as she needs to for her health. Honestly at this point i can see her getting bariatric surgery.

Anywho I still don't fit in my normal clothes so i went to buy a pair of shorts to hold me over for this in between stage. I was feeling pretty good until I tried some stuff on..damn I'll tell ya nothing brings you down to reality quicker than that! It was like "nope still fat."

Something like that would normally feel pretty discouraging but I felt the opposite. i'm super motivated right now! I can't wait to het this weight off and feel comfortable in clothes again.

 

[Flueky88]

Cews fantastic job! Well I hope you get your 3rd once you are ready the loss of sleep is the worst. My oldest is a great sleeper and was from a young age. My youngest is good for a newborn. I usually get her to sleep from 10p to 3 am and she's just 2 months.

Gigs yeah I really hope to not get pregnant so quick. I'm watching for fertile signs in the meantime but you are correct no AF yet for me. I'm hoping she stays away for awhile from BFing. Ideally if we do decide on #3 I'd start ttc Oct 2020 at earliest. Want to enjoy Disney with the girls next year.

Awesome on weight loss. I hope MIL can lose more weight. I want my mom to as well. She says she's only pre-diabetic but has to take oral hypoglycemic. She recently had to start BP med too. Oh and yeah I tried on old clothes last week. It was sad to say the least

It's not really the healthiest but had an awesome pot roast tonight! Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow. DH wanted me to make some lemon cupcakes witj strawberry icing. I'm going to fix Friday so I can give some away. It'll make me not go crazy on them

 

[gigglebox]

Omg i loooove fruit flavored cupcakes! We'll probably have something similar friday for Levin's bday. We may go to buffalo wild wings and i'm pretty excited for wings! A worthy cheat meal!

 

[Flueky88]

Gigs yum! I like buffalo wild wings. I'm trying to decide to go there or Cheddars for mother's day. I'm leaning towards Cheddars as I think it has some healthier options and I'll blow my day with cupcakes and garlic shrimp with noodles that night. Also, DH offered to take me and his mom out to Hooters for Mother's day. I was not impressed to say the least. I told him no way. Their food really isn't as good as B dubs. It's too greasy.

 

[Cewsbaby]

Blah, I loath Hooters wings. I honestly cant stand them! But B Dubs has the BEST wings! I keep the asian zing sauce and the desert heat dry rub in my house at all times! Their salt and vinegar seasoning is also good on low fat popcorn too!

I will most deffinetly post some pizza food porn!

I get the trying on clothes part. I am smaller but still not into my pre-pregnancy jeans but I am soooo close! lol! About 10lbs more and maybe I will be able to get into them. Buttoning them might be another story! Lol! I hate clothes shopping anyways (but I love makeup!) so give me a tank top jeans and flip-flops any day of the week!

DS#1 was a great sleeper but never a great napper. He still sleeps great at night but at 4 he will not take a nap. Once a month he falls asleep during nap but he does go to his room and "rest" while baby brother naps so I can workout and eat lunch in peace. Its the only time I get during the day.

We are supposed to go to Hawaii with DH (he's an Air Force instructor) in September for 3 weeks so I really want to be around 150 when we go. I know I will have the saggy stomach skin but a vintage high wasted swimsuit will take care of that! Just keeping my fingers crossed that a) we will be able to all go as planned and b) my MIL will be able to go with us and watch the boys. Its supposed to be a vacation for DH and me but I cant leave my babies for 3 weeks.

 

[gigglebox]

What is Chedders? I haven't been to Hooters since i turned 18. I got a crab dish, no wings.
The appeal of our BWW is they have outdoor seating right next to train tracks, so the kids can be loud plus train watch. The adults get wings and beer. Win win!

Baby got me up at 4:45 so i've been thinking about goals and hope that the 140's by October is attainable. If i can keep this momentum it shouldn't be a problem...

 

[Cewsbaby]

So yea... I made a booboo today! LOL!!!!

I went to go take my pre-workout supplement and grabbed the bottle. Took a pill and started to swallow. Mid swallow I realized I had made a HUGE mistake! lol! I took my sleeping pill instead! I still took my workout pill and did my workout but dang was it hard!
I think its because DS#2 was up again at 4am and I was a little tired and not paying attention at the time.

I'm sooo tired!

 

[gigglebox]

OMG! How are you even awake enough to type?! Yikes I bet you've had a challenging day!

 

[Cewsbaby]

OMG! How are you even awake enough to type?! Yikes I bet you've had a challenging day!

Im basically a walking zombie. I consumed coffee and a Dr Pepper to keep myself awake! Im still barely awake. Still killed my workout though! Hardest workout ever but I did my hour and 500+ calories.

 

[Flueky88]

Cews I love me some salt n vinegar flavored things. DH got me to try it and I loved it. My favorite flavor they actually got rid of, jammin jalapeno! It had a hint of lime with the heat. They brought it back sometime ago as their limited time flavor.

FX you make it to your goal of 160 before going to Hawaii. I'd love to go one day. I also hope MIL gets to go to watch the boys.

OMG I can't believe you still managed to workout! Go you!!

Gigs I forgot it's not a huge chain. They have a wide variety of foods. I'm pretty fond of their catfish. They have sandwhiches, steaks, some seafood, pasta, etc. I hope you can meet your goal in October I would like to be 170s when I return to work but not sure if I can do that. I'm only supposed to lose about 1lb/week to not interfere with supply.



I weighed the other day and I was 190! Hoping I'll be 180s today or tomorrow. Been too long since I seen them.

 

[gigglebox]

Woo hoo you're so close Fluek! Yummmm fried things...I can't wait for my chicken wings!

My scale is doing that thing where it won't budge. 175.2 for 3 days in a row now

Cews are you feeling better today?

Myles as been getting me up for the day at 4:45, yawn! I am worried it's interfering with my weight loss :/

I am much better today. I got into bed super early for me last night and that was a good thing since DS#2 was up and down ALLLLLLL night! I think its because he's teething. Its just been crazy and I am still tired. Better than yesterday tired but I want to sleep. All this stress is affecting my weight though and its causing me to snack a little too much and Im back up about 2lbs. I know it will come right off but still... Ugh. I think I will do a fast tonight and see if that helps get me back down. My mom will be here is 2 weeks so I need to get it down fast! Lol!

Tonights dinner is something my DH loves... eggplant parmesan (a lighter version) and I have never had it so I really hope I like it! Last night I was too tired to cook so I just ate 2 corndogs and some chips and salsa. Not at all healthy but it was yummy. Oh, and a Dr Pepper. Just plain old junk food!

Img I haven't had a corn dog in yeaaaars! Which reminds me, the carnival is in town which means only one thing -- funnel cake.
