i really don't know life
Hello calorie counters! let me introduce myself as i am a bit of a lurker in this part of the forum, but i've never posted.
i'm rhuba, and i've lost 11lb since joining in feb by healthy eating and exercising regularly. i havent been calory counting per se, just watching what i eat and making healthier choices.
over easter i kinda lost track a bit. it's totm for me and i drank quite a lot of beer (normally i stick to vodka diet coke) i had a bit of choccie, but not too much, but i just feel kinda meh. been having a mega fat week - why do i feel bigger now than 11lb ago??
also, the 4 day weekend messed up my regime. normally i go to the gym monday, wednesday, friday straight after work. coz i wasnt working friday or monday, i didnt factor a gym visit in, and therefore i feel a bit rubbish about it all (ie. beer + choccie - exercise = gain!!)
i didnt weigh myself this week, coz i don't own scales and usually do it at the gym (and even though i went last night i was a little scared of doing it!)
so i guess what i'm saying is that i've decided to keep a food diary and calorie count for a couple of weeks to get me back on track, and as you all seem like a loverly bunch is it okay for me to join you? i've decided on 1500 calories a day with 3 days of gym bunny-ness (burning around 600-700 cals a time) i'm only aiming for a slow loss, to try and keep it off this time! so my goal is 6lb by the 24th May (7lb by the end of may) hopefully this is do-able!!

^ Good to have you on board!!
Nic alot of us are reaching a flat line as far as weight loss is concerned but I think you have to stick at it or reduce your cals. Like Vicky I have to stick to 1000 to lose anything as my body is so slooooooww at weight loss. Let's keep it going girls cus I have a swimsuit with my name on it for the summer!

wants to get super fit!
My weigh today and have lost 2lbs which is a bloody miracle! This was one of the few weeks during my diet that I really didn't want to get on the scales - I feel bloated and thought I might've put weight ON! Another week down...........roll on next week! This also means that I've crossed the half way mark and am now counting down rather than up in terms of pounds. It's a nice feeling!!

Chocolate is not a waste of cals^
I feel like im at a standstill,weigh in tomorrow.
Had a really bad week, my friend has died and chocolate seems to make me feel that tad bit better! Sure you all understand BUT i count it in my calories.
The past few days i have not even been meeting my 1000
I know im more than halfway there but i still feel fat!! ARGH!

Aw Vicky at least it isnt a gain and considering the news you had this week I think you've done well to lose that just stay positive hun.
My weigh day is tomorrow fingers crossed I've lost at least 1 too.

sure it's just daily fluctuations, and stress and sadness - sorry to hear about your loss.
maybe you need to recondition yourself not to weigh every day? i got rid of my scales for that very reason - i was becoming obsessive and every teeny gain seemed like a complete failure on my part! now i just weigh myself once a week, and so far it's proving a lot more inspiring!
i know it's terribly difficult - but you're agonising over every pound and it seems to be making you miserable. it may just be best to focus on counting your calories on a day to day basis, then having a once weekly weigh in on the same scales every week. just a suggestion, but it worked for me! good luck hun.
