Just under 11lbs in just under 4 weeks! I feel good about this. Keeping the momentum going. Sorry if I am driving you all batty with calorie counts!!
Update: so apparently I can't read a calendar. It has been brought my attention that I started on this whole calorie counting/portion control/exercise journey on August 19th - not just under 4 weeks ago, 18 days ago. 2 weeks and 4 days. I am sure I won't keep up this pace, but wow I am feeling good right now!!
I feel accomplished. I set out to reach a goal and I succeeded. Health/weight wise I really don't feel any different. (I might have more energy.) It hit me this morning that I am not HUNGRY all the time and that using MFP (myfitnesspal.com) really doesn't bother me - I could make this work! Unlike all those times I tried weight watchers, I could see myself doing this for a year and not wanting to pull my hair out. Then I thought about what the results of a year would be and I got excited!! I am HAPPY!!! You were right, the goal was completely doable. Now I am looking at my next short term 10 lb goal and thinking long term as well!! I also want to say THANK YOU! Not only are you inspiring in your own journey, but you comment and support mine! It helps me to know that when I post something there will be at least one other person that will take notice so THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteSame here! (The battle started to get really bad around 17/college though - prior to that 3 sport seasons a year plus summer ball kept me in semi check.) I always joke that my smallest since age 17 was when I was 7 months pregnant - best damn diet ever having HG. The thing that kills me is that I tried WW again literally 3 months ago - I lost 5 pounds and then would yo-yo. SO FRUSTRATING. I am glad we both seem to have found something that is working for us!
ReplyDeleteI have definitely gone the quality over quantity route as well.
No worries there is mutual heart melting :-D
