The Tummy tucking flab busters of BYC 2012 - Page 53

I'm still around, still hanging in w/ the same weight not gaining or loosing, but I'm not doing my yoga regularly either, been trying to build a chicken coop and get the garden started.  But I've been sick this week.

Don't you love the LoseIt app?  I have been doing it faithfully for everything I put in my mouth!  I started logging on 1/14/12 and on 2/21 I have lost a total of 9.3 pounds!!  I cut out all soft drinks, I only drink unsweetened ice tea, water and 8oz of milk (not every day with the milk, but whenever I crave it). Kraft.com has some great reduced calorie meals.  I love the beef stronganoff, very easy to make.  I also weigh & measure everything I eat.  My goal is to lose 67 pounds by 1/3/13!  I walk, do eliptical, ski machine, lift free weights.  I need to increase my exercise.  I have struggled with it since last week.  Today a girl at work told me she could tell I was losing weight, as my pants are getting loose!  Music to my ears!

So many posts I can hardly keep up and I am having a party today and Sunday big diner for New year - Oh your all going to be so far ahead already!!!!!!!!

Oesdog, Is it too late for me to join?  I would love to be a part of the BYC weight loss group!  This is the first time I have made a goal for myself!  I have affirmations on my computer desk, both at work & home, my bathroom mirror!  It is both easy and very hard with this weight loss battle!  Theresa
 

Someone posted this on my FB thought I'd share, it seemed appropiate for this thread.

I don't look overweight but after my last pregnancy I seem to carry most of my extra weight in my belly. I dress to camouflage it but I'm very self conscious and try to remind myself that it is more obvious to me than other people. The other day I was at an antique store with my MiL and SiL and the owner, who is in her 80s, thought I was pregnant. When I said "No, just fat" she asked if I drank a lot of beer, motioning to my stomach (even though I was wearing a cardigan over another loose fitting shirt). It took everything in me to shrug it off and make it out to the car before I burst into tears. I realize the woman is probably a little senile and on top of that was rude and out of line, but ever since I can't look in the mirror without feeling disgusted. Food makes me think of fat and my appetite is gone. I hope this feeling eventually goes away because while I do want to lose weight I don't want to do it unhealthily or wreck my metabolism in the process.

 I am so sorry you experienced that.  I know it still hurts, but I would bet the lady has alzhiemers and would be horrified if she really knew what she was saying.  My Gma had that horrible disease and she too fixated on weight as she worsened.  She would say horrible things like that to people, we tried everything we could do to stop it, but they (the alzheimers pts) just really don't know.  I know who and what my Gma was like before the alziemers and she would have never, ever been so rude.
