Wednesday Weigh In
Comments

Down one lb to 157. Slowly but surely beginning to move in the right direction - interval training is helping.

Down 1.3 lbs this week...I'm pretty happy about that especially considering there's a ton of leftover Halloween candy in this house!

Down 1.8 on Monday. Back to Lifetime status so I can attend WW meetings and use Etools for free. I will continue to try to lose more weight.

weighing in a day late, didn't get on BCO yesterday. Up a bit because I bought Girl Scout cookies and cannot resist them. Darn those little diet-busters! (as if it's not my own fault)

Hello Friends,
Same this week...
Must be building muscle or something because nothing much has changed. I hate plateaus! But trying to take the long view and just keep going.
Have a good week all,

Down 100 grams. My Girl Scout bought cookies and I was able to resist them...until now. Chomp, chomp. Yum. That's my cookie quota for the week.

I was bad. Ate a bunch of junk. Up 1. And the sad thing is I didn't even enjoy it. Its not like I had a great meal at a fabulous restaurant. Or even good chocolate. It was staleish candy bars and frozen pizza time. Blarg. Got to climb back on the wagon, just hope I don't fall off and really hurt myself.

Well, I just about fell off the scale this morning - up 4 lbs to 164.5!!! I mean seriously, 4 lbs?? Yeah, I overindulged at a football party Sunday, and my exercise has been down, but 4 lbs?? There's no way I could lose that much weight in a week, but apparently I certainly can gain it. And the next two weeks are temptation city. This is my choir concert week, so that means getting take out after work while rushing to dress rehearsals and concerts. Saturday I am going away with the girls for a couple of days for a fun weekend in New Hampshire, and Tuesday we drive down to my daughters for Thanksgiving - enough said about that. So, I won't be checking in next Wednesday, but I hope I'm not up another 4 lbs the next time I come back!

Ate too much, and like Cindy, it was nothing fun, just junk eating. Up one....need to get it off before next weekend hit.

Up .9 - ugh.

Down 3 to 145.
Got the ok to exercise. I had been getting into cycling prior to my diagnosis and have been very bummed to just sit these last many weeks after racking up some good miles on my bike. And now it is too cold to ride, plus its WAY to bumpy out here for my still recovering and expanding self! DH bought me a recumbent exercise bike this past weekend and I rode 10 miles today. I love the bike!! The huge seat makes my left "cheek" go numb, but I'm working on a solution to that. Anyway I can read the whole time I'm on it, so it's like guilt-free book time!! Plus I hate exercise and a really good book can distract me enough to keep on pedaling.
See you next Wednesday! 10-15 to go.0 -
Up .5 to 134 again. I'm blaming it on the weekend trip that was our birthday present to each other. I don't regret a single bite of the California veggie burger and awesome fries. We didn't go hiking because it was bitterly cold.

Pat01, don't feel so bad about the gain. Last week I was so pleased that I had managed to lose one pound. This week that pound is back, and I'm 158 again. I am my own worst enemy, because on Saturday I made lemon and white chocolate biscotti as well as cranberry and white chocolate squares as a welcome gift for our new neighbours. I kept some, and I've been munching on those since Saturday. What did I expect? I know the sugar and white flour is so bad for me, but I keep doing it. At least I am keeping my weight steady at 158, but I really need to lose. Have been researching Tamoxifen and weight issues, and the studies show that it is actually chemo and radiation that change and slow the metabolism, and that Tamoxifen is not the culprit. It even causes weight loss in some people. Ughhhhh . . . . what to believe???? Oh well, off to the gym now. Have to keep soldiering on. Thanks for listening!

Pat01, don't feel so bad about the gain. I'm back at 158 after the 157 of last week. Made lemon biscotti and white chocolate cranberry squares on Saturday to welcome my new neighbours, kept some, and have been munching on them ever since. I know the sugar and white flour are bad for me, so what am I thinking? Have also been doing some research on Tamoxifen and weight gain. According to the studies chemo and radiation are the culprits which really slow down and wreak havoc on our metabolism, not Tamoxifen. Some people actually have weight loss as a side-effect of Tamoxifen. Oh well, at least I've been at the same weight for a long time now, and have not gained. Just have to soldier on, work harder in the gym, and have better self control. Thanks for listening!

I was down to 158 this morning. Down 10 lbs in 5 (or 6?) weeks. Hope to keep losing and get down to 150 or maybe 148. Managed to squeeze into a pair of size 12 jeans today.

Made some movement in the right direction! I am down by 1.4 pounds.
Trying to keep up the healthy eating and exercise as we head into this busy holiday week. I need to remember that it's Thanksgiving DAY feasting and not Thanksgiving WEEK feasting like in the past.
49.2 lost and 55.8 to go. I'm almost half way to healthy and fit!
Gratefully,
Charlotte0 -
Yay Charlotte! Good for you. It's so easy to lose motivation when the dieting seems never ending. I've been stalled at 1/3 of the way to 100 lbs for a long time so I know what will power you've shown.

Thanks for the encouragement Cindyl!
I've been working on this for almost 2 years now. So, I'm not exactly moving at lightening speed, but I'm going in the right direction. The last few months I've been committed to eating consistently healthy and exercising more and I've made much more consistent progress, (duh!).
Someone on this thread correctly labeled this group the "running scared club" and I think that is so very true. First and foremost I'm trying to get rid of all those little estrogen producing fat cells!
All the best on your weight loss journey!

Another Weds not on BCO - crashed hard on the couch after supper last night.
Did weigh in Weds a.m. Same weight as last week but not a gain so I'll take it!

I would like to join the group here. I need some motivation. I gained a ton of weight. It's odd I was at my weight watcher goal right about the time I was diagnosed. I maintained it all through my bmx and chemo. Then I got my TEs and half way through my fills I went back to work part time and gradually stopped tracking my food and stopped exercising. I was up 30 pounds and went back on plan for a while and went back down about 9 pounds. I was hoping to lose it all before my nipple surgery but i did not. So had the surgery 2 weeks ago and packing the pounds back on. I need motivation. I don;t know if this is the place if you have ideas of where to share this I will go there. I am trying to accept my new body. My PS did a great job. But I feel disgusted with my weight gain and I need to kick it in gear.

Welcome! You have the motivation already. Posting every Wed seems to really help me stay on track. There's also an exercise thread where people post their exercise. There's a what's for dinner? thread where people post pretty healthy dinner ideas. It's really hard to lose during the holidays because so many things are food centered, so if you can maintain without gaining you'll be good. I think Jan is national diet month.

hi Carroll2 and welcome! Please join us on the Let's Post our Daily Exercise thread, a great group of women. All shapes & sizes and levels of fitness. It's motivating to have to post exercise daily, because I have to do it to post it.

Thanks for the welcome. I can only jsut start to get back to my exercise starting next week and then gradually. But I have bakers systs behind my knees so I am doing stretching exercises 2x a day for that.

In the time that I've been posting here I've realized that this will be a long process of trying to maintain a healthy weight. I blame it on the meds. You can always try to get more exercise but it seems the body catches on after a while. So you have to tweak something else, including doing different exercises to shock the body. Anyway I don't mean to discourage anyone, least of all Carroll. But this will be a long journey so there's no hurry in a way. Stretching is a great beginning.
Up 300 grams.

Down one. My goal is to eat whatever I want to eat tomorrow, and then get back on track. I am NOT hosting Thanksgiving (for the first time in many years), so that will be easier as there will be no yummy leftovers to contend with.

ruth me too. Gonna eat what I want pretty much this week and then go weigh in at weight watchers next week and face the music.
I feel so fat right now it's really disheartening. It's so weird cause I was so thin and tone when I had my bmx . I had just lost 23 pounds before diagnosed. SO after my bmx I did not have recon right away and when I woke up I was so afraid to look and my reaction and my sister too was that I looked so thin and athletic. I embraced that look but eventually felt kind of butch after a while and began to look forward to recon. Now that I have my new boobs they look too small cause my big gut is detracting from them. I am trying to get motivated to get thin again, It was suggested to take an old pic of myself and hang it on the fridge but the only thin pics i have also have my old boobs so that wont work for me. Also old pics are jsut that old pics of a younger me beofre I got fat grey and and my face fell. waaaaaahhhhh!!!
sorry to vent i just really needed to do that.

Down .9 lbs for a total of 36. I'm making a peach cranberry crisp as my contribution to the feast. A little heavy on the sugar, but everything else should be good. Peaches, cranberries, oats...that nutrition.

Down 1.5 to my previous low of 132.5. Found out last night that we're having fish for Thanksgiving. Actually a good thing--not much fattening goes with fish. DH made apple pie and may make a pumpkin pie there. About ready to start our 4.5hr rainy trip.

Well, yesterday I was down 1 1/2. But today, on weigh in day of course, I'm up 1!! Rude! And I did not eat much yesterday, but I've always fluctuated a lot like that....so I think I'll call it a wash for this week. The great thing is that I'm finally gaining some energy (5 weeks post BMX) and I rode 11 miles last night. Yay!!!!
