The Official Unisex 100+ Pounds to Lose Thread - Page 59

Chocoholic89 · 03-16-2011, 02:34 PM

After being stuck at 236 for two weeks straight for no apparent reason, I've lost 2.2lbs this week. I can't remember the last time I actually saw 233, its been a really long time! I missed my first mini goal by 2 days, but I still consider it a win, the plateau decided to break when it wanted to! All I changed was a bit more exercise, and stopped stressing myself out about eating too much. Actually starting to like working out, and I never ever thought that would happen! I'm going to be ready for 5 lb weights soon, and I could barely lift the 3lb ones when I started

Well, I don't know.....YES! Of course we'd love to have you on board.

I'm kind of embarrased that I now have less than 100 to go myself--perhaps I should rename our thread

.

Seriously, though, everyone here is or has been in a similar situation, which is what makes this great. Unless you've been 100 (or in my case, well over 200) pounds overweight you just don't understand the challanges we face.

So, post away!

Regards,
Michael

Over 200 pounds. That's incredible. When are we gonna get to see some before & after shots Michael?

Just promise you'll stick around here even after you meet your goal.

Good job so far bobby

As far as the salad dressing goes, check one of your natural food markets for a dressing that is completly calorie free...I wish I know the name of the brand I found down here so I could recomend it because it is really good, but I'm sure that there are others available too. I found that it was really runny, but tasted great, so I decided to make a jar of 1/2 of the calorie free and 1/2 of regular style. That way I can have my regular serving of dressing (about 2T) with only half of the regular calories

Good luck and continued success on your journey

Thanks jen, great job quitting too!
i'll try to find that dressing. I usually only use a tbsp of dressing anyways so its not so bad, dressing is about 60 calories and vegetables are only like 8-16 calories. So all together its only a 100 calorie max salad. Which I'm okay with. But I will for sure look for that other dressing, because I could always do with LESS calories for more food

xD

BUT either way is still better then junk food. lol
