181.4

this heat is making it difficult to walk. I am usually a morning walker. but during the week, due to work, I have to walk after work. Considering it has been 100 or more everyday since the beginning of June, this is a challenge.

joasia

I agree with you. I hate the feeling of stress eating. I feel bad about myself and it usually ends in crying.

184.1 this morning

this is to be expected after a week or more of stress binge eating. but today is a new day. the battle continues. the battle of fighting my impulses and excesses.

joasia

179.9 work has started again and I have been stress eating the last few days. the scale shows it. but today is a new day. B= 1 hard boiled egg, one slice white bread with butter, some grapes L = the same with some green juice D = probably spaghetti, cucumber salad, chicken stew with vegetables, and ...

I will take it. I have been really stress eating and not walking

joasia

177. Trying to stay under 180 even when life is nuts

joasia

185.9-186.1

well several days of overeating and the scale doesn't lie. But I am determined to get back on track today. And I am determined to walk after work, no excuses.

B = 1 hard boiled egg, one toast, 1/2 tsp butter, green tea

L =tba
D=tba

joasia

183.5

I have been emotionally eating, roller coaster at work right now, it is no excuse, but that is what is happening

joasia

182.9

yesterday I walked 4 miles

today

breakfast burrito with potatoes, eggs, cheese, taco sauce, avocado
one baby belle cheese

going to walk tonight

joasia

I saw some pictures of my former bigger self. I looked swollen. I don't want to go back there ever again. that is my motivation

joasia

182.8 I maintained over the weekend. My goal is to walk today. food wise - I didn't eat healthy, but I stayed withing weight watchers points, so I'm trying that out, at least for awhile -lean cuisine french bread pizza -1/2 sugar donut and 3/4 of a frosted cake donut, milk -1/2 ham and cheese croiss...

joasia

182.8

ok... new weird development of this cold/flu. I can't hear well out of one ear. on day 4 now. and it won't pop. probably will have to go to the doctor this weekend. I am so ready for this cold to be gone.

joasia

B= 1.85 oz. of homemade banana bread, green tea unsweetened from starbucks L = probably frozen meal because at work, maybe green juice and fruit D - tba I'm really going to try to go for a walk today. It has been about 5 weeks i haven't walked because of this crazy cold/flu i've been battling. altho...

joasia

still struggling to get back on track

joasia

183 B= slice of homemade banana bread, coffee black L= two roast chicken drumbsticks, roast vegetables, 1/2 roast ear of corn, 1 cup of spaghetti with homemade marinara D= tba this is where I falter - evening time, it is when I want to overeat the most, especially if I ate well during the day. Even ...

joasia

I over ate this weekend and that is probably why I wasn't very hungry this morning. but my appetite will be there by lunch, if the past is any indication of the future

joasia

because i overdid it this weekend, my breakfast this morning is light

B = green tea unsweetened, 1 ounce macadamia nuts, one banana, water

joasia

180.6 I will take it! Not a good eating weekend, no exercise, still battling the longest running cold of all time. Going to try to walk today, exterminator coming, if he gets done early, then I will walk. I have had insomnia. If I start eating healthier and walking I am hoping it will help with the ...

joasia

sometimes my body aches after I walk, maybe I need to take a joint supplement

joasia

no not at all. I know everyone always says don't put yourself down etc. It isn't productive. and they are probably correct. I am usually hard on myself. It is what it is. Something I need to work on. This morning 179.5 yesterday I lived it up and indulged. We celebrated cinco de mayo a day early. Ha...

joasia

not a good day eating wise. started out ok. then I chose to overeat B = breakfast burrito, coffee, yogurt, ketchup L= sandwich with ham and cheese, broccoli pasta, then ate ham and cheese while making the sandwich and 6 pieces of licorice after I have no one to blame but me. I'm mad at me. I need to...

joasia

176. something

B =all most all of a sausage, egg, potato, cheese, breakfast burrito, ketchup, coffee black, berry yogurt

joasia

B = 1 cup blueberries

green tea plain
a good start

joasia

178.9

I ate fast food yesterday, but not a lot of it. Trying to eat healthy today, maybe it will help me kick this cold/flu

joasia

181.4

joasia

the office is always a pit for me. I'm stressed out at work to begin with and then at every meeting there is junk presented to devour. Not to mention cake at every birthday, anniversary, wedding, baby, etc. Not to mention end of the month and holiday potlucks. etc. etc. sometimes I win, and sometime...

joasia

I was just curious. If you care to share. Are you an American living in France? We always here the French are so much better with their eating habits (although I know this isn't a universal rule, I know there are over weight French people too). What are your thoughts on that? Being that you live in ...

joasia

appetite vs. stress eating so...I have no sense of taste or smell left because of this cold/flu I have been battling. So why am I stress eating????? Is it the texture of the food? the comfort of feeling full? I always thought it was the taste that was soothing and encouraged me to stress eat. but th...

joasia

180.8

even though I am going on week 3 of the longest most annoying cold, I am going to try to walk today

B = one hard boiled egg, toast with butter, not very hungry, over ate the last two days

joasia

My start BMI was 44.5
now my BMI is 30

anything over 30 at my health is obese, so I am right on the border

joasia

Medically my BMI is right on the border of overweight and obese I'm five foot five, which means that at the highest I should weigh 145-150 pounds. I weigh 180. So technically I have to lose about 30 pounds. I think my blood pressure would benefit from it. But I'd be happy losing 10 more pounds. My f...

joasia

still fighting the flu from hell. It is taking forever to go away. I really want it to go away so I can start walking again

joasia

Just to remind myself and motivate myself

April 27, 2008 268.5 pounds
April 20, 2016 179.7 pounds

8 years, 88.8 pounds down

I can do this

joasia

179.7 this cold/cough will be a lingering one. I am already on day 10. My mom had it for 2-3 weeks. The cough is the worst because it is difficult to sleep. I haven't been walking. surprised by the number on the scale considering that yesterday contained no activity. I started out eating healthy, th...

joasia

didn't weigh myself this morning. needed a break. I have been fighting a lingering cold/flu thing. worst cough ever for 9 days now. hard to sleep with that cough and running a low grade fever 99.5 for days now. doctor said it just needs to run its course. I am trying to increase water intake to flus...

joasia

180. point something. My body seems to like this weight. But I know I have to go down more. one day at a time

joasia

I agree with you oolala. my mind knows what is right, but I don't always do it. It is a struggle. And I am a stress eater. All within my control and all up to me. No one will motivate me but me.

joasia

181.7. I've had the flu so I haven't been walking and I'm eating too much junk

joasia

181.4 yesterday was incredibly stressful all around. I had a dr. appointment. He went over my blood work. Everything looked ok. Cholesterol is a little high. which is to be expected. I still have 30-40 pounds to lose and have been eating not so healthy foods lately (fast food, etc.) Sugar is good. s...

joasia

179/180

does life stress ever let up?

joasia

walked 6 miles yesterday, but still struggling with overeating/stress eating. extra stress seems to trigger binge eating in me. I guess I have a compulsive personality or way of dealing with issues. I have to remind myself that this is a life long battle

joasia

180.4 or point something

I am going to aim for a clean eating and walking weekend. I can do it. this is my goal

joasia

180

yesterday was not pretty. McDonalds, sugar, yeah not good. starting my morning off healthier

joasia

178.9

still struggling but trying

joasia

182.7

ok I am just struggling. Personal and work problems are triggering stress eating. I know it is my fault for giving in to them. but, nevertheless it is happening. I have to reach deep within and find some hope. a reason to keep going. a motivation self talk. it is in there somewhere

joasia

179 this morning. yesterday I didn't walk, too cold and rainy, but today it is on. eating was not great, but I stuck to three meals and although I had sugar, no soda or sugary drinks, so that is good. B = one hard boiled egg, one slice toast with 1/2 tsp. butter, one tangerine L = two fast food taco...

joasia

179.8 I know why I am stuck. I have been snacking, drinking sugary drinks, overeating and not walking. so....even though I am frustrated, I am pretty sure I can only blame myself. I need to start walking daily again. and I need to clean up my eating, so that I can get out of this plateau. I would li...

joasia

I have not been walking consistently, but when I do I just walk around my neighborhood. I've measured the distance with the car, but I'm sure a pedometer would be more accurate. I'm not familiar with the trail, is it near Redlands?

joasia

181.2

walked 6 miles yesterday

joasia

185. I am struggling. this morning I bought a doughnut, thought better, and threw it away. I'm trying not to be discouraged

joasia

I know this is going to be a life long struggle. but some days I get frustrated by it. I feel that I have come a long way, but I still have a long way to go. and I want to eat more than my body needs to lose. I just hate that this has to feel like a daily struggle.

joasia

There was no pie part in the fact that there is no pastry if that's what you mean or crust. But you are correct. Cheese is addicting

joasia

My downfall. Pasta, sauce, and lots of cheese. Cheese is my weakness

joasia

B = about one cup spaghetti pie, green juice 16 oz. (kale, spinach, celery, etc. juice cold pressed) L= a larger serving of spaghetti pie, 1 cup stewed cabbage, large kaiser roll with butter I over did it with the spaghetti pie, a lot of cheese. but I have avoided sugary drinks, snacking, and candy/...

joasia

come on 160s

joasia

179.5

My trouble time is in the evening. I do well during the day when I try, but then at night I want to eat everything in sight. today is a new day

joasia

you are right. I guess plateaus are just frustrating because you feel like they will never go away or you will never leave them. 179.8 this morning. I have not been walking or eating well. I don't know why I am slacking. Laziness really. but everyday is a new chance to do better. so I need to remind...

joasia

179.3 I am stuck in a plateau again, sigh

joasia

180.1

I have not been eating healthy or walking as much as I should. the goal for today is to walk and eat healthy. a group is walking mt. rubidoux after work, and my goal is to meet them there and o with them. onward and upward.

joasia

Over eating I meant to write

joasia

181.1. It has been a very stressful week. And although I'm not proud of it , I've turned to overrating as a coping mechanism. And I haven't been walking. The scale shows it. I have to remind myself that I have to focus on not stressing, thinking with my head and not my heart, and taking care of my h...

joasia

thank you Reinhard. And for all of those of you who think you can't do it. You can. It took me 9 years and 500,000 failures. or even more. and I'm still not at goal weight. but one of the most important keys is to never give up. to get back up after a failed week month months etc. there were times w...

L CORN DOG< SALAD< MILK<CANNED FRUIT

joasia

weird how weight works. today I expected a gain, because I ate way too much the other day. and I was actually down almost a pound. My goal for this week is not to weigh myself daily. I know it makes me crazy and yet I still do it

joasia

I have been yo yoing between 173.5 and 179.5. I have eaten a little more in the last few days and it shows on the scale right away. still struggling after all these years and I will keep going. yesterday I pigged out on not healthy food. so ..... today is back to it. packed my lunch and am going to ...

joasia

183.1 I will take it!!!!!!!!!! yesterday was a full moon, a bad case of pms, a bad case of holiday blues, hmmmmmmmm what other excuses can I come up with for emotionally eating like a crazed pig? So the fact that I'm up 3-4 pounds today, is a pleasant surprise. I thought the gain would be a lot wors...

joasia

Well I gained 10 pounds. 183.5 this morning. Still better than 268 but this is not the direction I want to be going. Holiday potlucks of delicious food are not helping. But if it is to be its up to me

For the first time in ten years my blood pressure was low! Dr had to cut bp meds in half! Couldn't believe it

Overrate today. Tomorrow is a new day

joasia

I have not been strict with my nos at all. that is why it took years. there were years where I lost nothing. and now I have hit a plateau. it is getting frustrating. I'd like to break out of it
