hey my lady! definitely agreeing with lauren on getting your water in -
weight fluctuates all the time 'n maybe today was just an "up". have some
advice for you though - i tried the whole "where i'm supposed to be at" on
a calendar - found it to be more disheartening the bigger the gap got
between what i was, and what i was supposed to be. goals are GREAT but
maybe take it one step at a time. if youre anything like me, youll start to
feel discouraged and give up. DONT GIVE UP! u can do this!! :D
Ohhhh your son is gorgeous.... I finally caught up with all your videos,
and I can totally see your weight loss from your first video till now, you
look great!!! I know how frustrating it can be gaining weight when you are
doing everything right, but luckily its only 1 pound. Do everything you
said, including not having an 1800 cal day and maybe you will get a swoosh
of weight loss that you want, and if you don't, just keep it up, your body
will have to let go of the fat sometime!! =) cindy
It's so frustrating when you're doing all the right things and you gain
weight. If you feel puffy you probably are retaining water. I would look at
how you're seasoning your food and make sure you're using things like Mrs.
Dash, etc. There are lots of other great tasting seasonings out their. 1100
calories sounds like a lot. I thought we were supposed to stay under 1000,
but maybe your doctor told you something different. Are you measuring and
eating no more that 1/2-1 cup of food per meal?
@losingitwithrebecca I don't think I'm eating too much salt, we'll find out
tomorrow lol! I'm sweating, but i'm not DRIPPING sweat, I definitely need
to work on that. I wear a heart rate monitor so I know I"m in the right
range for a good fat burning workout but I can always work harder, right? I
don't go to the gym, I ride the recumbent bike or treadmill at home and we
also have hand weights up to 15 lbs. I'm using the 5 lb-ers right now.
Thanks for the pep talk girl!
@becksgetsbanded I drank 80+ oz of water today, so cross your fingers for
me that I have a better weight tomorrow! I don't know what to do about the
calendar. It's still possible to get to 199 by new years, I just have to
kick ass. I might see where I'm at in a couple weeks and then adjust my
chart so I'm not discouraged. Thanks for the support girlie, hope you're
having a blast on your vacation! :)
@CinThruThickNThin Thanks Cindy! I've been pretty dang good this week and
tomorrow is my weigh in. I'm really hoping to be at least 2 lbs down. I
have my fill on Friday and I can't wait! I'm actually looking forward to
being on liquids for 48 hours, haha! Thanks for the compliment and for your
support. I love watching your videos and your accent is awesome. :)
Are you consuming too much salt? GOOD job with the exercise! :D Vitamins?
Protein first? Sounds like you hit all the marks, though. Going to the
bathroom? Circus in town? LOVE doing the WL chart - I find it very helpful!
Fill will do you good! Are you SWEATING when you work out ~~what are you
doing at the gym? Dex is cute as ever. Have a good week!!
@SunnyRain247 Thanks for the tips on Mrs. Dash, I'm gonna try that! Never
even thought of that...my surgeon says to shoot for 800-1200 calories, and
I've always had a 2lbs average loss when I'm on point and following my band
rules. I eat 1 cup or less per meal. Thanks for the suggestions, I
appreciate it! :)
@swish You're very welcome. I know how frustrating it is when you're doing
everything right and things aren't going your way. And it's tough when you
have little ones. Busy busy time in your life. Don't worry. The weight will
start coming off again. :)
Well you look radiant! I can get your frustration! Im sure you will see the
weight loss next week.. Its happens sometimes.... Cant understand it but it
does happen...It seems sometimes my body has a 2 week delay at times!!!!!!!
Good luck !
@melijean36 I've noticed a 2 week delay for me before too!!! (in good
losses AND bad losses!) I really hope to catch up some next week, thanks
for the compliment! I appreciate your support so much!
@swish Glad to hear it!!!! Thank you so much!!! LoL, I never really thought
of my self as having an accent, where does it sound like I'm from to you??
=) Cindy
@MrsTenaciousC Thank you very much! That means a lot to me :) I know, I was
the exact same way. BFing didn't help me lose a lot of weight, either, but
remember: you are doing THE BEST thing for your child and it will be so
beneficial in the end! Keep it up, momma :) I'm sure you'll lose the weight
you want to! It's hard to stay positive with body image postpartum, that's
still hard for me, but it sounds like you have a great attitude about it!!
I'm so proud of you! You're still inspiring me :) I still haven't lost any
weight though damn BFing...hahaha I have the rest of my like to get skinny
again though so I try to remind myself of that. I sure wish i was one of
those girls that it just melted off from BFing though! LOL You're doing
great juggling being a mom, student and taking care of yourself you should
be very proud!
omg! you look incredible! absolutely flawless :) and yes the one year mark
is very hard! Hope you get better soon! there is nothing worse then being
sick and having a baby...or toddler haha. I don't know how you go to
college too! You doing such a great job! xo
@familyfairytale Thank you!! :) I honestly don't know how I complete school
and parent at the same time, but somehow, it's all working out! It's really
hard and stressful, but thank God I only have one year left!!
