Karen, I agree with you. I had to say NO to all of it, simply because I could not handle having a "small" amount. I think I could now, but I'm not willing to test my theory just yet. It was really hard at first, but I think looking back, it was easier than trying to moderate myself and then feeling guilty and shameful when I couldn't. I recently gave up white flour. I am surprised to report I feel wonderful, and I really don't miss it at all. I admit I had already gone to whole wheat/whole grain on most everything, but I finally just took the plunge and went all the way.
I am firmly under 160 for the first time in a very long time. I am losing slowly, but surely and I like it that way. I don't have to guess what I need to eat or how much I need to eat in order to maintain my loss. I worked out a bit too vigorously last week so I ended up having to take a few days off, but I cleaned my house top to bottom yesterday and I'm sore today, so I guess I'm back on track lol. Back to the gym tonight for me.
Molly, you are awesome. I don't think I've ridden a bike in years, but you make me wanna go out and get one. It's beautiful outside today, and I've already gotten the babies out on the porch and now everyone is sleeping soundly. Ahhhh, I forget sometimes to take a deep breath and enjoy the little moments.
PS - I ordered some smocks to cover my clothes so that I didn't continue to ruin them while keeping babies, and they finally arrived - THEY ARE TOO BIG LOL! I've never been so excited to return something in my life :)

Well, I did eat 1 1/2 brownies and four cookies, but for my bedtime snack, I'm eating three clementines and a glass of milk, instead of more brownies.

I'm really discouraged. I haven't quit yet, but I'm really discouraged. I do not understand how I can be mindful of my eating and working out, and instead of any loss over the course of 1/2 week (since Friday) - I've gained instead?
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. I can only handle plateauing for so long before I give up. I don't know if I should seek outside help from either a nutritionist or a doctor, if I should try a different eating plan, or what.
*sigh*

I ended up eating the brownies, as well as some candy.
Started over today though.

Betty, I know that feeling all too well. I might be wrong, but your body might be building muscle, which weighs more than fat. This doesn't show up on the scale, but it will help your body as you continue to slim down. Don't give up, you can do it, because all things are possible with God!

After pondering and consulting with DH-of-awesomeness, I decided to revamp what I'm doing. One of the things I read re: being stuck in plateau's is to change up what you're doing and keep the body guessing. So, I'm temporarily modifying my food intake toward lower carbs and modifying my workouts. We got stronger resistance bands for EA active, and starting today I'm going outside to attempt the Couch to 5K program.
Last night in my EA active workout I had a few "runs" into the program, and the longest I jogged for 4 minutes. Couch to 5K starts with 60 secs jogging, 90 secs walking, so I think I'll be okay. It'll be nice to be outside, anyway.
DH is sticking with his current eating plan, as it is still working marvelously for him. I'm so proud of him!

Betty-Mellissa might be right. If you are doing resistance exercises you may be building muscle and losing fat which would show no movement on the scale, while still resulting in an improvement in body composition. Though do keep in mind a pound of fat and a pound of muscle both weigh a pound....LOL. The muscle just takes up significantly less room.

Also dont forget it is not just about numbers on the scale-its about doing good things for your body; getting regular exercise and limiting the processed junk we put in it.

I lost a stone (14lbs) between mid-December and end-January, and have spent the last month returning my eating to "normal" and keeping it off. I've succeeded in that, and it's great! But now I would like to do this again and lose another stone. That would make me just "overweight" on the BMI scale, and not "obese", which would definitely be a good thing!
Congrats Manda! I've found that keeping those long term goals in mind help keep me focused.
Keep up the good work ladies!

Ofa-those calories seem way too low. Are you seeing a doctor or nutritionist?
Surefire way to trash your metabolism is too eat too few calories.....

I haven't checked my BMI in a while, and not at all since I've lost 18 lbs, so I need to do that. It might give me additional motivation LOL!
Good job, Manda! (I had actually been wondering what a "stone" equaled in pounds, so now I know) Harvie, I am so inspired by your biking adventures lately! I would love to ride a bike again. Just trying to find time to get to the gym has been a real challenge this week. It's cold some part of the day, not so much others, but trying to schedule around the kids is exhausting in and of itself. I have done some weight training and I saw the scale inch up a pound, but that's due to the weight training I am sure of it. My legs are still very sore from my workout on Tues, so I'm thinking I'll just do upper body this evening after the elliptical.
I haven't tracked my eating for the past two days, and I induleged in a few things I shouldn't have over the course of the past few days, so I'm getting back on track first thing this morning. I think one of the keys to success is getting right back on track as soon as you realize you've gotten off the right path. Not waiting until the results show up on the scale or on your hips!

I just found the answer.
This article also helps to explain how to measure your progress in other ways besides the scale.

Well my diet revamp is working...the scale is going back down. Today will be day 2 of couch to 5K...and this weekend DH and I will have to go shoe shopping because mah tennies are falling apart! I'm just hoping the rain will stay away this afternoon when I go out...
Last night we had dinner at MILs...I'm proud to say that I did NOT have dessert there (ice cream sandwich pie). I knew it would be just too many sugars and carbs. However, yesterday at the store I did buy some sugar free pb cups...and treated myself to one. SO MUCH YUM. Even though there's sugar alcohols, the calorie count is not much better than regular PB cups, but it was nice to have a little mini treat.

My mother died on Wed morning. I have not been able to get to the gym. Just too much going on. I am super proud of myself though, as eating is something to do, and although I am not eating the best things, am keeping the calories down. :) So I had Taco Bell yesterday, but that was all I had all day. So I am getting my comfort carbs.
Tonight will be the hardest, as my mom's cousin is flying down and we are meeting up with him and my brother for dinner. Nice to reconnect, but I am going to have to be so careful about my choice.

I am going back to the treadmill. I feel like I am capable of getting a better workout and less damage to my knees. Maybe when I get the weight and physical shape I am aiming for I might try it outside again. But untl then I just want to stay on track with my weight and fitness goals.

MARRIED TO A MILITARY PILOT 
PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS! 
Now, what I ate today wasn't all that nutritional, so I am going to work more on that this week.
