Lost some more weight!

Congrats!

Wow, that's crazy!
That's a lot of weight to lose in such a short time.
I'm actually trying to drop some as well - I'm not counting carbs, but rather going biking more often, and occasionally jogging.
I hope to see some of the same results that you got recently.

Well good for you! Slow but steady is more healthy.

Hi there!

Congratulations with the weight loss! I guess it's more effective when you don't expect that much and exercise while having fun. It's great to know that you can quit worrying and just do what you can and be pleasantly surprised by the result.

Hey! Congratulations!!! Isn't it amazing that things like this happen when our backs are turned? I've noticed the same thing.

I gained weight (over 50 pounds) from the drug, Paxil. Then, I was switched to Zoloft and managed to lose a bit of it, but not much. Once I was taken off Zoloft, I started eating healthier and, without noticing it, I began losing even more weight. Once the weight started coming off, I was able to move around more which helped me to lose even more weight.

I can't exercise in the traditional sense because of my disabilities but I do force myself to do more walking than I really want to and it sure does help! I think calorie-watching is like waiting for a watched pot of water to boil. It always seems faster when we're not looking. This is especially true about weight because of that very thing you mentioned: cortisol.

Just keep trying to do your thing without thinking about it. Maybe if you have "think healthy" in your head instead of "think thin", you'll be able to continue your diet and exercising with more success.

Keep up the good work!

Congratulations! I'm the same way, when I worry I store a ton, if I'm carefree and just doing life I am better off. Weight goes up and down anyhow for various reasons but if it is consistantly going down each month you are doing really well. Keep up the hard work!

I've plateaued myself, but I keep doing my Wii daily. I fell last weekend and bruised my knee, hip, and ankles, and wrists so working out has been difficult but I do try to do a bit so I don't loose my rhythm.
