I've noticed that alot of us have been using the when-I'm-doing-well term lately (myself included).

Confess?
I've had a few conversations with a couple of the FABULOUS gals on this board lately, and there's a grand total of ...um, well, four people, who I have shared my starting weight with. Now, I don't mean the weight I listed as my start when I used to post stats. I mean, the highest weight I was at, when I very first decided to "do or die", and the weight I never had any intentions of divulging because I didn't want to admit I weighed over 300 lbs.
So here's my confession. Last year on my goddaughter's bday (June 3) I weighed 362 lbs.
May 15th I weighed 268.
June 10 at the dr. office (day I started my period, too) I weighed 262.
Today at the dr, (post period) I weighed 258.
I am officially "outed", and feel better for it. 108 more to go.......
:-)
Well thank God you started this post!

PS - And thank you Mel for coming out of the 'closet'. You get a big stharky hug.
A big part of the problem is I've been eating lots and lots of chocolate. I have cravings for it every day. It's almost like an addiction for me. One bite is just not enough, but also one bite is too much because then I just go overboard. Its like I have no control over my body, my head is saying "NO, I don't want to eat that", but my arm is shovelling it into my mouth anyway. If it wasn't for that my calories every day would be right on track. This isn't really a new issue because I've always had a sweet tooth, but its almost like the more I try to be healthier the more I want the chocolate. I have a feeling this goes hand in hand with whatever mental/emotional block I'm having that's keeping me from losing.
The past 2 months I have been improving with everything else and getting back in the groove slowly but surely. I've upped my exercise by quite a bit. Now instead of just going to Curves 3 times a week I go 4 and I also do 30 mins of exercise on the ellipitcal trainer, recumbent bike, or walk about 5-6 times a week, and I do 20-40 mins of pilates 5 times a week. I've been making better choices in my meals and snacks, eating more veggies than I have ever before. That all sounds great, but there's still that problem of the chocolate. Oh, and it doesn't work for me to just not have it in the house, if I want it bad enough I'll go get some.
So, there you have it, that's why I've been stuck for so long.

confess, confess... I am a scale-aholic lately...
My scale is a kilo one and drives me crazy (2.2 pounds to a kilo), and I get on it every morning! of course, nothing happens...psych!
My mantra for the week... I will not get on the scale...I will not get on the scale...
I remember when I broke from the 200's and I thought I would have a stroke I was so excited...it seemed like for the first time, I realized that I was losing weight (65 pounds at that point)and that I was on my way, even though I didn't have a specific goal in mind...It was only when I created a profile on Atkins that I had a specific goal within a time frame, and I made myself INSANE for a few weeks, and stopped losing weight I was so stressed out. I mean, I really lost in in the sense that I would obsessivley count carbs, skip meals, weigh myself 500 times a day, and drive my poor boyfriend crazy because that's all I would talk about.
I have other things going on as well and I'm sure that's not helping....
And if it makes anyone feel any better, I have ZERO will power around chocolate -
1. The Cadbury Chocolate Creme Egg Incident plus a Russel Stover Coconut Egg
2. 3/4 pound of fudge in one bite
3. FIVE Lindt Truffles
4. 2 Cadbury Eggs last week
On more than one occasion, I have had a really bad day and have treated it accordingly - I used to go buy a Cosmo magazine and a one pound box of assorted choclate, hide in my room and crack out to candy and fluff.
Lovely!
Hugs,
Amy (cranky, disheartened shark)
