Xylie, With that much water, did you take in enough salt? Being salt deprived will make me weak and sicky feeling. I thought you had decided 150 was a reasonable goal. If you have heavier bones than I do, that's a good goal for our height. BTW, you want to build muscle. It burns more calories and protects bones from injury, etc. I'd love to turn the fat in my body to muscle. I was one of those with a 21 inch waistline. Made finding clothes very interesting as I was normal sized above and below the waist. I went into the hospital to have my third child with a 26 inch waist. Funny the things we remember.
I went back to my TV exercise program yesterday. I love it, though I wish it each section were longer. It's a very quick 30 minutes. The Senior center offers Tai Chi and chair yoga, but that means getting up in the morning and getting myself over there. I have a script for physical therapy, but my copay is $30 a session, so that's a problem. I need to pay my house insurance before I worry about that.
My weight is so stuck. I keep forgetting to try on my smallest pants to see how many inches I have to go. BTW, I think a 12-14 is a very reasonable size - a normal 12 or 14 from Penney's, not a fancy designer one that would be an 18 or 20 in the real world. I don't what that translates into men's jeans sizes. They don't work for me. If you're an apple, I'm a pear. I do think these rocker shoes have slimmed my backside somewhat. That's not why I wear them. My foot couldn't bend when the nerve damage was bad and these babies don't bend.
Looks like I've rambled enough for now. Y'all have a good day. Like Rita's mom said, "Eat small and healthy."
I AM losing weight - the scales just don't know it. Judy
A 26 inch waste.Lucky you.I don't think I'll ever be that.But a 32 is duable for me,as I look good in them when I can get my butt back into them.Just now at 38.Better than 53 where I was.Ya,I think I'm big boned.Maybe not.And being solid,I can carry extra weight and get away with it.No body would ever guess I weighed as much as I did.I put on my 18/20 pants today,and their now too big.So must be a 16/18 now.Well,I got lots of big nice bras,and panties that fall off now.In fact I have to empty all my drawers out and get smaller underware that fits me better.And my fingers,I use to wear a 8,and now I have a size 6 1/2 gold wedding band on.And my feet,Wore a 9,now wear 8.Everything shrinks.My boobs are disapearing tho.Thank god I bought some Rhonda Sheer bras that shrink with me and still fit good.Ya,mine is in the belly.Like now,I have thin legs and arms,lost my double chin way back.Was glad to see that go.And am lucky my skin isn't sagging.Guess because I'm solid and do have muscles.I can't exercise either,but I've always been strong and worked hard jobs.Worked cannery's,cooking,waitressing,washing dishes,worked in the fields riding spud diggers from daylight to sundown 18 hrs a day throwing dirt clauds off the belt.Of course didn't know they were 1 to 2 ft across when I signed up.Thought,ya,I can toss the clauds off,no problem.NOT! Then when the trucks weren't there,I got off the digger and threw potatoes in the hopper while the tractor was moving.And had to keep up.18 hrs a day.Looked like a racoon at night when I got home,I was dirt head to toe.I was probably 150 pounds then,and age 24 yrs old.That was a fun job.LOL!Then thought I'd hoe onions.Well,my god,those rows were I swear a mile long.And in the sun all day.Ya,my friend lasted 1 day.She was bitchy for 3 days afterwards sore from the work.I did 3 days and found a job cooking at the Kings Table.At least I was in doors.So,have worked hard jobs.No pencil pushing for me.Back then,if we didn't work,we didn't eat.Anyway,that's why I'm all banged up and shot now.Had disabilities to begin with,so all that hard work on top of it finished me.
