Team Skinny...Nov. 2013...Thanks for dropping lbs (Page 2)

I'm a little late to the party, but I want to play.

Today - 113.5

Goal - 109

I was down under 105 in August and while 8lbs might not seem like that much, i'm only 4'11" so it shows alot more on me than someone 6" taller.

11/1 - 128.4
11/8 - 128.8

Struggling here...!

back in, a little late.  Don't know what my 10/31 weight was, so going from here...   Goal is to maintain <190 for the off season, then drop to 180-185 for next race season. 

11/7 - 190.2

.4 pounds? Throw in the towel!

Haha I know it sounds dramatic.. those numbers are not the whole story though.
For the past few weeks I will have an "off" day or low blood sugar and eat stuff that makes me feel better but I KNOW will blow me up like a balloon - eating that stuff because I feel so depleated from day after day after day of being good. In turn, my weight will shoot up 4 pounds and it takes me all week to get it back down to where I started. This is the 2nd week I've gained this amount so it's frustrating and not a pattern I want to continue.

Time to suck it up

That's interesting actually. One day of carbs per week is doing that? I used to run a fairly strict diet (4 Hour Body) where I HAD to gorge on HGI carbs one day per week so that my body didn't start storing fat by "accidentally" going into starvation mode. In fact I've got a pasta dinner planned for Sunday evening (yes, already) for just such an occasion. Is it possible you are low on overall calories and/or close enough to your "ideal" weight that your body is fighting back? .4 pounds is about 1 cup of water.

My guess is the bolded.
I'm eating a lot of calories, but very little carbs.

Well git R dun and good luck!

What do you have in your diet still that isn't the healthiest? Or you could flip it around and add one healthy thing to every meal or every day as another way to eat healthier (just a thought).

Good job on dropping the soda! That one was a tough one for me too!

How about cutting back to processed food no more than one meal a day if you want to go the removal route? Or if you're already there, one day a week. Baby steps and all. 

If green veggies don't do it for you ... add in more fruit per day? I know not the same, but it might help you cut other things in favor of it.

Either way, good luck and best success!

Nice job on your race, especially if you were in pain before it!
