Jada Petsch's Journal, 24 June 2011

You are doing an incredible job Jada! 61.5 lbs is such a huge accomplishment! I hope you have a great weekend! 

Thank you Dawn!! :D I'm very proud of my 61.5lbs! But still celebrate each little accomplishment! Also I'll usually drop 2-3lbs, then the next morning be up 1-2 lbs again and slowly drop back down. It's just the pattern of it for me. Very much like a roller coaster ride. Excited about the new low, yelling for joy when I shrink a size in clothes, all the anticipation of getting just a little closer to my goal. ^.^ Occasionally I stall, and get a bit discouraged, but I work through it, and push to for a lower scale number or smaller measurements. Really makes me appreciate the losses more when I have to push harder to get them. Have a Great day Dawn and a Wonderful weekend!! :D 

You sound just like me with the flucuations. At first I was like...OMG but then i realized it just must be what my body does. I DO get a little worried when it doesn't go back down for days though. You are so right about really appreciating the losses...even if it's just a lb. I can't wait till I'm able to say I'm 61.5 down! I bet by then YOU will be at or close to your goal! =) You only have 46 to go! THAT is so great! 

I'm a scale addict Dawn. lol. I weigh 2-3 times a day. When I first got it I weighed more often. Then figured out the daily pattern for my body. Even though I weigh 246 this morning. Last night I was 249. I dropped 4lbs over night in water and do so about every day. I'm eatting right, getting a good bit of exercise in. Though most of it just doing housework and playing with my 2yr old. I did get some what I'll term kickboxing in last night while watching tv, but it was only 20mins, then like 10mins of a cool down and stretching before bed. Also read one of Ky8k's posts on her blog last night about monthly fluctuations made alot of sense. I just take it one day at a time Dawn. I took 2 months off and maintained after my hubby came home. Then battled foot issues for a few months. Just have to keep coming back and not let anything stand in your way.  

I was/am? a scale addict. I used to weigh myself like 5 times a day. I now only do it in the morning. I'm going to try to do it every other day starting next week. The flucuations sometimes messes with my head. I really need to only weigh once a week. I'm working myself up to that. I read her blog too and follow her on FB so I will read that post. It sounds interesting. =) Hope all is better with your foot! It's nice to hear others stories and know that it CAN be done. =) 

The scale doesn't bother me, it's just numbers and over the course of a month, they generally move down. ^.^ My foot is mostly better, still have a lump of scar tissue that should go away over the next 3 months, but at least it doesn't cause any pain, soreness, or tingly toe feelings. lol. I read alot of other's journals and posts who have lost weight before me. Ky8k's are Awesome. ^.^ I also love the Before and After pics forum. Lots of inspiration there!
