It very well could be... i've been trying to figure this out for a while lol... maybe i just walk slow... i do have very short legs lol... all i know is 1.5 is comfortable 2.0 is fast and 2.5 has me jogging... outside of that i have no idea... lol it doesnt help that i have no concept of distance, let alone the difference between miles an kilometers... i just figured since i'm in Canada the treadmill company might cater to that but probably not lol

Ya be careful--you're dieting so you need all the nutrient-dense foods you can get! Stick to calcium and iron rich, protein-laden things!

Congrats on the weight down!!!!!!!!!

Defionately agree... it's just by the end of the day i'm only at 1500 Calories for the day so i'm like hmm chocolate bar or rice cakes for a snack... :S lately the chocolate and chips have been winning... i blame my husband for having them in the house. in such abundance at that... but yeh i'm going to try to start keeping my nighttime snacks down to popcorn rice cakes and salads... stuff like that..

well today has been just f-ing wonderful so far... i've spent the entire morning arguing with my 4 year old to hurry up and eat her breakfast, by the time she finished breakfast it was lunch time!
then as i was undressing myself and my son I realized he dropped one of his boots on the way home from dropping my daughter off and ended up having to just about run all the way back to the school and get it (on the up side that is and extra 10 minutes or so of a walk shortened by a run).
Finally just as i shut the door, my daughters new bedframe that i had propped up behind it fel into my ankle creating an instant swollen bruise... nice... It hurt almost as bad as the pot lid i dropped on my toes yesterday
I don;t think it will affect my ability to excersize, but i'm thinking i'm going to take my only quiet time of the day and use it to just chill out for a bit instead...

stepped on the scale this morning since i was naked anyways and was shocked to see 196.8... usually my weight is higher in the morning then in the afternoon when I actually take the numbers... It's only 4 ounces and honestly is probably all water weight since i havent been drinking as much as usual the last couple of days (out of water bottles and just can't seem to drink as much without them)... but yeah it was just a shocker so I thought i'd share

I always take my official weight first thing in the morning. I figure it's the most consistent part of the day.

I would, if i didnt sometimes weigh 5 lbs more first thing in the morning... for some reason a few hours after i've been up and moving around my weight drops significantly... not sure why... but i do make a point to weigh myself at the same time every day for consistency

so i stepped on my scale this afternoon before my shower and saw 195... im skeptical since my water intake has been rather shallow the last few days and i'm sure it's just water weight... so until it's been a few days where ive been drinking water properly i refuse to change my ticker

So I've definately been drinking more water again and my weight still sits at 195 so i'm going to say i got that in the bag... it may have been water weight at the time and i just cought up with it but who knows I'm taking it
so far in the 6 week challenge i've gone down 8.4 lbs... not sure i see where it's comming from but i'll assume it has to be comming from somewhere (definately not my hips )
I also set up another challenge with wii fit to lose 10 lbs in 2 months and less then a month laster i only have like 3 lbs to go so that is sweet. Wii fit his this bar when you weight in that show underwheight, normal, overweight and obease... well i have been stuck at the top of that bar since i got it on october... well it's no longer maxed out at the top of obease, it's finally comming down a bit which feels pretty nice... lol i can't wait to just be overweight lol

So I guess it's been decided that I'm no longer going to take the birth controll pill since every time I stop taking it i seem to rock the scale... not to mention I noticed it killing my sexdrive which just isn't good for my health... i don't know about anyone elses health but definately not good for mine lol

I have a baby shower to go to march 1st where i'm about to see a bunch of friends i have rarely seen since highschool and definately havent seen since this time last year! so... I'm hoping i can take this nearly 3 pound loss i saw this week and replicate it for the next 3 weeks... despite my 25 lb loss I havent heard any comments about my weight from anyone so I'm really hoping SOMEONE will see a difference... after all, this weight had to of come from somewhere...
I'm not one to fish for compliments or anything I just want someone who doesn't necessarily know I'm trying to lose weight to say "hey have you lost weight?"... i'd just like to know that all my efforts are actually visable to someone...

EXACTLY GIRLIE!!!......someone(anyone) PLEASE NOTICE US!!! LOL !!! ....

...when I finally got that TODAY....man oh mannnnn did it INSPIRE ME TO KEEP GOING, and doing it....the lady hadn't seen me for a year.....so in one year, HELL YA WE LOOK DIFFERENT!!!!...you'll see...you will be SHOWERED by COMPLIMENTS when you go....I can't wait to hear about it!!!! !!!! YOU are ONE HOT MAMA!!! PSHHHHH back up LADIES ...BACK UP!!!.....!! !!!!

.....and YES YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU WILL DO IT!! YOU ALREEEEEADY DID IT!!!...3 lbs ain't a THINGGGGGG!!!!! wooohooo!!! !!!!!!!!

I can't believe no one's noticed all that weight loss on such a tiny frame. You look so tight and toned in your pics..maybe jealousy? I dunno but just keep at it and by the time you drop all that weight it will be impossible for people to "pretend not to notice" .

Hi! I'm so new to the site that this is my first post! I was just reading parts of your diary, and wanted to respond regarding the lack of comments you've received.
I don't think it's jealousy, I think maybe the people who have noticed & aren't particularly close to you (i.e. your family) don't want to comment and make you feel awkward. Trust me, one or two girls at work commented that I was losing weight, and I felt really awkward about it. Thankfully none of the guys from work have said anything, or else I would have felt really bad! When my family mentioned it to me, it wasn't so bad - I just brushed it off.

In the future, I doubt I would say anything to someone when I notice that they've lost weight, because of how I felt when other people vocalized their "noticing" to me. It was like, "geez, was I so huge before?" ...you know?

Anyway, what I'm saying is that you shouldn't feel bad. I'm sure people noticed you, but just didn't know how to say it.

Your story is very inspirational! Maybe one day I'll start my own diary & can share all of my stories Haha...

I dont tend to think "jealous" right away and I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I think Cassey told us that she's trying to help some family members lose weight but their not into it, or something to that effect. I dunno, its just WEIRD if your close family members and friends say nothing when you've lost 25 lbs. That's a big differnence on a shorty frame like Cassie (we're the exact same height so I can call you that LOL).

Ah, got it... I was just trying to voice another opinion. I've noticed that other people like being told they've lost weight, while I guess I don't! lol
Especially in the "in-between" phase! I want to say "I'm not done yet!" haha
