Hang in there Kaitie! I got stuck at one weight for three months!! I inadvertantly did some calorie cycling, and started walking 10,000 steps a day, and voila!!! Another three pounds off. Wear a pedometer while you are teaching. You might be suprised how much you walk!
Believe me, not EVERYONE on this forum looses weight every week. I loose only 1 lb per month(if that). There are a lot of people for whom it takes awhile to loose. And that's ok. You will need to accept that it is a long process. I know it can be very frustrating, but the most important thing is to stick to it! Counting calories helped me a lot. If you stay around 1500 with all the exercise you do, things will go down.
Way to go on exercising at 10! It is better late then never. It just shows your determination, so give yourself a pat on the back.
I just have to say one thing - taking your time to loose is ok, because in the long process you condition your body to exercise and to eat right and you form new habits. After you loose all the weight, it will be easier for you to keep it off, because you will continue practicing those good habits. For people who loose weight fast it may be a bit harder to stick to the changes they made in their lives because they have not done it long enough.
I've got a fitday account and my calories and exercise are precisely right for me to lose at least 2 pounds a week. My highest calorie intake is 1400, but most days it's around 1270-1320. I'm just so impatient I guess.
I'm down to 192. Only one pound but I guess it's better than nothing.
WTG for losing!! I don't how I would handle it if I get stuck at a certain weight for a long period of time I can see maybe a week or 2 but anything more than that I would freak!Good luck to ya and your doing gr8 Tammy
3 miles on the bike
150 sit-ups
150 torso twists
30 arms over the head things
40 chest presses
20 bicep curls
I was going to do more on the bike but my legs were just pooped. They felt like jelly when I finally stopped.
Met the new music teacher I'll be working with this year...she seems nice, I get the feeling that she's had a rough couple of years and I hope that she can find the same happiness that I've found at the school. Also, a bunch of the negative teachers left the district so hopefully the school will go back to being a happy go lucky place. I'm a little nervous though, we still don't have a science teacher, 2 third grade teachers, 1 fourth grade teacher, and 2 teachers aides. I hope that somebody gets hired pretty darn quick! Which in turns sucks because ya'll know that someone who wasn't hired a long time ago is exactly the best teacher around--but maybe I'm wrong. Ya know, I really shouldn't say that---I was hired in August last year, I was of course $hittin' a brick that I didn't have a job so maybe they just need a lucky break.
*crosses fingers for a great school year with LOTS of weight loss*
Keep it up dude!!!
