Another pound


I updated my ticker to show that I have lost another pound. I am down 3 pounds since starting my new diet and fitness two weeks ago. I wished I had lost more this week but I did have some slip ups and didn't work out on Friday other than my afternoon walk to the school. Yesterday I did not work out and also splurged at the buffet at River Rock casino. It was all so delicious and I couldn't help but pig out on my favorite foods. I did notice my stomach has shrunk a bit. Normally I would have eaten more but I couldn't. It didn't take as long to get full. I'm trying to keep up with my drinking water too although I don't think I had enough yesterday. I also did have some merlot last night for a treat as it was an overnight and special night.
I'm back on track today with it. I am going out for lunch and plan to make sure I drink lots of water with my meal. Master Anakin seems to be losing a lot more weight than I am. I admit it's a bit frustrating. I expected to lose more weight than only one pound. A pound is a pound though...I am 3 pounds lighter than two weeks ago. I know that I can't give up....I am strong and I can do it! :)
May the force be with you.

Congrats on your weight loss, padme! That's great!

Remember that men tend to lose weight faster than women for lots of reasons, like they have more muscle and usually a higher metabolism.

Both of you are doing an amazing job!

Keep at things padme...you are moving forward, even if you aren't always maintaining your expectations. You did, after all, choose progress, not perfection at this effort...Be gentle on yourself. Beating yourself up only leads to emotional eating. Hang in there....and your recent picture on Darkside have been beautiful and sexy. ((hugs))

Congrats on the weight loss! As good girl said, men tend to have an easier time losing weight, don't let it get you down! You did a pretty good job since you had some splurges too. Don't forget that alcohol while trying to lose weight is counterproductive.....
Big hugs,
Kallisto

Hi Padme,
Congrats on your weight loss! Every pound counts and it doesn't matter how long it takes for it to come off, as long as it comes off eventually. You have to realize that men and women have very different type bodies and won't always lose weight at the same rate. Don't worry, I know you will both reach your goals. :)

Big Hugs for a skinnier Padme

Just keep reminding yourself that even a small loss is better than a gain or not changing at all :) Every little bit helps!

Also remind yourself that Master Anakin has almost twice as much weight to lose, so in the beginning it will of course be easier for him. Things will likely even out eventually though. Don't let that discourage you :)

Also, great job Master Anakin! You're doing fantastic :D

XOXO

Thanks for the support for My padme, everyone! padme, I'm very proud of you! It is easier for Me to lose weight, I admit that fully. Not EASY, but easier. We'll just keep at it no matter how long it takes. A pound is still a pound, it will add up over time!

Slow and steady weight loss tends to stay off so keep reminding yourself that. Keep up the hard work - both of you are doing great!
