Made my first "mini goal" of 1 stone (or 14 pounds) and 1 pound into the next goal.
Weight: 177.5
NSV: had to buy a new belt, ran out of notches
Feeling spunky!
Even though I was on vacation most of last week, I feel good that I was able to lose two pounds. I went from 195 to 193. I made it a point to walk everyday, to eat good snacks, and stay away from processed foods. I had some pizza one night, and that was really the only questionable food I ate all week. I feel like I have self-control over my food vices and that feels great!! I just need to keep working on portion control, and keep up the exercise.

1-25 WEIGHT: 226.2
LOST 4.4 #
Again I only made it to the gym twice last week, but it felt good when I did exercise. I did really well with eating. We had guest over Saturday night and I only had a spoonful or two of the ice cream (one of my biggest indulgences). Plus there were margaritas (another fave) but I only had maybe 2-3 oz tops. Funny, the drink gave me a major brain-freeze and seemed to do the same thing to my stomach. Experiencing those not so fun feelings made it easy to not drink.
We also went out to breakfast and I ordered a denver omlet buy only ate about 1/3 of the dish. Hashbrowns were included (an oversite on my part) but I only had about 3-4 bites of those as well. Then...darn it, I left the to-go box on the table! Maybe a blessing in disguise :)
This week I'd like to make it to the gym three times and lose 2 # minimum. That will put me over 10# lost and I"m going to treat myself :)
Hi to all.
I was not expecting a weight loss -- didn't stay beachy on a couple of days -- and, sure enough, I was right. But it was time to take my monthly measurements and I've been looking forward to that.
Total inches lost since Jan 4th: 6.5
Weight lost this week: none
Weight lost since Jan 4th: 14 lbs
All in all, not too shabby. Now to tackle Feb -- I want to see what exercising the full month will do!
Weigh In this week - 3lbs down to 167, 13 so far.
Exercise, did more this week, adjusted my routine to getting up at 5:00 and doing it before I start work. Even brought my 4 mile walking tape and did it on my business trip.
So far this has been a great experience for me.
My usual weigh in day is Monday -down 2 lbs, weighing in at 161 lbs. Will be at the Friday meeting.
