So I weighed in this morning, before heading out to do some grocery shopping! I gained 1 lb, I know I seem to be yo-yo-ing!! I was a little disappointed, but during the week I told myself I’d probably gain, I didn’t exactly cheat, and I wouldn’t say that I stayed within my calories, on some days I came under my calorie count, it made me happy, it gave me that cushion, for just in case, I guess it wasn’t enough cushion. I am not pointing fingers at anyone at all! This is all on me, I take full responsibility for gaining anything, BUT lol, Williams's mom makes some awesome lasagna I do watch how much I eat and still try to enjoy a nice meal, but the temptation can be unbearable sometimes. I think I am pretty good with temptation though. There were a few times I wanted to cheat and not tell William, but I tell myself, I am only harming Continue Reading
Weigh-in #9 – Officially in the 200’s Yay!
That is right, today’s weigh-in put me into the 200s, which is an achievement I have not been able to do in a very long time. I’m talking for years and years. So it makes me really happy. Now even though I’m in the 200s I’m only at 299.2 lbs, yeah I can only imagine what some people are saying, hey I’m in the 200s I made it, so there :P Now I just need to keep it up, or should I say, keep it going down lol I lost 1.5 lbs since last week. Sure I was hoping for a bigger number, but right before I stepped on the scale, I told myself I would be happy with just a 1 pound, and I got 1.5 lbs, so I say that is great! I even took a photo, I may start posting my weigh-in results in photo form as well, hmm something to think about. I do record it though for my own records, so if I forget to post about it, I can go back and check my videos. I Continue Reading
Weigh-in #8 – Still going strong!
I decided to begin post-dating my blog posts because sometimes I don’t have time to post an entry, although I should have made a habit of doing it, right after I weigh in, in the past, it has shown it doesn’t work that way, so I may post-date some of my posts like this one is from last week, week ending June 7, 2014.Last week was also a success, I’m happy to report. I lost 4.3 lbs, which made me happy and put me right at 300.7 lbs. I think I am doing good, but as most people would say, they wish it would happen faster. I just have to be patient, and it will happen. I have not started my walking regime, and the weather has been wonky, yeah again it sounds like an excuse but it’s really a reason for me. Especially because of my knee problems. I knew it would always be an issue, and it would never be like it was before the injury. Last Continue Reading
Weigh-in #7 ~ Success!!
This past weigh-in was a success, but at the same time, I feel it could be a false negative. I say this based on what happened last week if you recall. On Saturday morning, I weighed myself and I weighed 305 lbs, now according to my last weigh-in, I lost 5.7 lbs, which seems like a lot to me. I didn’t do anything significantly different from last week. So I was pretty shocked when I saw 305 lbs. I’m almost scared to weigh in Saturday thinking it’ll be back up to 310, I’m having a hard time really passing into the 200s. But I am not giving up. I’m really happy with what I see going on, to date I have lost 40.6 lbs, and that is a big accomplishment for anyone obese that is trying to lose weight. Yay, go me! Back before I decided to get on a diet and change my lifestyle, I felt I was really hitting rock bottom. I am on the computer a Continue Reading
Weigh-in #6 – I’m Confused!
Well here I am, I weighed in this morning, which I feel is the best time to do it. According to this article, I read online. I have to say I was very disappointed with what I see. I thought back to my week, and though I think I did pretty well, all week I stayed under my 1460 calorie intake, so why did I gain weight? That just didn’t make sense to me. I said oh well, I have to re-evaluate what I am doing, how I am eating, and cut back even more. It was disappointing, I just couldn’t understand. From what the scale said, I gained about 3 lbs, and that is a lot!!! I was mad, sad, discouraged (for about a second), and just confused. I thought okay, no point in crying over it. Moving on. About an hour ago, I got curious to see if my weight changed any, and I thought this because I noticed I had to use the bathroom about 9 times today, Continue Reading
