I didn't lose even an ounce, wow huh? But I didn't gain either. So it is still a win for me. I was initially bummed out about it. I had hoped I lost something, but yeah I will have those days when I lose absolutely nothing, and that was this weigh-in. I was upset at first, my jaw dropped when I saw the weight on the scale, lol. But I had to come to terms with it, that it does happen. You just never know. You think you are doing good, and staying under your daily calories, and at the end of the week, you ask yourself. What did I do wrong? What didn't I put in, how did I go over and not realize it to the point of not losing any weight? I don't know, and I am not going to kick myself for it. It is over and done with, move on with the new month. So today how am I feeling about Sunday's weigh-in? I don't know anymore. I can only continue Continue Reading
Weigh-in #02 – Getting A Good Start!
Here I am with my 2nd weigh-in. I did good, it was not nearly as much as my first, but I knew it wouldn't always be high numbers. Even this weigh-in I feel will not be a normal number. The last time I was doing this, my usual number was 2 lbs a week, and that is with no exercise, apart from the normal doing around the house, doing laundry, going downstairs to the basement, and whatnot. Unfortunately because of my weight, I cannot get on the treadmill yet. I don't want to break it lol. Pretty much the same thing I did last time, I didn't get a treadmill the first time until I was well below 300 lbs, and right now I am still over 300 lbs, so this is how it goes for now. Now for my weigh-in progress photo. I noticed in my last photos the picture was way too close, so this time I decided to back up with the camera a bit. I lost 5.4 Continue Reading
Weigh-in #18 – Rough Waters
I’m not so happy trying to lose weight on my own. I know is up to me, and I need to be strict about things. Now what I’m about to tell you, may seem like an ‘excuse’ but I am genuinely being honest about it. Growing up in poverty as a child, you appreciated the food you had to eat, as so many are worse off than we were as children. I am right, anyone with common sense should agree. Are they a lot of those? You be the judge. Moving on, as I mentioned, growing up we appreciated our food. Now as an adult, in my current relationship. My fiancé's mother, makes us dinner sometimes once every two weeks, usually Lasagna with some kind of sausage, Italian usually, and also sometimes pasta, VERY VERY delicious but also VERY VERY fattening. I don’t like food to go to waste, and I don’t OVER indulge, but my portions have to be small if I am to Continue Reading
Weigh-in #15 ~ Meh!
So this wasn’t such a bad weigh-in, but I did gain, not a lot though, which I am happy about. I gained .04 lbs, not bad right? No, it’s not, but I didn’t want to gain anything at all. I’d rather not lose anything, than gain. But it is only 0.4 lbs, which is a big relief! I’m starting to eat regular meals not so much Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones, I don’t even like Smart Ones anymore, they just don’t have a large enough variety. Healthy Choice is another I like. But I don’t like having to spend extra money to get my meals. I have to learn to stay under my calories, when I eat everyday things, but on that same note. We try to buy things that are low in calories, like Salad Dressing, the kind I use now is only 15 calories for 2 tablespoons, nice right? So I try to look for things, that won’t break the bank so to speak :D And there you Continue Reading
Weigh-in #3 – And The Journey Has Begun
I know it’s late in the week, and I should have posted over the weekend, and we are almost into the weekend again. But I was not 100% happy with my weigh-in, I gained weight, but I’m not really upset with myself, because I know now what it is I did wrong. Even though I had enough calories for the food I was eating during the week, I overcompensated, thinking that I had enough calories and that should be fine. I was WRONG and perhaps a lot of other people do the same thing and make the same mistake as I did. I learned that even though for instance say I have a lot of calories left at the end of the day for dinner, it does not mean ‘hey I can eat more’, it doesn’t work like that, you can be sure you will gain weight. You need to be strict especially at night, to NOT eat a lot, because you are not moving around as much in the Continue Reading
