What happened?! No, I didn’t just yo-yo again!!! Ugh, I am so so angry and disappointed, but happy it is not 5 lbs. I gained, yes you read right, gained 2.6 lbs. damn damn damn, what the hell!! Give me a break. I am scared to weigh in next week now. Things are not going well at all. I am disappointed each week, I have gained weight, and it is really upsetting me I do not want to go back to where I was. I need to get it in my head, that for me, my way of eating will have to be a lifetime commitment or I will never achieve my desired results. I have really considered writing Biggest Loser and try to get on the show, I would be more than willing to put myself to the test for a whole year. But then I think NO I can do this on my own!! I’m getting worried. I need to concentrate more! Really need to not worry about wasting Continue Reading
Weigh-in #14 ~ Keep on Trucking
I’m not really post-dating, I did weigh in yesterday morning, and it’s Sunday today, so I am kind of post-dating the date. I usually call it posting about it over the same weekend, so yay! Even though I put yesterday's date, just for my own records, so I don’t get confused. I’ve been doing reasonably well, until Friday, when I goofed up. William texted me and asked if I felt like having a Subway, sandwich and I thought yay great! They have healthy sandwiches. We had a Subway sandwich a few weeks before, he asked me to email him what I’d like, and I am always a stickler for details and getting all the calorie counts. Well I waited until the last minute and I hadn’t done it yet, so I checked my email and copied an old email and sent him it, even though I read it said Teriyaki Chicken and that is yummy and I knew it would be. I glanced at 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 #2 – Exciting Journey
I'm happy to report that in my weigh-in yesterday, I lost 3.1 pounds in a week since it’s a weekly weigh-in, not sure if I am going to say it like that. Or just how much, we’ll see. So things are going smoothly. Sometimes I feel I’m losing weight slowly, but in retrospect, I think that much weight loss in a week is pretty good. The weekly weight loss varies though, anywhere from no calories lost to 5, the most I’ve lost in one week was 5 lbs, which is a lot, and the least amount I lost was zero, but what makes me happy is I have not gained any weight, yay. I already feel a difference. Especially walking up and down the stairs, was such a hurdle for me before the weight loss and I can’t tell you how happy it has made me feel. I’m still at 1,600 calories a day. Lately, I haven’t been getting 1,600, I’ve averaged from 1,200 to 1,400 Continue Reading
Going on Record! Weigh-in #1
I have already been weighing myself every week. And I think I’ll start posting how much I lose or didn’t lose for the past week. So every weigh-in is not for this past week, but I would think the week before. I’m not sure how that works, I think it’s a good idea to probably look it up. When I first started dieting, it was in January, not the 1st, I was writing my meals in an app on my iPod to keep as much track as I could. These are some of the entries. Sunday, January 5, 2014It’s a new year and I plan to start a diet, although this sounds dumb I had to put it off for about 2 weeks to finish up some fatty foods left over, is this dumb? I’m doing it like that, I’m really serious about this. I need all the help and support. Lord help me through this, I want to make it a life commitment, what time I have left. I’m turning 50 Continue Reading
