I was very happy when I stepped on the scale this morning. I didn't have any coffee or breakfast yet, I never do when I am going to weigh in. I put on my catpuccino socks and grabbed the scale, got my phone ready, and stepped on the scale. I weighed in at 296.0 lbs, which is a 2.3 lbs loss, yay! Very happy with those results. I was just talking with my husband while folding some laundry. About the time I started walking on the treadmill. It was in December 2014, I believe I was at a weight of 265.3 lbs. At that point, I had already been losing weight by counting calories. We think I could start walking on the treadmill again at about 280 lbs. I don't want to get on the treadmill again too heavy as I don't want to be at fault for breaking it hehe. When I started counting calories again this time around. I tried walking on the Continue Reading
Weigh-in #01 – Here We Go Again!
Yeah, that is correct. Here I go again, trying to lose weight. I did it before, and things just went wrong. I am not going to go in-depth about that, as I have already posted a blog about it when it happened. If I can dig up the blog post, I will add a link in this post leading you to that post. I finally got tired of being overweight, it happens to us all, but for me, I just had enough of it. I am tired of it. I don't feel well, well I do feel well, but my knees are bothering me. I am 5'1 small framed but I am way overweight, into the obese category sad to say I am 58 and I don't want to die because I am overweight. I am being brutally honest with you all here. However, I hope all that changes. I started my diet officially on Jan 2, 2023, and on that day I weighed in, to see where I would be starting. My weight at the time was Continue Reading
New Year, New Trials and Tribulations, Let’s GO!
Last year was ok until I hit that bad bump. But it is 2017, Happy New Year, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season, we did. I am excited, and I am back on my diet (way of life) lol. This is my 5th day. Saturday was my second weight-in, so I will show both in a moment, but I will tell you, I did gain weight, that is a no-brainer after my last post. So here we go (again)~! But I also lost weight, so Yay! I began writing this, last week so I do have an additional weigh-in. I thought about titling my weight status as I did before, but since I won't be doing one each week, I may just group a few. I really have so much going on, I have to organize my time better. It is so hard, though, I get sidetracked, and that throws me off. I managed 40 minutes of walking on the treadmill today lol, man I miss where I was before, I really Continue Reading
Failures, Realizations, & Try Again!
I am back again and giving this another whirl. So let me give you a little update since my last post. I realize it has been quite a few months. After my last post, I went into my 2nd 30-day set of juicing. From my last post you can tell it had been rough, even my fiance noticed I was depressed. So he suggested I have 1 meal a day, and I agreed. So, my 2nd 30 days began, and I looked forward to the meal. At this point, I was doing fine, until the 2nd week came around. I then, couldn't help, but snack on something here and there. By the end of the 2nd set of 30 days, I was at more than just one meal/ I didn't lose as much. What I did realize though, is that I didn't lose more than I thought I would in the first month, much less the 2nd month. Basically, what I am saying, I went through all that suffering, to have results that didn't Continue Reading
Weigh-in #5 – I Lost Track!
I can’t believe I had lost track of my weigh-ins, on the blog that is. But since I do record my actual weight as a reference to go back to, that helped me a lot. So I posted two different weigh-ins today. So I can keep up. This past weekend, I had a weight gain, I wasn’t happy, it could have been worse, but thankfully it wasn’t. But I don’t want that to be a habit. It’s very upsetting, and I try not to let it bring me down, and give up. I am NOT giving up. I can’t, I have to realize this is a way of life. It has to be for me. I gained .09 lbs, which as mentioned, isn’t a lot. My weight is now at 310 lbs, yes indeed that is a lot of weight, but I am trying here, and I’m happy with my loss so far, I have lost 36 lbs and that is a lot to be proud of. I’ve only been dieting on record for about 4 months, so I think it’s been pretty good. Continue Reading
