With all that is going on, and just not having the time to post as much as I wanted. I thought this would at least catch me up. If you are interested in what is going on in my life, see the previous post, or follow me on Plurk. I post there daily. Okay, let's see where I am in my progress. Looking back, I noticed a mistake I made in my last weigh-in, so I fixed that. Weigh-in #27 (July 9, 2023) - This was a horrible week. I lost 0.1 lbs, that's terrible :( It could have been worse. I weighed in at 269.7 lbs. Weigh-in #28 (July 16, 2023) - Another bad week. I lost 0.3 lbs, yikes :( Let's push on though. I weighed in at 269.4 lbs. Weigh-in #29 (July 22, 2023) - This was much better, and what I like to see. I lost 2.6 lbs. Weighing in at 266.8, yay, let's keep going. Weigh-in #30 (July 29, 2023) - Another good Continue Reading
Weigh-in Progress Catch Up
I am finally doing this update to catch up on my weight loss. Today is Saturday, so I thought today is a good day to catch up before another weigh-in tomorrow. I have been crazy busy, and have not had a chance to update. Although I still do my weigh-ins and I take the picture I always take them for my record. I have had ups and downs but no weight gain. As my last blog post suggested. I did reach my 6-month goal of losing 50 lbs, yay for me. Now on to the weigh-ins. We have quite a few weeks to catch up. Weigh-in #18 - I barely lost anything, but at least it was not a gain! I lost 0.3 lbs, weight is 284.7 lbs. Weigh-in #19 - This was another week, I barely lost anything. Yes, I was disappointed, but at the same time relieved I didn't gain weight. I lost 0.4 lbs. My weight was 284.3 lbs. Weigh-in #20 - I was extremely Continue Reading
Weigh-in #16 – Intermittent Fasting Works!
I have been so busy, that I completely forgot to post on Tuesday, which is when I am trying to post now. Okay, so as my title states, yes intermittent fasting does work. It did great this first week for my current weigh-in. I lost 3.9 lbs, I was very happy. I feel I can intermittently fast in the mornings, and then have lunch, and then dinner. Which keeps my calorie intake lower. This is what I will be doing from here on in. I think it was a great success, and I hope on Sunday, I have another successful weigh-in. I am so happy to see the number going down on the scale. So very happy. The intermittent fasting is paying off and is worth it. Now to just continue doing what I am doing. When I fast, by the end of dinner, I am less than 1000 calories, so I need to eat a little more during the day. Because eating more at night is not a Continue Reading
Weigh-in #15 – What Can I Say? It Happens!
It is Friday, and I haven't lately been posting this late in the week. On Sunday when I weighed in. I thought I did well that week, but apparently, from what was staring back at me on the scale, it wasn't as good as I thought. I lost a measly .2 lbs. Was I disappointed? Absolutely! I was crushed! I expected more than that. At first, I thought I had lost 2 lbs. My husband said the expression on my face said I was not happy with the weight loss. Then, I was instantly corrected by what my husband said. He said I lost .2 lbs. I thought, What??? No way! I was thinking that in my head. I instantly just got so bummed out. My husband looks at me, and tells me "Don't let this discourage you", I said, "It's not, it just disappointed me!" That is where I am. I've been bummed all week, which is why I am just posting this today. On Tuesday I Continue Reading
Weigh-in #14 – I Lost Nothing!
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
