Even though, it wasn't as much as I had hoped to lose. I still lost weight. My husband thought I was disappointed when I got off the scale. But he completely misunderstood my expression. It is so weird. People all my life have gotten mixed messages from my facial expressions. I don't like that about myself, but it is, what it is. We discussed it and cleared the air, which made me happy. He may have been a bit frustrated about it. But I prefer to clear the air. Now, the weigh-in. I think there may have been a day or two where I may have left things out. So I would blame myself. Even so, I still feel it is a WIN because I am still losing weight, even though it wasn't as much as I would like. I try to average 2 per week, this week was only 1.3 lbs, which is okay. I went from 296.0 to 294.7 lbs. I can't wait to get out of the 290s. Now the Continue Reading
Weigh-in #11 – I’m Really Proud of Myself!
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 #9 – Better Than Nothing
Per my last post, if you didn't read it. I did backdate it, to stay on track. Today's weigh-in is on schedule, although I am pushing it by posting this on Thursday, as my weigh-in will be on Sunday, but better than being even further behind. Today we had a sweet Italian sausage as part of dinner, that baby is a whopping 290 calories, but it did taste good, and we needed to eat it. Who likes food to go to waste? I don't. And no that is not the reason I am overweight. I didn't watch what I ate, and it just got out of hand. All that doesn't even matter at this point. The point is, I am doing something about it. I lost 1.5 lbs, still a good number to lose considering my calorie intake. I hope the Italian sausage doesn't mess me up on Sunday lol. There will be days, and there have been days. It is not always going to be perfect, but all I Continue Reading
Weigh-in #8 – Slow And Steady!
I choose to backdate this, just to stay on track with my weigh-ins. I know it is not ideal, but it helps me, and I am admitting to it Lol. I have been so busy, and I just run out of time to do all the things that I want to get done. That does not stop me from logging my calories, and just overall watching how much I eat. This weigh-in was another successful one for February 26, 2023. I lost 2.1 lbs, I want to lose at least 2 a week, so it has been going okay. I checked on the MyFitnessPal app, and according to what it said. Since I am eating 1660 calories a day, I should only be losing 1/2 lb, but I don't reach my full calories, I always try leaving a cushion of at least 200 calories. You may be thinking why don't I just drop my calorie intake? Honestly? I don't want to, I feel if I can manage to have that cushion and still lose more Continue Reading
Weigh-in #3 – I Didn’t Expect That!
I know I am behind, this always seems to happen to me. I don't know if I will ever stay on top of things. It kind of upsets me. But let's get to why I am here. At first, I was feeling okay about the weigh-in, and then the day before, I just had a not-so-good feeling. I was spot on. I turned out gaining. I was disappointed, but at the same not disappointed. Because I thought of it like this. If you gain weight, even the smallest amount. You look back and see what you have been eating, and make the changes to make your next weigh-in a success. In all honesty, all weigh-ins are a success in a sense, because you are trying to achieve something. That to me is a success. I was going to put both my weigh-ins together but I decided against it, so they will be back to back. I am sorry that I didn't post this sooner, I really got busy, and Continue Reading
