189.4

Slow and steady weight loss!   :)

Really finding it easy to make healthy choices. I've noticed that my junk food/sugar cravings are way down.

Reality is that I've changed my eating habits.....

189.8

I've been sticking to my healthy eating all week and have finally broken my plateau. My eating plan is to stay at 1,500 calories, 20 grams of fiber, less than 35 grams of fat and about 150 grams of protien and carbohydrates. I eat at least two servings of fruit and 6 servings of vegetables a day, plus I drink at least 100 ounces of water. This seems to be what works for my body.

Now if I could only motivate myself to go to the gym......

189.8  :)

Still 191.4 but feeling thinner

I had to repair a few items of clothing (hanging buttons, etc.) and ended up trying on a few things that didn't fit a couple weeks ago. Pants that I bought early in May that were really tight are slightly baggy now. Strange that my weight has remained the same but I've lost inches.

I guess this is all part of my body settling into its new weight.

191.4

All week I've been bouncing between 190 and 191. Very frustrating.....not going to give in. If I stick to this the scale will continue moving down.

190.0

190 even!!!!! 35.6 pounds of blubber gone.....

I'm finding that my body seems to lose 3-4 pounds within a couple weeks each month and the other two weeks no weight loss. I'm not sure if this is hormonal or if its just the way weight loss is. Either way I'm happy with a 35 pound weight loss in 5 1/2 months. An average of 6 pounds a month.

After nearly 6 months of eating healthy, natural and portion controlled food I've lost my taste for most sweets and eating out is kind of a hassle because what used to taste amazing is now greasy and salty.

I have visions of myself turning into an organic nut case.....hairy armpits and all. Haha, I'm far too vain for that!

190.6

Weighing myself every couple days seems to be the best thing for me. Daily weigh ins are a little too obsessive. 190.6     :)

I feel really great! All the fruit and vegetables that I've been eating for the past 6 months are paying off - my skin and hair look super healthy, plus I'm now a normal size! I'm wearing a size 12....

192.4

192.4 and feeling human again. I drank loads of water and ate clean food all weekend and the two pounds of bloat is gone. Really hoping to knock off another two pounds in the next two weeks. Goal is to be under 190 by July 1st.

194.2

Horrible PMS and bloat this week.   :(
I'm sticking with the program and have been weighing in daily (just not posting my weights).

I actually hit 195 one day this week. The scale is going back down again so I just have to accept that my body is in PMS mode and my weight will go up for a couple days.

still 193.6

I'm kind of frustrated with this plateau! I have to just stick with it. I know that the scale will move (down not up thank you very much) again.

I joined a gym last week. I've been a couple times already. Yoga, loved it. Second time I ran on the treadmill. I used to love running when I was young. Last year I broke my foot and ankle, perhaps because I was hauling around an extra 70 pounds of lard?! Because of that I'm scared to run out on the street. What if the road isn't flat and I hurt myself again. I think for now the treadmill is good. I can run and walk as much as I want without the fear.

Earlier this week I was traveling for work and was stuck in the airport. I went to buy a bottle of water and stupidly bought two bars of Godiva white chocolate along with the water. Mental lapse, PMS, psychotic moment - or D all of the above.

I shoveled in 480 calories and fifty bazillion grams of fat in about 30 seconds flat. I sat in the airport afterwards mentally beating myself up for not planning ahead and bringing healthy snacks with me. When I got on the plane I decided then and there to let go of the guilt and just move past my 'episode'. In the past a lapse like this would have thrown me off track and I would have turned back into my bad eating habits. I feel like this was a mental breakthrough for me.

193.6

Back to daily weigh-ins for the week. Saturday I ate like a horse, and not a cute little Shetland pony, more like a Clydsdale.     :(

Yesterday my eating was much more under control and I went to the gym. Today I need to stick to the program!!!!

I'm over half way in my weight loss journey and can't get off track now.

192.8

A one pound gain from last week. I've been eating really healthy. Loads of vegetables.......
I need to focus on portion size. I'm going to measure my food this week in order to get a visual of what a proper portion looks like.

This is a lifestyle not a diet. I'm getting healthy rather than focusing on the short term goal of weight loss. My motivation is still very high, I won't allow a minor set back to ruin the healthy changes I've made.
