This week: 178.6

Last week: 178.4

Gain: .2

So, I don't think this counts as a gain, but I guess I should have eaten a bit less sodium and fat over the weekend. Oh well.

Last week: 181.4

This week: 178.4

Loss: 3 Lbs!!!!

I am finally in the loosing again, and I am very happy about it.

I like eating some of the low-fat low-calorie microwave popcorn, especially the kettle corn flavor, because it is both sweet and salty.

This week: 181.4

Last week: 181.9

Still plateaued. ::sigh::

Starting Weight: 181.9

Goal Weight: 164

So, I doubt I will end up reaching my goal this challenge, mainly because I have been on a plateau for the past month basically, so it may take me a bit to get out of it, plus that is very close to my current end goal, but I shall definitely try my hardest to get there.

Goal Weight: 160, maybe

I am loosing weight for a few reasons. Partially its because I am seeing how my mother's obesity is negatively affecting her now, and knowing the health complications that run in my family, and how less likely I am to get them if I get and keep my weight under control. The other reason, is I saw a picture of myself at a party, and I did not like what I saw at 215 pounds. So I decided to do something about it. This is the first time that I have ever changed my body enough to go down a pants size, well 2, and its going to stay off. I am not sure about where I am going to stop loosing weight, I am mainly taking it as a I will see when I get there. This journey is more getting healthy and seeing my energy skyrocket (which it has) then to be a certain weight or size, the weightloss is just a nice benefit.

This Week: 181.4

Last Week: 182.3

Gain:.9 lbs

So, again a not-so good weekend. I have been very lax in my counting as of recently, which is probably why I am hovering in the low 180's for the past few weeks. It probably didn't help that I ate 4 belgium waffles yesterday (and nothing else). I don't think this week will end up being too much better, as I will be going to a friends birthday party next weekend, where healthy food is not on the menu.

Jamminator: Congrats on making your goal!

leanne21071: good luck with your cleanse this week, hopefully it will kick your urge to overindulge after you are done.

alexanderrob: Glad to see you are back on the downward cycle :)

leanne21071: Yes, the shells are uncooked, which is why you add the extra water to the dish. The shells cook in the oven, and they stay somewhat rigid so it does not just fall apart.

This week: 181.4

Last Week: 182.8

Loss: 1.4lbs.

This week was not so bad. I ended up eating more then I wanted to a few days, but I also got more walking in then normal, so I guess it all evened itself out. I think this coming week will be a bit easier food-wise. I just bought a new cookbook, Healthy in a Hurry, and flagged 2 recipes to make this week, and as such wlll only have to cook once this week and have meals and leftovers galore.

jamminatorr: I look forward to the recipes, I love cooking new things that sound yummy.

nbkelly: Your cleanse sounded like it worked very well. Congrats on loosing 3.3 pounds.

This week: 182.8

Last week: 183.2

Loss: .4 lbs

I didn't loose too much this past week, but I was sick and very lethargic, so I think my lack of movement a few days last week impeded my loss. But I am happy to be back on the downward cycle.

Leanne: Congrats on making it below 130! that must feel great.

I am with you Kizzichan, I would love to loose from my girls. Congrats cypris on meeting the 15lb mark!

This week: 183.2 lbs.

Last week:183 lbs.

Gain: .2 lbs.

I ended up having a bad weekends in terms of salt and the amount of food I ate, which was alot and near maintenance both days, so I am not disappointed in not loosing this week, and actually, I am just glad I didn't really gain. 

sarah_11235: Thats great that your school has all those dance classes, they sound like they will be a ton of fun. Hopefully the change will help your body get off the plateau. 

This week: 183
Last week: 184.5

Loss: 1.5

nbkelly: Congrats on your weight loss getting noticed. Sometimes is less that you have lost weight and more the toning up of you body that people notice. Either way its a great accomplishment!

alexanderrob: Sorry to hear abour your minor stumble, but you have it right, ignore what is passed and just focus on doing well this coming week.


I was not surprised with my loss this week, mainly because I was off of work last week, meaning I usually only had 2 meals and no snacks a day, so I had to work to get 1200 calories a day, instead of having to work to stay under 1600. :)

Last Week: 186.1

This Week: 184.5

Weekly Loss: 1.6 Lbs

readermoth: Sorry to hear about your plateau, hopefully the change in our routine will be just what your body needs to start loosing again.

dinarly: Glad you are taking this in stride,and good for you getting in all that exercise. 

Why I want to loose weight:

• Vanity - While I love my body, I know that I would only look better if I weighed less, plus when I am thinner I am more likely to find cute clothes that make me look even cuter. :)
• Health - This year when I went for my annual check-up, I found out I had high cholesterol, and while I was already about 15 pounds into my weight loss, loosing more would only improve it. Also, my mom's side of the family has a history of type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and my mom has arthritis in her back and knees from being obese for so long.
• I am also tired of having my doctor's yell at me every year for being so overweight/obese, and I figure it would be easiest to get healthy now, then wait to have to do it because of some complication.
• What really started me on the journey was 2 things. 1. I was at a friends house and she was trying out her new video camera, just having the image display on the TV, and I saw how I really looked sitting there like a big fat slob and did not like it. 2. Like jamminatorr I had to walk up 4 flights of stairs to my office, and I was less ok by the time I got to the top then I thought I should have been.
