Weigh In #7

202.8

Yippee. It's not a big loss, but it's a loss nonethess. These holiday gatherings are really full of temptations. I'm maintaining my loss from the summer and losing a little bit, so I have to pat myself on the back. I wish it were happening more quickly, but there's more chance that I won't regain if I maintain this level of vigilance.

I'm like a broken record about exercise. Maybe I'm going to go right now and get a locker. That's a first step.

Weigh In #6

205.7

That's up .4 since last week.

The good news is that my measurements are considerably lower than in July when I last took them.

I'm losing slowly, but I'm losing. At this rate I'll reach my goal by my next birthday. I'm trying to get under 200 by the end of the month, and I'm not sure I'll get there. I might be more likely to if I moved more. I'm going to do that, even if it's only the stairs and walking to the subway stop that's 1/4 mile away instead of 2 blocks. Every little bit helps, and I've been putting so much energy into the food that I've neglected the exercise. I know that's an important piece of this puzzle. I'm just having a block about it.

Weigh In--about to cross 200

205.3

It has been slow going over the past few weeks. I haven't posted updates even though I have been weighing in every week.

I'm still 5+ pounds away but 199 is in my sights. I can do this. I'm still on track losing 1 1/2 pounds a week to reach my goal before my next birthday with 3 weeks to spare. I need to start exercising, because that's the one piece that I have been avoiding. I've been focusing on the food and avoiding the binging/overeating that sets me back. So far so good.

People who haven't seen me in a while are starting to notice. I'm wearing a smaller size, even though I haven't bought many new clothes. I don't want to invest in more XLs so I'm waiting.
