Yay for me! After two months of not meeting my monthly goals, I met the one I had for March — even beat it and kept the lost pounds off!
At the beginning of March I weighed 215 and my goal was to be at 208 by the end of the month. Well, this [...]

A couple of times recently, I’ve been asked “Why Am I Not Losing Weight” or some derivative thereof. I am really truly strongly suggesting that anyone who is battling weight loss, especially when they can’t figure out their roadblocks, take a hard look at two things:

How much sleep are you getting at night?
How much [...]

I guess I shouldn’t call them weekly weigh-ins anymore because I have reverted back to my former silly ways of weighing myself multiple times per day. I just can’t help it! I like knowing on a daily basis how I’m doing.
Anyway, this morning I weighed 207. I’m happy about [...]

I have updated my Progress Photos page with another picture in my blue shirt. This one was to mark 60 pounds of weight loss. Make sure you scroll to the bottom to see the latest picture, as I have them displayed in descending order.

Have you noticed my weight loss ticker on the right side of my home page? It shows how much of my goal I have lost so far. When updating it today, I was sadly made aware that the last time I updated it (meaning the last time I had additional progress, i.e. a [...]

You know how I’ve been complaining about the same four or five pounds going off and back on like a yo-yo? Well, I broke the 211 barrier with a surprise 209 on the scale this morning! I have been journaling food and counting calories for four days now. I don’t seem to [...]

It is so frustrating to keep gaining and losing the same four or five pounds! I think my mind is about to blow. This morning at weigh-in I was two pounds heavier than last Monday. I’m guessing that had something to do with my daughter’s St Patricks Day birthday and eating 12 [...]

Well, it wasn’t as bad as I thought — that error in judgment from Friday that is…
For the week, I was down three pounds! I’m back to 211, so I really want next Monday to be at 210 or less. I can do it, and with the weather improving, it is so much [...]

Here I am on Saturday morning typing from my laptop in a hotel room. I am away on an overnight business trip, a featured speaker at an adoption conference on the topic of lifebooks and their importance to an adopted child.
“Road trips” are always a bit challenging for me, as I am away [...]

After running my butt off on the treadmill three times last week in addition to the five Wii workouts, I was hoping for more than a one-pound loss this past week, but I’ll take it. Any loss is better than gain, right?
Onward and up (I mean down!) -ward.
