I have updated my Progress Photos page with another picture.  Make sure you scroll to the bottom to see the latest picture, as I have them displayed in descending order.
It was kind of important to me to show my progress in the same clothes because I thought it would more accurately show an “apples to [...]

Well, today is a milestone!  I’ve hit the 90 pounds lost mark.   Today’s weigh-in showed 178, which I was so happy to see after the last few weeks of mini-plateau.  Last Monday was 181 (which was a pound gain from the previous) so I managed to lose it and two more.
Despite birthdays for both my [...]

My first experience with working towards my new goal was awesome!  I’m already wondering if my goal wasn’t big enough.  I think the 5K portion is right on target, and the two weeks is doable.  I’m wondering if the 45 minutes part of my goal is too lax?  Anyway, long story short, at the end [...]

I lost one this week.  It’s Monday weigh-in and the scale showed 180.  There were so many days in the last couple of weeks where the scale showed 180 but not once did it dip into the 170s.  I guess I’ll have to wait for next week to see a new second number!
Oh well.  As [...]

I have been putting it off and putting it off, trying to wait until all of my weight is lost, but I’m becoming extremely fearful that I will lose my rings.  My wedding band is (I’m guessing) about four sizes too big and the engagement ring (not soldered) has a rubber spacer on the back [...]

Another three pounds are gone, and today’s weekly weigh-in showed me at 182.  I made lots of sensible food choices and logged all of my intake diligently, so my weigh-in is a logical reflection of my eating.
 I only worked out once this past week, and I would really like to be doing more, but I’m thankful [...]

I was out of town again this past weekend.  I was doing an outdoor show in Indianapolis.  It was HOT.  I think this was good for me, as all the sweating and lugging equipment helped me use more calories than I needed apparently.  After last month’s road trip resulted in 11 more pounds upon my return [...]

After last month’s crazy ups and downs, I settled in with a really nice week last week.  Last week’s Monday weigh in showed 191 on the scale, and this morning I weighed 188.  I had seen 187 momentarily but it didn’t stay for long.  Oh well, as Katie says, if the scale showed me 187 [...]

Well, the good news keeps rolling in!   The scale this morning read 188, which marks another ten pounds to be rid of in the quest to lose 100.  I’m 4/5 of the way there and today had another opportunity to wear my picture-taking-progress-page-updating shirt.
I have updated my Progress Photos page with another picture.  This infamous [...]

I know I already blogged a little bit for today but I just wanted to share my excitement with all of you:  I am no longer obese!  According to my Wii Fit, I am now just “overweight”.  My BMI is now below 30, 29.72 to be exact.  
I’ve been waiting for the number to be less [...]
