Losing 100 pounds has been good… don’t get me wrong! But, what about the unfortunate side effects that go along with weight loss? Maybe it’s just me, but here is just a short list of things I’ve noticed that I wish were different:

I’m always cold. Today it was 60 degrees outside. [...]

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. This one marks 100 pounds of loss!
I guess since I have revised my original plan to now include an extra 20 pounds, you might [...]

I woke up this morning to the most wonderful sight — 168 on my scale! I finally lost the 100 pounds I set out to lose. Over the past few days I knew it would be coming soon. I imagined how giggly and ecstatic I would be. Oddly enough, I didn’t [...]

I couldn’t have asked for a nicer weekend to get out and enjoy the weather. It was beautiful here in Wisconsin — the radiant color of the autumn leaves, the unseasonably warm weather in the low 80’s — high school homecoming football complete with parade — and my wedding anniversary! (That makes 17 [...]

It’s probably a little premature to mention this, but that didn’t stop me last week from doing the same — I’m having a great week. At weigh-in on Monday I weighed 175. (Not that I don’t weigh myself at least a half dozen times a day, but the only official one is Monday [...]

Has anyone ever tried a sugar free candy (or anything else) with isomalt in it? I picked up (and purchased) a package of sugar free Crystal Light chewy candy. They are packaged just like Starburst candies but are sugar free.
The curious person that I am, I tried a few last night while working [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
