This morning the scale sighed and belched out the number 172.  I know that number reflects about five pounds of  inflated water weight, but it was still depressing to see.  I’m guessing a week from now most if not all of that five pounds will be gone and that only about 10 pounds of actual weight [...]

I had a couple more people subscribe to the blog today.  Welcome!
While I have reached my goal, I hope you find value in the archives of my blog.  I don’t post as much as I used to, and when I do it seems to be with some simple revelation of something, somehow, I knew all [...]

I had three objectives for August 3rd:

jog 30 minutes straight on the treadmill
get back to 148 pounds
do 10 pushups

I got to 30 minutes this morning, over a month early!  I was so pumped and extended my previous best by almost a third (my last attempt was 21 minutes) but I got in such a groove [...]

When I first started my blog, I did such so that I would have some accountability to someone other than myself.  I thought that if I could admit my eating failures to someone else, it would be the first step on the road to recovery, so to speak.
Well, I’d like to be able to tell [...]

Well, like I mentioned, I have reached 148 pounds, the revised goal that I set for myself when I thought 168 was not right for me.
I still can’t say that my current weight is right for me, or that I am happy with the way my body appears in front of a mirror, but it’s [...]

I’m wearing a size 10 jeans in the picture.  My husband says my thighs are too skinny.  He’s right.  Now that I’ve met my original goal of losing 100 pounds and then also the revised goal to lose 20 more, I have more up my sleeve.  I’ll fill you in on all the details of [...]

And it’s a good thing!  Usually when someone says they’ve hit a new low, it’s not so good!
The scale for weekly weigh-in this morning reported 149.  I lost the remaining binge pounds from a couple weeks ago and a couple more to finally break the 150 barrier.  Of the 120 pounds I wanted to lose, [...]

Well, I got through Thanksgiving, the leftovers, and a long shopping weekend.  I managed to LOSE two pounds last week!  I’m having the best month I’ve had in eight months, if I remember correctly, eight pounds so far this month!  The scale said 159, so it was nice to see a new second number.  I [...]

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 [...]

Jennifer on October 15th, 2010

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 [...]
