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 [...]

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, [...]

With last week’s reading of 155, I was hoping to be back around 151 today, but alas, the scale said 153.  I guess last week’s binge is going to take more than a week to come back off.
I’ll take the two pounds though and not complain about it.  I ate out three times this past [...]

I’m getting kind of tired of having at least one monthly weigh-in showing a big increase from the previous week.  Today the scale read 155, up four pounds from last week.  Don’t get me wrong… I’m not shocked by it.  In fact, the “science” of weight loss is so OBVIOUS to me that I could [...]

It was nice to see all of the bloated binge pounds come back off this past week.  In fact, perhaps with the scant amount of exercise I sneaked in, I even lost one more!  The scale this morning said 151.  (It’s hard to imagine how, considering it said 159 last week at this time.)
Three more [...]

…which is ironic, considering my weight is “high”.  I promised myself some time ago that I would never allow myself to yo-yo more than ten pounds.  In other words, re-gaining more than ten pounds of weight I had previously lost would be unacceptable and would be a huge trigger for me to stop the insanity and [...]

Weigh-in today showed 152, so the five pounds since 157 are gone again.  Now that last week is behind me, I’m looking forward to the downward trend this week.  For Valentines Day my husband got me the most beautiful card and also a Reese’s Peanut Butter heart whose nutritional information said 1/4 of the package.  [...]

Continue reading about 152 again

Jennifer on February 7th, 2011

The scale said 157 this morning.  I’d rather not call it a five pound gain for the past week, as it’s mostly bloat.  Next Monday I am going to predict that the scale will read either 152 or 153 — the negation of this most recent binge.  (I certainly wouldn’t feel justified in calling that [...]

Jennifer on January 17th, 2011

I weighed 155 this morning, so another one pound loss for the week. I’m happy about it, delighted even, that yesterday’s weigh-in was 154. I know I can’t officially report a two pound loss for the week since technically I always go by Monday morning weigh-ins, but the fact that I hit it [...]

It’s supposed to snow here again today. I’ve actually had a few-day reprieve from the blustery stuff, so I guess I can’t complain. Well, actually I can, so I think I will! I’m still so cold all the time. I was just telling another blog friend yesterday that I’m considering taking [...]
