Let me start with the exciting news:  I lost another two pounds last week and my weight was 176 this morning.  Only eight more pounds to go.  I’ve changed things up quite a bit in the last few weeks and wanted to share a few observations…

I haven’t abandoned the notion completely, but have discovered that [...]

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 [...]

Today’s Monday weigh-in was a little disappointing, although yesterday’s wardrobe was uplifting — not even taking the new bra into account! 
I gained a pound, according to the scale, so this week’s official number is 181.  <sigh>
However, I wore my “college jeans” yesterday and not only was there no “muffin top” spilling out over [...]

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 [...]

This week’s weigh-in results in nothing to report — well, except that the scale didn’t move.  My weight fluctuated a little over the week, up and down, but the net result is the same as last Monday, 181.
I’m happy with that however!  This past weekend was another road trip, this time for a family reunion.  [...]

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 [...]

Jennifer on July 20th, 2010

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 [...]

This week’s weigh-in has me at 187, down one pound from last week.  I’ll take it!  I was pretty diligent with food, not going over my daily calorie goal (of 1350, which is what livestrong.com says I should consume to lose two pounds per week) any day of the week!  Of course, I technically should have [...]

Jennifer on July 5th, 2010

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 [...]

Today is Monday, and that meant weigh-in.  The scale showed me 191 this morning, and I was very happy about that.  The eleven pound swing from last weekend had me in tears and depressed for a few days, but fortunately it seemed to be the combination of time of the month and inconsistent sleep just [...]
