For months now, the evil Wii Pit Plus has been reminding me that "that's obese" in a cute little high pitched voice every time I'd weigh myself. Obese is a scary word. It conjures up images of people who weight hundreds of pounds. Being obese can kill you. I didn't like being obese ( Read more... )

Today marks the first day of the new diet. I need to lose 25 pounds in the next 3 months. That's a little over 2 pounds per week. It's a high bar to set, but if it gets me that new iMac, I'll do everything I can.

So I weighed in this morning at 190 lbs. I haven't had a bowel movement in a little over a day, so I'm sure that's part of my problem. I ( Read more... )

I'm sorry to say I've let my diet go. I hit a bad slump of depression, and I ate a lot of comfort food. Without having Alli in my life, I was free to eat cheese sticks and ice cream and anything I wanted. It was great. I've stayed away from the scale since my last weigh in ( Read more... )

Check it out! I weighed in at an even 187 today! That's the least I've weighed since I started this journey ( Read more... )

This week I didn't wait 7 days or more to have my weigh in. I don't know that it would have mattered.

We have a lot going on over the next couple weeks and I don't know when I'll have time again to do a weigh in.

So here's where I succeeded this week:

• I had a lot more exercise - rollerblading 3 days in a row, walking, climbing stairs, etc
• When I was ( Read more... )

I'm not sure how I feel about this week's weigh-in. I mean, I did lose weight, and that's a plus. But I know I wasn't as active as I was for the prior weigh-in. And I think I was even worse about taking my Alli pills. Nick's son's birthday (and party) were this past weekend, and we got to spend our first overnight with him. It was great and ( Read more... )

My weight today is 188.5 lbs! I lost 4.4 pounds in the last 8 days ( Read more... )

I've updated my weigh-ins on the side of the page. I was disappointed to see that I'm 3.3 lbs heavier than I was exactly 1 month ago. I understand, however, that I have not been on Alli, and have been advised against exercise. Because of this, I've been seeking out comfort food and not eating low fat items. (I've also been super constipated ( Read more... )

About 2 weeks into my new regiment, I was happy to see that I had lost a pound. Another week passed, and I was astonished to find that I'd gained 2 pounds! How could this be? I'd gone to the gym more and eaten the same that week! Then we discovered the source of the problem ( Read more... )

The weekend was challenging for me but I'm happy to report that I stayed on track ( Read more... )
