Well.. after seeing 207.4 my weight continues to do the dance between 207.4 and 210 every week. After much deliberation, I have decided next weekend if I have not lost anymore weight to go on maintenance to stay at 207 until after I come back from vacation. So if by July 19 I have not lost any weight, I am going on maintenance, which is 1900 ( Read more... )

After weeks of constantly seeing anything from 208 to 212, this morning to checking the scale only to see 207.4 was sheer elation. For the past three weeks I have been at 1200 calories a day, most days I tend to fall over by 100 calories at least. It was getting harder and harder to every day eat so little with no reward. However there was the ( Read more... )

Week eight of the plateau of 207.6. Sometimes its 207.6, sometimes its 208. I keep checking my fitness pal to see how many calories I should be eating and it keeps saying 1370. For a while I was good at getting on the exercise bike, then Gumbo died and I fell out of pattern. This weeks goal is to get back on the bike, get back to walking more and ( Read more... )

On Labor Day weekend of 2009, I was bringing Matthew a sandwich from Jimmy Johns after mass because the party I had that weekend canceled. As I was getting out of my car I saw a black cat butt go into the bushes. I remember thinking, "who is this?" As I have an extreme love for black cats. I talked to him and got him to follow me. He rolled over ( Read more... )

So here I sit between 207 and 209 every day for the past 3 weeks, exception for all the water mentioned last post. However, on the brighter side I have lost another inch bringing my waist down to 38 inches from where I started at 47 inches. Plateau's are maddening because it seems like no matter how good you eat, no matter how hard you try it just ( Read more... )

So on March 30th, I weighed 207.8 pounds. So that was nice to see. I happily jumped on the scale on April sixth to see that it said 210 pounds. This was frustrating as I knew that since I was only eating around 1200 calories a day there was no way I had gained three pounds but the realization that my "friend" was due in town on Thursday made me ( Read more... )

I started out on this journey 280 pounds and eating whatever the heck I wanted too... when I first started using myfitnesspal at 267 pounds, I was allowed 1670 calories a day. Now with the recent reach of 209.1 pounds, my calories are all of 1370 a day. Now don't get me wrong, 1370 still allows for a lot of food if you are making the right kind of ( Read more... )

( Creating a cut for ramblings )

So now at least we're back on track, I'd rather be a little lighter but I will definitely accept this loss. I was worried that Lent would be problematic for me since on Friday I often eat fried fish however with some proper food budgeting so far it has not been of issue. I am hoping to go to my church's fish fry sometime soon as they offer a baked ( Read more... )
