Weekly Weigh-In: Week 39

Posted by Sephira in Dieting, General, Weekly Weigh-In and tagged with , ,

Week 39 Current Weight: 282

Pounds Lost This Week: 0

Total Weight Lost: 108 pounds

I’ve been sick most of the week and though I didn’t have any major cheat days, I was over my goal almost every day.  Particularly the last couple since I was eating cough drops like candy, and though individually they don’t have a lot of calories, it adds up. So I’m a little disappointed, but not super surprised that I didn’t lose anything. At this point I’m pretty miserable, so I’m going to be comfy any way I can – even if it means eating a couple extra bites of stuff.

Week 37 Current Weight: 285

Pounds Lost This Week: 0 (gained 1 pound)

Total Weight Lost: 105 pounds

Considering that on December 26th I weighed about 9 pounds heavier than my last weigh-in, I have absolutely no complaints about being up 1 pound this week. I ate all the food… and it was GOOD.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and wishing you a joyous new year!!

Week 36 Current Weight: 284

Pounds Lost This Week: 4

Total Weight Lost: 106 pounds

As excited as I am, I’m almost positive I’m going to gain back at least a few this coming week. Not that we are having a giant Christmas dinner or anything, but still won’t be counting much either for a day or two. But that’s ok. Anyways… Have a marvelous holiday!!!

 

Weekly Weigh-In: Week 35

Week 35 Current Weight: 288

Pounds Lost This Week: 3

Total Weight Lost: 102 pounds

Despite struggling mightily the last couple weeks, I have officially dropped just over 100 pounds since April!!! Honestly, I’m surprised I’m doing as well as I am, because my food choices the last few weeks (since Thanksgiving) haven’t been all that great, and I’ve been over calories quite a bit (hubby bought another box of Krispy Kreme – what was I supposed to do!!?), but I’ve also been adding short workouts at home as well. And, I do mean short – less than 10 minutes for now, but it’s extra movement, which hopefully I can build up to more. So whatever it is that I’m doing, it’s working, so just going to keep trying to make better choices and moving more when I have the extra spoons. Otherwise… celebrating!!

Weekly Weigh-In: Week 34

Week 34 Current Weight: 291

Pounds Lost This Week: 2

Total Weight Lost: 99 pounds

The one on the left is from mid-November, while the one on the right is from December 2016. It’s worth noting that the one on the right, I had to hold my head and the camera at just the right angle to make myself look less fat, while the newer one is taken pretty much straight on. I still can’t believe the differences sometimes.

Weekly Weigh-In: Week 32

Week 32 Current Weight: 300

Pounds Lost This Week: 0 (gained 9)

Total Weight Lost: 90 pounds

I knew this week was going to be bad. I mean, not only Thanksgiving, but my dad was in town and honestly, I felt like I was starving all week – so I made a ton of bad food choices and was over my daily goals pretty much every day. But still… with couple of exceptions, I was under 2000 calories a day most of the week, so 9 pounds seems like an excessive amount to gain back. I know it’s mostly water weight and will probably drop back off once I get back on track, but that doesn’t make me feel much better at the moment.

Dropping It

So seriously, I never (well almost never) shop for clothes when I’m at brick and mortar retailers because they rarely have ever had anything in my size, but I had some extra Kohl’s cash since hubby needed a bunch of new stuff the other day, so I figured I’d look (and if nothing else I’d pick him or the kids up something else). Well, if I ever needed proof and further motivation that I am really doing this thing… this is it. I found a dress in a 2X that fit me. That is 4-5 sizes smaller than what I was wearing when I started this crazy journey back in April. For realzies, I have shorts that are men’s “king size” 7X and shirts that are 6X, and I. JUST. FOUND. A. 2X. THAT. FITS. Comfortably even. And it was on clearance!!! Can’t beat that. XD

Weekly Weigh-In: Week 30

Week 30 Current Weight: 295

Pounds Lost This Week: 1

Total Weight Lost: 95 pounds

I struggled a bit this week (lots of carbs), and had several days where I was over my calorie goals – not by a lot (usually within 200-300 calories), but still not surprising that I didn’t lose that much. When I weighed myself yesterday morning I was at 294, but then hubby made this awesome dinner and between the salt and extra helping of mashed potatoes it was enough to bump me back up. Also that time of the month (yay for being irregular), so that doesn’t help either.

But overall it’s good and I went out and bought a ton of raw veggies to try to help keep me on track, so that when I’m craving food, I can eat something healthier, rather than reaching for the Brownie Brittle (which OMG… is so good). Really, if I could get hubby to stop buying bread and snacks, it would make my life so much easier. XD
