Week 12: 339
Weight Lost This Week: 1 pound
Total Weight Lost: 51 pounds
Except for last Friday where I went way over, I was under my calorie count all week (eating between 1000 and just under 1200 a day), along with exercising 4 days – and all I have to show for it is 1 measly pound. This is so frustrating.
Week 10: 344
Weight Lost This Week: 3 pounds
Total Weight Lost: 46 pounds
As disappointed as I was last week, this week, I’m really not. I was on track to lose probably closer to 5 pounds, but I had a planned cheat day on Wednesday (Endless Fondue at The Melting Pot – like anyone can resist that one!!), and that slowed me down a bit. I’d actually been doing extra exercise all week to compensate, and even did double my normal swim Wednesday morning, but that proved to be overkill and I’ve been pretty useless ever since.
I did have my official 3rd visit to the doctor Wednesday afternoon, and I weighed 343 pounds there, but then went on to eat a literal ton of food that evening, so not surprised that I went up slightly. But I am back to eating like I should be, so all is good for next week.
Week 9: 347
Weight Lost This Week: 2 pounds
Total Weight Lost: 43 pounds
Not as much as I’d hoped – was really looking to stay at 3-4 pounds loss a week for a bit longer, but guess it’s better than nothing. It’s just frustrating to know that I’m eating at a huge deficit, along with exercising 3-4 times a week (and not eating back those calories either) and not having a whole lot to show for it. Makes it very hard to stay motivated.
(realistically, i know 2 pounds is good, but when you have a long, long way to go – it really sucks)
Week 8: 349
Weight Lost This Week: 1 pounds
Total Weight Lost: 41 pounds
Normally, I’d probably be all like… OMG only 1 pound!!! But I know I ate a ton of crap this week, so really, I’m just happy that I didn’t gain anything.
Week 7: 350
Weight Lost This Week: 6 pounds
Total Weight Lost: 40 pounds
I started swimming again this week. Didn’t go Monday, but have been every day since for at least 30-45 minutes. Currently doing about 20 laps in about 30 minutes (pool is 25 yards each lap). I know that is slow, but I figure it’s better than nothing. Probably won’t go on the weekends (too crowded), but hopefully will get there at least 3-4 times per week. Not really bothering with other exercises while I’m there – they don’t burn near as many calories, so kind of a waste of time.
I also discovered that the Halo Top Chocolate Mocha Chip is way better than the Mint Chip flavor. WAY. BETTER. I mean… the mint one wasn’t bad, but it tended to leave a funky aftertaste. The Choco Mocha – near to perfect.
🙂
Week 6: 356
Weight Lost This Week: 5 pounds
Total Weight Lost: 34 pounds
Had my official 2nd visit with my doctor this week as well (also 356 officially in the chart now). He was very happy with my progress. YAY! This, of course, led to my first official cheat day… in which I ate nachos from Moe’s and had a Triple Chocolate Brownie sundae from DQ. Moe’s wasn’t my first choice, was totally going to nom on copious amounts of breadsticks and pasta from Olive Garden, but the weather was not cooperating with me, so Moe’s it was. But either way, it was OOOOHHHH SOOOO GOOD!!! But now I am fortified and ready for the next month of dieting – though to be fair, my wedding anniversary is in about a week, so I’ll probably be going out to dinner on that day too, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. XD
Week 5: 361
Weight Lost This Week: 5 pounds
Total Weight Lost: 29 pounds
YAY!! Forward progress again. I was really starting to worry, but guess my body was just adjusting. If I can maintain 3-5 pounds a week, I’ll be happy. Definitely makes it easier to stay the course when I’m seeing results. Though this week, I’ve been having trouble eating again. At least twice I didn’t even make 1000 calories, or barely made it. Of course last night I was way under, but I fell asleep really early (the kiddo had me up at the crack of dawn) and just never got around to eating my evening food. I will try to do better this coming week.
Week 4: 366
Weight Lost This Week: 0 (gained 2)
Total Weight Lost: 24 pounds
Super frustrated. Still eating between 1000 and 1200 calories a day, 75 carbs or less and high protein, and not only didn’t I lose anything, but I gained. I swear… my body hates me. It’s really hard to stay motivated when there aren’t any results to show for it.
Only positive – I do think I’m losing inches. But not losing is bumming me out. I mean, I knew that the rate of loss would slow, but I was still expecting at least 2-3 pounds a week (maybe even 5) being on such a restricted diet. Hopefully, it will pick back up, but so far, the scale seems stuck at 366-367 (literally been up since later in the afternoon after the last weigh-in).
Week 3: 364
Weight Lost This Week: 7 pounds
Total Weight Lost: 26 pounds
This week, I ate an iced chocolate donut (hubby bought a huge box of them… why I have no clue), but I did manage to keep it within my calorie and carb goals for the day. So that was something!!
Tomorrow Ye Diet
