Week 15: 338

Weight Lost This Week: 0 (gained 4 pounds)

Total Weight Lost: 52 pounds

To be fair, there were 2 birthdays, my dad was in town, and it was that time of the month. On the other hand, even though I ate a ton of crap this week, I don’t think I should have gained 4 pounds from it. There were only 2 days that I was WAY, WAY over and on most of the others I was on-target or my exercise calories came pretty close to canceling out the overages (normally I don’t eat them back, but some do) – so this much of a gain seems to be excessive. Especially given that my 1200 a day calorie goal is quite a ways under what most programs say that I need to eat in order to lose (like most put me around 1700), so even if I’m not losing anything, I shouldn’t be gaining either. Oh well… on to a new week and getting back on track.

The really sad part – except for the day I ate at Outback (and the birthday cakes), most of the food I ate wasn’t that great and I ended up regretting eating it almost immediately. What’s the fun of eating if you can’t enjoy it? 😦

Week 13: 336

Weight Lost This Week: 3 pounds

Total Weight Lost: 54 pounds

Weight loss is so weird. Anyhoo… I actually weighed in on Thursday this week, because I’ll be technically out of town most of Friday – only going about 20 minutes down the road, but didn’t want to have to mess with traffic and parking so we got a hotel (might as well take a mini-vacay when I can. LOL).

#RaleighSuperCon FTW!! Hubby wants to meet Michael Rooker and Jason Mews, so off we go. It goes without saying that I probably won’t be eating all that well Thursday night and Friday, but at least this way I’ll know where I was and can better judge the damage. Will try not to go too overboard though. XD

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.
