Weight Update

Well I would have thought that I was going to lose more weight considering how sick I was! Weighed in at 287.8 this morning, which is a drop of 1 pound over the last two weeks. I guess I can’t really complain, I mean i’d rather lose a pound than gain a pound in any event. Now I just need to make sure the trend continues into the new year, might be tough with all the yummy left overs though.

Missed Weigh In

I realized about 20 minutes ago that I forgot to weigh in this morning, so I guess I will have to wait until next week to see how I am doing. Here’s hoping for good results next week.

This is a Good Sign

This seems to be going well; I weighed in at 288.8 this morning which is a drop of 1.4 lbs. I am sure it is due to all the walking I did while out in Philadelphia, which is just more of an indication that I need to find ways to be (more) active.It’s not even the being active that’s the problem, it’s finding the time and motivation that is the hardest part for me. -sigh-

Missed Weigh In

Missed weigh in this morning due to being at DR in Philadelphia. Though I have been doing a lot of walking the last few days, and will continue to do more for the next few days (it’s a good distance from the hotel to the DR site), I think I am going to write this week off and start back up next Sunday. On a side note it turns out I was wrong, the test ends at 8am on Monday not sure why I thought it ended so much later.

The Battle Continues

Tiffany called me today and asked if I wanted to start doing the weight watchers program with her. We would be each others group support and we can talk to each other about how we are doing and hopefully lose some weight without having to pay for the classes. So starting today I am restarting my weekly weigh ins and hopefully some weight loss. I weighed in this morning at a disappointing 290.2 pounds. Let’s hope I can do some good and lose some pounds!

Last official Weigh In

Today was my last Weight Watchers at Work meeting, i am really surprised at how fast the time went. Over the past weeks I have learned a lot about my eating habits and things that I need, nay WANT to change. I now eat more fruits and vegetables then ever before, not just quantity but variety as well. If nothing else this program opened my eyes and tastes to many new foods that I had not tried in the past, or tried and didn’t like but now do.

I mentioned last week that i would not be signing up for the next session and that still holds true. While they did lower the price because they are going to run a short special session (8 weeks for $88) I still simply do not have the extra money. I am going to take these next 8 weeks and see how I do on my own. Hopefully i can keep my motivation up to keep eating as best I can and hopefully increase the amount of exercise I get. Even if it is just getting out and going for a mile walk.

I think some of my motivation will need to be remembering how well I have done over these last weeks. According to the scale a few minutes ago I am  down an additional 1.6 pounds this week bringing my total weight loss for the 15 week program to 12.2 pounds and my final weigh in weight to 282.8 pounds. I am very happy with this result and proud of what I have acomplished, while I know I still have a long way to go these results are encouraging. I really need to continue focusing on eating right and trying to get more exercise as i am still lacking in that area.

Next week I will begin weighing myself at home on my own scale. I know the numbers will be greatly different due to a number of factors. One reason is that they say each scale is true to itself. Another will be the environment and time. I am hoping to weigh myself wednesday mornings before getting dressed for work. They say you weigh the least in the morning.  🙂

New weight

Just got back from my first weigh in since July 1st, having missed the last two weeks coupled with not having any healthy food to eat in the house due to lack of money I wasn’t really expecting this to be a good session. Knowing that I hadn’t been following the plan like I should be, however, I had been trying to increase the amount of walking that I have been doing and trying to eat small portions of what ever I had been eating. Apparently something worked becasue even though I did not lose any weight I only gained a single pound, which is a win in my book. Even with this small gain I have still managed to loss a total of 10.6 pounds. Next week is my last weigh in and, even though the program is working, I will not be signing up for another session due to lack of money. I am going to try to continue following the program on my own though, and try to make the changes I have made over the last few weeks a permenant change in my life.

My first mile stone

Another week has gone by and I am just back from my weekly Weight Watchers meeting and I am very happy to state that I reached my goal from last week and my first mile stone. I am down another 1.8 pounds for a total loss of 11.6 pounds, a full pound over my 10 pound mark! With the coming of the nice weather I have been slowly trying to incorporate more exercise into my routine by going on walks when I can, I hope to be able to find the time to increase these. I have been thinking about trying to take up jogging too, very small distances at first of course, but once again it is a time issue. In any event I am very happy with my current results and hope to continue down this path.

The operation continues

Just got done with this weeks weigh in and I am happy to report that I am down another 0.8 pounds bringing my total weight loss to date to 9.8 pounds. I was hoping to hit 10 pounds this week, but I fell a little short. That just means I will have to make sure to hit it next week. I am still happy that I am down some more no matter how small, a loss is always good in this matter for me.

An Awsome (Weight) Week

I just got back from my weekly weigh in, and man was I surprised! In a good way though. I wasn’t to sure I had done well last week, not sure why really. I knew on Saturday I had eaten a little more than I should have (Melissa and I went out to her parents house and hand dinner there), but otherwise I did pretty well. Never the less, I was still a little worried, but for no reason apparently! I am down 3.2 pounds for the week!! That’s a new personal best, and it brings my total weight loss up to 9 pounds! Man I hope I can keep this up!
