Monday Weigh In

I've been doing okay with my eating, not so much with walking, but my dear hubby shared his virus with me. Feeling slightly better today...not completely well though.

This a.m. I weighed...194. Couldn't wait till Thursday to share that. Hurray! Been a while since I've seen these kind of numbers on the scale.

I know that still sounds big, and it kind of is, but bear in mind that I'm 5'11".

That's 25 pounds GONE.

Thursday Weigh In

The numbers are in, folks...

As of this morning I weigh...197.5 pounds. Yeah! I hope the 200's are gone forever.

Thursday Weigh In...Ummm

It's not happening today. I don't have a new battery for my scale yet so I can't weigh. My friend Tacie doesn't want to weigh and I totally understand that. I've been there...empty bag of Cheetos...cookie crumbs...receipt from a buffet restaurant... Look at that number between my feet the next morning? I don't think so.

It's goofy. Why do we think that NOT weighing is going to change anything? I guess we need to figure out if seeing bad news will discourage us and send us scrounging through the pantry for a box of Little Debbies, or whether we will be spurred on to better eating and exercise plans.

I did eat a few Hershey's kisses with almonds last night. A few. That's a change for me. I'm not too scared to weigh, but I can't. Convenient, eh?

Thursday Weigh In

My weight this a.m. was 199.5. Only a half-pound down from last week, but I'll take it! Especially since I haven't been walking consistently. I've been driving consistently though. Does that count? How about knitting? I need to look up how many calories per hour that burns up.

Thursday Weigh In: Teetering on the Brink

Hi, I'm back. Did you miss me??? All one of you.

My computer was out of whack for a couple days, but here is this morning's weight: 200 pounds even. I gotta break through to the 1's! I know it's just a psychological thing, but it's been SO long since my weight has started with a 1 consistently.

Thursday Weigh In

My friend Tacie has decided to post her weight on Thursday, so I think I'll follow her lead. I belong to TOPS and weigh in there every Tuesday evening, but of course my weight is a bit higher then because it's in the evening and I'm fully clothed except for shoes. I don't weigh myself every day at home but do check at least every other day. My scale is NOT that reliable but until I get a better one, here goes:

My weight for this morning was: 200.5 lbs. I had broken the "200" barrier, just barely, for a short time. I will again. Even more exciting than breaking the sound barrier!

That's a nineteen pound loss since October; I have gained back one of the pounds I've lost but basically I'm holding steady. Actually, I gained 2.5 pounds during Christmas and then lost that. So I'm on one of those "plateaus" they speak of, but I'm happy I'm not in rapid-gain mode!

I haven't been walking as faithfully so that's one of my goals. The other is to drink LOTS of water.
