I know it’s not Weigh In Wed but I couldn’t very well go to bed and not tell you guys that I am down 9 lbs. I know, I can hardly believe it myself.
I don’t know what it was about today but I just got this strange feeling that I should weigh myself. I had this empty feeling inside. I wasn’t hungry. I have been drinking my water. I’ve been working out. It was weird. It was just a feeling that something was missing.
When I stepped on the scale I had my clothes on. I didn’t really think much about it until after I stepped on the scale and saw the dial around the 178 mark. After I came down stairs I got to thinking to myself, “wait a minute! that was with clothes on!” So I ran back up stairs, took it all off and sure enough the dial hit the 176 mark. Yay!!!
I’m telling you guys it’s so much better to just update the good news as soon as you get it because you don’t know how long it’s going to last. If I haven’t made any progress I really don’t want to post my actual weigh in on Wednesdays. I just want to take it when I can get it and post it right away. So here is where I’m at:
- Start Weight = 185
- Current Weight = 176
- I’ve Lost 9
- My Goal = 150
- 26 Left To Lose
- Here’s My Last Weigh In Wed
- Here’s My Last Status Update
I’m going to Las Vegas next month. I’m wondering where I can take this weight loss to before my trip. It’s kind of exciting! I can’t believe it’s starting to turn. I thought because of my Hypothyroid it would be very hard for it to come off and it has been! But now that I’m starting to make progress I feel like my momentum is up along with my spirits. Yay!!!! : )
Now I can go to bed. I’m so glad I told you guys about it.

Great Job!!! Just keep at it! I know how good it feels when you’ve been working your butt off (literally) toward a goal and you can see yourself inching toward it! I’m so happy for you!

Don’t go bonkers and restrict yourself further. That will backlash. It is tempting to do it, but resist it. You’ve been developing better eating habits and- even more important-a consistent, regular exercise regime. Keep it up, that’s all you should do, again, don’t go beserk! But by all means: treat yourself to something pretty ( a shirt, earrings, something!). Replace one big pair of jeans and pants with a new better fitting one (throw the old one out). Congratulations-what you’ve achieved is amazing.

well, how about that? good for us. i was at 28% body fat last fall at two health fairs. that worked out to be 54 pounds. that was too much. so i joined 24 hour fitness at the beginning of the year. i was around 184 then. so at 176, that is about a pound a week and i’m gaining some muscle tone back.

You know what the best part is you guys? I stepped back on the scale and it didn’t point back up to 180.
I can’t believe my weight is starting to dip down. Sometimes I wonder if getting off the anti depressants is helping me? Maybe it was taking my body a little while to readjust?
But then I have this thought that pops into my head.. perhaps it’s a God thing. It has to be. I’ve been praying about it almost every single day ever since Becky Terabassi came to our church to speak on prayer.
My life has been immensely different ever since I started “My Partner Prayer Notebook” and reading “Change Your Life Daily Bible” – I’m good about it and even on the days that I miss talking to God I double up the next day.
I haven’t really been having to double up all that much though because I really look forward to do this every day.
You know I’ll be keeping you guys posted and really appreciate all the Kudos and Encouragement. It’s Nice. I Need That. You Guys Rock.

Sandra – I Love That Quote!
Charla – Thank You So Much! We need to do another play date some time.
Sildi – Thanks. I try not to go too nuts with the food restrictions. In fact, the other day I did splurge on some chips.. I just didn’t eat half the bag. I only ate like 5 or 6 chips. Not Bad! The other thing is that I think as long as I stick to working out 5 times p/week as my minimum and continue with ab work even on days that I don’t work out – I should keep losing. Lots of water too.
Marc – How are you liking 24 Hour Fitness? Congrats on your weight loss too! I was pretty pumped when I saw that you were trying to lose too.
Heather – You have known me a Long time. You Get It. You understand what I used to look like, where I’ve been, and where I’m at today. So Thank You! I Love You!
(For those wondering.. Heather is my SIL. She is married to my brother Chris.)
