My weigh-in was what it was.
The scale is difficult to read (not digital), old and not adjustable. MAYBE I’m still weighing in where I was last week, maybe I was reading it wrong the last two weeks.
I refuse to get frustrated. My temptation is to go drop $50 on a scale. Nope. My choice is [...]

Today was my first weekly weigh-in in months. Down one pound. I’ll take it!
It doesn’t feel like I’ve been doing all that well at my goals. Yet…
I am drinking some water, but rarely three glasses a day. I’m eating two eggs… most days. And I haven’t eaten after midnight, at least I don’t think I [...]

My Weight Chart:

If you read this post before I update the chart again it will show the dip below the halfway mark…
Down 58.2 pounds since last August (and starting this chart), but down 77 pounds total, from my top weight of 300.
My ultimate goal is 150, so 225 was the half way point. I weighed [...]

That is one pound past the half-way mark!!
Okay, here’s the *facts,* ma’am. Top weight 300, today 224.
Down 7 pounds for the month of April, total loss 76 pounds!!! from top weight, 57.2 since beginning again and starting this blog, August 10, 2008.
My very next goal is to hold this or beat it Sunday for my [...]

This week my Sunday weigh-in showed a 1-pound loss. At least that is the way the needle looked to me… Digital was easier, but it is still shocking to see that needle drop.
This is 1 pound above the half-way point. Total loss is 74 pounds from top weight and 55.2 lost since August and beginning [...]

This morning the scale read 227, down 4 pounds from last week’s obviously mis-leading gain. WooHoo! It has taken me 2 months to lose this last 10 pounds, but, I’ll take it!
I have become sooooooo grateful for all the weeks I’ve been able to weigh in on digital scales. And now I am sooooooo grateful that [...]

Don’t know what happened, I wrote and saved this but it disappeared! My apologies - faithful readers - for not posting all week, not even my weigh-in.
Speaking of faithful readers, THANK YOU! Faithful readers, without you I feel sure I would have given up blogging about my weightloss, and then I would have given up [...]

Well, I knew I had been distracted lately, but this is just plain silly!
I passed the 50 pounds lost mark, since starting again last August (when I started this blog) and didn’t even notice! It happened eight days ago.
Down 70 pounds since my top weight, but now a total of 51.2 pounds lost since starting [...]

I figure I may as well get happy about this. =)
Down 2 pounds from last week. Now the caveat: I’m on scales that are not digital, so, no more tenths. This means I’m closer to 230 than 231, but in truth may not be quite all the way there.
In any case, it is *down* and [...]

One pound. But, that puts me back at my lowest weigh-in weight, back where I was two weeks ago. 68 pounds down from top weight; 49.2 below where I started again last August. I’ll take it.
Obviously this is good, but a trend would be better. I’m grateful. 82 pounds to goal.

This is the first week I have had to post a gain since mid-November: one pound. It has been a struggle to get below or even hold the loss since seeing 232.8 three weeks ago.
Not sure what it will take to break this. My family keeps pointing out it may be that I am building [...]

This week posted a 0.8 loss, for which I am very grateful. It has taken me 3 weeks to lose 2 pounds, and I’ve pretty much been fighting for every inch of territory taken back.
That is a total loss of 68 pounds with 82 pounds to go. Weight loss since beginning again in August ‘08 [...]
