The bad news is, in the last month my weight loss has really slowed and this week it was all I could do to [...]

Weigh-in: Week 28, Another Milestone!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

Okay, I’m claiming a 1.2 pound loss this week because I saw it on the scale once. =) That is 1.2 for the week and 66 grand total pounds lost. See my new 65 pound badge on the left.
My appetite seems to have decreased and I am trying to eat more often. I had gotten [...]

Weigh-in: Week 27, Back on Track!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

WooHoo! I do post a loss this week, 3.2 pounds! Part of this must be what I *should* have shown last week.
The week was not perfect, I ate wheat three times and peanut butter pie three times and some other snackie type things, but generally (believe it or not) got back on the kinds of [...]

Wow. I mean, WOW!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

Just realized. Six months, 44 pounds. Why, that is 7.3 pounds lost per month, almost 1.7 pounds per week. And of course with the previous 17.8, a grand total loss of 61.8 (but not in six months).
WOW!
It is just starting to sink in. I would have never set my goal that high. I mean, I [...]

Weigh-in: Week 26!! One-half YEAR!!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

Hi, I’m celebrating getting to one-half year (roughly) in spite of a 0.0 weight change this week. That’s right, no loss, first time since mid-November, before I came to Colorado.
Reason: snackie, snackie, snackie. I lost track of how many times this week I opted for things that were obviously not good in the diet direction: [...]

Weigh-in: Week 25! WooHoo!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

This doesn’t mean I skipped a week, but somewhere back there I got off track on my weekly numbers. This really is the end of week 25, since the day I started back dieting and began this blog: August 10, 2008. This means next Sunday will be 1/2 year!!
Today — drumroll — down two pounds. [...]

And I’m still here! Yea! I remember one of my first goals was to make it to the end of the month, which made 3 weeks, in August.
Yep, down 1.6 to 240.4, a total loss of 59.6, down 40.8 since beginning this time on August 10. 40 pounds! Three week average: 1.87 pounds per week. [...]

Weigh-in: Week 22, Oh, Wow! Oh, Wow

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

Down 2.4 pounds, down 58 pounds since top weight, down 39.2 pounds since beginning again last August, 5 months and 8 days ago. That is an average for the last three weeks of 2 pounds per week. And my waist just hit 45″ for the first time in years, down 13 inches! I’m liking this [...]

Weigh-in: Week 21, Another Pleasant Surprise

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

I really expected a gain this week, or at least not a loss. My eating included wheat about 4 days which not only usually causes bloat and weight gain but is a trigger food that leads to cravings and poor food choices. I’m talking a pound of dark chocolate, a piece of pizza, several pieces [...]

Weigh-in: Week 20, Still Going…!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

This week was down two pounds from last week, down .2 pounds from Thursday, my monthly weigh-in. In any case, I will take it. These maintain my *low end* of the upper 240ies, an exciting place to be, and have me all excited about getting into the lower 240ies.
The difference is that I’ve lost weight [...]

Weigh-in: Month 5, Happy New Year!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

Oh, this knocked my socks off this morning! Well, truthfully I had removed my socks before stepping on the scale but wow! For the last week, the days I got on the scale were mostly showing high - several pounds high - for no apparent reason. I was NOT looking forward to my monthly weigh-in [...]
