I'm going to go crazy here...hah...new goal- 119 on my heavier scale (the scale that's the same as the doctor's scale). GOAL- under 120 on either scale

Hungerwerks, your dedication never ceases to amaze me. I don't know how you do it. If I went from 109 to 116 I would be very upset. You lose it all like instantly. It's like some magic that you have!

It looks like everyone is doing well this month and heading in the right direction.

I was out of town for a few day, hence the missed weigh-ins. Hopefully I can head in the right direction now!

Thumbs up

Goal for Saturday, April 11: 109 straight up

4/3/15 - 109.4; 4/6 - 116.1; 4/7 - 113.45; 4/8 - 111.85; 4/9 - 111.55; 4/10 - 110.65

Official weigh-in, Saturday, April 11 - 108.8, on low scale!

I am super-psyched about this! I am definitely getting in all my medically-recommended calories this week.

Was able to do yard work on Friday. THREE AND A HALF HOURS of yard work made the difference. Without that, I don't think I would have made goal (o. k, maybe three hours would have done it!). There's just no denying that this last ten pounds does NOT want to go ANYWHERE! But it's going to, whether it likes it or not (why am I anthropomorphicizing or whatever my fat??)!

Oh, some more stats, which I just happened to record today. Hey, this is a LOT of work, so I might as well have something to show for it!

Body fat percentage (according to Weight Watchers scale): 21.4%

Measurements, 4/11/15:
Chest: 33.5
Waist: 28.75
Hips: 34.25

BMI: 20.04

3/6:

Chest: ~33.5
Waist: ~29
Hips: ~34.75

2/27/15:

Chest: 33.25
Waist: 29
Hips: 33 & 7/8 (33.87?)

2/20?/15

Chest: 33.5
Waist: 28.75
Hips: 34.5

1/29/15

Chest: 34.25
Waist: 31
Hips: 35.5

The important thing is that you're paying attention, and looking at, no pun intended, figures. I've found that, the more attention I pay, the easier it gets, because then I know what works and what doesn't. You are The Scientist, and your efforts are essential!

Still no exercise since I started working. Between my son and my schooling, and still wanting time with my husband, there isn't enough time at the moment. I'm going to watch my eating habits until classes are over, then I can use the time I set aside for my schoolwork to work out.

April
4/3: 156
4/9: 153
4/12: 155

Apparently when I start eating normally again, my weight goes back to where I expected it to be. It's not that I'm overeating, but I'm not not eating either, so I went back up.

My goal is to run 2 miles and 2.5 miles on the treadmill this week (the warm weather inspires me), in addition to getting rid of the remaining Easter candy and cleaning up my habits again; mostly adding more fruits and veggies again.
