Today’s Weight: 209.5 lbs
Total Weight Loss: 9.2 lbs
Percentage Weight Loss: 4.2%

Things I’m proud of myself for (from last week):  Working on my fear of my size. I am scared that the clothes I ordered won’t fit. But there is no reason it shouldn’t. Size large shirt, size 14 jeans. There is no reason these things shouldn’t fit. And lately, I have been feeling bigger then I really am, which I know is just a brain trip. I’ve lost almost 67 lbs. I am obviously not the same person I was. And not eating all things when I was sad.

Things I could improve on: Stop watching Gossip Girl all the time.

I hope everyone else had a great week 6!

Also, this is my WIW too I guess. So….

M E A S U R E M E N T S —

Weight:
highest - 280 lbs.
starting - 275 lbs. 276 lbs.
was - 210.7 lbs
now - 209.5 (-1.2)

Inches lost since May 18th: 7.75”
Total Inches lost: 52.5”
Total Pounds lost: 66.5 lbs (24.1%)

I was really hoping that I could reach 25% weight loss by my 25th birthday,
but I don’t think there is a way I can loose 2.5 lbs by then. But that’s ok. I am no longer in the 210s, or the 220s, or the 230s, or the 240s, or the 250s….or the 260s, or the 270s.

Wow, that’s a lot of intervals…..

I am proud of myself though, and I’ve gone through a lot to get here. And I am definitely not the same person I was when I started this journey, and not because of the weight loss.

Starting Weight: 218.7 lbs
Today’s Weight: 210.7 lbs
Total Weight Loss: 8.0 lbs
Percentage Weight Loss: 3.7%

Things I’m proud of myself for (from last week): That I more or less didn’t eat all things while on my period. That I didn’t give myself too hard a time for watching Merlin instead of studying. That I thought to use the quadratic equation to solve for x in rx^2 + sx + t=0. 

Things I could improve on: Everything really, but I’m working on it.

I can’t believe I’ve already lost 8 lbs on this challenge. If you had told me 2 months ago that that would ever be possible I would have laughed in your face. There are only 4 more lbs until my goal too. Well shit. I can totally do this. Only wish I could exercise to help out the progress. Also, knee has gotten worse with the cold. I have taken to wearing a thigh high sock on that leg, it seems to be helping.

I hope everyone else had a great week 5! (I know this is a day late, but 2 am weigh ins are stupid and wrong hahaha)

Things I’m proud of myself for (from last week): I got to see Karen (so much awesome) even though I was tired, I wasn’t a hermit!! That even though my thanksgiving/birthday is completely stressing me out I only had 1 break-down. I ended two bad/fucked up relationships/friendships. I didn’t eat all things because of the previous two points. That I didn’t freak out when my weight was all the way up to 215.6 lbs this week. AND THAT I AM NO LONGER OBESE!!!!

Things I could improve on: KEEP watching sodium, drink more water (!!), remember to take multi-vitamin folic acid, keep cooking, see cousins, start walking dogs (get non-knee hurting sneakers).

I’m also breaking up with my bank this week.

I hope everyone else had a great week 4!

 Anywho….

I hope y’all are ready to send me ALL the presents. :-)

Things I’m proud of myself for (from last week): Weight loss. NOTHING else. I don’t want to get into it, this past week was horrible.

Things I could improve on: KEEP watching sodium, drink more water (!!), remember to take multi-vitamin folic acid, keep cooking, start walking dogs (get non-knee hurting sneakers first).

I hope everyone else had a great week 3!

And thank god today is already a better day. (Starting off the day jammin out and dancing to Beyonce and Florence while cooking bacon and having a late start day definitely improves the day drastically)

Percentage Weight Loss: 1.7%

 Anywho….

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! I guess my wet hair weighed more then I thought, which isn’t surprising seeing as how much hair I have….

Also, am I going to like demolish my goal or what? I’m almost 1/2 way there already…

Things I’m proud of myself for (from last week): I more or less stuck to my carbs last week, BUT I didn’t beat myself up for having more on our awesome birthday picnic. I relaxed about it, but still kept things in check. I didn’t have a chance to make anything new…but this past week seems like a blur. I seriously don’t remember most of it. Weird….OH! And I watched my sodium and did attempt to drink more water.

Need to remember the rest though.

Things I could improve on: KEEP watching sodium, drink more water, remember to take multi-vitamin, keep cooking, start walking dogs (get non-knee hurting sneakers first).

I hope everyone else had a great week 2!

How are you all doing the percent loss?

Starting Weight: 218.7 lbs

Today: —

Today I started Shark Week. However if you go by the lowest weight I weighed in at it was 217.3 lbs, which would be a loss of 1.4 lbs, but that was on Friday…. So…we’ll have to wait (I wrote weight 3 times…) until next week

Things I’m proud of myself for (from last week): I more or less stuck to my carbs last week, even with shark week coming in for the kill and having a dire need of a chocolate chip cookie. AND I made TWO new dishes (three if you count the vegan cupcakes), which is more new dishes then I made….in a long while!

Things I could improve on: Watch sodium, drink more water, stop buying new clothes,  remember to take multi-vitamin, keep cooking, start walking dogs (get non-knee hurting sneakers first).

I hope everyone else had a great week 1!

Starting Weight: 218.7

Real quick, re: my weight

Weight Loss Goal: 12 lbs

Non-Weight Loss Goal:

1. Fit into (size 14 H&M) goal #1 skirt—can’t even zip right now.
2. Fit into Mad Med-esque dress. (Haven’t tried it on in a while so I don’t know where I am with this one).
3. Cook/bake new things. New Whole Foods Cookbook rocks, now just to use it…

This Week’s Goal(s):

1. Keep kicking ass on the reduced carb thing
2. Not have a breakdown while my mom is out of town (she went to see her sister again, more on that later) and I have to take care of my dad and homework.

I’m so excited for this.

What are you talking about? You mean I’m not a tiny blond southern girl from the 1920s? Sad day.

Side Notes: I guess I’ll have to use my 2 am weight cause I don’t have a way to weigh myself now. Actually just less than 209 would be awesome. Although, cause I’m probably the biggest one doing this I wont win cause my % weight loss will be less. *shrug* We shall see what happens
