I think I’ve been mentally writing this blog post since yesterday’s WI, or even from Thursday when I sensed that I just might hit 50 lbs down this week. I still cannot believe I did it. 50 lbs lost in a hair less than six months. For some time, one of my mini-goals had been [...]

I’ve been focusing a lot on scale victories because they’re something quantifiable. Measaurable. Speaking of which, I’m due to do my measurements. In the interim though, I’ve noticed a lot of other changes. NSVs. Non Scale Victories. * In addition to my collarbones, I also have knee caps and hip bones. The latter surprised me [...]

I was not at all confident about this week’s weigh in as I’m sick and wasn’t sure a) the weight of the crud in my head and b) any impact of antibiotics. Plus, my throat hurt and I wasn’t great about drinking yesterday. Got on the scale this morning and was pleasantly surprised. Down 2 [...]

my five-week weigh in is Tuesday morning. I can’t believe the progress I’ve made in nearly five weeks. Last Tues. AM I weighed in at 192.5. Down 16.5 pounds! Granted almost eight of that was the first week, but it’s still 16.5 I’ve earned two 5 lb stars as well as my 5%. Well “earned” [...]
