Weight Loss Journey

Let’s get with the program

by jen on March 13, 2011

Geez… I’ve not made a post since November?   Doesn’t seem like that’s right, but I guess so. Well it’s been a bittersweet couple of months.  Bitter because I’ve gained weight.  I hate running down the stairs and feeling the extra weight jiggle.  Yes, even at my weight, you can tell when you’re carrying more.  Sweet [...]

Well I was actually up last week again… gulp… but out of town and didn’t get a chance to update.  I’m back to 265.8 — which makes it look like I’m staying the same for the past number of weeks.  UGH.  It’s better than gaining though.  I have a new food shipment coming this week, [...]

Plus Size Bloggers: Starting Weigh-In

by jen on October 10, 2010

I faced the scale today.  265.8  Not happy, but no one to blame but myself.  I was watching a Ricky Gervais comedy special last night and a portion of his routine was about how people say obesity is a disease…. of course he was poking fun at it… and I did chuckle with it, but [...]

June 14, 2010 — Weight Update

by jen on June 14, 2010

Weight today:  255.8  (-3.0) Total lost – 23.4 I can’t believe it’s almost been a MONTH since I last posted my weight.  It’s been a rollercoaster month which unfortunately included a few binges.  Nothing specific — just food in large quantities that I know is not right.  My last binge was this past Saturday.  What started out innocently [...]

Weight today:  258.8  (-0.6) Total lost – 20.4 I’ m really late posting this.  I would have liked to have lost more this week, but I’ll take it.  I stayed pretty straight on plan — no binging.  I weighed myself everyday and at one point I was up to 262?!?  It got frustrating.   After I weighed in on Sunday, [...]

Weight today:  259.4  (-5.2)     Total lost – 19.8 I have not seen the 250′s on the scale since 2006!!  That is so rewarding for me.  I could not be any more happy with myself.  I will be the first to admit that a lot of what I lost was water from the previous week.  I know I [...]

May 2, 2010 – Weight Update

by jen on May 2, 2010

Weight today:  264.6  (+2.4)     Total lost – 14.6 This was not a good week.  I’m not entirely surprised.  One of my biggest challenges is staying on track outside my established routine.  No 6AM workouts, no bringing lunches to work, not really even paying for any of my meals.  At this point, it’s something I have [...]

April 25, 2010 — Weight Update

by jen on April 25, 2010

Weight today:  262.2  (-3.2)     Total lost – 17.0 I just realized that last week I said I was 275.4  Making myself 10lbs heavier – geez.  Changing that now!  Overall it was a successful week.  While I started the week in the dumper with massive allergies, they eventually subsided a bit (and left me with a nice [...]

April 18, 2010 – Weight Update

by jen on April 18, 2010

Weight today: 265.4  (-1.4) Total lost:  – 13.8 I chuckle now, but I was so upset as I got on the scale and saw no loss.  After five “step-ons” the scale and the same number, I cried a couple tears.  Wondering why am I trying so hard if nothing is going to happen and all [...]

Better eating = better binge control

by jen on April 12, 2010

This blog is not solely about losing weight — and while I don’t want to make weight loss the focus, the truth is I am very overweight.  The primary reason I need to get my binging under control is because of my current weight.  I am already starting to see some decline in my health.  My joints are wearing [...]
