Weigh-in Friday

VICTORY!

So, it's been a while. 

As most of you know, and some don't, I moved to Lynchburg this past August and kind of lost track of staying healthy. I saw my weight balloon from 177 all the way back up to 195. After noticing how far I was slipping, I rededicated myself to getting in shape and have worked hard to finally reach my goal weight of 175 I set for myself back in September 2011.

Well, I can finally say I have reached my goal weight, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks to all that kept up with my results, and hopefully in another years time, I'll be able to report that I'm still just as healthy as I am today.

Weigh-in Thursday

0.8 pounds!

Back to back strong weeks have got me closer than ever to my goal of 175 pounds! It's been a long time coming, but I can finally see the finish line in sight!

Weigh-in Wednesday

0.8 pounds!

Lately it seems as if my weight is controlled by a yo-yo. Some weeks I'm 179, the next I'm in the low 178's. Hopefully next week I'll break the cycle and get past the 178 barrier!

Weigh-in Wednesday

0.7 pounds gained

Cheesecake, Banana Splits, a pint of ice cream... all part of my birthday celebration... yet I only gained 0.7 pounds. I'll take that amount every week! 

Back on the wagon this week as I head towards 175!

Weigh-in Wednesday

0.9 pounds!

 

Back to losing this week. I have till Sunday to reach my goal of 175 by my birthday (unlikely) but I'll definitely keep working at it till I finally reach it.

 

While I may not reach my goal by the target date, I've come to appreciate the journey I've been on from when I really got serious with my diet this past January.

Weigh-in Wednesday

0.1 pounds gained

Not much going on this week in terms of weight loss. On the bright side, I was able to stay under 180 for back to back weeks for the very first time! On the negative side... it looks like it'll be harder and harder to hit 175 by July 22 as I originally planned.

Weigh-in Thursday

1.4 pounds!

Not a bad number for the July 4th holiday! Back in the 170's... this time I hope it's permanent!

Weigh-in Wednesday

No change in weight

Certainly not the best news ever... but no change in weight is always better than a gain, right? Haven't been to the gym in a few weeks as life has been a bit hectic; but if I want to get back on track, I think a trip to ACAC will be in short order.

Weigh-in Wednesday

2.3 pounds gained

Well. That's no good. Can't say I'm very surprised, though. When you overeat and don't work out... your body tends to pack on the pounds. Thankfully the damaged wasn't so bad that it'll take weeks and weeks to catch up... but it's a good reminder that if I want to reach my goal of 175 by July 22, I have to keep my diet in check.

Weigh-in Wednesday

2.7 pounds!

Happy days are here again! Big week for me as I finally break into the 170s! While it hasn't always been easy, I'm now just 3.2 pounds away from my goal of 175 pounds. If I can reach that by July 22 (my birthday) I can't think of a better gift to give myself.

Weigh-in Wednesday

0.6 pounds gained

Not a good week. Ate too much, didn't exercise enough... and I put on weight. Then again, it's less than a pound and I think I'll survive. 

Onward and upwards to better results next week... right?

Weigh-in Wednesday

1.3 pounds!

FINALLY! It feels so good to get on the scale and see a loss... but it is especially gratifying after two weeks without any positive movement on the scale!

So close to my goal of 175 (5.3 pounds)... but even closer to getting under 180!

What I've truly learned these past two weeks is that I just need to keep on working out and eating right... and the results will come, even if they're a bit delayed!

Weigh-in Wednesday

No change in weight

What in the wide world of sports is going on here? Two disappointing weeks in a row? I've definitely hit a plateau in the weight loss game... just have to keep on working hard, and continue to hope the weight will eventually start dropping again.

Weigh-in Wednesday

0.2 pounds gained

Well, the day finally came.

After having not gained weight since January 25, a span of over three months, I finally gained weight. I really was disappointed in the weight gain this week... but then I took a step back and accessed my progress, and realized I can't be too upset with this TEMPORARY setback. And that's all this is, temporary, because I'm not going to stop working till I hit my target weight.

So here's to a better number next week, and starting another string of losses for the next three months.

Weigh-in Wednesday

1.3 pounds!

Truly blessed.

Weigh-in Wednesday

2.6 pounds!

So, it's not 1.6 pounds, but I think it's pretty good! Amazing how I'm starting to lose weight again after a few weeks of very small loses. Truth be told, I can't remember the last time I was this weight... but I still have work to do, so I'll keep working at it!

Weigh-in Wednesday

1.6 pounds!

Back to back weeks of losing 1.6 pounds really has me in a good mood! This week was a lot of exercising, so I actually felt like I earned the weight loss, compared to last week where I slacked off! Not to be greedy... but sure would be nice for a third straight loss of 1.6 pounds next week!

One can only hope.

Weigh-in Wednesday

1.6 pounds!

Didn't workout at all this week, ate bad and in general was lazy. Still lost 1.6 pounds anyways. Who doesn't deserve some luck now and again?

Weigh-in Wednesday

0.6 pounds!

A week after posting my lowest weight loss so far, I get back on track this week with a little over half a pound off the scale! 

 

Especially proud of this weight as I survived Easter where I definitely had my fill of candy, cake and cookies.

Weigh-in Wednesday

0.3 pounds!

Was bummed to see ONLY a loss of 0.3 pounds this week. Really got after it in the gym and tried to eat right... but after losing 1.7 last week, I can't complain too much. Just another step in the march to 175!
