And so on...

Well, it's been a couple weeks since we were able to meet with the group. And while I felt that I should have been able to lose more than I did...most of the group actually gained...eek. So, I guess I don't feel as bad. But in the past two weeks I have lost about 4.5 pounds. I think everyone realized that it is really important to have the meetings every week. Because without them, the only person we have to be accountable to, is ourselves...and if that worked, we would have been skinny a long time ago! So, the moral here is find a few buddies and KEEP them near...be accountable to someone striving for the same things and it helps so much.


A TIP: find more than one person to set goals with. That way if one person slacks off, you still have the other person(s) to keep you going.

Losing pounds and feeling good!


BTW, I measured my inches yesterday. Since Jan. 19th, I have lost a total of 17 inches of fat! Yay for Me! Think about it...in less than 6 weeks, 17 inches has just melted away. I never thought I could do that, but I have. I don't want to toot my own horn BUT...TOOT! TOOT!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

K- yesterday was Wed. so that meant recording the weight for another week. This week we have been sick and I didn't exercise. But fortunately, we didn't eat very much either, so I lost 3 pounds.
I am hoping my body doesn't go on strike for the under-nourishment and hold on to the fat for dear life this week.

But at least we are seeing the clouds part from within the sea of sickness that has consumed us for the last week. I would just like my energy back already!

I will have to take an updated picture soon to compare.

This & That

So, Jason and I have had the flu...yuck! Some how Lydia has managed not to get it. I have a very full week coming up so I am hoping that it subsides by tomorrow.

So, last Wed. I had my doctor's appt. and it went pretty well. The doc was pleased with my weight loss and prescribed me some Clomid as planned. So, next month I will start it after Aunt Flo visits. Apparently, you only take it for about 4 days on very specific days. Then a follow-up blood work on the 21st day to check for ovulation. So, I still have a few weeks to lose a few more pounds. I just hope that my emotions don't sky rocket for those four days.

Speaking of pounds, I made my goal last week losing 3 more pounds. That's a total of 21 so far....I am very interested to see what the scale will say this Wed. after not working out from being sick.

This month I would like to reach another 10 pound loss. We'll see how it goes.

Overall, I am really happy with the results.

Another Week on the SCALE

Okay so we had another weigh in and the results...4 pounds!!!! Woo-Hoo!! Totally excited and feeling good. My goal this week is 3 more pounds because I have my doctors appt. on Wed. I need to get down as much as I can before then. That puts my overall total since November to 18 pounds lost. I need to hit that 20 mark!
