Let’s Just Say I Didn’t Win

Stepped on the scale this morning - 166. Yes, I have GAINED a 1/2 lb in this fat fighting competition.

The most I’ve ever lost in the past two months was 3 lbs. Even though the contest ends for me, the fight continues.… ...Continue reading

I’m back down to my lowest weight so far this competition, despite 3 pieces of pizza (Yes, again!), a slice of cheesecake (yes, again), and no exercise yesterday.… ...Continue reading

I gained a 1/2 lb back, but I’m glad it was JUST 1/2 lb. I ate a lot of bread yesterday plus a slice of cheesecake.  And 3 pieces of pizza.

Did you know Walmart bakes REALLLY GOOD bread?

I also can confirm that the ready-made Philadelphia cheesecake filling is very yummy.

I did get some exercise in (kicking the soccer ball around with my daughter + pilates). But usually I don’t see the results of that for 2 days.… ...Continue reading

I lost another 1/2 lb. over the weekend! This is much better than last weekend.

I’m also finally starting to feel energetic again. I had the flu when this fat fight first started and I read you can feel fatigued for up to 2 weeks after. So I’m glad that the fatigue is finally waning.  I think it definitely helps the diet.

Also, I think it improves my chances of exercising.… ...Continue reading

February 21, 2008 - 162.5

Finally, I’m making some real progress!

Yesterday, I ate a really yummy Mango Coconut Chicken Salad Sandwich at the TIMA (Triangle Interactive Marketing Association) luncheon, though I didn’t eat the crust for some reason. And I did not eat the brownie, despite how GOOD it looked.

I did have 2 chocolate chip cookies later at home, but they weren’t very big.

Then I had a Quizno’s salad, which i thought was an achievement, until I checked today and with the flatbread and dressing - it was 1000 calories! WHAT?!?!!!

oh well, it was all balanced out by the few calories I had earlier in the day. Plus, I was slightly more active than usual. And I went to bed hungry.… ...Continue reading

I’m back on track, but you might not want to know how. Let’s just say that yesterday I was visited by the kind of situation best treated with Immodium.… ...Continue reading

 

February 19, 2008 - 164.5/165.0

I was weighing myself today and the scale stopped at 164.5. I was getting excited about losing 1/2 lb from yesterday. But the last second, the scale tipped to 165.0.

What a scam!… ...Continue reading

 

February 18, 2008 - 165.0 - ARGH!

I tried this weekend, I really did. For most of the hours this weekend, I tried hard. In fact, Saturday, I did really well - but didn’t lose any weight.

Friday and Sunday I did good - until around 11pm when I start to get hungry. Now, I know that in order to lose weight, I have to go to bed hungry. But this weekend, I didn’t find the willpower to say “no” to the Doritos. Or the chocolate that my mom brought us for Valentine’s Day.

So I gained 2.5 lbs back. Not good.

I know that ultimately success is going to be more likely on my dedication to exercise, which I’ve done all of about 1 time since this whole Fat Fight started. But I did get really sick. And I’m… ...Continue reading

 

February 15, 2008 - 163.0

It was especially good news to lose another 1/2 lb. b/c I ate 4 pieces of Brooklyn style pizza from Domino’s last night!

Plus about 3 cookies and 2 pieces of chocolate. I did have a salad for lunch yesterday.

I know I haven’t lost in big numbers like the others have, but I am losing steadily and not giving up what I love to eat. I’m just eating in smaller quantities (minus the pizza last night, of course!).

And like I pointed out yesterday, if I continue to lose a 1/2 lb a day, I’ll meet my goal in just 2 months. Now, to be realistic, there will be days I fall out of the fewer calories plan, so it’s important that I begin adding exercise in the mix and have some… ...Continue reading
