Weigh-In Week 6 of Year 2

I worked pretty hard this week but the results were not very good.  I have been doing this long enough to know that once you right the ship, your body may take a little time to catch up.  You may not see the weight loss right away but it will come.  I once had a woman in our Optifast Group that said she lost inches not weight.  She could see the inches but the scale did not tell her the right story. In the end, she lost lots of weight and lots of inches.  So with that in mind, I keep working hard — I keep planning, eating well, and walking. I keep going to the YMCA and swimming. And I will see the “inches” and eventually the weight.

Disney with the family is coming and I would like to be below 300 lbs. before I get on those rides!

Weigh-In Week 5 of Year 2

Spring Break — Yes, I went out-of-town and yes I gained weight.  I will tell you that I am back on track and did not go off the rails too much.  Most of the problem was eating and driving.  If I ate just carrots while I drove it would have been fine, but I did not.  My general snack food is baby carrots and pretzels — no fat pretzels that are high in protein and low in carbs.  (Hard Sourdough are the best in that category.)

I could count my weight gains in chunks of 5 lbs. I would gain quickly and not be able to get it off.  Every Monday I would start a new diet and every Tuesday I would say next Monday I will start a new diet.  This time I only gained a little and I got right back on the diet — not caring if it was Monday or not.  The other thing I will say is that I remind myself that it is very painful to lose weight – but when you gain weight you don’t say — Wow!  I really ate some good stuff.  I had the best lasagna of my life!  No, the food is never worth the weight gain.

So, I am working hard this week.  Disney with the family is coming and I would like to be below 300 lbs. before I get on those rides!
