Weighin Week 118

Weight 276.5  (gain 3 lbs)   It could have been worse.  I had Chinese take out for dinner last night, and even though I didn’t have much, I usually gain a lot (most likely from the sodium).  This weekend is the last for eating three small meals a day before starting on yet another new food plan (very [...]

Two Blog Discoveries

Good morning. Since I’m on a 3-day vacation this weekend, I thought it would be nice to leave you with two blog recommendations. I just discovered these blogs last week and enjoy them and I think you will too.
This ecard showed up in my inbox and I laughed out loud. It just cracked me up. If it’s [...]

Ignoring the Scale

Week 106 – Yes I know everyone is waiting with baited breath for my usual Saturday morning weighin.  I’m sure my lack of posting the scale readings will affect the betting odds in Vegas for all those who gamble on how much I actually gained this week.  
But I have decided to totally ignore the scale [...]

Friday Free For All

Teacherman and Angelgirl are home today (schools are closed) and my office is closing early this afternoon so we can get a head start on the long weekend.  I’m very excited.  We have a family outing when I get home in about an hour.
After a sneak peek at the scale yesterday showing a four pound [...]

Weighin Week 106

Weight: 242.5     Lost 4.5 lbs
Nice to see a little loss, but I know better then to get too excited (after all a huge overnight weight gain could happen again at any time).
I made sure I didn’t do too much physically to help get the inflammation to lessen and doubled my aspirin intake. I usually take [...]

Pardon My Grumblings

You’ll have to excuse my tummy grumblings for a few days. 
Today as promised I started back on the Medifast Diet.  Which means lots of tummy grumbling, a bit of grumpiness and a low grade migraine!   The first three days are the hardest, but hopefully the hunger will ease up and become bearable soon.  At least [...]

Weighin Week 103

Weight: 240.5     (lost .5 lb)
A small loss is definitely better than a gain! 
Today I’m kicking back and relaxing, focusing on being happy.  I made a run to the craft store for yarn to make a couple projects (like another hat for Angelgirl), and the makings for the gift Angelgirl is going to make me for [...]

Weighin Week 102

Weight: 241   Gain 14 lbs
The gain was within two days.  I checked the scale two days ago and it was the same as last week.  I knew I had gained some because I had felt the “water bags” under my arms swelling and under my ribs is bloated and sore (liver perhaps? I have several [...]

Weighin Week 101

Weight:  227   lost 2.5 lbs
It’s progress, I admit I had hoped for more – but definitely doesn’t matter in the long run.   As long as the water weight is decreasing, slow and steady is the way to go.
Food for the week was the usual:  breakfast and lunch: plain oatmeal and apples, except for two days [...]

100 Weeks of Fatblogging – Weighin Week 100

Weight:  229.5    Lost 13 lbs (that is almost 2 lbs a day! – the new perscription (double the diuretic)  is really helping)
So only 35 pounds left to lose of the 48 lbs of water weight gained the last several weeks from inflammation and water retention   (for a brief summary of recent medical and weight issues see Week 98)
Can you believe it’s been 100 weeks of [...]
