Another weigh in, another win.

I won our weigh in again tonight. That is 4 out of 6. Not a bad record. I lost 2.75 lbs this past week. Isn't that wonderful? Another 1/2 lb and I will be down 25 total. I am keeping my fingers crossed and am sure that I will reach that milestone at the next weigh in. I can do this.

The day is here again.

Today is weigh in day again. I don't think that I lost much weight this week. I watched what I ate and did pretty well with my eating. I did have a pretty fantastic loss last week so I doubt that today will be anything amazing. The team has started to fall apart this week. Half of Project 486 (my dh & I) were out of town all week. We stuck to our new way of eating. The other half of Project 486 (my SIL and her dh) did not eat well. It makes me worry. I know that I have it in me to complete this weight loss journey even if I have to do it alone. I also know that it is much easier with all the support that we have all had this far. I hope that they find a way to get back on track. I have come to far to quit and I think that they have too. So, until tonight.

4.75 lbs down

Our weigh in was last night and I was down another 4.75 lbs. This family support system that we have set up is incredible. I know that we can all reach our weight loss goals as long as the group sticks together. In 5 weeks I have lost a total of 21.75 lbs. Project 486 has been reduced to 413. Together the 4 of us have lost 73 lbs. I think it is crazy good.

Eat like crap and it shows on the scale.

I knew that I hadn't been eating right this week. I knew that I hadn't exercised like I should've this week. So why was I so saddened when I stepped on the scale and saw that I had lost only 1/2 a lb. I know that is better than gaining weight. I think it made me sad because I know that I could have done better. I could have exercised more than twice this past week. I could have not had the chicken fingers and fries. I did this to myself and I am tired of being this way so it made me mad when I fell down at it this week. I will get over it and I will do better. I have to.

Now on to the good news in all of this. It brings my one month total loss to...drum roll, please...17 lbs. That is unreal to me. 17 lbs in a month. A month. Can you believe it?? I wish that I had lost more this week but I will take it. Now I have to do it all again tomorrow no matter how bad I want to give up and have McDonald's. I have 138.5 lbs more to lose. This might take a while. :)

Stress Eating

Tomorrow is weigh in day and for the first time since Project 486 was started I am dreading it. I have never had a big issue with stress eating until this week. My dad has been in the hospital this week getting a stent put in his heart. Talk about stress. What is there to eat at a hospital any dang ways??? Nothing good and healthy. That's what. I stress ate and felt like crap for it later. I had chicken fingers and french fries. I might as well have gone to Zaxby's. It would have tasted better at least. I felt like giving up after my one bad meal. But that is what I have always done in the past. Instead I had to pick myself up and get back on track. It isn't the stress eating that has always caused me to fail at losing weight. It is the giving up that allowed me to fail. This time I will not give up and I will not fail.

YAY! I was down another 4.5 lbs this week. 16.5 lbs gone so far. It's got to level off soon. I am exercising my butt off.

I lost 3.5 lbs this past week. That puts me down a total of 12 lbs in two weeks. I am pretty excitied about it. I would be happy losing 1 lb a week but I will take whatever extra I lose. I won with the biggest % lost again. Pretty proud.

Our family started a weight loss group together. (Project 486) Our first weigh in was tonight. I lost 8.5 lbs this past week. I was the biggest loser. :) I won 25 bucks, that is a down payment on my new running shoes. I know it isn't healthy to lose that much so fast but it was the first week and I am eating all the time just eating healthier. Anyway, yay me.
