lose 40 pounds

Weighed myself this morning – 294.4 lbs. Yay! Lost 2.2 lbs in the past couple months without trying. It’s slow, but it’s the right direction. 9.4 pounds to go!

I think it was Monday – my weight was 296.6 lbs. 11.6 pounds to go!

I can’t remember which day it was – I think on the weekend that I recently weighed myself. After losing all the extra fluid due to the surgeries to correct my blood clot, I’m at 298.8 pounds. Whoo! 285 will meet this goal, so 13.8 lbs to go.

Week of May 25: Curves once
I ended up taking the week of June 1 off.
Week of June 8: Curves twice

On Friday (6/12), I was weighed and measured at Curves; it’s part of their little program, even though it doesn’t matter to me what inches or even what pounds I lose or how quickly – I just know I want to be healthier and happier, and that losing weight is part of both. I weighed 303 by their scale, which is clearly some improvement. I’ll have to check on my own scale to see how that compares.

Went to Curves Wednesday and Friday.

Went to Curves Monday and Thursday.

Went to Curves Monday and Friday.

This morning my weight was 308.7 lbs. I’ll aim for 305 as a short goal, making the 20 mark again (from my highest weight). Of course, 285 is still the final mark for this goal.

I have felt so incredibly fat lately as a side effect from the steroids that sometimes I just avoid mirrors! I know the steroids cause water retention, so I’m doing my best to limit sugar and salt (because they also cause that) and eat moderately. So far, so good, and I do see a different in how swollen my face is. I just wish progress wasn’t so slow. STUPID STEROIDS.

302.0 lbs. Yes, it’s been a long time since I posted. That’s because the scale was mostly going the other way for the past couple months. But I appear to be back on track. 17 lbs to go.

A few days ago when I checked, I weighed 305.0 lbs. Twenty pounds lost – check! Twenty more to go.
