lose 5 pounds

was probably in August. I don’t own a scale, so I used the quarter operated scale in the bathroom at the mall. It said i had lost 7 pounds! Of course, who knows how accurate those things are. I am thinking it probably is pretty close, though. I got into a pair of jeans last weekend that I havent worn in months!

Since I’ve started my new job, I’m forced to bring my own lunch, so I buy the fixin’s for salads to make in the break room. I stay so busy all day, and I’ve been eating breakfast every morning (yogurt and oatmeal, usually, or one of the two), which helps keep me from getting hungry.

I had lunch with a friend Thursday that I hadn’t seen in a few months, and they said they could definately tell. Yay me!

What it has been more than a year, probably a year and a half since I said I would get a scale. I thought I had put back on the weight that I had lost in pursuit of this goal. Now my clothes are hanging off of me, more than they have in years. I need to get a scale in order to monitor my losses and gains.

I have over the course of the last year changed my eating habits. I now eat more organic products. Drink my tea unsweetened and have converted to whole wheat wherever possible. I also find I am not eating in anticipation of a hunger that hasn’t surfaced yet. No more, "I am eating this much so I will not be hungry later!"

In an attempt to reduce our spending as a result of the recent purchase of our home, I cancelled my gym membership. It was hard, because I did love going. My schedule will be tough to work around for probably quite some time, any way. Also, my living room is much larger now, so I can break out the workout videos…just as soon as we get a working VCR…might be time to look for some DVDs. And could Spring just get here, already?? Then I will get my hind end outside & get moving!

Illness and my additional work demands have made it difficult for me to drag my butt to the gym at 5:30 am these days. I have also been slacking on my diet. Nonetheless, I feel like I must have at least lost 5 pounds. I have to admit, though, this is probably the very reason I’m feeling so tired. I was energized when I worked out. If I go to bed now, I might muster enough energy in the morning to get to the gym. Sheesh, you’d think 5 pounds would be easier than this!

Hello everybody! I’m Danika. I am trying to lose 55 to 60 lbs (5lbs at a time) after having a beautiful baby boy 5 months ago. I started working out at Curves about 2 1/2 wks ago and really enjoy it. I have lost about 3 lbs, and some inches as well. Last wk I had a setback(my uncle came to visit, and was buying all types of junkfood I wasnt suppose to have) and gained a lil of what I had lost. Not to bad though. We have weigh-in on or before the 10th of every month. So I’ll know exactly how much I have lost in weight, inches and body fat. Can’t wait!!!!

As of this morning, I have lost 5.6 lbs. I am hoping to lose about 10 per month for the next 5 months to get to my goal weight of 250 lbs.

Don’t want to lose anymore than that. It just wouldn’t look right or feel right for that matter. You ladies seem to like me cuddly and all, so I will just focus on getting healthier and stronger.

Thank you for the support.

A minor accomplishment, I know. Let’s shoot for 5 lbs more by next Friday.

I weighed myself again today…I’ve lost a total of 4 pounds!

Weird since just 2 days ago I had only lost 1 pound. (Scratches head) I was wearing the same clothes. I weighed at approximately the same time of day…weird. But I’ll take it!

This is no real measure, but I can no longer wear my jeans without a belt. I might have passed this goal but I will not mark it off until my next weigh in.

This past weekend I joined the National Body Challenge. I might not be able to follow the meal plans because my eating habits are closely related to my schedule. I will take advantage of whatever else they have to offer there.

My pants are sagging in the butt today! A coworker noticed it & said my face is getting thinner, too! (giggles with glee!)
