Lose 30 pounds

Lost this week: 3
Total weight loss: 3
Goal for next week: lose 1 pound (sounds easy but I’m sure I overate today so tomorrow I’ll weigh more).

163.5

In the last 5 days I’ve been eating 1400-1500 calories and lost 3.5 pounds. I’m not hungry and I don’t even think about binging.

I ate pizza at 2:30 am (after Israel Independence Day) and lost some weight on the next day – weird.

167.

So, I decided to give myself 5 months for this challenge and I know I can do it this time :)

Today I realized I’ve been doing everything in the wrong way.
I always want fast results but my diets lead to NO results. I wasted the last 4 months! If I was on a “slower” diet I could lose up to 20 pounds! But instead, I’m at the same weight.

I’m starting a new diet with 1350-1400 calories, it’s going to be more like a new lifestyle than a diet. And I’ll keep exercising :)
I want a permanent weight loss.

CW: 164

I’m trying to work out more :) and soon I’ll buy dumbbells. And I drink more water and green tea (or Apple flavored caffeine free tea).

In September I want to be slim and fit (and 132 pounds!). I know that now I must do all I can to achieve this goal. This is something I want since 2006, I’ve been waiting for far too long. It’s time to kick ass.

I’m still motivated which is great. But I feel that I don’t try hard enough. Some things I need to do:
- Cut down some of the sugar (I ate 350 calories of gummi bears today…like…WHAT WAS I THINKING?!)
- Drink more green tea/water and less diet coke.
- MORE VEGETABLES.

In 07-08 I lost 40 pounds but after a period of time in which I forgot about my diet (because of school and holidays) I gained 10 pounds back. Now I’m ready to lose the extra 30.

Highest: 198.6
Lowest: 154.3
Current: 164.6
Goal: 132

I don’t trust our bathroom scales so I always try to weigh myself at my chiropractor’s office on the “good” ones. It has been a month since my last visit and two months since my last weigh-in. What a pleasant surprise to discover I’ve lost 18 pounds!

I credit much of the loss to better eating habits. Since I’ve started working fulltime on this political campaign, I don’t snack in the evenings. Also, I am walking more. I think it’s going to be a great summer of weight loss coming up. I’ll soon be ticking off this goal as “done” and adding a new one: Lose 20 (more) pounds.

I have lost a total of 20 pounds and I haven’t been able to lose anymore. I have been the same weight for about 4 months now. I was told that I need to increase my workout to lose the last 10 pounds. I really don’t feel like jogging, so I am walker longer distances. I still love my cookies and desserts, but I will have to cut back even more now.

I managed to get past the holiday season and actually drop a pound, thanks in large part to a three-day fast and some significant changes in eating habits.

I’ve also done something I never did before: Take full-length photos of myself, front and profile, in my underwear. They look like police mug shots … and deservedly so, given the crimes I’ve committed against my body to get to this weight. But the plan is in place, and I’m already looking forward to taking the after pix. Should be quite a contrast.
