Lose 30 pounds

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.

In August I went on an 1800 calorie per day diet and ate 5 to 6 mini meals a day. I lost a total of 15 pounds by October. I also exercised an average of 5 to 6 days per week. The Holidays came along with stress at work. I regained 3 to 5 pounds, but am going to start back eating the mini meals and exercising with a goal to lost 10 more pounds for right now, then go from there!

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.

as of thursday, I’ve finally lost 10 pounds!!!!!!!! :D Now, I’m gonnatry for 186lbs.

Start: 206lbs
Current: 196lbs :]
Temp. Goal: 186lbs
Goal: 160lbs

I made such good progress on this goal during the first half of the year, it is disappointing to carry it over into 2008. The sad truth is that I’ve regained most of what I lost. I’m down only two pounds from my peak weigh-in a year ago.

I know exactly what changes I could make to acheive this goal. Something is missing, and it has nothing to do with knowledge. A behavioral adjustment is required – a real lifestyle shift, equal in intensity to the one that put me off track back in July. If I do not find within myself the impetus to do this, I know there will be an external motivator in the form of some health problem. I’d prefer to avoid such a lesson.

Hi All,
I have lost a total of 12 pounds and it feels great. It is nice to have my jeans sagging!! I still have 18 pounds left, but since I lost 12 I can lose the other 18. I walk everyday, and I eat smaller meals. I will keep you all updated on my progress, and I cheering for the rest of you. I love chocolate, and love food, so if I can lose 12 pounds, so can you!

I did lose 15 of the 30 lbs only to get injured and gain 3 lbs back. Now I have to motivate myself again.

I have lost back about half of what I lost, which is a bad way of saying I’m only about a quarter of the way to this goal. After a year of ups and downs, I’ve got more entries here than pounds lost. That’s just not acceptable.

Memo to Self:

Exercise more. It’s on my 43T list, but not in my schedule.
No food/drink after 8pm. This is where the loss has been lost.
Drink more water. I had nailed this goal, but let it slip.
Portion control. Stop going for seconds/thirds.
Breakfast. This a good routine; keep it up.
Slimfast for lunch. Recommit to this; it’s been working.
Increments. Set intermediate goals; lose 5 lbs first.

As soon as I complete my current challege goal, I’m moving this to the top of my list. Enough already. It’s time to get this one done.

Since leaving my day job a month ago, I’ve actually regained three of the 15 pounds I’d lost. My routines are off, both eating and exercise. There’s no time like the present to rededicate myself to this goal. I’ve still got about 19 weeks left to drop 18 pounds. Piece of -cake- fruit!
