[Week 4 -11/6/09] 5 hours ago

Starting Weight: 191
Goal Weight: 160
Current Weight: 194.6
Gain/Loss: +1.4
Total lbs. Lost (+/-): -3.6

Ughhh… I have been trying to make better choices food-wise and exercise-wise, but at the same time when I do make not-so-good choices I know it but do nothing about it. What I would like to start doing is to log on to 43T every morning to remind myself of this and other goals and the steps that I need to take to achieve them.

This week’s goals:
3. Have a fruit or vegetable with every meal.
5. Limit myself to one dessert a day.
9. Drink more water! Use flavor packets to spice it up if necessary.

Continuing goals:
6. Limit myself to one soda at the dining hall per day.
8. Use the nutritional information on the dining hall website to make smart choices.
13. Go to 7 make-up karate classes. (at least!)
15. Attend karate on Mondays & Wednesdays.
27. Reduce stress by keeping organized to-do lists, setting up a study schedule, and completing assignments ahead of time (not the night before).
28. Keep in touch with old friends through Skype, Facebook, e-mail, texts, and even snail mail.

Alright, so I wanted to do this goal originally at the beginning of the summer and got totally sidetracked. But when I started at the beginning of the summer, I was 165.

Now I’m at 155, and 10 pounds is great. :) But still, it wouldn’t hurt to lose 10 more…or even 20!

I’m doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred again, but I’m doing level 2 this time. it kicks my ass quite thoroughly. in addition, sometimes i do the dallas cowboy cheerleader bootcamp as well. i want to lose this weight in time for christmas, when i see family in canada!

Starting weight: 165
Current: 155

No more procrastinating!

Terrible, terrible, terrible. 6 days ago

Funny how as soon as the scale is put away, it comes time for parties and potlucks and halloween candy. I’m fairly certain I could have lost weight in the past few weeks if I didn’t eat junk food nearly every day.
I went grocery shopping and “splurged” on $40 of healthy, good, REAL food so I don’t have to eat spaghettini or meatloaf every day. My roommate says you can’t put a bill on health, so I’m going to invest in vegetables this winter.
Stats: 120 lbs, 34/26.5/36
I’ve decided to reach my goal by Christmas: 8 lbs to lose in 7.5 weeks. This should be feasable enough.

maybe a little more… maybe a little less..

Yesterday was weigh-day for me, and it was a good week!

Can anybody tell me why we lose weight in our fingers and faces first?
Hello, Mr. Weight Loss?! My fingers are fine; how about shaving a little off my behind?

:)
