How to lose another 10 pounds
It made me
relieved!
 "I could still lose just a few more pounds, but Im now back within my "normal" weight range."
How I did it: Realizing, in May of this year, that I had reached a weight gain that put me at 30% body fat (considered obese"), and at almost 30 pounds overweight, and also with summer approaching, I was highly motivated to get my self back to normal. Lessons & tips: I first tried to lose 20-25 pounds in a month, but fell short, only losing about 11 pounds that month. I then pursued this goal to help me lose another 10 pounds.

How I did it: I got a personal trainer for one day per week. I exercise for about a total of 4-5 days per week. I don't eat all of the junk food and drink sodas anymore. I eat about 1300 calories per day--this was determined by my trainer and watch the fats and carbs. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I jogged every other day, stopped eating massive quantities of cookies, chocolate, and chips. I focused on the smaller goal of 10 lb instead of the larger goal, which was to lose 65 pounds. I found it surprisingly easy to settle into new routines - of exercising regularly and getting out of the habit of eating as entertainment. I really think that having the smaller weight loss goal made all the difference; also ha… Read how I did it…

3 pounds into this one.
3 weeks ago
since3 9-9-09 i have lost 13.8 pounds, thanks to weight watchers. i want to lose a total of 40 pounds, so i have 27 more to go. that is very doable. if i lose an additional 10, i can become a lifetime member. i figure it’ll take me anywhere from 4-6 months to do it. WHEN i become a lifetime member, i am going to belly dance for my group. i really enjoy going to meetings. we have fun.

im posting late for friday, but today at this moment, im at 143.8 pounds.
i am having an off period right now though- eating chinese take-out, pizza, and last night eating delicious spicy fried hot wings at a family get together, oh and lots of candy as well-chewy atomic fireballs and hot tomales.
so im binge-ing, sort of, but now its time to moderate and get certain things in my life back in control so i can stop binging on sweets and spicy foods. (i know its emotionally charged eating, although those spicy hot wings were really, REALLY good!) I cut myself a break, and move on…
My family thinks i look great and are proud of me for quickly getting back in shape, and thats nice to hear.
Still, I have a few more pounds to go. I’d like to lose 1 more dress size, then i’ll be able to stop and hopefully maintain.

No change in weight this week. Some stress has taken priority over weight loss goals, but Im still maintaining diet to a degree. I should reach 140 by end of Sept. if i do the right thing and quickly eliminate unnecessary stress.

It stayed pretty steady here all week. Im feeling like myself again (in physical appearance), and am ready to go shopping (next week, if finances allow it).
I make better choices with food and I make sure i keep a bag of peanuts to snack on in my purse in order to have a defense against urges to eat candy, chips or french fries when im out walking.
Again, no gym, no cardio, but lots of walking and errands.
Im losing weight and my skin is looking better too.

This morning my scale actually read at 145 pounds, but it stabilized this afternoon at about 146 and change, so im estimating that im at 147.
145 by the end of month will be great.My diet for this phase of weight loss is focused on 3 things:
- Detox
- Balanced Nutrition
- Hair/Skin/Nails (Beauty foods-LOL)

Friday August 14, 2009: Weight @ 149 pounds
2 months ago
i did it. i lost another 10 pounds.
i went from about 160 pounds to 149 pounds.
it took 6 weeks
i watched calories, walked, drank more water than normal, and only drank diet drinks, like diet green tea. i ate fruit and nuts every day, but had a well balanced dinner with lean meat with the fam in the evenings.
i see the biggest difference in my arms this time. They are looking good to me.
im going to do another ten pounds or so (149 lbs to 138 lbs), but my deadline on this next ten pounds is not as tight. After all, summer is almost over. My focus is to really change my relationship with food, really get to know it nutrition-wise, and actually cook more. i really want to avoid processed foods and excess sodium, sugar and salt, and other junk food.
im guessing this next 10 pounds will also take about 6 weeks.
