Weight Loss Progress/Stats

This page will help keep me honest about my weight loss. I’ve even decided (gulp!) to list my actual weight, something that I never thought I’d be comfortable doing.

Goal: My goal is to lose 140 pounds, and I’m hoping to lose a large percentage of that by August 2008, in time for CTLB’s wedding in Connecticut.

12/1 - 281.8 (Starting Weight)

12/8 - 274.1 (-7.7) This is the most I’ve ever lost in one week on any diet.

12/15 - 273.3 (-. (-8.5 total) Less than I would’ve hoped, but still, -8.5 for 2 weeks is great.

1/5 - 276.7 (+3.4) (-5.1 total) The holidays really didn’t throw me off too much, it was the craving I had the other night. I weighed myself then and the scale said 283.2, so this is actually 5 lbs down from that. Anyway, the point is, I need to get back on track in full and start seeing major results.

1/12 - 274.3 (-2.4) (-7.5 total) Getting back on track feels good. I hope I can lose at this pace for a while.

1/18 - 274.1 (-.2) (-7.7 total). This is when I hate having to get my period.

1/23 - 273.2 (-.9) (-8.6 total). Finally a bit lower than after Phase 1. I may need to go on Phase 1 again to jumpstart my weight loss.

2/9 - 272.0 (-1) (-9.6 total). First week of Phase 1, again. I think I really lost more like 3 lbs. this week, because I think I had gained some from Superbowl Sunday eating.

2/16 - 270.1 (-1.9) (-11.5 total) More than 10 pounds down. I wish I would’ve lost this weight faster, but I know that slow weightloss is the key to keeping it off.

2/23 - 268.4 (-1.7) (-13.2 total) Good progress this week.

3/22 - 263.2 (-5.2) (-18.4 total) Not bad, considering I haven’t been as strict.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m making a separate section for my fasting weigh-ins because those are done in the medical office, in the afternoon after “eating” all day, and with clothes & shoes on. I am going to wear the same outfit each weigh-in so that the results are consistent.

4/8 - 279.8 (Starting Weight)

4/15 - 270.4 (-9.4) Whoo Hoooo! I can’t believe I lost this much in one week, especially after the Girls’ Weekend in Napa. I am so proud of myself, and can’t wait to see continued results.

4/22 - 262.8 (-7.6) (-17 total) 17 pounds in two weeks, are you kidding me? Exciting results!

4/29 - 261.4 (-1.4) (-18.4 total) Disappointing week. 2nd TOM in 21 days.

5/6 - 256.0 (-5.4) (-23.8 total) This is amazing. Almost 24 pounds in one month!

5/13 - 252.7 (-3.3) (-27.1 total) I didn’t lose as much as I usually do this week, but I did break the 25 lb mark!

5/20 - 252.4 (-.3) (-27.4 total) Graduation party consequences that I’m totally ok with, because how often will I celebrate receiving my Masters degree?!

5/27 - 247.6 (-4.8 ) (-32.2 total) Wow! Back on track, for sure.

6/3 - 245.4 (-2.2) (-34.4 total) A better result than I thought. I’m satisfied with this.

6/10 - 242.7 (-2.7) (-37.1 total) I hit the -35 pound mark!

6/17 - 246.1 (+3.4) (-33.7 total) I knew I was going to be up this week because of all the celebrating, but it’s ok. I know what I have to do to get back on track.

6/24 - 241.6 (-4.6) (-38.3 total) I love Medifast! I’m definitely back on track, AND I’m eating real food, so I don’t have any cravings.

7/2 - 238.1 (-3.5) (-41.8 total) What a great birthday present! Finally hit the 230s and made -40 bling!

7/15 - 233 (-5.1) (-46.8 total) I’m very happy with this comeback. This is the lowest I’ve weighed in years.

7/22 - 231.2 (-1. (-48.6 total).  Another great week.  Steady progress.
