219.5, no change from yesterday.
God, I hate plateaus.
Nancy Delain's journey through losing approximately 100 pounds. This blog provides accountability and contains my observations, my thoughts, my feelings on losing the weight I've lugged around for too long.

Weighing In 7/6/2017
219.5, no change from yesterday.
After that day of bad eating, I'm shocked I didn't gain weight. Peanut butter sandwiches and whole-grain bread dipped in olive oil are so tasty ... but they are not conducive to losing weight!! Today I'm back on the straight and narrow; I'll have smoothies for breakfast and lunch and probably chicken-lettuce tacos for dinner (gotta thaw the chicken). And I shall walk.

I will write tomorrow morning; tonight I am simply too tired to do this.

Well, it's time to even it out. I've dropped over a pound per day for the last couple of days; that could not have continued. As long as I keep eating healthy and moving more, the weight will continue to peel off at a goodly rate. I would like, though, to rev it up to 10 lb per month. That, of course, means exercising more, which would be good for me anyway. June was abysmal, as I lost only 4.75 lb in 30 days. That shows that I didn't follow the program well at all. I've done much better so far in July, which is good.
From the start on 14 March 2017, I've lost 36.5 lb and none of my clothes fit me anymore. I need a whole new wardrobe! I won't buy new, of course. Maybe this is the time to do the clothes-renting thing until I reach my goal weight.
Happy Fourth of July! Truly this is Independence Day indeed, for I am FINALLY breaking the fatty ties that bound me for so very long!!

Weighing In 7/3/2017
219.5, down from yesterday's 220.
I broke another tens digit today! I bought the CD of the new Alan Alda book on communication as my reward (also an oversized pair of sweat pants to go with my oversized hoodie that I'll take up to the lake when my gentleman caller returns from Down Under). It's coming off!!!!

Weighing In 7/2/2017
220, down from yesterday's 221.25.
Wow. If I can keep this up, I'll be at goal weight in no time. Of course, I can't; weight does not continue to drop at over a pound per day. Would that it would!
I will owe myself a HUGE reward in 21 pounds, and that is now a visible goal. That will crack the hundreds digit ... SO looking forward to weighing less than 200 lb!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a couple of days. Last time I actually weighed in was 6/28, when I weighed 223.25. I'm down 2 lb from that today, at 221.25.
It's measurements and pictures day.

The kickstart to the weight loss is the mile-long walks I now take in the decent weather. I didn't walk last night because it was DUMPING rain, but I'll walk this morning before my violin lesson (I'm starting violin lessons today!). That will kickstart the inches to melt off, too. That said, I've lost a total of 27.25 inches since mid-March; that's not half bad. I didn't do well in June, but that's okay; June is done, it's now July, and I move forward having learned from mistakes and without beating myself up.
Pictures. I'm still a candied apple on two stilts. Well, that's changing. Slowly, but it's changing:
One of the most attractive things in the world is an fat old lady in her undies. Well, sorry. I tried a swimsuit last month, but the swimsuit has structure in it that prevents really watching the changing body, so we're back to the undies.
