Happy Friday! Sorry for my absence this week. My only excuse is Fall Break…but that was only on Monday and Tuesday. Oops.

Now that The Biggest Loser is on again, you must read the following in Alison Sweeney’s voice.

Previous weight: 172.4
Current weight: 172.6
This week’s loss: + 0.2
Total: – 6.4

Left arm: 14″
Right arm: 14″
Hips: 40.5″ (down 0.5″)
Stomach: 39″
Waist: 34″
Right thigh: 25″
Left thigh: 25″
Bust: 39.5″

Yes, I gained this week, but I’m perfectly fine with it. Why on earth would I be content with gaining weight you ask? First, it’s only 0.2 pounds. Second, I enjoyed the hell out of my Fall Break. It may or may not have included two straight days of Chinese food and an entire frozen pizza to myself. I’m not mad about it. Third, I’m choosing to look at the big picture here – shocking, I know. I’m at my lowest weight since last year at this time, and I’ve lost the crap-ton of weight that I gained over the summer. This girl is a happy camper.

Guess what tomorrow is. My very first 5K! Stay tuned!

Happy Friday! It’s that time again.

Previous weight: 173.6
Current weight: 172.4
This week (or two)’s loss: – 1.2
Total: – 6.6

There wasn’t much of a change in my measurements, but there was a change.

Left arm: 14″
Right arm: 14″
Hips: 41″ (down 0.5″)
Stomach: 39″ (down 0.25″)
Waist: 34″
Right thigh: 25″
Left thigh: 25″
Bust: 39.5″ (down 0.5″ – damn)

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday, everyone! Let’s get right to it, shall we?

Previous weight: 174.2
Current weight: 173.6
This week’s loss: – .6
Total: – 5.4

Since the scale isn’t everything, I’ve decided to do my measurements as well. Maybe it will give me a more accurate picture of how I’m doing. Here are my starting measurements:

Left arm: 14″
Right arm: 14″
Hips: 41.5″
Stomach: 39.25″
Waist: 34″
Right thigh: 25″
Left thigh: 25″
Bust: 40″

That might be too much information for some of you, but I’m sure you can deal.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Happy Friday, everyone! Thank goodness for the weekend. I haven’t officially weighed-in in about a month, but here goes nothing!

Previous weight: 176.2
Current weight: 174.2
This week’s (or four) loss: – 2
Total: – 4.8

Not much is changing body-wise that I can tell, but I feel a lot better. Slowly but surely, right?

Have a fantastic weekend!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately! Much has happened in the past three weeks. My internship ended, I took a much-needed break, I moved back to school, and I completed the first few days of classes! Did I record any of those events with pictures? Sadly, no. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

I’m back today with my next weigh-in!

Previous weight: 178.2
Current weight: 176.2
This week’s (or three) loss: -2
Total loss: -2.8

With this loss, I’m almost to my lowest weight since starting this bad boy!

It’s that time again!

Previous weight: 179.2
Current weight: 178.2
This week’s loss: – 1
Total loss: – 0.8

One pound down! With this loss, I’m now officially back under my starting weight!

I’ll leave you with a picture of my latest obsession. Those are cuties. If you haven’t heard of them, you need to go to the grocery store immediately. They are delicious, little orange-y type things. Life-changing.

Happy Friday!

As you may have noticed, I have not discussed my actual weight in quite some time. This is because I gained back the few pounds I had lost and then some in exactly the way I talk about here. Luckily, I’ve snapped out of that and have lost about half of the weight I have gained this summer. The number still isn’t particularly good, but it’s better than it was. This is why I’ve decided to do weigh-ins again! I know you guys have just been on the edges of your seats, waiting for me to do another weigh-in. Also, it’s been exactly three months since my last weigh-in, which is an anniversary that I can’t ignore.

Previous weight (from three months ago): 176
Current weight: 179.2
Total loss: +3.2

I’m not doing any weigh-in pictures today because the results of 30 Day Shred will be posted next week, and I don’t want to ruin the surprise!

Two weigh-ins in one week? You lucky reader, you.

Starting weight: 177

Current weight: 176.2

Total weight loss: 2.8 pounds

Now, before you go getting all disappointed that I lost less than a pound, look over that again. I did LOSE. That loss came after a junk-filled weekend at home. Kristian, for the win.

I debated whether or not to post pictures after each weigh-in. It’s embarrassing and whatnot. However, in a moment of clarity, I realized that I could care less about what people think of me. Say what?! Middle school me is freaking out at that statement. All joking aside though, if people judge or ridicule me for my appearance, bring it on. Nothing anyone says can be worse than what I’ve said to myself.

Ultimately, this blog is a way for me to record my journey and track my progress. ME. When I achieve my goals, I know I will love going back to see how far I’ve come, and that’s all that really matters.

Awesome, right? Not. I’m working on it though!

Sidenote: I resisted the urge to stretch my clothing out like I normally do. You’re welcome. My fat, however, did not appreciate it.

Later gators.

I forgot to write about my first weigh-in. My bad.

I used to weigh myself on Mondays. Beginning of the week and all that jazz. Makes sense, right? Well, that’s not happening anymore. This time around, I’m weighing myself on Fridays. Why? If you really want to know, it’s a way for me to cheat. A weekend of self-indulgence and subsequent poundage does not a happy week make. Weighing myself on Friday gives me a few days to make up for whatever havoc I’ve wreaked on my body over the weekend. Sad how well I know myself, right?

(For all you Biggest Loser fans out there, insert Alison Sweeney’s voice here)

My starting weight was 179. My current weight is (or was as of last Friday)… 177!

2 pounds down and quite a bit to go.

Later gators.
