Friday Weigh-In 9/19/08

Still moving in the right direction...

Current Weight: 315
Last Week's Weight: 317
Loss for the Week: 2

Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 68


I can only give Praise to God for the loss this week! I have a recurring issue with my foot that flared up over last weekend. It kept me sidelined for most of the week so I really wasn't expecting to post any loss...and yet....

Thanks for the great comments that had ideas for snacks and other de-lish food ideas. Keep 'em coming!

Wanted to give you a link to a recent article on Marty & Amy from The Biggest Loser. I hope it will show you that weight is a continuing issue...even for them. (Note: Marty & Amy are the creators of SupperThyme's 3-a-Day Fast Track meal program)

Friday Weigh-In 8/15

What?...

Current Weight: 324
Last Week's Weight: 321
Gain?? for the Week: 3

Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 59


I'm very sure that if you were in my bathroom around 3:45 this morning you would have seen a cartoon come to life. When I saw the number on my scale I know my eyes jumped out of my head and became big as dinner plates (a'la Daffy Duck). I was a bit stunned.

Now that I have had a few hours to absorb it, I think one thing has become crystal... I need to get back on track with regular exercise! I'm at the point where the food alone isn't going to cut it anymore. I know this is not a news flash but I'm a procrastinator. (Gasp! Shock!) Even though I started strong on the bike, the wonderful food plan from SupperThyme's Fast Track made it easy to lose weight and I slacked off.

Slacking seems to be something many of us excel at. For you, it might not be exercise but keeping in touch with God. Just like getting on the bike, all you have to do is "do it." You can just start talking to Him or pick up the Bible and read his letters to you. Don't wait another day.

So, the wake up call has been received. All three pounds of it! It has to be the right food and the right exercise to achieve the right results. It is all on me now and how I face this challenge. Let's see...

Live Well! Live Healthy!

Friday Weigh-In 3/21/08

Ok, I sneaked a peek at the scale on Tuesday and had dropped 2 pounds. So, stepping on the scale this morning I was looking forward to the number...

Current Weight: 340
Last Week's Weight: 344
Loss for the Week: 4

Starting Weight: 383 Total Loss: 43


Now that's what I'm talking about! HA!

More than half-way to my goal! So many people have asked me what happens when I reach my goal of losing 80 pounds. That's easy....

I Keep Going!

This first number was just something that Jimmy Page and I discussed when I started this quest. He looked at me and said, "How would it feel to be 300 pounds?" I told him that it had been 15 or 17 years since I was there and so I have forgotten how it felt. That is how 80pounds became the first goal. Once there....well, we'll see.

I want to wish you a Blessed Easter. I would not be here if it was not for the miracle of the Resurrection of Jesus. I can't begin to tell you how I have felt the power of God helping me to keep on track and strengthening my will power when I was feeling weak. If you aren't sure what I'm talking about??
