Since I last updated, I’ve lost .5 lbs. Not a lot, I know, but better than nothing. I currently weigh 200 lbs. exactly.
My diet hasn’t been the best in the last 10 days or so. We had Chick-fil-A twice, and we had birthday cake for my husband’s birthday. We also had a big birthday dinner at home. We’ve started a tradition of allowing the birthday boy or girl to pick dinner, and it’s usually something delicious and indulgent. But we’re celebrating a birthday, so I don’t mind. π
And while all the food was delicious, it didn’t help my weight loss efforts.
I’ve also not been getting on the treadmill like I’d hoped, and I’ve been spending a lot of time sitting for work, so I haven’t been exercising much, either.
Again, not good if you are trying to lose weight or be healthy.
But it’s a new week! Progress will be made by God’s grace.
Here’s what my progress looks like so far:
Beginning weight:Β 220 lbs.
Current Weight:Β 200 lbs.
Goal Weight:Β 170 lbs.
# of total pounds I want to lose in 2012:Β 50lbs.
# of pounds to go until I reach my goal:Β 30 lbs.
Total # of pounds lost to date:Β 20 lbs.
Some highlights: I’ve lost 20 lbs. since I started blogging my weight loss journey, and I’ve lost a total of 48.5 lbs. since I gave birth to Elisabeth 7 months ago.
Howβs your weight loss journey going?
Hi Sandra,
Hope the fam is doing well. I miss you guys. Well since I left you guys I’ve lost 12 lbs. I still eat foods I like, but only once a week for my cheat day and lots of H20. Oh and working out at least 4 days a week. Great work on your weight loss. You look great!
Hi Rachael,
Sorry I took so long to comment back, but that IS wonderful! 12 pounds lost, wow! That’s great!
I feel like I need to work on drinking more water…this seems to be a regular issue for me. I just don’t focus on it enough throughout the day, and I forget.
I hope you are doing well! The kids enjoyed having you here! π
This week I lost 5 pounds. I am sure it was all the stress this past week.
I am glad to see you allow for special occasions with your diet. I think the balance is what makes keeping to a new way of eating easier. Hope your week goes well and you get in your exercise.
You are doing so well on your weight loss! I’ve gained a bit this summer since I haven’t been able to do my regular exercise routine, since I’m doing the physical therapy. I also think I tend to eat more too because I’m not getting that “runner’s high” from the exercise. Hopefully after my surgery and recovery is over, I can get back to my regular routine and have more success in the weight loss department!
Hi Erin,
Prayers for your surgery. I’ll be following your progress on your blog, and I hope you are able to get back to a normal routine soon, friend.
Hi Sandra,
Thanks for sharing with us your experience! Your ambition makes the difference! I think the key to success for all of us is to adopt a more healthy lifestyle, to exercise and to eat daily as much as we can fruits and vegetables. Good luck!
Thanks, Mihai! We have definitely adopted a healthier lifestyle, and I can see the results in our whole family. It’s wonderful. π Thanks for stopping by!
Hang in there girl….you can do it.
I’m Kim coming to you from BloggyCon. Hope I get to meet you.

Really great results.Everyone should have such a diet plan and write down the results which may be not in weight but in the shape of the body.My wife started such diet not long ago and now she just have to keep doing it and the results will come I am sure.
Good luck from me!
