Duh
2007-08-21 09:13:00
Just now it hit me. I realize exactly when I began to pack on weight. It was when we made the move from Philadelphia to Lancaster. I was thirteen. In Philadelphia, I walked a mile to school, and a mile back. I’m not exaggerating. I really did just check the distance at mapquest - exactly 1.03 ...

Ups, Downs, Roller Coaster Ride
2007-08-21 07:47:00
Weeee! Throw your hands up in the air like you just don’t care, its a ups, downs, loopy loop roller coaster ride! My weight reads according to my scale 230lbs. Analog scales are so hard to read sometimes. It seems that no matter how hard I try or what I do my weight yo-yo’s! I’m ...

Hi, everyone at Goodbye Blubber! My name is Karen, and I am so happy to be joining this community. Over the past ten years, I have dealt with my weight in a number of ways. I’ve tried everything, from starvation, to good diet, and exercise as well. While I did do well and lose about ...

Being a Senior Sucks for my Weight Loss
2007-08-20 23:46:00
Being a senior and taking 19 hours, two jobs, and a radio show (hopefully) is seriously cutting into my working out time. I haven’t lost jack, haven’t gained jack, or even know anybody named Jack (wait, one guy - but that’s beside the point). I figure filming stuff all during the weekends and walking in ...

Another day, another pound
2007-08-20 18:38:00
(Not that a pound a day is good to lose, but so far that’s what the scale is telling me) 292.4! Is it okay if I check in here everyday with my weight? It makes me feel more “accountable”, and thus I act more responsible.

Newbie!
2007-08-20 11:28:00
Hey, I’m new here! Short intro: I’ve struggled with my weight since I was 11 (I’m now almost 21), and I’ve been up and down all over the place. At 16 I was a size 16, now I’m a 8-9, but I’m really short too, so I’m trying to become clinically ‘normal’ in terms of ...

293.4. 18.4 lbs. away from my first goal! It’s so nice to see the scale’s numbers dropping, even if it is just by a little bit.

Do I Stay?
2007-08-18 23:09:00
This morning’s weight was 172.8. It has been below 175 for a week now. I think I can officially say I’ve reached my goal now. So now what? Do I stay here and blog with you guys? What about? I don’t know. What do you think? I’m sure I’ll head toward my bigger goal soon, but ...

I’ve been taking alli now for two days, and now today. I haven’t had any “treatment effects”, though I did notice a bit of *hover here for a bit of TMI*. Anyway, I have been eating three meals a day, watching portions, and keeping snacking between to a minimum. Also, I have been doing what ...

Just a quick note to let you all know that I won’t be posting for the next week, so you guys wouldn’t worry that I am holed up in a candy store somewhere, eating my substantial weight in doritos. I am taking off to a nice cabin with no internet or phone or anything. I ...

So So So So Close
2007-08-16 06:21:00
276.8. Less than 2 lbs to go to the pedicure. Really, the water weight loss is the ONLY positive thing to come out of this period. Thankfully, I escaped the period pig out relatively unscathed, with only one small bag of Doritos. I am starting to realize that I actually AM going to make it to the 275 mark, which means I’ll have to pick a new minigoal. Suggestions welcomed!

Woot, got to go!
2007-08-15 22:34:00
I actually got to go to the gym, yesterday. According to their scale, I weigh 265lbs . Since, my car is broke down - I have to go when my mom feels like taking me. She agreed to Sunday thru Wednesday. I didn’t go today because I seriously need to clean my place. Mom also exercised a bit but I wish she could do more. Her health concerns me greatly. ( high blood pressure, overweight, diabetes, nerve ending damage in her legs. ) But I can’t complain - she did at least a total of fifteen minutes  in 5 minute intervals.

225 pounds. According to my analog scale. -jumps for joy- this means I lost 11 pounds. Hopefully that is true. My digital scale at work likes to mess with me. 234pounds today, 232 pounds yesterday. According to Mr. Digital. I’m going to stick with the analog scale since that’s what I started my weight off ...

I got off track there for a while. The stress of getting all my school stuff figured out and what not. It is definitely hard to stick to when you work a full time job, have two kids, and are preparing to start school in less than a month. The good news is, I haven’t gained any. ...

I can smell the salon foot lotion?
2007-08-14 14:05:00
That’s how close I am to minigoal. 278.2. I am so happy the scale is moving again. This is seriously going to be the best pedicure ever because it has been hard earned. All I want this week are Reese peanut butter cups and doritos, due to the lovely hormonal changes that happen monthly.

Hitting the gym
2007-08-14 07:05:00
I’m headed to the gym tomorrow and I’m going to try to make it there at least 3 days a week. From when I went to the emergency room a week ago - the weight was either 274 or 287, I don’t remember which. I’m thinking it was 274, though. So fingers crossed, nothing happens to where ...

278.6. Just a teeny tiny 3.6 lbs left until I get my pedicure. I am hoping that it will just fall off as the red week seems to be impending. I am also going to start using the elliptical after work now that our house guest has gone home. Edit: Just got to work. Left my ...

Almost at Minigoal
2007-08-06 16:16:00
280 this morning. Five more lbs to minigoal.  I am getting a LOT better at estimating calories in food. Yesterday we walked all over Whyte Ave. We stopped at Funky Pickle, which is the BEST pizza in Edmonton and each got a piece. I ate about half of mine, estimating that was about 300 calories. I ...
