my weight off and getting smaller?

Last week I posted a photo of myself and a kind reader commented after I commented on another comment on another blog:

Funny what we'll each put on our blogs. There is no way in hell I'd post a photo like you did... and while I tell my weight, I won't photograph the scale.


Humm....Maybe you were in awe of my self confidence?

Or perhaps you just thought I was stupid enough to think I looked good?

Whatever.

Thanks for the kuddos I think.

I figure if I go out in public looking like that for heaven's sake what's the difference if I post it on the internet for a few thousand more people to view.

Not much.

Besides, will it motivate me?

So, the photo this week makes me look a bit better. I'm still in work out clothes but I'm smiling at least, and since my arm is UP, I have a waist.

SPONSOR

Go ahead, raise your arm now - see how your waist suddenly appears?

Cool huh.

Raising your arms also does amazing things for your breasts. Takes off at least ten years I figure.

A few days ago Hubby called my name from the other room.

Where are the cookies?

Huh? I pretended not to hear him.

The chocolate mint ones.

Oh. I ate them.


Still, a few cookies over a week isn't nearly as bad as the week before or the week before that.

No suprise, I didn't loose weight, so I'm not doing the scale photo. No point is there.

But...... I DID LOOSE SOME INCHES!

I can tell. My jeans actually zip up without me having to suck in and lay flat on the floor.

My eating isn't much better. A bit better, but not a lot better, but I'm actually getting my heart rate up and doing the dang required exercise.

My week usually includes a pilates class - and two or three yoga classes and time on the treadmill and elliptical machine. I hate that machine.

But it's working.

How'd you do?

:) I've never done my weight loss series on our family blog like I said I would. Perhaps I need to make a timeline. Hmm.

I am at the same loss (-12 lbs) but in the past 2 weeks I've lost 3/4 in. on my waist and on my hips! Woo hoo! Hopefully next week the scale will catch up.

i haven't been feeling so hot this week so my appetite has been shot. no exercise other than running myself ragged with three kids and a husband that haven't been feeling so hot either. finally, i was knocked down for the count by it all. i imagine i've lost weight but i think getting sick is cheating and using that as a weight loss strategy is also quite disturbed, so i'm not gonna weigh myself. after i feel better and am back to regular routine i'll check in and let you know...

Oh Dr. G. I've lost up to 8 or 10 pounds at times when I've been real sick. Its no fun and then it comes back quick. I hope you feel better soon.

It's been 12 lbs. in 3 months...not a quick loss by any means.
I am eating lowcarb. It's the only way I've ever been able to lose weight. It just works slowly so I have to be patient - that's where I've gotten in trouble before.
It would probably help if I'd get a little exercise, too...
