The scale has been stalled out for a few weeks now, but that’s okay. I’m looking forward to doing monthly measurements this weekend. Plus I can SEE my body looking different, I FEEL different in my clothes, and I am PUSHING myself to lift heavier in Body Pump.
I’ve hit the point where my weight loss since Christmas is noticeable. Two times this week a female colleague (both of whom I’m “work friendly” with) commented on my weight loss, but without saying those exact words. They both also noted “not that you weren’t fit before.” I try to accept the compliment and help them feel less awkward giving it because ultimately I appreciate it. My go to is “thanks, it feels good to be back down to “fighting weight””

I’ll take it despite seeing 182 briefly this week. I need to remind myself that I shouldn’t expect to see “big losses” every week and especially the week following a big loss.
I have my eye on the prize to try and be down ~5 pounds for the month of March.
I am just so proud of myself I can barely stand it! I’ve never seen such steady results before in my life!
In weight watchers yesterday we talked about how sharing our losses and success with the program can be difficult at times. Sometimes people are not supportive, or not as far along on their weight loss journey, or some people even want to sabotage you. Sabotage came up with some people at the meeting – since it’s a WW at work meeting a few women are in the same office and said their boss brings 2 boxes of fresh donuts EVERY Friday despite many people in the office are on WW or trying to lose/maintain on their own. One woman said she tried to talk to their boss about it, but she laughed it off and then later brags about how she never is tempted to eat the donuts she brings!)
Anywaaaaay. Weight loss sharing is hard because I’m proud, but I don’t want to brag either. Plus weight loss and maintenance is a life long journey and I have already had my ups and down enough to know not to get too proud or comfortable either.
I just need to reach the tipping point that I can no longer wear the clothes I’m beginning to swim in and then wear/buy clothes that fit better and therefore perhaps my weight loss will be more noticeable…
I’ve hit the weight-loss stage where my pants are at serious risk of falling off of me if my hands are full…

Big drop since last week’s post friends/conference travel weigh in and thrilled to see I’m down 1 pound from 2 weeks ago.
The 170s are getting so close, I can hardly believe it – or remember when I was last there (summer 2012)!

Not shocked. We had guests in town this past weekend and I just got back from Philly for work. Only one workout since last Friday and my eating was not on plan.
I’m back to regularly scheduled life and confident this is only a temporary setback!
Measuring February!
Solid month of weight loss and inches lost. I really see my arms getting toned! I wish I did Jan measurements for comparison sake, but it is what it is.

The recent changes in my body have been riveting. I’m back at my lowest weight since summer 2014. I am remembering how different/”easier” some workouts are when you have less body mass and are stronger. For example, rotating hovers – something that used to be so difficult for me and then just this week they felt like a “breeze” – I guess that means I have to start doing them on my toes. The same thing goes for push ups.
It’s almost like coming out of amnesia (i’m guessing), I’ve been getting flooded with memories of when I was able to do a workout (like plank jacks) with “ease.” I feel like I truly repressed them after I was too out of shape/heavier to do those workouts the same way.
The psychological aspects of weight loss never cease to fascinate me.

Wowza! I’ve hit the point where I can really see clearly the changes in my body. It’s amazing to know I’m earning this body back. I have a renewed sense of how committed I can be and what other transformations lay ahead! I’m worth the fight!
For better or for worse BMI is a tool. As of today I’m squarely in the middle of the overweight range (25-29.9) at 27.4. I find this to be very exciting!
