I had my yearly check in and blood work done last week, and I had to laugh a bit at myself.  My doctor didn't say anything about my 75ish pound weight loss.  I was disappointed!  But then again, he...

It has been a tough few weeks, feeling stuck with the weight loss going up and down but not really getting lower.  Then I had two out of town trips for work back to back.  They probably were a good...

I think I am at a bit of a "reconsider" point in my weightloss habits.  I'm still being regular in my focus on protein, fiber, and water, but for the first time since January at least, I am having ...

I've been following a 16 hour fast model with reduced calories with success, but found my "too restrictive" spot last night!  I thought I'd try the 18 hour fast as I am usually closer to 17 or 17 a...

It's been better the last couple of weeks as I've been seeing the effects of my efforts.  Even went "shopping" and played in the clothes to see what size actually fits me.  As expected, it is all o...

It has been eight years since my last post!  I regained about 100 pounds through eating like I ate pre-surgery--what I wanted (baked goods and snack foods) when I wanted (for emotional and boredom ...

February 7, 2014 - It has been a tough winter.  I don't know if it is the cold (not as bad a Iowa) or the gloominess (again, not as bad as Iowa) or what, but it just seems like it has been long and m...

January 28, 2014 - I've been dealing with the same 3 pounds now for a couple of months.  Since the holiday actually.  But it is due to my choices vs. a plateau.  Part of it is the abundance of swe...

January 14, 2014 - New year, ongoing efforts.  Nothing new about weight loss, just more of the same.  I still exercising, still trying to eat healthy and 'clean', still struggle when traveling, st...

December 27, 2013 - Had the last weigh in of the year at TOPS last night--lost 4.25 pounds but 3 of those were to zero out last week's gain.  I am sooooo ready for the holiday season to be over.  I...

December 5, 2013 - Made it through Thanksgiving pretty well until we hit the movies.  I know how terrible theatre popcorn is for me, but I just couldn't resist.  Ate too much (that would be anythi...

November 25, 2013 - I had a tough end of the week last week.  It has been incredibly stressful at work--just a lot going on and not enough time to get it all done.  Then I only lost .75 lbs. and I ...
